Chapter 625 The Fruits Turned Out to be Poisonous
“When we return, we will investigate and find the
perpetrator together. The main thing now is to bring you up.” Kisa stood up. “I will follow the direction from
where I fell. If I see vines, I will come back for you. If I don’t see any, I will speed up to get help.”
“Listen to me—go now and don’t look for any vines,”
Gilbert spoke in a low voice, sounding sad and powerless as if he had suddenly lost any hope.
Kisa frowned at him. “Why, Gilbert? Don’t you want to
come up?”
“I do, but… Even if I go up, I won’t survive. So, don’t waste your energy. Go back by yourself.” The headache was getting increasingly intense. His body was getting sorer and weaker. Gilbert even had difficulty speaking. He
almost exhausted all his strength when he helped her escape the cave. Mustering all his remaining strength, he looked up at Kisa just to see her for one last time. He saw her eyes wide open, her pale face, her lips shivering as she repeatedly shook her head as if she could not believe something. At last, strength left his body, and he fell down to the ground. The loud thud of him hitting the
ground shattered Kisa’s heart.
“Gilbert!” she cried out, her voice weak and hoarse from hunger and exhaustion. But she kept crying, hoping to wake the man who had fallen to the ground. She bit the back of her hand, crying and
trembling, not knowing what to do.
“Gilbert, wake up, wake up!” She was lying on her stomach at the edge of the cave opening, so anxious that she almost wanted to jump back down.
Suddenly, Gilbert’s low and frail voice came from the bottom of the cave. “Go now. D–don’t waste time and
energy. Those fruits have turned out to be poisonous.” With that, he went silent.
Kisa covered her head and broke down. “Poisonous? How could it be? You said it was not poisonous. Don’t, Gilbert. Just hold on. Kelvin will definitely be able to heal you. Just hold on, I beg you.”
There was still no sound from Gilbert at the bottom of the
cave.
She hurriedly wiped her tears away and walked anxiously in the direction from where she fell. Kisa trudged in the snow, every step extremely laborious. But the thought of Gilbert fainting in the cave drove her to press on. Even if
she fell, she got up immediately. She seemed not to be afraid of the cold, her hands reddened from the cold, yet she did not seem to feel the pain. Whenever she spotted some vine leaves, she would rush into the snow to look. Some veins were short, only the height of a person. When
this was the case, she would move on and look for the next one. She did not even have time to despair and grieve. She was exhausted, hungry, and cold. Several times she fell on the snow and could not get back up. But at the thought that Gilbert was still waiting for her, she propped herself up with a wooden stick and kept going.
She did not know how long she had been walking in the snow. While trudging ahead, she saw thick, long vines that grew
and climbed a towering tree. She was so excited that she immediately rushed over to it. She fell down several times but immediately got back up. “I can save Gilbert now! I can save Gilbert now!” She murmured joyfully, not even thinking about how she would get Gilbert up now that he had fainted. But miracles sometimes happen when people are pushed to their limits. She never knew how far she could go until she tried.
