Chapter 63 The Cave
“Hansen, you b*stard. You only know how to bully women. What kind of man are you? Do you think everyone is as despicable as you?” Jenna was full of anger. If it weren’t for him, how would she have ended up in such a state? He walked away and intentionally left her there. If she didn’t ask for help, she could have really died there. She almost roared.
Hansen had never been yelled at by a woman before. He could not suppress his anger. When he had just walked to the foot of the mountain, he looked back but did not see Jenna. She did not follow him. Looking back, there was only the grass and trees and Jenna was nowhere to be found. He could not help but feel panicked.
When they were going up the mountain, she walked quite fast and even walked in front of him. Therefore, when they were going down the mountain, he was relieved and headed towards the boat hurriedly, thinking that she would definitely catch up. He focused on getting to the boat before dark and did not pay attention to anything behind him. He was worried that it would be dangerous if they went on the boat at night, so he sped up his pace. Only when he reached the foot of the mountain did he realize that Jenna was missing.
He was worried and anxious as he hurried back. He ran around looking for her and when he finally saw her, she was sitting on the ground calling someone on the phone, complaining and wailing. It was obvious that she must be talking on the phone with Rayan. He was so angry that he started cursing her as he grabbed the phone.
“I’m despicable? I didn’t do anything to you,” rage overtook him and he shouted angrily, “You are such a promiscuous woman. Even in this situation, you are still thinking of seducing men and you’re thinking you did nothing wrong!”
Promiscuous! Jenna hated hearing that word the most. That word was humiliating and made her feel uncomfortable. Hansen, you are a dead man!
“B*stard,” Jenna gritted her teeth, picked up her handbag, and threw it at Hansen. As she threw it, she cried, “Hansen, you are so unreasonable. The hatred between us is absolutely irreconcilable.”
Hansen stretched out his hand to block it with a dark face. Jenna picked up the bag and threw it at him again and again.
Jenna thought “Even if you’re so full of yourself, I won’t be afraid of you. If you annoy or humiliate me, I’ll make you pay.”
“You’re crazy, that’s enough,” Hansen grabbed her bag and shouted angrily, “It’s getting dark. Do you want to die here?”
He was so strong that Jenna was dragged along. She could not stand steadily with her injured ankle and she fell to the ground.
“What are you doing?” Just as she was about to fall to the ground, Hansen grabbed her quickly and shouted angrily.
“Ouch!” Although she escaped the fate of falling onto the ground, she twisted her ankle again, which made her scream out in pain.
At that time, the phone in Hansen’s hand began to ring again. If it wasn’t for the fact that it was a limited-edition, diamond-studded phone that he gave her, he would have smashed it against the ground.
He let go of Jenna, but she was unsteady on her feet and fell to the ground. Her buttocks were in pain after she fell on the small rocks on the ground. However, she didn’t care much. She just clutched her ankle with her hand, her face paled.
Only then did Hansen notice that her ankle was injured. He lowered his head and pulled her hand away, he saw that her ankle was swollen and bruised. He finally realized that he had wronged her. He breathed out a sigh of relief and his anger subsided a little.
“What’s the matter?” Although his voice was still very cold, it was not as angry as before. There was also a little warmth, and it was no longer so harsh.
“Go away. It’s none of your business,” Jenna was full of anger and said coldly.
“You’re so stubborn. I’m leaving then. Just wait to be eaten by the wolves,” Hansen snorted, “Don’t think that Rayan can save you. He is already on the other island. Now, we are the only ones left on this island. Don’t be naive. I’m the only one who can save you now. Do you understand? How dare you put on such an attitude.”
“Isn’t this what you want? You had long wanted me dead. So wouldn’t it be better for me to die?” Jenna said sadly and sniffled.
“You d*mned woman, what do you mean? You think I did this on purpose?” Hansen was so agitated by Jenna’s words that he was jumping up and down, “If I wanted to let you die, would I come back? When did you become like this? I don’t understand what you’re thinking about at all. It’s unreasonable.”
Hansen was furious, and Jenna was also upset The two calmed down and no longer confronted each other.
The sky was about to turn dark, and there was only a little faint light left.
“Ah, it seems that we can only sleep in the wilderness tonight. It’s really unlucky to have a woman like you,” Hansen looked around and sighed. The mobile phone kept ringing. He angrily switched it off and threw it into her bag. He bent down to pull her up. After taking a few steps, Jenna’s face was covered with cold sweat. Her feet hurt so much that she could not walk.
“Troublesome,” Hansen muttered and carried her in his arms. He then quickly walked down to the foot of the mountain.
It was completely dark by the time they reached the foot of the mountain. Hansen shook his head as he looked at the hazy sea in the dark.
“Let’s find a place to spend the night,” his voice was helpless.
Jenna sat on a rock at the foot of the mountain, and the sea breeze kept blowing. As night fell, it was getting colder on the island. She took out the jacket from her luggage bag and put it on. Fortunately, it was a tracksuit, so she felt better.
