Chapter 2338
Night of Destiny
âWeâre so lucky,â Willow said happily, turning her head to look at Jasper. Jasper glanced at the time,
then looked up at the nearly nine-foot-high opening. âItâs getting late.â
âAre we able to climb up?â asked Willow. The pit was too high, and the soil above was soft. There was
no way to climb out of this large pit. âIt looks like weâll have to spend the night here.â Jasper sighed.
âWeâll have to wait for rescue.â
Willow nodded. âAlright, weâre not in a hurry either. I have water, biscuits, and even a mat!â Then, she
took out a communication device. âStrange. Why isnât there any response? Where did the signal go?â
Jasper also noticed that the time on his watch was displayed wrongly. It seemed like the magnetic field
had gone berserk as they entered the cave.
âThere must be something affecting the magnetic field here. That is why we canât contact the outside
world,â Jasper said calmly. Willow looked surprised. âDoes this mean something is going on in this
tomb?â
The tomb behind them was also covered in soil, revealing only a few faintly visible murals and nearby
stone stumps. Jasper didnât want her to stay here. He jumped up and touched a stone, but it soon
collapsed, causing him to step back to avoid the falling rocks Willow grabbed his arm and said, âStop it.
Letâs wait for the rescue team to arrive! This island isnât that big, so theyâll surely find us soon.â
Jasper had no choice but to stay in the cave with her. He didnât mind the surroundings, but he was
worried about Willow and couldnât bear to see her suffer.
There was still some light coming into the cave, so it wasnât too dark. Jasper cleared a clean spot while
Willow spread out a surprisingly. clean mat. Then, she rummaged through her. bag and took out a
bottle of water. âWe only have one bottle of water left.â âYou drink it first.â
âIâm not thirsty. You drink it.â Willow gave the water to him. âIâm not thirsty either.â Jasper refused since
he wanted to keep the water for her.
Iâm not thirsty either,â Willow replied truthfully. After all, she had just drank water before climbing down.
Then, she continued taking photos of the surroundings. After some examination, she was certain they
had indeed. found the tomb they were looking for.
As darkness fell, the cave gradually became pitch black. Jasper took out a flashlight and shone a small
area around them. Still, the rest was in complete darkness. A sense of fear rose within Willow, and she
subconsciously moved closer to Jasper, snuggling up against him. Sensing her fear, Jasper pulled her
into his embrace and comforted her. âJasper, can you tell me something about yourself?â
âWhat do you want to know?â Jasperâs deep voice resonated in the quiet space. In such a serene
place, Willow found his voice captivating as she listened to him speak. It was as if his voice was the
sound of a cello, calming her nerves.
âAnything will do,â Willow replied, simply wanting to hear his voice. She curled up like a small animal,
nestling in his embrace entirely.
Jasper lowered his head and saw her in his embrace. Her soft and plump face rested against his arms
as she looked at him with clear eyes. In that split second, Jasperâs mind went blank, forgetting what he
wanted to say. He was captivated by her beauty.
On the other hand, Willow was still waiting to hear his story. Yet, Jasper was looking at her. with his
dark pupils. His eyes emitted a glow as if trying to look through her.
The atmosphere was so quiet that the sound of Jasper gulping became unusually clear. Willow blinked
and reached into her bag. Then, she handed him the bottle of water and said, âAre you thirsty? Have
some water!â
