Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2029

Memories from a distant past surged from the depths of Estelle’s heart, and she remembered the two days and nights they spent buried in an underground lab. She had been injured, and as time slipped away, her consciousness began to fade.

On that final night, Jonathan held her tight in his arms, and when she could no longer swallow, he melted chocolate on his lips and fed it to her, murmuring the words that seemed to echo through time.

"Stay strong, Estelle. I'll be with you, always."

Years had passed since then, but hearing those words again, although her state of mind had entirely changed, still gave her immeasurable strength!

That power helped her break through the darkness and the demons in her mind, waking up time and again, bravely facing reality.

She never blamed fate; on the contrary, she felt that God treated her very favorably.

After enduring many hardships, she also received many surprises!

And Jonathan, he was an extraordinary gift from above!

Estelle bowed her head slightly, her clear eyes filled with tenderness and resilience, her lips unconsciously curving into a smile as she grasped Jonathan's broad palm firmly.

He cleared the path of thorns ahead, and she followed closely in his steps. At that moment, she suddenly wanted to be that little girl again, just to follow him.

Where there were thorns, Jonathan led the way. Where the ground was smooth, they walked side by side, hands clasped together, never parting.

The sun was setting, casting deepening shadows in the forest. Birdsong echoed through the trees, adding a chilling solitude to the atmosphere.

Helicopters constantly flew overhead, some belonging to Jonathan's people, others to Raiden's.

Both parties were searching for the two of them.

As time moved on, the magnetic field in the forest shifted, and Jonathan could no longer pinpoint his location with his men.

And now wasn't the time for contact; Raiden's people were watching closely.

Raiden, ignoring the commands of Triceratops, disregarding the years and the fortunes spent on developing cobalt bombs, was determined to have a showdown with Estelle in Zion!

"I love you, my darling!"

Estelle closed her eyes briefly, then turned and leapt away, climbing up a nearby tall tree.

Jonathan and his two men also ascended the surrounding trees, like leopards waiting to pounce on their prey, hidden among the branches, guns ready, waiting for the enemy to draw near.

Shadows emerged deep in the forest, converging on their hiding spot from all sides—hundred meters, fifty meters, thirty meters...

As these figures entered their line of sight, Jonathan's expression became serious.

The guards had brought hunting dogs!

Estelle had always been afraid of dogs!

He turned his head sharply towards where Estelle was hidden.
