A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 1190

Soon, the flames behind them blazed in. The heat of the fire hit them on the back. The trees sputtered and burned.

The trees around them were on fire. The two were surrounded by flames. Their cheeks were burning hot.

They could not move forward or backward. Sherman felt desperate.

Luke glanced around with his sharp eyes, and suddenly, his eyes sparkled. He cried, joy and excitement in his voice, his voice pitched, "Go sweep away those leaves.”

Sherman didn't ask any questions. She did as he said. She quickly swept away the dead yellow leaves. In front of her was a

hole. It was narrow, and she couldn’t see the bottom of it.

"Jump!" A hint of command was in Luke's tone, "Jump in the cave!"

Sherman walked over. Her shoes had already caught fire. She gritted her teeth and held on. She put her hands on Luke’s back and pushed him down into the cave. Then, she closed her eyes and jumped into the cave, too.

Sherman fell heavily to the ground. Severe pain spread throughout her whole body. She passed out.

Luke took off his jacket and covered it over Sherman’s body. The cave was about five o r six meters high. They cowered in the corner. They were safe for now.

Luke leaned against the wall of the cave. H e was silent.

Sherman was right that Luke was in deep remorse. The way Zora died was too horrific. He could never forget that. As time went on, it became a nightmare. And it drove Luke into the depth of sufferings.
