Chapter 79: Isabella
I looked at Isabella, who was still shocked, her cheeks smeared with blood from the asshole I had beheaded.
Her mind could not comprehend what had happened. I stared at her for a while before she turned and stared at the asshole’s head, which was lying on the ground.
Then she threw herself into my arms and began crying loudly.
“Don’t worry, everything is over now,” I patted her back and consoled her.
I heard loud sobs from her. Because she was still in shock, I knew that crying loudly would help her calm down.
It wasn’t long before her sobs calmed down.
My eyes widened as I observed her handprints on her face. Suddenly, I felt a surge of anger welling up inside of me. I took a deep breath to calm myself down. In any case, I had already killed the culprits.
“Are you okay?” I asked her, as I saw her face staring at mine.
As she sat on the ground and broke free from me, trying to hide beneath my jacket, she nodded her head slowly.
As I sat beside her, I asked,
“So how did these assholes gang up on you?”
After looking at me for a moment, she looked away and stared at the distance.
I knew that this would be a trauma for her, but she had to get through it.
As I looked at her face, which was staring into the distance, I said, “Let’s forget it, wash up, there’s a river nearby.”
Once again, she nodded at me, but as she tried to get up, she stumbled, followed by her scream.
I quickly picked her up and saw that her leg had a large bruise. I felt my blood boil.
“What have these fuckers done?” I exclaimed inside my mind, as I considered mutilating the corpses of those assholes to vent all my anger.
Inhaling deeply, I picked her up from the ground and carried her to the river.
The whole time I carried her to the river, she stared at me in silence.
As I became worried, I wondered if she was still shocked.
As soon as we reached the river, I put her back down and said,
“Wash yourself thoroughly, and then apply the medicine,” I said as I took the medicines and clothing out of the inventory.
“OK,” she said as she looked at the clothes.
As I glanced at her for a moment, I returned to arrange the tent. To be honest, I bought many things in the city in preparation for my six-month stay in this jungle.
Since the first day itself I met Amelia, as well as the following days, I spent most of my time in the village. I never had the chance to use it.
As I took the tent out of the inventory, I began arranging it. I heard Isabella’s painful scream.
I sighed and kept everything on the ground, and went back to observe her condition.
When I watched her try to clean herself, I noticed the painful expression on her face.
Although she was naked in front of me, I had no other thoughts other than anger. Her body was covered in bruises.
She was tortured so badly, I cannot imagine what she endured.
I saw her flinch as I came towards her. Shaking my head, I went near her and helped her wash her body.
I thoroughly cleaned her body without uttering a word. It felt like she was staring at me the entire time I was cleaning her.
I then applied the medicine to all areas of bruises after cleaning her. She grunted from time to time as I touched the bruised areas.
As I helped her to get dressed, I saw an expression of relief on her face. As I cleaned her and helped her dress, I had only one thought in mind: pity.
Pity, yes, pity for the pain she was experiencing. No matter what you say, I cannot stand beauty in pain, especially the one that I had my eyes on.
I was captivated by her once I saw her in the forest. I had already decided that if she does not have a man in her life, she will be my woman.
From the time that I had spent with her in the facility. I found out that she does not have anyone in her life. Although I had not spent much time with her, I knew that it wouldn’t be long before I would be spending time with her, since she was also joining the forces.
I carried her back to where I was arranging the tent and laid her down.
“Wait, a bit while I set up the tent,” I smiled and said to her.
A shocked expression appeared on her face as she saw the tent on the ground. I didn’t say anything and began arranging the tent.
Having set up the tent, I removed the bed from the inventory and placed it inside, then left the tent.
After I left the tent, I saw Isabella still sitting in the same place, looking at it.
As I came out, she looked at me with a little bit of a shock in her eyes. Upon approaching her, I asked:
“Do you feel well now?”
She stared at me for a long time before replying, “Ok,”
I sighed and stared at her while I sat beside her. Suddenly, she leaned forward and kept her head on my shoulders.
“Thank you, I don’t know what would have happened if…” She started crying at the end.
“It’s all going to be fine now, am I right?” I said, putting my hand across her shoulders.
The two of us sat there silently for a while.
After a while, I asked her, “Can you still walk?”
“I think I can,” she said as she tried to get up. After staggering for a moment, she stood up with a painful expression on her face.
Although she is still in pain, I can tell that the medication worked well.
I assisted her in getting into the tent. She had a shocked expression on her face as she stepped into the tent. Her eyes were filled with questions.
“Are you a space user?” she said stuttering.
“Calm down, I can’t use space for anything other than storage,” I lied and smiled at her. Although I can’t call it a lie, I can call it a partial truth. Eve provided the space to me, and I am even paying rent for it.
As she sat on her bed, I helped her.
When I heard a growling sound from her stomach, I asked, “Are you hungry?”.
A moment later, she nodded with embarrassment on her face.
“You don’t have to be shy if you want to say anything to me,” I said as I smiled at her.
“Wait a while. I did a deer hunt in the afternoon. We’ll have dinner after I clean it,” I said after glancing at her.
She nodded as I came out of the tent. As I approached the river, I pulled out the deer’s still-fresh body.
One great thing about the inventory is that the food items don’t rot if they’re kept in.
Having skinned and cleaned the deer, I took out a barbecue stove and lit it.
A few minutes later, I could smell the aroma of barbecuing meat spreading through, as the meat had been spiced with much heat.
As Isabella emerged from the tent, she was in a daze. It was so enticing that she even gulped when she saw the deer meat barbecued.
Slowly, she approached me and sat next to me while watching the process of barbecuing meat.
A short time later, when the meat was ready, I served the meat on my plates and handed it to Isabella.
She grabbed the plate from me and bit the meat hurriedly.
“Too good!” she exclaimed as she stuffed herself with the meat and reached out for another serving.
As I served the meat again, I smiled at her innocence.
We ended up eating the whole deer after a while. Afterward, I lay down on the ground and looked up at the stars. Suddenly, I felt Isabella lying beside me.
My gaze was drawn to her eyes when I turned around to look at her. At the moment that she stared at me, I was mesmerized by her brown eyes, and I moved closer to her as she started breathing hurriedly, yet she kept staring into my eyes.
Her eyes were full of expectation as I gently kissed her. A strange combination of sweet smell and medicine accompanied her kisses.
The smell of that medicine turned my mood off as I broke the kiss. Her big, round eyes stared at me with shock.
Looking at her shocked expression caused a wry smile to spread across my face.
“Don’t worry, we will do it all again once you get better,” I said as I gently kissed her forehead.
