Chapter 116 In Secret
Finished
This guy was eerily quiet. Anyone unaware of the situation would never have guessed that there was a living person lying on that couch.
Jean closed her eyes. All kinds of thoughts continued swirling in her mind.
According to the plot of the novel, Dominic had wandered through the mountains for two weeks before finally being found and rescued by the search team. So it made perfect sense that the team didn’t find Dominic today–technically, they weren’t supposed to discover him for another two
weeks.
But Jean couldn’t wait that long. If she waited two weeks, Dominic’s leg would be ruined.
She had traveled all the way to Northara through long and exhausting journeys, not just for fun; she came to change fate, to rewrite Dominic’s future. Even though she knew he was still alive and not in immediate danger, she had to find him as soon as possible and treat his leg.
Tomorrow, she couldn’t just sit around anymore. She had to act.
As these chaotic thoughts ran through her mind, sleepiness slowly overtook her, and she drifted
off.
The next morning, the sky was already bright.
When Jean opened her eyes, she saw Ludwig resting straight–backed against the wall. His arms were crossed in front of him, and he leaned lazily against the surface. The teenager was still dressed entirely in black. His jet–black hair made his skin look almost snow–white by contrast.
“You’re up early?” |
Jean’s voice was a little hoarse as she squinted at Ludwig.
The corners of Ludwig’s cold eyes lifted slightly, and he pulled out a faint smile. “I don’t need much sleep.
Jean was bundled up in her pajamas. Since she saw Ludwig as just a kid, sharing a room with him didn’t make her feel awkward.
She walked into the bathroom, changed clothes, washed up, and then returned to the bed to pull out a large bag of food from her suitcase. She had prepared this in advance.
“Let’s skip the hotel restaurant and just fill up here.
Jean spread the food out–cupcakes, sausages, and various snacks–and waved Ludwig over. The boy sat down on the carpet with her, the two of them surrounded by snacks, eating away like two cute little kids, sitting together, happily munching on treats.
“Eat more, Ludwig,” Jean said with a smile, patting his arm. She’d need him to lend some strength
soon.

The boy simply stood there, his expression unreadable.

Jean suddenly felt like she’d upset a child. She quickly got up and walked over to him, reaching out–she ruffled his hair gently, as if comforting a child, or perhaps a proud little cat.
“I’m fine now, Landwig” she said sincerely. “You’ve helped me so much. I should be thanking you, not avoiding you.”
She gave him a small smile. “Ti going to be relying on you again later.”
Then she casually pulled her hand back.
Ludwig’s eyes widened a little, stunned. Jean had already turned away, but the boy instinctively lifted his hand and touched the spot where she’d ruilled his hair. That feeling… wasn’t so bad.
He smiled, his mood inexplicably lifted.
But, the Jean from before never acted like this. She wouldn’t sit on the floor eating snacks with him. She definitely wouldn’t rule his hair.
Could it be… He looked at Jean’s back. Does memory loss really change a person that much?
After that little moment, Jean and Ludwig quietly slipped out of the hotel.
Today’s mission had to be carried out in secret. That meant she wasn’t
Sienna.
anyone–not even
If she told Sienna that she planned to go to the crash site herself to help with the rescue, Sienna would never agree. Even if she did, she would never let Jean go alone. She’d insist on going with
her
That was exactly what Jean didn’t want.
First of all, Dominic’s plane crash wasn’t just an accident; it was orchestrated by someone. Someone who wanted him dead. And that person… was not the type to just sit back and watch
from afar.
Of course not.
So Jean suspected that not only the search and rescue team, but even she and Siema… were being watched by whoever was behind this.
