Chapter 351
Charmine walked as she swam in her thoughts, but it became stranger the more she walked. She was sure she had passed this particular area… Why was she back in the same area?
She remembered that it took less than half an hour to get to Rex’s hut from the entrance of the village, yet she had walked for over an hour already. Why was she not out yet?
She stopped dead in her tracks and eyed her surroundings.
Her surroundings were dimly lit by the moonlight. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, just some huts sitting not far away from where she stood.
Perhaps she was too caught up with her thoughts that she did not pay attention to her surroundings? She focused on the path in front of her and continued walking.
Despite that, she found no way out even as she walked. She always returned at the same spot by the ridge.
How peculiar.
All of a sudden, rain fell from the sky. It was not too heavy, nothing like a downpour, but it was enough to drench anyone.
“Charmine!” called a gentle yet urgent voice.
Julian ran up to her and removed his suit to cover her head. “It’s raining. Why don’t we look for a shelter?” he offered as he reached out to hold her, seemingly worried.
“Cut the bullsh*t!” Charmine pulled off his suit and tossed it back at him. “Tell me, what’s up with the path?”
“It’s a long story, and I just realized it as well. Let’s find a shelter first, and I’ll tell you ther.”
With that, Julian covered Charmine with his suit again and walked in front of her. Charmine did not want to follow him, but everything seemed so strange. It did not help that the rain got heavier by the minute, thus she had no choice but to follow him.
