Chapter 1759However, these were all legends, so that was why Catelyn thought of the team that Edwin had sent out recently.To develop mining operations on the outskirts of Enigma Hollow, they must have met with the people in that hidden village."Alright, I will immediately introduce the team leader to you," Edwin said seriously, looking at Cedrick with an indescribable expression on his face.Cedrick felt Edwin's "compassionate" look and furrowed his eyebrows. "Don't think of me as so fragile. I've been coexisting with this virus for over thirty years, and it hasn't killed me yet.""I can't help but sympathize with you when seeing you like this." Edwin patted Cedrick's shoulder and sincerely expressed his sympathy. "It's all because of your grandfather's mistress. Why did she poison him with a hereditary virus? Will my two adorable nephews also get this disease?"Cedrick fell into a silent silence upon hearing this.If he was the only one to suffer, it would be fine.But the
Chapter 1760The man arranged for two men to help Catelyn and Cedrick with their luggage and introduced himself with a smile, "Mr. Mason, Mrs. Mason, it’s an honor to meet you. I'm Kevin Fillion. Just call me Kevin." Cedrick carried Catelyn off the helicopter and headed for the lounge. He was wearing a black trench coat. His tall figure looked determined as he walked in the blowing wind. He asked Kevin as he walked toward the lounge, "Did Edwin tell you the plan?" Kevin repeatedly nodded. "Yes, Mr. Atherton told me everything, but we rarely go to that village. Only one of our men has been to that village accidentally. Mr. Mason, wait a moment, I'll let him give you more details." Then Kevin called a very thin, small man. The man had dark skin and he looked honest. His name was Tony. According to Tony, the isolated village was in a large virgin forest. One day, Tony entered that village by accident. He got separated from his fellow workers and accidentally fell int
Chapter 1761Hearing Cedrick’s words, Catelyn raised her head and said firmly, "No! Didn't we agree that I would always stay with you?" "You've heard Keven say that this is a primeval forest. Countless dangers are in there. I can't let you come with me. Listen to me. Wait for me here. I'll pick you up as soon as I find the entrance." Cedrick stroked Catelyn's cheek. Through the shadowy light, she clearly saw his sharp face and the worries hidden in his eyes. ‘He plans to leave me here just because it's dangerous? We have faced so many dangers together.’ Catelyn thought. She didn’t agree to be separated from Cedrick, "You guys walk in front, and I will be right behind you. I promise not to rush forward. If someone is bitten by a snake or a worm, I can help. I will not slow you down." Cedrick looked at her deeply and then said forcefully, "I've made up my mind." "You..." "If you insist on coming with me, I will arrange a helicopter to take you back to Sapphire City. Our ki
Chapter 1762A lean figure emerged from the dense forest wearing simple sports gear and heavy snake-proof shoes. On her head was a black cap.Keven brought her to Cedrick.Cedrick lifted her cap, and his face instantly fell."It's you!"A dirty face peeked out from under the hat, clearly adorned with intentional makeup. However, in the depths of the untouched forest, where dew-laden grass and foliage thrived, she found herself surrounded by vegetation even taller than her. The natural dampness of the surroundings effortlessly moistened her face.Stunned, Keven pointed at the woman."Mrs. Mason? Oh my God! How did you get here?"Catelyn smiled at them awkwardly."Catelyn!"Cedrick forced the words out of his girted teeth. His anger was plain to see.Although he led an experienced team deep into the mountains, they all fell for traps. He couldn't believe that she had been following them.Worst still, he hadn't discovered her presence until now."Hi, the weather is nice today
Chapter 1763According to the map and the explanation from Keven, it would take another day or two to reach the village.That night, Cedrick and the others had to set up camp in a comparatively safer forest.They had planned to camp in a cave.But the trees there were too dense, and the nearest cave they found was too dark and deep. No one could tell if it was safe inside.So, instead of wasting time exploring, they found a comparatively safer place to camp and rest.They let someone keep watch all night.At night, the group lit two blazing bonfires to drive away insects and beasts and keep themselves warm.Cedrick was still trying to persuade Catelyn to go back."We're already deep inside. If I go back, it will take at least a day, and we might encounter the same dangers we faced on the way back. Are you willing to take that risk?" Catelyn snuggled up to him.The warm flicker of the firelight enhanced her beauty, casting a captivating and enchanting glow upon her flawless fa
Chapter 1764Cedrick unzipped Catelyn’s tent and saw her nestling in the sleeping bag and sleeping soundly.Catelyn’s pretty mouth was opened slightly, and she snored adorably.She had secretly tailed them for the whole day. To catch up with them, she even carried essential drugs and basic survival nutrition. She was exhausted.Cedrick was worried about her and carried her in his arms silently.Feeling Cedrick’s warm chest, Catelyn rubbed herself against his chest subconsciously and muttered unconsciously, “No... I don’t want to leave... Ceddy...”He thought that she had woken up. However, when he looked down at her, he found that she was talking in her sleep!‘In her sleep, she is still afraid that I will drive her away.‘Alright, she wins.‘Now that she’s reluctant to leave, I will solve the problem with her together no matter how dangerous it will be.’Cedrick carried Catelyn to his tent which was specially customized. It was comfortable and large. As soon as Catelyn lay o
Chapter 1765"I'm not a bad guy. You've got the wrong person... Ceddy, wake up. Let go of me..." No matter how Catelyn explained, Cedrick still lost his reason and turned a deaf ear. Instead, he pinched her harder and tried to strangle her to death. She couldn't even shout for help if she wanted to... Just when Catelyn thought she was likely to die... Bang! Suddenly, there was the sound of a hard object hitting Cedrick’s head. Catelyn saw that Cedrick's gloomy face suddenly became stiff, and then he fainted and fell on her. Keven froze for a moment, then quickly threw the flashlight in his hand, and hurriedly went to see Catelyn. "Mrs. Mason, are you all right?" "I'm fine..." Catelyn touched her neck, coughed several times, and then moved Cedrick aside. Catelyn skillfully examined his pupils and the wound on Cedrick’s head.Fortunately, the wound was not serious, and now he just fainted temporarily. "What has happened to Mr. Mason? Is he sick?" Keven asked with co
Chapter 1766"Thank God, you're fine. I was so scared just now. No matter how I called you, you didn't respond to me. You were trapped in a nightmare..."Cedrick's eyes darkened. "I'm sorry, I made you worry.""What are you talking about?" Catelyn looked at his pale face and said with a tender expression, "We're husband and wife! If I fell ill, would you think I'm a burden?"Cedrick took a deep breath, and his rough fingertips touched her smooth neck, where the bruises were visible."Does it still hurt?"'Damn the virus!'It had reached the point where it could control his mind.Catelyn could feel his self-blame and instinctively pulled up her collar to cover the bruises."I'm fine. Don't take it too hard. It was not your intention, and I don't blame you.""The next time it attacks me, just knock me out or use this for self-defense. Don't let me strangle you again." The thought of hurting his beloved woman made Cedrick feel an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.He took ou
