Chapter 218
Ellinor chuckled helplessly deciding she’d had enough of Theo.
She walked around him to check on the bear that had been knocked down. After a thorough examination, she saw that the bear was in a bad state.
weak to run away
Seeing a human approach, it roared in fear, trying to bluff its way out!
Ellinor was lost in thought, looking at the pitiful creature. She sighed sympathetically, “Despite its size, it’s still a youngster, trying to act all tough”
Theo joined her, coldly studying the massive bear. He doubted Ellinor’s judgment, the beast clearly seemed dangerous
was injured and too
“Theo, brown bears don’t usually choose to live in such harsh conditions. I guess it fell down accidentally, just like us. We shouldn’t hurt it anymore, let’s set it freel
“III take your word for it
Without objection, Theo idly toyed with the silver mini–hunting rifle in his hand before putting it away.
Ellinor turned her head to look at him, deep in thought. Theo’s handling of the gun was too proficient. His identity might not be as simple as that of Mr. Blanchet from the Blanchet family
“Do you usually carry a gun with you. Theo?”
“I don’t usually need to carry it myself.”
Theo explained casually. “The Mountain Racecourse is a wilderness, there might be some wildlife; that’s why I brought a gun.”
Ellinor gave a noncommittal response, then sidestepped away from him
Theo caught her small movement and feeling a bit peeved, he asked, “What are you doing? Are you afraid of me?”
Ellinor shook her head, “I’m not afraid of you, but I’m afraid your gun might go off!”
Theo flicked her forehead, “You’re overthinking!”
Ellinor frowned, rubbing the spot on her forehead that stung a little. She wasn’t pleased
What was Theo implying? Was he mocking her?
“Theo, where’s the rope you were tied to when you came down? You can have the people up there pull us up one by one now!”
Theo tilted his head up, signaling her to look over there.
Following Theo’s gesture, Ellinor looked up to see the rope swinging in the wind dozens of meters above them.
Even if they stood on each other’s shoulders, they wouldn’t be able to reach it.
Feeling helpless, Ellinor suggested, “I think we should find a place to rest for now. Who knows how long it will take for them to find us? It’s going to be cold here at night.”
“Alright, Theo replied simply
As Ellinor walked ahead, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulders.
Turning her head, she saw that Theo had draped his coat over her
She was a bit taken aback.
“Thank you” She said politely
Theo didn’t say anything and just casually walked beside her.
They hadn’t gone far when they heard the bear start to whimper, like a weaned child.
Ellinor stopped, looked back, and then asked, “Theo, should we… take it with us?”