“Why don’t we fire the signal flare?” Jenna proposed timidly as she stared at Hansen, who was staring at the sea in a daze, knowing that she was a burden to him.
“You’re thinking of giving up? Shame on you,” hearing Jenna’s words, Hansen threw a contemptuous look at her.
Jenna did not dare to say anything after hearing his words. She knew that Hansen had always been competitive. No matter what he did, he would not easily admit defeat. If he fired the signal flare, it would mean he had lost. As proud as he was, he would definitely not do such a humiliating thing.
Alas, she was afraid that his reputation would be ruined by her. Jenna shrunk herself and dared not speak again.
“Stay here and don’t move. I’m going to look for a suitable place to spend the night,” Hansen snorted and left.
Although the road at the foot of the mountain had been developed into a concrete road, there were still a lot of worms crawling out when the night fell. The sound of the wind blowing and the trees rustling could be heard clearly in the dead silence environment. The darkness engulfed her slowly as her fear grew. Jenna was cold, hungry, and scared. After Hansen left, she was even more frightened. She only hoped that he would come back soon.
After a long time, she heard footsteps in the dark. When she raised her head, she saw Hansen walking over with joy on his face. She couldn’t help feeling happy in her heart.
“Did you find a place?” Her eyes were full of anticipation.
Jenna looked at him expectantly. Hansen glanced at her, and a sense of satisfaction suddenly rose in his heart. She was relying on him, and his self-esteem rose exponentially along with a sense of righteousness.
“I did find a cave, but it might be cold at night,” Hansen’s pride was satisfied and his voice was surprisingly calm as he regained his manly pride in front of Jenna.
His voice was magnetic, which was pleasing to Jenna’s ears. It turned out that he liked that kind of woman, one who relied on him. However, she never used to be an overbearing woman either!
He was not interested in her anyway.
Hansen walked over and bent down to pick her up and headed for the cave. Jenna felt warmth in his embrace and she no longer felt the cold nor the icy wind. She indulged in the scent that made her swoon and for a moment there was actually a feeling of blissfulness.
She nestled her head in his arms and listened to the sound of his powerful heartbeat quietly. She was convinced that he didn’t mean to bring her there to kill her nor was it some kind of premeditated plan. It was all just a coincidence.
The deep cave was at the foot of the mountain, and some parts within the cave were covered with cement. It looked like there were some plans to develop the cave but it was discontinued. There was a stone table and several stone benches in the cave. The cave was dark and deep. There was a street lamp outside the cave, and the weak light shone into the cave.
“We can only spend the night here,” Hansen saw Jenna snuggled in his arms and somewhat looking at him obsessively. He could not help but smile, “What are you looking at? Don’t you know that I’m that handsome?”
Jenna was awakened by his quip. She came to her senses and blushed as she hurriedly withdrew her gaze and looked around.
Hansen smiled and put her on the stone bench. He opened the bag he carried with him, which contained a first-aid kit with some ointment for bruises. He took a ball of cotton and wet it in the sea outside. He walked back and handed it to Jenna. “Compress it with something cold first and apply the ointment later. You will be fine tomorrow.”
“Thank you,” Jenna whispered and took the cotton ball from his hand and applied it to her ankle. Sure enough, after covering the swollen ankle with the wet cotton ball, the pain subsided. After a while, Hansen handed the first aid kit to her. Jenna applied the ointment on her ankle and felt better.
The next problem was her hunger. Jenna felt that her stomach was all empty. She was so hungry that she was dizzy!
She had been walking for the whole day and she was exhausted and sleepy. Now, she was scared, cold and even more hungry. She could only lie on the stone table, feeling cold and uncomfortable.
“Humph, you’re so spoiled,” Hansen started to be sarcastic again, “Survival in the wild is about training one’s wilderness survival skills, otherwise it would be better to stay at home.”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
“If you are so capable as you say, go out and find something to eat. It’s better than mocking me here,” Jenna looked disdainful and unyielding, “You’re the owner of these islands. Of course, you know there’s a cave here. It’s not a big deal. How could you claim to have survival skills if you can’t even find food?”
“Are you looking down on me?” Hansen frowned, and his tone was a little grim. His face was full of resentment.
Jenna was amused to see him as competitive as a child. She couldn’t help but laugh in her heart. She covered her mouth in the darkness, held back her laughter, and said nothing.
She lay on the stone table and felt bored as Hansen went out again.
After a while, seeing that he hadn’t returned, she was a little anxious.
It was pitch black outside. He was not really looking for food in the dark, was he? There could be danger in the mountains. Thinking of that, she was worried and she regretted provoking him just now.
After a long while, just as Jenna was becoming very anxious, she heard footsteps again. She was delighted to see the street lamp at the entrance of the cave dimmed and a fishy smell wafting into her nostrils. Hansen was walking in with something in his hand. She took a closer look and her eyes lit up.
