Chapter 800: Chapter 828: Jungle Escape (2)
"Have a good sleep, I’ll call you early tomorrow morning."
Lucas was about to leave the tent when Sienna called him, "Where are you going?"
"I’ll just be outside keeping watch, not going far, so you can sleep soundly." Lucas thought she was scared and explained.
"The tent isn’t big, but we can squeeze and sleep. Don’t sleep outside, there are so many mosquitoes, who knows if there are poisonous snakes. You definitely won’t rest well out there. We have to hurry on our journey tomorrow."
"I’m a married man now!"
If it weren’t for Lucas’s serious face, Sienna would have thought this man was making a cold joke.
"Lucas, you don’t think that me, a pregnant woman, would force myself on you, do you?"
"..."
"Put your mind at ease, Kiki and I are best friends. Even if I loved you to death, I wouldn’t make a move on you. You can completely trust me."
"I’m sleeping outside!" Lucas stubbornly said.
Sienna wasn’t someone who fussed over small matters. At this point, Lucas was her support; without him, it would be impossible for her, a pregnant woman, to walk out of the endless jungle.
She could see Lucas was very tired too; with four days left, if he didn’t rest well, how could they continue on the journey?
"Lucas, do you believe that once we return, I can make your wife sleep in a separate room from you?"
Lucas gritted his teeth and said, "Do you believe that I could leave you here to fend for yourself?"
"I don’t believe it!" Sienna cunningly replied, holding Kiki as her trump card, "If I can’t make it back and you return alone, how would Kiki see you?"
"Go to sleep!" Lucas curled up, staying far away from Sienna, as if she would really take advantage of him.
Indeed, married men are different.
Sienna stopped joking with him and turned her back to sleep.
There wasn’t any light around; fortunately, with Lucas there, Sienna felt at ease. She was so tired, having barely slept last night, that she fell asleep almost instantly upon lying down.
Hearing the shallow and even breathing, Lucas knew she was asleep, but he didn’t sleep. He stayed alert, listening to the sounds around them, so he could detect any danger at the first moment.
Lucas missed Kiki and the child; if it weren’t for Kiki’s tears and refusal to eat properly, he wouldn’t have wanted to come.
This woman was just a bundle of trouble.
In the middle of the night, Sienna suddenly screamed. Lucas, who was lightly sleeping, quickly sat up and found she was having a nightmare.
"Madam... Madam..."
But Sienna was deeply trapped in the nightmare and couldn’t wake up. Lucas shouted at her loudly and shook her, taking quite some time to wake her up.
Sienna opened her eyes suddenly, still in shock.
Lucas said, "Madam, you had a nightmare."
Frightened into a cold sweat, Sienna said to Lucas, "Lucas, I’d like some water."
Lucas took a bottle of mineral water from his bag for her. Sienna dared not drink too much; she took a sip to moisten her throat and put it away.
"Are you okay?"
Sienna smiled lightly, "People really shouldn’t do bad things. Just look, dream nightmares."
Sienna had dreamt of Xavier, Xavier came to demand her life. Xavier was holding her newborn son and jumped into the sea, then disappeared.
"This isn’t Sileria City; you don’t need to bind yourself by the survival rules there. Surviving here is what’s most important."
"Lucas, I want to go back to my original world."
"We’ll be able to go back soon."
"Hmm."
...
Perhaps due to her childhood experiences, Sienna was someone who knew how to find joy amidst suffering.
With no other choice, her life was full of twists and turns since childhood; if she weren’t a bit more optimistic, it would be impossible to get by.
She learned wilderness survival with Lucas, whistled to tease birds, and found various topics to chat about with the sulky Lucas.
"Lucas, what is your favorite part of Kiki’s body?"
"..."
"Lucas, do you prefer the boy or girl in Kiki’s belly?"
"..."
"...Lucas, do you know who Kiki’s first love was?"
"Who?" Lucas, who’d been rejecting communication, finally spoke, but Sienna fell silent.
Holding an unknown wildflower, she whistled to tease the dumb bird in the tree, and surprisingly, the dumb bird replied.
"Who was Kiki’s first love?"
"You want to know?"
Sienna looked at Lucas’s dark face and giggled, "You want to know, but I’m not telling you."
Lucas held a straight face, sped up, and ignored Sienna while Sienna whistled and teased the dumb bird in the tree.
"Hey, this bird keeps following me; might it have fallen in love with me?"
Lucas: ...
Later, Sienna possibly got tired; she walked silently, didn’t say she was tired. It has to be said, Sienna is really tough.
Lucas felt a bit of sympathy and proactively spoke to her, "So what do you like about Adrian?"
"He’s handsome!"
Lucas: ...
Sienna’s forehead was sweaty; looking at Lucas’s expression, she knew what he was thinking, "Do you think I’m shallow?"
"Yes!"
"Hypocrite!"
"I like Kiki not because she’s pretty," Lucas said.
"You’re lying. If Kiki were short, fat, and dark, would you still like her? Don’t tell me you like Kiki’s gentleness and kindness; Kathryn’s cousin is also gentle and kind, why don’t you like her?"
"..."
"If I were ugly, do you think that jerk Adrian would notice me? He even said if I weren’t pretty, he would’ve tossed me back to the sea long ago. ...
See, Adrian is just that kind of jerk!
Domineering, selfish, shallow, without sympathy, arrogant, narcissistic..."
