Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1224

Chapter 1224 The Stunning Truth

“Is this some sort of ice cave or something? Why is it so cold?” Edmund couldn’t help but grumble as he shivered as well.

The two of them made their way through the cave rather quickly with the help of the flashlight.

They discovered that, contrary to the last two caves, this particular tunnel was much smaller. In fact, they were able to touch both sides of the tunnel walls just by stretching out their arms.

The tunnel only began to open up the further Sasha and Edmund walked in.

They eventually realized that the tunnel was completely empty, unlike the previous two, which had been filled with various items.

“Could we have made a mistake?” Edmund asked, mildly disappointed at their lack of a discovery.

Patiently, Sasha replied, “Let’s not give up so soon. We can still keep looking around.”

She continued walking deeper into the tunnel with the help of the flashlight.

They kept on walking until they reached what seemed to be the center of the tunnel they were in and bumped into something completely unimaginable—crystal clear blocks of ice.

Is this all actual ice? Both of them wondered as they stared in awe.

After a few seconds of marveling at the sight before them, Edmund finally walked forward to touch the transparent, crystal-like formations.

It was, without a doubt, blocks after blocks of pure ice.

“It really is ice. Are they insane? Why did they even feel the need to have such a huge ice cellar? It’s not like Jadeborough is some tropical country. We have four seasons, so there was no need to store so much ice here. Did they think they’d suddenly start craving shaved ice in the middle of a war?” Edmund scoffed, his short temper rising to the surface.

Sasha also felt extremely confused.

Rather than ranting, however, she started walking toward the blocks of ice. She wanted to find out what exactly these blocks of ice were used for.

All of a sudden, her footsteps froze, and she stopped moving.

Edmund looked on in curiosity. “What is it? Did you find something?”

He walked over as well.

When he came next to Sasha, his eyes widened as well before he froze, not daring to move at all.

“I-is that a dead body?”

His skin started crawling and his voice was practically squeezed out of his throat in fear.

A corpse was lying right in front of them.

Rather than looking like an accident, however, the corpse was propped up neatly on the ice blocks, with both of its hands crossed before its chest serenely.
