NovelEnglishAn average person wouldn't be able to climb so far up such a tall tree, much less with a person on their back. Tremaine didn't reply.
Climbing this tree wasn't much of a challenge for him. He had gone through much worse from his field training. "Get ssleep," Tremaine said, "We should rest now," Yesseca could only keep quiet.
Sleep on this big tree? Tremaine had to be joking.
Tremaine had already switched off the light on his phone, so he couldn't see Yesseca's face at all. If he did, he would have noticed that Yesseca's face was as dark as the night sky right now. "What if we fall off the tree? If we went to sleep, we'd definitely fall and die!" Yesseca added.
"Sleep in my arms, then you won't fall." Yesseca blushed bright red. "No!" "Up to you," Tremaine said casually, "You don't have much of a choice right now," Just as he finished talking, a loud howl rang out from somewhere within the forest.
Yesseca was so scared that she nearly fell off the tree. Luckily, Tremaine held onto her hand.
Tremaine said coldly, "You'll hear that very often in the forest at night. You won't notice them if you're asleep. All you need to do is sleep in my arms, and then it'll be morning before you know it," Yesseca's lips trembled.
Tremaine was right. She didn't have much of a choice right now.
She was terrified.
Not only was she high up on a tree, there were animals howling out there and it was so dark she couldn't see anything in front of her.
She was very eager to fall asleep and see the sunrise.
Yesseca finally got into Tremaine's arms. "Alright, I'll sleep in your arms. You won't fall, will you?" "No, I won't." Tremaine said curtly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf anyone else said this, she wouldn't have trusted them, but when Tremaine said it, Yesseca believed him completely.
If he said he wouldn't fall, then he definitely won't.
Yesseca closed her eyes.
The whole experience she went through today kept replaying in her mind like a movie. She was still confused as to what was going on.
She forced herself to stop thinking about it.
She then tried to go to sleep as soon as possible. Everything would be fine when you fall asleep. Things will be okay when the sun rises tomorrow. Yesseca slept in Tremaine's arms, but he didn't get any sleep. He closed his eyes, but was completely alert.
An hour later, he heard footsteps coming from far away.
He immediately opened his eyes.
He heard the cracking of branches snapping just below him.
He was very high up the tree. He heard someone say. "Find him and kill him." A cold glint flashed across Tremaine's eyes.
It was an order to kill him on sight.
He was certain that someone was out to get him. However, since he had earned such a strong foundation in the trust of the public, it was impossible to shake him off. That was probably why his opponent wanted him dead. However...
The chill in his eyes grew deeper.
Since his opponent had the information to set up an ambush against him, it could only mean one thing. There was a spy in his organization.
As Tremaine had expected, the soldiers looking for him were unable to find him after searching for stime. They left, unsuccessful once again. Tremaine closed his eyes again.
He had to rest up to tackle the challenges he'd have to face tomorrow.
That night, Yesseca had a nightmare.
She dreamed of a wolf and a bear.
When numerous wolves and bears chased after her, Tremaine held her hand and ran with her. She suddenly couldn't run anymore.
As desperate as she was to get away, she couldn't move her legs at all. She was terrified at the thought of getting eaten.
Then, a wolf appeared and lunged at her with its mouth wide open.
Yesseca woke up in a cold sweat.
It was daybreak.
She looked up and looked at Tremaine's handsface.
He was still fast asleep.
Yesseca tried to move her body.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTremaine was tightly holding on to her and noticed her moving.
He opened his eyes.
"You're awake," he said.
What a strange man.
Everyone woke up feeling slightly groggy and sleepy, but he got up looking fresh and alert.
Yesseca trembled as she looked down. "Can...
Can we get down now?" Tremaine looked at her and said blandly, "Yeah, sure," Yesseca climbed onto his back again. Tremaine then climbed down the tree with ease.
This time, Yesseca was able to see him climb down the tree clearly.
He moved nimbly and very quickly.
They soon reached the ground and Yesseca jumped off Tremaine's back.
"Let's get out of the forest, right now." Yesseca didn't want to spend another second here.
"You think you have the strength to leave?" Tremaine looked at Yesseca.
"Why not?" As she said that, Yesseca took a single step forward. Her legs turned into jelly, causing her to fall.
She had no strength at all.
Her stomach was growling.
"Wait here, I'll be right back," Tremaine told her.
Last night, he had dragged Yesseca into the middle of the forest to escape from a life or death situation.
