After confirming that Josephine was not a phantom image, hot tears burst out from Jared's eyes. In utter disbelief, he asked, “Is this real, Josephine? Are you real?”
“Yes. It's real...” Tears of joy streaked Josephine's face too.
The long-separated lovers had finally reunited with each other. Even though they had many questions, none of them could form coherent sentences at this moment.
Jared's eyes fixated on Josephine's tear-stained face. He had longed to see his lover for a long time. Ultimately, he could no longer resist the urge to kiss her on the lips.
Josephine returned his kiss passionately.
Nothing else in the world mattered to them other than the other party.
They were so deeply engrossed in their kiss that they disregarded everything else.
Their kiss lasted for a while, only ending after Josephine had breathing difficulties and Jared let her go.
She looked at the darkened sky, finally remembering that she was here to forage for food.
“Oh, no. I forgot I was here to search for food. Melanie must still be famished now,” Josephine stated urgently.
“Melanie? Do you mean Melanie Woodlands? She's around this place too?” Jared asked, shocked.
“I'll explain it to you later. Why don't you help me seek edibles? Then, we can talk as we walk back...” Josephine urged Jared along.
Soon, both found some wild vegetables and fruits before returning to Melanie's side.
As they walked, Josephine recounted the story to Jared. That was when the man finally found out that Malphas had abducted both Renee and Melanie into this secret realm.
Jared's interest was piqued when he heard about the book Arthur gave to Melanie.
How did Mr. Sanders know that Melanie and Renee would run into me? Was it in his prediction that these two women would be kidnapped by Evil Heart Sect, and abandoned here in the secret realm? Besides, what is the true motive for abducting them?
