Chapter 355 A fever
Joe tilted the light from his phone and hid his face in the darkness. "It's just a minor injury."
Although it was only for a moment, Charlotte could clearly see that there was something wrong with his expression. She pursed her lips and said, "Let me have a look."
"I'm really fine." Joe smiled deliberately. "Are you worried about me?"
Charlotte wasn't someone who didn't know what was good for her. Since Joe was willing to take the risk to save her, she wouldn't pretend not to know that he was injured.
"Yes, I'm concerned about you."
Joe didn't expect her to answer so firmly. After a moment of hesitation, he refused, "No need. If Trevor and the police are fast enough, we'll be saved soon."
Seeing his attitude of resistance, Charlotte did not insist.
She looked around and found that the entrance of the cave, which had been full of flowing water before, had collapsed and was completely blocked by rocks. The other end of the cave had also collapsed. They were trapped in the middle of the cave, with no food or water.
"Since they were all loaded with explosives, why didn't he just blow us to death?" Charlotte frowned. She didn't expect that Cowper not only had a gun in his hand, but also had so many explosives. Even the Pope family in the underworld at that time was not as good as him.
Joe leaned against the stone wall at the side and lowered his eyes slightly. "He tried so hard just to torture us to death. To be blasted to death or to be trapped in the cave in despair, which one do you think is more painful?"
At first, Cowper didn't intend to ask for the escape route and dollars. He just used these two reasons to make Joe relax his vigilance.
But he didn't know that as long as Charlotte was in this cave, he would come in to save her no matter what.
Charlotte was silent.
