NovelEnglishAt this moment, Willow's mind went completely blank. Just then, a strong light shone in, and she shrank into the
darkness like a kitten being caught. However, when she heard a deep, familiar voice coming from the mouth of
the grotto, her tears finally stopped.
“Cover here.” She crawled toward the mouth of the grotto The moment she got out of the grotto and saw
Jasper’s face, she threw herself into his arms, holding him tightly around the neck despite her tear-stained face.
For a few seconds, Jasper froze in her sudden embrace, only to be stunned again when he felt her tears on his
neck. She must've been scared out of her wits, he thought. Nevertheless, he pushed her away. “Cwith me,”
he said, leading her by the hand before suddenly covering her eyes with his other hand. “Don’t look around.”
Although Willow couldn’t see anything with his hand over her eyes, she could smell blood in the air. Swallowing
nervously, she followed him out of the house.

As they breathed in the fresh air outside, the man’s large hand moved away from her eyes. Still, she struggled to
open her eyes in the evening sun. After all, she had just spent nearly 20 minutes in complete darkness.
It was only 20 minutes, but it felt as long as half a century to her. Before she cto her senses, a muscular
arm suddenly wrapped around her shoulders and pulled her into a car next to them. The man also thoughtfully
fastened her seatbelt for her.
“Where are we going?” she asked. “This place isn’t safe anymore. We have to go somewhere else.” Jasper had to
get her out of here. Seems like our internal system has been hacked into, which means that all the safe houses
in this country have been exposed. We must choose somewhere else next.
“But where else can we go?” Willow had never imagined that she would find herself in such a dangerous place
one day.
“Just follow me,” said Jasper before he drove out of an alley into the main street. Soon after that, he drove into an
affluent neighborhood. Willow had no idea what he was trying to find, but he soon found what he was looking for:
a camper van.
Seeing his eyes fixed on the camper van, Willow immediately had a bad feeling. This guy’s gonna steal a car
again. “Wait here for a minute. Just as she expected, Jasper opened the car door and got out.
She watched him walk toward the camper van before noticing that he was holding something in his hand that
looked like a sensor. Then, to her surprise, the camper van actually started up. Seeing him drive it over to her,
she decided not to waste his time. Well, extrtimes call for extrmeasures. If the camper van’s owner
comes after us for this, I'll have Dad recompense them doubly afterward.

Jasper drove the camper van sdistance away before pulling over to the side of the road. Then, taking his
laptop out of his backpack, he expertly keyed something into a program. Willow couldn't make head or tail of
what she saw, but she thought the man looked kind of handsome, as though he was capable of anything. “What
are you doing?”
“Turning off the camper van’s internal tracking system,” replied the man with a tap on the keyboard. With that,
the program quickly finished running, though there were other programs still running on his laptop.
It looks cool, though I don’t understand any of these, thought Willow. An involuntary smile curved her lips as she
turned to look at the man beside her. Despite the numerous dangerous situations she had been in while being
with him, this guy actually gave her a feeling of absolute security.
“Go check if there's any food in the back,” said. Jasper to her. Unfastening her seatbelt, Willow opened the small
door to the back trailer. After opening the fridge, she found it stuffed with water and food enough to last both of
them a week. “The fridge is stuffed with food. Seems like this family was ready to go on a trip.” What's more,
this whole camper van is a mobile home, making it convenient for us to hide.
