Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 444

Subsequently, Toby looked around and noticed the cave and the supplies in it. What is going on?

"Where did these come from?" Toby asked as he lifted the quilt from his body.

Sonia sat down and explained, "From the cave itself."

"From the cave?" Toby raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised by this answer.

Sonia nodded. "Yes, I carried you out of the forest to see if there’s anyone living outside. As long as there is someone living around here, we would be saved, but before we could leave, it began to rain. Then I found this cave and brought you in to take shelter from the rain. After I came in, I found these things."

"I see." Toby nodded, then frowned and said, "Could this cave be where wanted fugitives live?"

Some prisoners who were wanted for being on the run liked to hide in the deep mountains and forests. Thus, with the presence of daily necessities in a cave, it was hard not to see it in a negative light.

"No." Sonia shook her head. "At first, I also doubted if it was a fugitive living here, but later I found this."

She pointed to the left breast pocket of the camouflage uniform she was wearing. Toby lowered his eyes to look, and when he saw the label, he immediately felt relieved. "It’s good that it was a ranger."

He did hear that some rangers would build some grass huts or wooden huts on the mountains so that when the patrol was late, there was a place for them to stay in the mountain. So, it made sense that this cave would be used by the rangers.

"Yeah, that's why I'm comfortable taking you here for the night." Sonia smiled. "Speaking of which, we should thank these two rangers. They left clothes and quilts here, and most importantly, they also left a medical kit and food.

Otherwise, even if we have a fire tonight, it would be difficult to survive."

Suddenly, she remembered something and looked at the man's pale handsome face. "Right, President Fuller, how is your head now? Are your arms and back still hurting badly?"

Toby laughed lightly and said, "My head is still a little dizzy, while I don’t really feel much of my arm. My back doesn't hurt as much as it did at first. You gave me medicine, right?"

Recalling that she said there was a medical kit, he concluded that she had likely applied the medication on his wounds. As he had anticipated, she nodded. "Yes, the wounds on your back were split open, so without medicine, they would become inflamed, and you would also get a fever. So, I gave the medicine to you."

"Thanks." Toby looked at her, but she waved her hand at him. "You don't need to thank me, as it's me who should thank you. You suffered because of me." "I volunteered, so you don't have to take it to heart." Toby comforted her.

Sonia took a deep breath and replied, "Okay, President Fuller, let's not talk about that. Are you hungry?"

Toby nodded slightly. "A little."

"Wait a moment." She got up, went to the place where she had taken the cookies and mineral water just now, and brought a bag of cookies and a bottle of mineral water back.

"There is only an emergency food supply, so you will have to make do," Sonia said while tearing open the package for him and unscrewing the screw cap.

At that moment, Toby couldn’t help but look at her with eyes full of tenderness. "It’s okay. In this situation, it's already good to have food."

"Yes." Sonia nodded in agreement. "So, we should thank the rangers who left the food here, but I don't have my phone nor wallet on me, and I don't know how to—"

"The wallet in my pocket should still be there," Toby said, pointing to the pants by the fire.

Looking in the direction he pointed, she didn’t think twice before commenting, "No wonder I felt something when I took off your pants just now. It should be the wallet.”

Toby raised his eyebrows. "Took off my pants?"
