Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1643

Now, even her grandpa is no longer around? The kind-hearted Vivian could feel her heart aching for the young lady in front of her who was crying miserably.

"I'm so sorry, Lucy.I didn't know your grandpa had passed away.If I had known that, I would definitely have returned to look for you."

Kurt could not help but take a few additional glances at Lucy.

This time, there was some warmth in his gaze.

Lucy wiped her tears while saying, "I'm fine.My uncle treats me well.Even though he objected strongly to my mom's decision to marry my dad last time, he brought me here to take care of me immediately after knowing that I was all alone."

A smile appeared on the young lady's face once again as she briefly narrated her family circumstances to Vivian and Kurt.

So that's how she's related to this tribe.

Vivian, who had a trusting nature, did not doubt Lucy's words.

Meanwhile, Kurt simply stood beside the girls in silence.

"By the way, I heard you guys asking my uncle about that route just now.Do you intend on going that way? Where are you heading to? There's nothing there except the River of Styx."

Lucy suddenly brought up the earlier conversation, startling Vivian slightly.

"Vivi's daddy has not been feeling well ever since he regained consciousness.River of Styx is one of the few remaining rivers with a high salt concentration containing the extremely rare pentlandite rocks.According to her mommy, some elements contained in the rocks can help with her daddy's recovery"

Kurt explained placidly.

Vivian was utterly dumbfounded by the young man's ability to make up another perfect story in just a few minutes.

He's really something! How did he even manage to think of that? Vivian was certain that she would have been deceived by the man as well if she was not aware of her parents’ real situation.

Indeed, comprehension seemed to dawn on Lucy after she heard that.

"I see.Let me take you guys there then since my uncle is not around now.We should hurry"

Lucy urged the other two to get down the mountain and take the other path.

Vivian and Kurt froze for a few seconds at the young lady's suggestion.

As they were unable to sense anything amiss from observing Lucy's expression, Kurt decided to follow her suggestion.

A while later, when the three of them arrived at the entrance from before, Lucy looked around cautiously before taking out a badge from her pocket.

"Vivian, you guys should take this.I'll keep a lookout at the entrance.If someone gives you trouble inside, just show them this badge and say my name.It's all right" Lucy advised.

It seemed like she was going all out for her two friends, and Vivian was not willing to let her take the risk.
