Chapter 466 Did the Wolves Come
Chapter 466 Did the Wolves Come
Both of them just sat there silently. By three-thirty in the morning, a slight sound suddenly came from somewhere not that away from them.
Looking at each other at the same time, they knew that something was approaching.
Immediately, they reached for the weapons they were carrying on their waists. They were ready to start fighting at any given moment.
The sound became louder and louder, and if you listened to it more carefully, you would have realized that it wasn't made by a human being.
Standing up at the same time, they both looked towards the direction from where the sound was coming.
In the darkness, eyes were seen glowing with a green light.
They figured out almost immediately that it was a pack of wolves, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Sometimes, humans are far more terrible than wolves are. Taking a second look, they were re- assured. Thank God that there were only five or six wolves.
Harry immediately put some more wood on the fire, and then he picked up the flashlight beside it and turned it on.
The wolves were then all exposed to the light, and two were red, and three were brown. At the front of the pack was a snow white wolf, which was supposed to be their head.
These wolves all had wide mouths, sharp snouts. Their tails were short and hanging in the back, not yet curled, and their ears were pricked, too.
If Harry was right, these must be the endangered Warrah.
Without any hesitation, Harry took out his weapon and drew a warning shot towards the pack.
Hearing the gun's loud noise, the wolf pack immediately turned back and fled away as was expected.
However, the shot also awakened all the people who were asleep.
Lola all of a sudden opened her eyes abruptly, and found that inside the tent there was no one else but herself.
Hearing the gunshot, she instantly climbed out of the tent.
The bodyguards also ran out. They were all fully armed and vigilantly aiming at the surroundings with their weapons.
"Relax, it was just a wolf pack, but it's gone already. Go back to sleep, all of you!" Jordan looked at the bodyguards around him, armed to the teeth and ready to fight. He couldn't help but wonder where Harry had found all of these men. They seemed to be pretty strong.
Harry saw Lola, who was outside in her thin dress. He quickly walked towards her and pushed her back inside the tent.
"Don't worry, everything is alright. Go back to sleep now!" He was worried about her, seeing her come out in that thin dress on such a cold night.
Looking at Harry's wound, Lola asked, "Did the wolves come?" She then looked at Harry restlessly.
Harry pushed her back, saying, "No, honey, go to sleep!" But the moment Harry tucked her into bed, Lola sat up again.
"Let's sleep together." She wondered whether Harry had slept or not.
Harry pushed her back and tucked her into bed again, and said, "I already slept, and I'm not sleepy yet. You sleep first! Good girl."
"No. If you you're not sleeping, I'm not sleeping. I'm staying with you!" She slightly pouted her lips and stubbornly watched Harry.
But Harry just shook his head and smiled, and said, "Be good. We are all used to it, and as long as I'm here, I will not let you suffer in any way." He leaned his body forward, only leaving his feet outside the tent. There was no way for Lola to get out now.
As long as he was there, he would not let her suffer.
Although these were only simple words, she was greatly moved by them.
As she gradually became drowsy, she didn't argue anymore with him. "Well, you can take turns with our brother." After saying this in a daze, she soon fell asleep.
Harry caressed her long hair, and gave her a kiss on her cheek. Then he got out of the tent and zipped it back tightly.
Outside the tent, three bodyguards were trying to persuade Jordan to sleep, "Officer, you had better go and take a rest! We have already slept for a couple of hours. That is enough."
Harry first looked at the three bodyguards and then at his brother, saying "Jordan, just go to sleep. Remember that you have to drive the car tomorrow..."
Jordan stopped arguing with them and went back to his tent.
The bodyguards wanted Harry to rest, too, but he raised his hands and stopped them. He already knew what they wanted to say. However, he felt better when he guarded his woman himself.
Three bodyguards were chatting in a low voice. Harry checked his phone, but there was still no signal. He then looked at some photos of Lola and their three kids.
There was a smile spreading on his face, and he wondered if the three little souls caused any trouble back at home.
Gradually, dawn came. At 7 o'clock in the morning, Harry woke Lola from her deep sleep.
She was actually awakened by a kiss. She rubbed her eyes and saw the refreshed man standing before her.
She remembered that he had stayed up all night, and wondered how come he was still so energetic. She really admired him!
He zipped the tent, fetched her jacket and military coat, and put them on her.
"It must be somewhere in the middle of the glacier, in an extremely cold temperature." He mentioned this casually as he helped her neatly button her clothes.
Lola watched the man treat her like a child, and while smiling innocently, she gave him a little kiss on his lips.
Harry replied to her with smiles. One kiss was just not enough for him!
After a long time, the tent's zipper was finally open again. Lola came out of it, with a blushed face and a shrunken neck.
It was really cold! She saw the steam coming out of her breath and rubbed her hands together.
Harry brought her some hot water to rinse her mouth and wash her face.
They just ate some bread, ham and some dried meats for breakfast. Then they packed up to move forward.
Another day passed, and they were still in the endless glacier. They started to make camp on the spot.
Jordan had been driving the car all day long and now took his rest earlier, to have a better physical and mental state tomorrow.
At night, Lola and Harry sat around the fire and talked. "I fell asleep last night and didn't get to see any of the wolves. Do you think any will come tonight?" The woman asked him in a very excited manner.
Harry stared at her, speechless. Had she been born yesterday? Didn't she know that wolves were ferocious animals? How could she like wolves! "Who knows. It'll be no surprise to see wolves at the edge of the world."
Lola opened her eyes wide excitedly, and said, "Honey, you go to sleep now. Tonight, I will protect you!" Usually, she was the one that needed protection. It was her turn this time.
Harry hugged her into his arms, "Naughty little girl. Do you think I need a woman to protect me?" If he ever allowed this happen, it would definitely make people laugh their heads off instantly!
Facing his arrogance, Lola curled her lips in discontent, and said, "I have a gun! I can just shoot the wolves when they attack. If only I could capture one and bring it back and place it next to the liger."
Harry slightly shook his heads and let out a silent sigh. What a simple woman Lola was! "It's not just the wolves. Lola, it's a complicated world, and you are so young, and so simple." Since they left Mando Bay and had arrived here, it was really quiet. Didn't she notice that?
So many people had always been hunting the old watch. Now lots of people knew about it, and set out on their way for treasure hunting!
Someone might already be on their way, tracking them. Someone may... have already been following them from a certain distance.
He looked at the passage through which they had just passed. It was pitch-black. This was a perfect place, for hiding.
Lola looked at Harry, noticing that he was gazing at the traveled road. She followed his eyes, but saw nothing. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Is anyone following us?" That must be what he meant.
Of course she knew that this was a complicated and dangerous world; that was something that she had tried to avoid in many occasions.
