Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2336

Immediately, Jasper grabbed her wrist and pulled her over. Willow’s face was pale from the shock, and she looked at the pit beneath her. Soon, she noticed something unusual. “Wait, this pit doesn’t seem natural, it looks man- made.”

After all, how could a perfectly round pit form on this deserted island? Thus, she crouched down and studied the pit, taking photos from various angles with the camera and using a ruler to measure it. As Jasper watched her work, his eyes were filled with adoration.

“Hand me a shovel.” She reached her hand toward him. “I’ll do it. Where do you want me to dig?” “No, I just want to see the soil underneath,” Willow explained. Jasper handed the shovel to her. Then, Willow crouched down and scooped up a spoonful of soil. After examining it from side to side, she concluded, “There should be an ancient tomb nearby.”

“Why is that so?” Willow put down the shovel and walked several feet away, separating the high grass. When she lowered her head, she knew she had guessed it right. There was a pair of symmetrically. matching circular pits, likely where the tombstones were once placed. However, the wooden structures had disappeared, leaving behind two stone pits excavated long ago.

Realizing this, Willow turned toward Jasper and said excitedly, “My mentor once said that this is a form of ancient tomb burial. When people were away from home and couldn’t provide proper burial conditions, they would create two simple tombstones to show respect for the dead. Someone with a high status must be buried here, perhaps a prominent official or a noble. We may have discovered something!”

As she spoke, she hugged Jasper. At the same time, Jasper extended his arms and embraced her. After Willow laughed while being in his embrace for a few seconds, she blushed and said awkwardly, “I… I got too excited. Could you put me down?”
