Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 267

Unable to imagine the sort of things they had to go through, I started trembling in fear. Afraid of the things awaiting them, I urged, “Christopher, that’s enough!”

He caressed my cheeks and added in a gentle tone, “Just listen to me, okay?”

Staring at me in the eyes, he carried on, saying seriously, “Initially, we were against the idea. However, we didn’t have much of an option as we had finished everything available for consumption. At that point in time, we merely had our guns to defend ourselves from our aggressive foes.”

After pausing for a few seconds, he added, “In the evening, Sean returned with a chunk of meat after returning from a stroll. He told us he was lucky and found a rabbit in the woods. Immediately after he made something out of it, he asked us to finish our meal as soon as possible.”

There was no way Sean could have gotten his hands on a rabbit! It must have been a chunk of human flesh! I need to resist the urge to retch!

“I beat Sean up with all my might the next day. Instead of retaliating against me, he allowed me to beat him up to a pulp. When I collapsed to the ground, he started treating my wounds with his eyes brimming with tears. He told us he couldn’t bear to leave his mother alone. On top of that, he couldn’t bear to leave his comrades to death.”

Christopher had a small smile on his lips whenever he mentioned anything about up Sean. That told me a lot about how he felt; he obviously missed the mischievous friend of his a lot. “In the end, we were

able to last until the day we were rescued because of the mysterious chunks of meats Sean brought us. Don’t you think he’s quite a smart man?”

“Mmm!” Instead of bringing up something else, I responded with a nod as I couldn’t bring myself to carry on with the conversation.

Sighing, Christopher grunted, “I wonder if I’ll ever get to see Sean again! I can’t believe that fool has disappeared into thin air halfway through his mission! To make things worse, he has lost the target! I’ll have to teach him a lesson when we’re back!”

Gritting my teeth, I assured him with a determined look, “I’m sure we’ll make it back soon!” Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’m sure the day will come. However, if you can’t get anything to eat within the next few days, just—”

“That’s enough!” Aware of the things he was up to, I stopped him from convincing me to resort to cannibalism as a countermeasure. “You’re not going to die! I will stop you from dying at all costs! Christopher, don’t you dare leave me alone! Otherwise, I’ll start hanging out with another man and have an affair with him! Since you’re no longer here to keep me company, I’ll get them to take care of me instead!”

Christopher’s expression immediately darkened when he heard me. He resisted the racking sensation in his body and brought himself up, warning me with his brows furrowed, “No! You’re not allowed to give up on yourself!”

I glared at him in the eyes, but I was at a loss for words to reprimand the heavily injured man in front of me. In the end, I stuffed the abalone into his mouth. “Since you’re feeling great today, hurry up and

finish this!”

“Y-Yvonne—” He was about to say something else, but I managed to stop him in the nick of time. He had no choice but to finish the abalone as instructed. I shoved the food into his mouth and found him adorable due to his puffed cheeks.

Christopher, who was in bad shape, was no longer his handsome self. He now sported a pale and haggard look — long gone was his mischievous and vicious smirk. Nonetheless, he was the one and only I had in mind.

“Eve, you need to stop fooling around and listen to me!” The man let out a deep, throaty cough right after speaking.
