Cosset You Forever

Chapter 465 Showing Love Wherever You are

"When did I come out of Mando Bay?" Lola asked the bodyguard standing nearest to her. She remembered someone picking her up. It must have been Harry.

"About three o'clock this morning," the bodyguard replied with great respect.

Lola then continued chatting with the bodyguard.

Almost an hour later, the bodyguards heard a sound coming from the nearby road.

They saw a military vehicle equipped with carriages and an off-road vehicle approaching them.

Immediately, the bodyguards surrounded Lola pushing her in the inner circle and became highly vigilant.

Lola was moved by what they did as they were protecting her at the cost of their own lives.

As the vehicle came closer, the bodyguards saw who were riding in the vehicles. Once their identities were confirmed, they visibly relaxed.

They made way for the men who got off.

Lola saw that the men who alighted from the vehicles were her elder brother, Jordan and her husband, Harry. Seeing them safe, she happily ran to them and embraced Harry.

Harry tightly hugged her and gave her a long kiss.

Seeing the two lovebirds, Jordan and the bodyguards looked away.

"You are showing love wherever you are. Boss Si, My Lady, have you ever considered how we feel?" grumbled one of the bodyguards.

Lola had not expected Harry to kiss her. "People are watching us!" She blushed and pushed her husband away.

She then noticed that Harry's arm was bandaged. "What happened there? And what happened to your arm?" Lola asked with great anxiety.

"Nothing serious. Lucien, who was cunning as a fox, shot me," he briefly told her.

"Was he hurt?" She thought. "Did you visit a doctor?" She asked, her eyes wide with concern.

"Don't worry, the bullet has been taken out and the doctor attended to the wound," he said, gently massaging her frowning eyebrows.

She relaxed and sighed with relief. She then turned to Jordan and asked, "And what about you, brother? How are you?"

Jordan looked at his kid sister and said, "Finally you noticed your elder brother! I thought that you cared only about my brother-in-law!"

Jordan's joke made Lola turn bright red, "I am about to ask you, Jordan," she said nodding her head.

Jordan glanced at the man beside her. He had hurt himself for him. "I am ok," he replied and smiled.

He was delighted that his sister had such a lovely, self-sacrificing man as her husband. He could not have wished for more.

"Let's get on quickly. Maybe we can find the place before afternoon," Harry said to every one present. Lola sat with Harry in the off-road vehicle and the bodyguards piled in the military vehicle behind.

Jordan drove the off-road vehicle while Harry and Lola sat in the back seat.

"Lola, please take out the watch," Harry asked his wife.

She bowed her head and took it from around her neck.

Harry took the watch with great reverence. He then carefully pressed the switch to open it.

On the surface, it looked like any other common watch. No one would have thought that it hid such grave secrets.

Jordan saw Harry examining the watch in the rearview mirror. "You can dismantle it, Harry." he said nodding towards the watch.

Harry took out a screwdriver from the toolkit prepared in advance.

As soon as Harry removed the dial of the watch, a thin piece of parchment paper fell out. Harry asked Lola to pick it up and open it.

Lola gently picked up the paper and gingerly opened it. The paper had some strange lines along with some small complex characters signed below.

She didn't understand what was written...

Meanwhile, Harry reassembled and restored the watch. He gave it back to Lola, who put it around her neck once again, and took the paper from her. The parchment had a treasure map drawn on it.

He studied it for some time and then said, "The paper says that the place shown here has a gold mine."

"Gold mine? Oh my God! It really was a treasure since it was described as a mine. But why had Lucy Wei said that the mine had petroleum instead of gold at that time?" Lola thought to herself.

Hearing that the paper led to a gold mine, the two men's spirits were dampened. Lola was the only excited one in the car.

"How can we get there?" Jordan asked. He only cared for the answer to this question.

Harry continued studying the map and said, "We should go through this glacier. After that, we may find the land that has the mine."

"Go across the glacier? It might be quite late by the time we are able to cross it," Jordan thought.

After driving for over two hours, there were still endless glaciers in front of them.

They stopped and rested for a while. Then, they continued driving.

They hadn't managed to cross the glorious glaciers even when darkness fell. Moreover, it was getting cold.

After some time, Harry asked everybody to stop and set up a camp. They would continue at dawn.

Lola saw the men take out tents, quilts, frock coats, blankets, food and other provisions.

"I never noticed them preparing all these things." thought Lola.

Harry dressed her and himself in the frock coats. The temperature varied greatly from morning to evening, He guessed that it might be several degrees below zero.

A bodyguard skillfully made the fire. He even prepared the firewood and the iron pot for cooking.

Dinner comprised some beef jerky, biscuits, instant noodles, bread and ham sausages.

After having the simple dinner, everybody retired to their tents to rest.

Only Harry and Lola shared a tent. The tent was just big enough to allow two people to sleep together.

"Go and put up a new tent!" Lola playfully admonished the man tightly embracing her. She felt shy that the others had to sleep alone.

Harry closed his eyes and ignored her. She was so beautiful, he sighed. "No way!" he replied.

"Ok then. Let's sleep!" Lola succumbed, unable to push Harry away.

Harry kissed Lola on the lips and started provocatively touching her body.

Lola immediately caught his big hand. "There are too many people here, and the tent is not even sound proof," she whispered. "Please don't move. If you continue doing this, I will get angry!" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Harry breathed heavily and unwillingly closed his eyes after her warning.

"How excruciating she is!"

Everybody slept soundly. The night was quiet except for the sound of dry wood burning.

Harry continued embracing his wife, adoringly looking at her sleeping face in the dim light.

One of them had to remain awake and stay on guard for the safety of the others.

Fearing that his wife would catch a cold, he tucked some more quilts and his frock coat around her. It would be quite chilly outside.

He looked at the time. It was around three o'clock. He moved out of the bed and unzipped the tent.

The moment he came out of the tent, he heard a sound from Jordan's tent also.

Jordan also emerged in the tranquil night, The two men sat together and rekindled the fire.

"Go back to sleep, you need to drive tomorrow," Harry said looking at Jordan. His tone was habitually commanding.

Jordan smiled and shook his head, "You too need to rest because of your wound." When he was in the army before, he had once worked for three days without sleeping. Jordan was sure that he could manage it again, if need be.
