My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 447

Both Old Herera and Anders were exhausted. They slumped against a tree while trying to catch their breath.

“What time is it now?”

Nash shoved his phone, which had run out of battery, back into his pocket.

His push-button phone was in his backpack, and it was difficult to take it out.

Melody rolled her sleeve up and looked at her watch. She had a stunned expression on her face as she said, “It’s four in the morning. Did we spend that much time inside?”

They began their descent yesterday morning, and since it was now four in the morning, it meant nearly 20 hours had passed.

Heidi massaged her stomach as she said listlessly, “No wonder I’m so hungry…”

Nico smiled. “You’ll have to hang in there. We gave all our food to the King of Medicine!”

Heidi sounded dejected as she said, “But I’m so hungry!”

It had been almost 20 hours since they last ate, and they had also spent a great deal of physical energy. Not even the strongest ox could withstand such conditions.

Old Herera said, “I think we still have some food in our tent…”

Anders sighed. “Given our current energy levels, it’ll be difficult for us to continue our journey for another hour!”

Finn turned to Ken and said, “Ken, come with me to look for some food!”

Ken nodded and walked alongside Finn into the dark forest.

Nash found an empty stretch of land and gathered some firewood to light a fire.

Everyone sat down around the bonfire and relaxed as the warmth from the fire washed over them.

Nico spread some hay beside him and said, “Derek, you might as well lay on your stomach since you can’t sit properly!”

The corner of Derek’s lips jerked.

However, there was nothing else he could do.

Nash asked, “How do you feel now? Have the fingers… loosened up?”

Derek pouted. “They'll burrow even deeper if I even loosen my grip the tiniest bit…”

“Ahem…”

Nash covered his mouth with his palm and coughed. “I currently have no means of helping you. You’ll just have to hang in there!”

Old Herera untied the rope around his waist and put Zain’s corpse behind him before he said, “We need to find Madam Lunaris… She’ll know what to do!”

“Why can that dismembered hand still move?”
