Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 717

"Nicole!"

Because Samuel was holding Nicole's hand, he fell with her.

Samuel turned in the air and took Nicole in his arms. When they landed, Samuel was under Nicole.

Nicole was unharmed. But she panicked as she heard a groan.

"Samuel, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Samuel suppressed the pain and held Nicole to get up.

The place they fell on to looked like a cave, but there was light inside.

"Where are we now? I remembered I was walking with you. It's not a valley. Why did we suddenly fall down?" Nicole said in fear.

Samuel was also a little vigilant and put Nicole behind him.

"Follow me. If anything happens later, just run."

"What are you talking about? How can I leave alone?"

Although Nicole was afraid, she would not leave Samuel behind.

Samuel whispered, "It seems that someone lives here."

"What?"

"Look. It's very clean. It won't be spotless without cleaning."

Nicole got more nervous.

"Let's get out. This place is too gloomy. It's scary."

"Keep quiet. Follow me. We won’t be able to return the same way. We can't climb up, can we?"

Samuel held Nicole's hand tightly. Her hand was covered in sweat.

"It's alright. I'm here."

Samuel's gaze calmed Nicole down.

They walked inside one after the other.

After walking through a path, they saw a larger place.

It looked like a warehouse, but there were beds, instant noodles and bottled water.

Nicole felt relieved.

"There must be people living here. But who would live in a cemetery? It's too terrifying."

Nicole felt goosebumps all over.

Samuel held her and they sat down beside the bed. He then looked at the surroundings.

People here didn’t go out very often, because there were boxes of food. And the garbage was also kept here.

Samuel did not know who was living here. He said in a low voice, "We can only wait here."

"Lucas may get worried. I should give him a call."

Nicole took out her phone, only to find that there was no signal at all.

"What’s wrong?"

"No signal."

Nicole became even more upset.

They didn't know how long they waited, but no one showed up.

Nicole got tired.

Seeing that she was exhausted, Samuel said softly, "You can take a nap. I'll call you if anyone comes."

"I want to watch with you. This place is too gloomy. I can't leave you alone."

"It's fine. Just get some sleep. I will handle it."

Perhaps it was because of Samuel's reassuring gaze, Nicole leaned against his chest and soon fell asleep.

Samuel smiled as he saw Nicole being peaceful in her sleep.

After a while, he smelled something strange.

Samuel was alarmed and immediately held his breath. He wanted to wake Nicole up, but it seemed that Nicole was already affected.

Who was it? Was it someone who lived here?

Samuel wondered. Then he suddenly fainted.

Before long, a man walked in. He seemed to be in his fifties or sixties. Seeing that Nicole and Samuel had fainted, he laughed.

"Young men, it's stupid for you to come to my place."

The man approached them. He stretched out his hand to get something on Samuel. Suddenly, Samuel opened his eyes and grabbed the man's wrist.

"Ouch! Wait! It's broken!"

The man cried out.

Samuel looked at him coldly and said, "What is the smell?"

"What? It's just a kind of medicinal herb that can make you unconscious for a while. Let go! You broke into my place and attacked me. What do you want to do?"

The man howled, but Samuel did not let go of him.

"Give me the antidote!"

"What antidote? A basin of cold water will wake her up."

Samuel narrowed his eyes.

"I said give me the antidote! Otherwise, I'll break your hand."

As he spoke, Samuel pressed harder on the man's hand.

"No! No! I'll give it to you!"

The man screamed in pain, his voice getting high.

Samuel stretched out his hand.
