qDanrique removed Francesca's clothes and got rid of the ants and rats on her body. Subsequently, he wrapped her up with his jacket and carried her petite figure out of the cave.
At that very moment, Francesca was feeling woozy, and her head throbbed with pain. A pungent stench of blood from her neck slowly filled the air.
As they exited the cave, they were greeted by a gust of cold wind. It sobered Francesca up a little.
She clenched Danrique's collar and muttered weakly, “My backpack and passport... They're left in the wooden house...”
“I got them.”
As he spoke, a jeep pulled over on the slope and picked both of them up.
Kate treated Francesca's wounds and bandaged them accordingly. Afterward, the jeep drove them down.
The sun was already breaking through the horizon by the time they got to the foot of the mountain.
The morning twilight was as refreshing as a beacon of hope.
Lowering his head to gaze at Francesca who was sleeping soundly in his arms, Danrique had never been so delighted before.
When she's not fussing, she's like a docile and obedient child.

“Mr. Lindberg!” Sloan called out anxiously as a thought occurred to him all of a sudden. “Dr. Felch hurt the back of her head before. If I'm not mistaken, it was quite serious. I wonder if her new wounds would trigger her old injury.”
Sean recalled something upon hearing that. “Oh, that's right. I remember seeing the X-ray images. Back then, Dr. Wright did a check-up on her and discovered multiple metal chips pressing on the nerves of her brain. As a result, she lost her memory.”
“If that's the case, it's going to be a challenge.” Kate added, “Let's do a scan on Ms. Cece as soon as we get to the hospital.”
“Notify M Nation to call upon Helen now,” Danrique instructed decisively. “Arrange for the hospital to perform a thorough check-up and follow-up treatment.”
“Noted.” Immediately, Kate made a phone call to convey the order.
