Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 70

Egbert Reed grabbed the biscuits and water, starting to munch in silence.

His appetite wasn’t much; he only had three biscuits and a small sip of water.

Seeing that the food consumption wasn’t much, Eileen Lopez relaxed a bit. She put the remaining food back into her bag, then asked him, “Got a sleeping bag?”

Egbert replied, “Nope.”

Eileen looked at him, all empty-handed and all, a bit disdainful, but she still dug out Elaine Lopez’s sleeping bag from her backpack and threw it at him, saying, “You’ll sleep in here,” and referring to the twig tent.

Egbert took the sleeping bag and looked at her.

Seeing him standing there, not moving, Eileen frowned, “Sleep when I tell you to sleep! What if you get sick again? Don’t you know you’re weak? How long were you ill last time? Have you forgotten? A whole twelve hours! Wasn’t it me taking care of you?”

Egbert thought back to that time and said helplessly, “That was an accident…”

“I don’t care if it was an accident; go in and sleep!” Eileen ordered.

Egbert just grinned and went into the twig tent with the sleeping bag.

Eileen took out her own sleeping bag, crawled in, and sat near the fire. She asked while warming herself, “What’s your plan for tomorrow?”

Egbert paused, then said, “Since we’re both team-less, why don’t we stick together?”

Eileen looked at the sky and snorted, “You want me to protect you?”

Egbert couldn’t help but laugh, then said softly, “If you say so.”

Eileen turned her head to him suddenly and said, “Then say something nice to make me feel good.”

Egbert was startled, then said in a coquettish manner, “You’re the best. Please promise to protect me.”

Eileen laughed, “Alright, since you said so, I’ll do you this favor.”

She then crawled into her sleeping bag, laid down, and said, “It’s bedtime now.”

Egbert sat in the twig tent, watching the lonely girl by the fire. The smile in his eyes never faded.

The next day, dawn was breaking.
