His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 313

"She's not fucking dead, right?" the man cursed.

His fellow mercenary, who had been standing nearby, frowned. "Seriously? We said to clean her up, not kill her, and this is what you did?"

The man who had jumped in after Jacqueline replied through chattering teeth, "You should've smelled her from the start, alright? She stank. I couldn't take it, so I took it upon myself to dunk her in the sea.

"How was I supposed to know that the damn woman couldn't swim? Talk about useless. I can't believe I had to jump in after her. Fuck, I'm freezing. Get her to a doctor and make sure she doesn't die. I'm going to change out of my clothes."

"Fine. Hurry it up. Boss is going to blow if you're not here when he shows up."

"Yeah, I got it."

It took three hours before Jacqueline finally showed signs of consciousness.

As her awareness gradually sharpened, she took the time to examine her surroundings.

She was confined to a small, dark room that was very similar to the room back on the ship.

She could feel that they were on the move and deduced that she was probably stuffed in a car. Judging by her current predicament, it was likely that she was in the back of a large truck.

She was still wearing her drenched clothes. However, she now had a thick blanket wrapped around her. It seemed that her captors were worried that she'd die of hypothermia.

Jacqueline tightened her grip around the blanket, wrapping her arms around herself. Her shoulders shook with her silent sobs.

She had had a miserable journey.

She looked nothing like a pampered heiress. Even though she wasn't given a mirror, she could already tell that she looked no different from homeless beggars living on the streets.

She whimpered into her knees, crying. When she grew tired, she leaned against the truck's metal wall to rest.

Although she now had an actual blanket around her, her sopping wet clothes still chilled her to the bone. It was so cold that she couldn't stop shivering. It was as though she wasn't in a truck but in a frozen cavern.

Jacqueline had a feeling that the truck was heading to Rivertown, which meant she'd be able to see Stephen in a couple of hours.
