When The Family Reads The Fake Heiress Mind novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120 A New Discovery

She instinctively frowned, a guarded look rising in her eyes.

“Ludwig,” Jean called out, her voice tense. “Do you smell that?”

Ludwig turned his head, his expression as calm as ever. “I do. But…”

He curled his lips, the corner of his mouth lifting in a lazy, faint smile. “I’m sure it’s just the smell of blood. Nothing else.”

His tone was firm, and Jean naturally trusted his judgment.

But still, why was the scent of blood so strong all of a sudden?

Something that unusual couldn’t be taken lightly..

Jean frowned and voiced her suspicion. “Could someone nearby be seriously injured?”

Ludwig shook his head. “Not likely.”

His eyes scanned the surroundings. “I don’t sense anyone around.”

Jean pressed her lips together, then asked another question. “Then could it be an animal? Maybe something died nearby?”

After all, Dominic and the others from the helicopter were still alive. If they had ended up in this area, there was no way they could survive without food and water. In a dense, wild forest like this, their only option might’ve been to hunt animals for sustenance. It wasn’t ideal, but it was

necessary.

To stay alive, they would have had no choice but to adapt to the law of the jungle….

“Either way, we should go check it out.” With that thought in mind, Jean called Ludwig over without hesitation and headed toward the source of the blood scent to investigate. Ludwig didn’t protest or say a word–he simply followed Jean’s lead.

She moved forward, tracking the smell, until they finally reached a towering tree, and there, at its base, was a large pool of blood. The blood hadn’t completely dried. It clung to the grass and trees, still damp in appearance.

“Not human. Animal,” Ludwig said, almost immediately.

Jean nodded calmly. “I thought so too.”

Just as she’d suspected, it was animal blood. Her eyes moved from the bloodstains to the surrounding area. There was nothing but blood. No sign of an animal carcass or any other remains…

Frowning slightly she stenned forward.

And there it was–traces of something heavy having been dragged away.

The plants on the ground were crushed flat, and faint blood stains were left behind.

Finished

Jean’s lips curled into a small smile, a gleam of excitement flashing in her eyes. “Just as I thought.. Someone must be nearby.

Ludwig looked down at the ground alongside her and tilted his head. “Someone hunted here. Killed an animal and dragged it away.”
