Trial Marriage Husband: Need To Work Hard (Book 3)

503

"That sounds reasonable," Doyeon said as she suddenly burst into tears. Regardless of the reason why Lucas came looking for her, his actions finally made her open her heart to him.

Because he had risked his life for her.

Soon, Xia Hanmo found a home that was willing to take them in. The owner gave them a place to rest, so Lucas immediately placed Doyeon onto the bed and started removing her clothes, "I'll help you dry off before you go to sleep."

By now, Doyeon no longer felt the need to resist. But, Xia Hanmo was standing right there.

"Errr...you and Doyeon are..."

Although Lucas had risked his life to come looking for Doyeon, Xia Hanmo still had to clarify things. What if Doyeon wasn't willing?

"I am her boyfriend, Lucas Li."

"She's never mentioned you before," Xia Hanmo chuckled. "Forget it. It's not the right time to discuss this matter. I wonder where the others have wandered off to."

"I spotted signs of the path they took, but I chose not to go after them," Lucas replied. "According to the direction they're headed, they will eventually end up in this village, but it will take them until the end of the day. They should settle down here around midnight."

"Huh? You..."

"That's their punishment for leaving Doyeon behind."

For a split second, Xia Hanmo actually felt that this man was quite cool.

He had a cold exterior but he was extremely capable, much like Lisa, except they were awesome in their own domain.

Either way, the rest of the crew deserved it.

Slowly, the sky turned dark. Xia Hanmo and Lucas had already washed themselves clean and changed into a new set of clothes when the rest of the crew finally arrived at the village. Of course, even though Xia Hanmo despised some of these people, she still paid the owner of the house some money to take them in.

"You...Hanmo, why are you..."

"It wasn't easy to convince the owner of this house to take you guys in. Hurry and wash yourselves down."

At this moment, Zhou Qing approached Xia Hanmo after completing his mission to protect these people and gave a sincere apology, "I need to take responsibility for leaving you guys behind."

"Zhou Qing, I understand what you were thinking. If you didn't protect them, they would have gotten lost in the woods."

"How did you get here first and why didn't you come looking for us?" someone asked angrily.

"What? You're not afraid of being infected by Doyeon anymore?" Xia Hanmo asked. "When you made the decision to abandon us, it should have crossed your mind that I'd keep any method of escape a secret from you."

"You..."

"Any way...we were rescued by Doyeon's boyfriend," Xia Hanmo revealed as she looked at Lucas.

At this moment, Lucas stepped out of Doyeon's room, but he only spoke to Xia Hanmo, "Manoban Entertainment's people are nearby. Your agency is sending a helicopter to get you."

"What about us?"

"You are already in a safe location. If you want to go home, then find your own way," Lucas said.

Arriving in the village meant that they now had electricity and phone reception. So, it was OK for Lucas to say such words.

As a result, everyone watched helplessly as Manoban Entertainment's helicopter picked up the trio and took them away.
