Chapter 297 No!
Antony''s eyes flew open at the sound of gunfire.
"ire!"
He immediately called out for ire as memories of what happened before he lost consciousness came rushing back. ire had been severely injured, and he''d tried to save her, but they both ended up falling from the tree and passing out. "Shit!" He hissed in pain as his movement pulled at his wounds, drawing in a sharp breath.
Relief washed over him when he spotted ire lying beside him.
Antony let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Only then did he notice that both his and ire''s wounds had been cleaned and bandaged.
Someone must have rescued them.
Looking around, he saw they were in a thatched hut. Though the facilities were basic, everything appeared clean and orderly.
It reminded him of how primitive people might live.
Yet the bandages and medicine they''d been treated with suggested modern medical knowledge,

drugs, antibiotics, and even slow-release ibuprofen capsules. It was definitely not primitive. Everything they might need was there. But this thatched hut...
Lost in thought, Antony noticed an older man walking in.
"You''re awake! Let me check if you have a fever."
He crouched down beside Antony and ced his hand on his forehead.
"Leon, is that you?" Antony''s face lit up with joy at the sight of him.
He couldn''t believe it was Leon who had saved ire at Moon
Lake.
"Hmm, no fever. Looks like my treatment was timely."Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.
Leon rxed after confirming Antony had no fever or infection.
"How did you end up here?" Antony asked.
Leon smiled, "This is my home. My grandfather raised me here. Ie back every now and then..."
To Antony, everything still felt like a dream.
He had been convinced that he and ire had died at the
bottom of the cliff.
He pinched his thigh hard, and the sharp pain convinced him
condition.
"Her injuries are a bit more severe than yours. Fortunately, when I came here this year, my grandson was worried and sent several people with me, including professional doctors.
"The doctor has examined her. Though you both sustained multiple injuries, none are too deep or severe. When you fell from the cliff, the trees broke your fall, preventing any concussions or head trauma.
"It''s a blessing in disguise. Her worst injury is where the branch pierced her, but that''s been treated too. Don''t worry, she''ll be fine. Barring anyplications, she should wake up tomorrow." Antony felt relieved hearing Leon''s words.
However, Antony couldn''t fully rx while ire remained
unconscious.
That night, Antony fought against his exhaustion and didn''t close his eyes once, keeping constant watch over ire.
It wasn''t until dawn approached the next day that he finally sumbed to sleep, unable to fight it any longer.
After all, he had also sustained severe injuries.
In his sleep, Antony dreamed that ire had awakened.
"ire, you''re finally awake!"
Chapter 297 No!
He called out excitedly and jolted awake.
But when he opened his eyes, he found ire still lying there unconscious.
""ire! ire!"
Anxious, he called out to her softly, hoping she might hear him.
But after just a couple of calls, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door.
""Is anyone there?"
Antony immediately recognized Caroline''s voice.
His face turned ghostly pale!
He quickly got up, intending to tell Leon that they absolutely must not let Caroline know they had rescued the two of them.
But just as he rose, Leon had already walked out from another room in the courtyard. "Miss, how may I help you?" Antony''s heart sank.
Leon had no idea that Caroline was the one who pushed them off- the cliff. If he told her...
No!
