All Chapters of Yearning for Her Return : Chapter 421 - Chapter 430

Making Daniel get down on his knees to exchange a hostage wasn't a solution; it was a clear act of humiliation!Everyone, including Rebecca, the captive, and even the three people behind Daniel, were taken aback. Among the group, Daniel was the only one who remained composed, showing no change in his expression. He stood firm while confronting David, who wore a smile on his face. "What's the matter, dear brother? Do you think my idea isn't good enough for you?" "You're taking this too far!" Ryan couldn't contain his anger and retorted, "Let's have a fair fight, or if you want the Winston family to get involved, that's fine too. But humiliating someone like this is utterly repulsive."David's gaze shifted to Ryan, who was behind him, and he raised his eyebrows slightly. "And who are you? Do you even have the right to speak here? What business is it of yours?" "You!" Ryan's response was cut short as Maxwell pulled him back. Maxwell warned Ryan in a hushed voice, "Don't inte

Both the Johnson and Winston families sent a substantial number of people to aid in the search.Given the Winston family's strong hold on Riverwood, they had the required resources to bring in the personnel necessary for the search. Tillfort Peaks was, in fact, an investment project of the Winston family. Despite Benjamin's attempts to keep it confidential, little did he know that it had caught the eye of several people in Riverwood right from the start. However, when the project eventually went south, it slowly faded from public view. At first, numerous folks thought it would be a lucrative business, but it never progressed beyond the initial planning phase, and they ended up completely deserting the construction site. As for Daniel, even though he had known about the project from the beginning, he hadn't initially placed much importance on it.The concept of constructing a mountain retreat at an altitude of over a thousand meters made sense, but the mountain roads were unde

When Rebecca returned to the cave, David, who was lying on the ground was slowly regaining consciousness.He was burning up all over, and every slight movement seemed like torture. Hearing the commotion at the cave entrance, David slowly shifted his gaze, tightening his grip on the knife in his hand. When he saw who it was, he closed his eyes and unknowingly breathed a sigh of relief. "You fled, and now you've got the nerve to return? Is it because you couldn't find your way, or do you have a screw loose in your head?" David leaned against the rock wall, squinting at Rebecca. Rebecca paid no attention to him. She then walked over to spread the coat she had used as a blanket all night. After that, she placed the chestnuts and persimmons she had gathered on top. There were also two wild fruits she had spotted on the way back. The birds had pecked clean the other fruit on the trees, leaving only these two for her to pluck. "Where did you fetch water last night? I'll go get

"I was complimenting your personality, what's the matter?"Rebecca gave a disdainful glance at the pale-faced David. She wasn't intimidated in the least. She had dared to scold him even when she was kidnapped, and she didn't hesitate to drag him into trouble. Now, did she really need to be afraid of him who could barely sit up due to his illness? A surge of anger rushed through David, and it looked as though he was attempting to sit up. But as soon as he managed to sit upright, his whole body seemed to collapse, and his face turned even paler due to the pain. This condition didn't seem like a result of fever, but more like ... Rebecca began to sense that something was amiss, particularly when she caught a faint whiff of blood in the air after David had shifted slightly. Her expression turned serious as she leaned closer. However, before her fingers could reach David, she was met with a slap on her hand. "Stay away from me." David's tone was weak yet determined. Rebec

Once the thought started to appear, it took root and continued to grow stronger.The fire in the cave flickered. Yet, it was slowly dimming as no one added wood to it.Droopy-eyed, David weakly tossed some firewood into it.The fire dimmed slightly from the branch he threw in. After hearing a soft sound, the fire suddenly built up ferociously and lit the whole cave up.At this point, David suddenly stood up with great struggle despite the pain in his whole body.When he got up, everything before him went black. He lost his strength and was falling flat on the ground.Luckily, he realized he hadn't recovered fully in that split second. He used the stone wall to support his body to get up.He pursed his lips and relaxed for a while. Finally, he forcefully stood up.He turned his gaze up. He saw the cold night before him and staggered toward the outside.He had been to the place to retrieve water. It was about a few hundred meters from where he was. The woman should have been bac
