NovelEnglishChapter 355 A fever
Joe tilted the light from his phone and hid his face in the darkness. “It’s just a minor injury.”
Although it was only for a moment, Charlotte could clearly see that there was something wrong with his
expression. She pursed her lips and said, “Let me have a look.”
“I’m really fine.” Joe smiled deliberately. “Are you worried about me?”
Charlotte wasn’t someone who didn’t know what was good for her. Since Joe was willing to take the
risk to save her, she wouldn’t pretend not to know that he was injured.
“Yes, I’m concerned about you.”
Joe didn’t expect her to answer so firmly. After a moment of hesitation, he refused, “No need. If Trevor
and the police are fast enough, we’ll be saved soon.”
Seeing his attitude of resistance, Charlotte did not insist.

before, had collapsed and was completely blocked by rocks. The other end of the cave had also
collapsed. They were trapped in the middle of the cave, with no food or water.
“Since they were all loaded with explosives, why didn’t he just blow us to death?” Charlotte frowned.
She didn’t expect that Cowper not only had a gun in his hand, but also had so many explosives. Even
the Pope family in the underworld at that time was not as good as him.
Joe leaned against the stone wall at the side and lowered his eyes slightly. “He tried so hard just to
torture us to death. To be blasted to death or to be trapped in the cave in despair, which one do you
think is more painful?”
At first, Cowper didn’t intend to ask for the escape route and dollars. He just used these two reasons to
make Joe relax his vigilance.
But he didn’t know that as long as Charlotte was in this cave, he would come in to save her no matter
what.
Charlotte was silent.
Right now, their range of activity was only two to three square meters. Both ends were blocked by
rocks. It would take an unknown amount of time to clear them out. Even if reinforcements were to be
organized immediately outside, it would be very difficult.
Charlotte struggled to stand up while calculating in her heart.
She walked toward the entrance of the waterfall. The sound of running water had disappeared at this
time. She carefully rummaged through it and found that there were only drops of water dripping from
under a rock from time to time, which could barely be used as drinkable water.
“I hope we can wait for rescue before we starve to death,” Charlotte said lightly, but she did not hear
Joe’s response.
She frowned and walked quickly in his direction.

found that his forehead was hot and he had a fever.
“I knew your wound was bad.” Charlotte sighed heavily and struggled to hug Joe’s waist. He seemed to
still have some consciousness and suddenly reached out to grab her wrist.
Charlotte was in pain. “Joe, it’s me! Let me take a look at your wound.”
Joe struggled to open his eyes and looked at her with misty eyes. “Charlotte?”
Charlotte answered.
He curled his lips and suddenly muttered, “I’m sorry.”
Charlotte’s hand suddenly froze, and a sourness rushed to the tip of her nose, making her eyes red.
At this time, Joe had already fallen asleep, but he obediently loosened his grip.
Charlotte couldn’t care less. She used all her strength to turn Joe’s body sideways. Only then did she
see his badly mutilated back. It should have been caused by the impact of the explosion when he held
her tightly in his arms. His back was injured by the falling rocks, which looked very terrifying.
