Chapter 283 Sebastian Got Lost 

He was a man on the Freyhedge rich list, presumably having lived a life of luxury for half his life. Not to mention enduring such hardship, even injuries, he might never have experienced before. 

His face was somewhat calm as he looked at me and said in a low voice, “This sin, it’s not a sin. I’ve been through things a hundred times worse and more desperate. Don’t be afraid, we can overcome this minor difficulty.” 

Instead, he was the one who comforted me. I smiled, nodded along with his words, walked to the entrance of the cave, and began to move the stones. After all, as long as one is determined, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome. 

The exit we left through, I managed to create an outlet. Although it wasn’t as spacious as when we came in, it was enough for us to get out. 

The sky outside had already brightened, after a whole night of rain, the wind outside was cold. From the cave entrance, not much could be seen. I was somewhat excited, turning back to Daniel with a smile, “We can go out now.” 

He looked at me and smiled, his eyes somewhat deep and somewhat light. Perhaps it was due to the darkness in the cave, I always felt that when he looked at me, there was something in his dark eyes that I couldn’t understand. Of course, it was definitely not some inexplicable feelings between men and women, it seemed like something else. 

Without further thought, I reached out to help him, but he didn’t reach back, instead his dark eyes fell on my hand. 

I hesitated for a few seconds, following his gaze, only to see the blood 

stains mottled in the palm of my hand, which looked somewhat 

chilling. It was from moving these stones earlier. I was so focused on getting out that I only noticed the pain, thinking I had just scraped the skin, not expecting it to bleed. 

Seeing this, I hurriedly tried to withdraw my hand, to wipe off the blood, but was suddenly held by him. He looked at the wound on my hand, then at me, and asked, “Does it hurt?” 

I paused for a moment, feeling that if two people were to discuss such trivial matters at this time, it would indeed be a bit pretentious. 

He looked at him and said, “It hurts a bit, but I can handle it. Let’s go, we should leave first.” 

He paused slightly, giving a somewhat helpless smile. He then extended his hand to support me as we left the cave. 

Looking at everything outside, both Daniel and I were stunned. The scene outside at that moment seemed like a different world from what we had seen last night. 

Such a vast forest was almost entirely covered by mud, even our car was nowhere to be found. At a glance, it was almost desolate in front of us. 

“Debris flow!” That was the only thing I could think of. This cave, due to its high location and surrounded by large boulders, was spared when the massive debris flow swept past. Therefore, when the debris flow occurred just now, it only shook for a while, and the cave was not affected much. 

The vast expanse of forest around us was almost entirely covered. Daniel and I withdrew our gaze, suddenly remembering Sebastian. At the time of the accident, he had gone nearby to gather firewood. 

My heart suddenly jolted, not allowing me to think further. I had a 

sudden bad premonition, my body instantly feeling a few degrees colder. I glanced at Daniel and said, “Sebastian has been out for so long, could something have happened to him?” 

Daniel pursed his lips, without uttering a word. 

The forest we were looking at was almost completely covered. If Sebastian happened to be in the forest when the incident occurred, there would have been no time to hide… 

Thinking of this, my heart sank even more. 

Still holding onto a glimmer of hope, I shouted towards the vast, obscured forest, “Sebastian!” 

The only response to me was a faint echo, neither deep nor distant.
