The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2005

In the end, Drover said, "Be quiet.” That got Marius to shut his mouth.

His slightly reproachful gaze lingered on me, and what he said next held some jealousy. "I'm no longer the only one ever since you appeared."

If I had not been aware of his brotherhood with Drover, I would have misunderstood their relationship.

Shaking my head helplessly, I turned to look out the window.

We had covered quite a distance. There were mountains and rivers along the way, and the area was getting more and more remote.

"There's still a long way to go. You… two can sleep for a bit. We’ll be going through some mountainous roads, so be careful not to look at your phone so that you don’t get motion sickness,” Drover reminded us.

He wanted to say ‘you’ just now but switched it to ‘you two’ at the end after thinking that it was inappropriate. I heard the pause. A strange feeling welled up in my heart.

I did not reply and just did as he said.

Taking advantage of the calm moments ahead, I closed my eyes and fell asleep after a while.

Some time passed before I woke up in a daze. The car was still moving, but the surrounding scenery was now of mountainous roads. We had obviously gone through quite a few turns, but there seemed to be countless more turns waiting for us.

"Find a place to stop. I'm dying." Marius' face had turned red. He really could not stand it anymore.

Drover hurriedly pulled over and stopped the car. Marius got out of the car quickly and threw up on the grass. I also got out of the car for some fresh air.

Looking at Marius crouching in the grass from a distance, Drover handed him a tissue and some mineral water with a look of disgust. This scene was quite memorable.

I picked up my phone and took a photo.

After Marius felt better, we got into the car again.

I looked at him. "You’d better stop playing with your phone. It's very steep here. Don't underestimate it."
