The man finally opened his eyes slowly and felt an excruciating pain in his head. Then, the figure caring for him for the past few days immediately approached and held his hand while looking at him."Are you awake?" A soft voice sounded slowly. His eyes became more focused on paying attention to the figure before him.It was a woman with short hair and simple clothes. He didn't recognize the woman until he squinted his eyes, so he could see her more clearly.The woman spoke again. "You are seriously injured. This is a small village, and fortunately, I can help you with your treatment as I am the medicine expert here." She held up a small bowl with a black colored paste in it. The newly awakened figure must not have understood what happened to him,The pain in the back of his head made him hold the back of his head, but the woman immediately stopped what Clayton was doing. "Don't touch it, your wound isn't dry yet. You were badly injured and I found you on the edge of the beach. I thou
In the morning, using his dark red Jeep, they left the house to head towards the village. This was the first time Clayton left the house of the person who saved him."I know very well that you must be bored at home. Coming with me to the village is not a bad thing. I also want to meet the Village Chief today to ask something. While I'm doing something, you can enjoy a walk around the Village by yourself." Martha smiled as she spoke. She drove the car quite well, making it through the bumpy, rocky roads.Clayton just nodded his head, and Martha saw it, too. She focused herself on the road ahead. Sometimes, she would run into other people, and they would honk. While Clayton was more focused on paying attention to his surroundings, the quiet scenery in this village was enough to make him calm, too.Thirty minutes later, they finally reached the center of the village. There were many buildings compared to what Clayton saw along the way, and there were also many shops standing. They had op
Clayton almost lost his focus when he was pushed earlier. If he didn't quickly make himself able to hold on, he could fall, and the worst thing was that his head could be hit by the bounce again.He avoided that. It would only worsen his condition, so he returned their glares.The other two immediately disliked Clayton. "How dare you settle us like that! Do you think you're a great person? They snapped in high voices. That voice could have scared them, but Clayton stared at them coldly.""What's wrong with him?" one of them questioned inwardly, astonished by what they were facing now. A man who didn't seem at all afraid of them."I just want to go back. Martha must have been waiting for me," he explained to them, but they still didn't want to hear what he said because one of them liked Martha.He was the leader of the three of them who pushed Clayton's body earlier. He blocked Clayton's footsteps and looked at him more sharply, with intimidation that Clayton was not afraid of. "You ca
Clayton bent down. He made his body condition lower than Martha, who was busy with watching his head. She was changing Clayton's head bandage and cleaning the wound again.She did it carefully and seriously, rubbing the wound with the prepared medicine and then bandaging it again. After that, she looked at Clayton, who had been calmly bowing his head. "It's done."Martha's voice made Clayton immediately raise his head. He saw Martha, who was sitting on a chair. Then he slightly touched his head to feel the bandage that Martha had just placed. "Thank you, Martha. You always do well."He did not doubt the ability of Martha, a medicinal expert in the village. Martha then gave Clayton a drink of medicinal herbs. The man was already holding the medicine glass, and he could inhale the strong herbal fragrance. Without needing to be talked to by Martha, Clayton gulped down the drink quickly. The bitter taste in his mouth was so intense that he almost spit out the medicine."You did well." Mar
"Hey, are you awake?" A woman was shaking the body of the man in front of her. She was watching with great concern.The man had not regained consciousness. Sweat was pouring down on him quite a lot. So the woman shook his body even more vigorously. "Get up." She said it in a loud enough voice,,, and the man woke up this time.He opened his eyes in a hurry. There was so much pressure on his body because of what had just happened to him. As he looked before him, he looked at the figure that made him wake up. Clayton finally rubbed his eyes. He tried to stand up and was helped by Martha.He was a little confused and then spoke in a hoarse voice. "What's wrong, Martha? Are you here?" He hadn't realized what was really going on.Martha watched him with concern, her eyes seemed to tremble and she finally took a breath first."Just now, you were calling someone's name and looked like you were in torment, so I woke you up. You seemed to be having a nightmare." Martha spoke as she continued to
It was a bright and attractive morning up in the sky. The birds had flown, foraging the ocean and making nests on the land. Clayton had already put on his shirt and black scarf. Just like the schedule they had discussed, the man who didn't know himself would be in the city with Martha today.The long-haired woman had just come out of the house. She was carrying a sizable bag over her right shoulder and noticed the man watching the ceiling this morning. "Are you ready?" She put the bag in the Jeep, then looked back at Clayton, who had been staring at her."I'm ready," Clayton finally answered the woman and entered the car. He put on the seat belt and looked at the woman watching him. "Aren't we going to walk?" He asked to divert the attention of the woman beside him."It's going to be a long drive, it takes a few hours to get there. I hope you're up to it." The woman chuckled as she said that.Clayton nodded his head. "Of course, I'm strong. Don't underestimate me even if I remember my
After they had waited for a while, there was the sound of large footsteps. That made Martha and Clayton in the room circulate their eyes around to see what was happening in this police station."I've been feeling very strange about the attitude of the police here." Martha looked at Clayton. She couldn't hide the uneasiness she felt.The same was true for Clayton, who nodded and was wary of anything happening to them. Then, not long after two policemen arrived in front of them, they bowed slightly, which made Clayton and Mata again confused by their attitude."Sir, please wait a moment." The policeman spoke and made Clayton not understand what his person was saying. But he was still calm.As the policeman stood quietly, suddenly, people wearing black clothes came. It confused Martha and Clayton, making Martha wonder if the man she had been with was a bad man. She swallowed her own saliva before she spoke again. There was a slightly old man and one person who was beside him. Everyone ne
A person had been waiting with anxiety inside him. He wrung his hands for who knows how many times. As he stood with his eyes, watching his surroundings, the people around him were watching him. People did not want her to get hurt; for now, she was a priority to keep the Arnould family going."What took them so long, Mother?" Ahren finally looked at Elle on the left side, very agitated.Just now, when she was relaxing and trying to enjoy her life even though it was so hard, she had gotten information from the servants about her husband, who had been found, which made her want to meet him now.Since 4 hours ago she had been waiting for her husband, she was outside and repeatedly asking about him, even though people had explained the long distance. But that was the case. She still wanted to see her husband now."Ahren, calm down a bit. I know that your husband will be fine. He's been found and he's safe, it just took time to get here, Ahren." Her mother spoke again, trying to be as calm
