Chapter 290 Perhaps She Really Did Hate Me
I was taken aback for a moment, but didn’t avoid the question, saying lightly, “I ran into a bit of trouble.”
It was something that had
happened a long time ago. I glanced at him sideways and couldn’t help but laugh, “What about you?
Why were you left in the primeval forest? Even a tycoon can be abandoned, could it be due to a
kidnapping plot, the kind of open and covert battles among the wealthy that I’m thinking of?” It seemed
that these were the only possibilities I could think of.
He pulled a faint smile, calmly saying, “I have no relatives, no friends, and no one dares to pry into my
things.”
No relatives or friends?
“Was it because of what? Emotional entanglement?” It wasn’t because of interests, I paused slightly
and said, “Or a struggle for power?”
He laughed deeply, setting down the mushroom in his hand, and looked at me, saying, “You have a rich
imagination, but, none of it is true.” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
None of these were it. I hesitated for a few seconds, unsure if it was curiosity or a love for gossip, and
asked, “Could it be for revenge?”
He paused slightly, his movements stiffening a bit, and said, “Perhaps.”
I was a bit dazed, “Possible?”
He nodded, looking at me, his dark eyes almost gloomily deep as he said, “Perhaps she really does
hate me, wishing I were dead.”
Hearing this, I nodded and didn’t ask any more. My curiosity was satisfied at this point. To continue
asking would be impolite.
After eating some food and drinking some water, my stomach finally felt a bit better. Plus, having lit a
fire, my body also warmed up.
Daniel’s complexion had improved quite a bit, I wasn’t sure if it was because he had eaten something,
or because his body had warmed up a bit. Seeing his improved condition, I looked up at the sky, which
was still gray. We didn’t have our phones on us, but he was wearing a rather expensive watch on his
wrist, which at least let us know what time it was.
Around three or four in the afternoon, it was unrealistic for us to continue waiting here. The mountain
had already been sealed off, no one would come into the mountain. If we continued to wait here, we
were afraid we wouldn’t be able to wait for the rescuers. If Daniel’s injury continued to be delayed, it
would cause trouble. Moreover, he had been having a fever all the time, once it got serious, it would be
troublesome.
Thinking of this, I looked at him and asked, “Can you still keep going?”
He seemed to have guessed what I was thinking, nodded slightly, his voice was hoarse, but still
pleasant, “Hmm, let’s go.”
Hearing this, I helped him to stand up.
Just as I was about to continue following my intuition, he suddenly stopped. I looked at him with
suspicion, seeing him looking up at the surrounding trees.
Not understanding what he was doing, I asked, “What’s wrong?”
He didn’t respond to me. After a moment, he pointed in another direction and said, “We’ll go this way.”
I hesitated for a few seconds, not understanding why he changed direction, “Can we get out this way?”
He hummed in agreement, saying lightly, “When we entered the mountain, I looked at the map. The
place where your mother had an accident should not be far from here. If I’m not mistaken, if we keep
going a little further, we should find a place with people.”
I was curious about how he made his judgment. Supporting him, I followed the direction he pointed out,
asking, “How do you know that walking in this direction will lead us to a populated place?” After all,
neither of us had a compass, and we were surrounded by dense forests. I had been relying on my
intuition and had been wandering aimlessly in these woods for a long time.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and said lightly, “This forest is not very large, the terrain features are
quite obvious. You can determine the direction through the branches and leaves of the trees, and the
growth of the vegetation, all can be roughly judged.”
I was confused and asked, “How can this be determined?”
He chuckled, “I’ll teach you later.”
With such a casual response, I stopped talking. Although I was curious, the thought of being able to
leave soon made me excited. However, I suddenly thought of Fang Yicun. Along the way, we had been
leaving marks, but I wasn’t sure if he could find us, or rather…
Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but worry, looking at Daniel and saying, “Sebastian won’t be in trouble,
will he?”
Daniel fell silent for a moment before saying, “No, he’s physically strong. If something happens, he can
definitely save himself.”
Let’s hope so.
Perhaps it was because we had a direction, the road ahead seemed particularly smooth. As we walked
out of the forest and arrived at a series of shrubs, I felt a surge of joy in my heart. I looked at Daniel
and
said. “It seems like we’ve made it out
Daniel nodded slightly, a faint smile on his lips, “As long as it’s not a tall forest, I won’t get lost again.”
