Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1040

Even though Olivia was very familiar with the terrain, she had set out in such a hurry that she didn't bring all the necessary equipment. There was no signal in the mountains either.

She was now stuck between a rock and a hard place. She could not turn back now.

The rocks were slippery, and she slid downward countless times. Fortunately, she was experienced enough that she could grab onto some branches along the way when she was falling.

Because of the forceful tugging, her hands were covered in blood. It was a terrifying sight.

It truly wasn't her day today. She kept encountering misfortunes one after the other.

Standing on a small tree, Olivia paused and took a few breaths. She opened her palms and glanced at her gruesome hands. Of course, it hurt a lot, but she didn't have time to lament it.

Her top priority was to get down the cliff and locate Ethan.

The longer the time passed, the further she would be from Ethan. The forest was quite complicated, after all. They were in a place where they had no way of contacting each other.

Other than a dagger and a gun, Olivia didn't have any supplies.

She realized that she was more worried about Ethan than she imagined.

People often didn't mean what they said. She claimed to hate him, but she was worried about him more than anyone else.

She didn't even bring proper equipment before departing, which was already a huge mistake.

Gritting her teeth, Olivia continued her journey. Even though there were a few minor episodes along the way, there was, fortunately, a very long vine in the last stretch of her journey. It allowed her to land safely.

As the storm poured, the ancient forest looked extra creepy.

When it was sunny, the sunlight above her would be blocked. Now that it was raining, the place was even darker.

If the sun was out, she would still be able to figure out the direction based on the shadow cast by the trees. But now, Olivia was in a terrible situation.

Logically speaking, she should find refuge in places like these as soon as possible. After the rain, the temperature in the valley would lower. Without dry clothes, her body would quickly lose heat.

If she encountered some creepy crawlies that bit her, she would be done for.

But Olivia was still worried about Ethan, so she couldn't be bothered to rest.

Ethan started two hours earlier than her, so when he landed, it hadn't rained yet. The rain had washed away all traces of him.

Olivia stood under the shade of the trees. Her body was already drenched a long time ago. She stared at the various vegetation, stunned. For some reason, she felt wronged.

What was she doing? Why would she place herself in such a situation?
