Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 474

Lance had his reservations about the people living here. He barely knew them so Lance had a hard time trusting them. His carelessness could cost him his life.

“Lance… Do you remember which way the river flows?” Gabrielle turned to look at him and asked. She wanted to know where the river led. It was the only way to confirm whether or not Rose really helped them out.

“If my memory serves me correctly, the river passes through the forest. I don’t remember much about the upstream but the downstream would lead to a big village.” Lance tried to remember the direction of the river.

In the past, he would come visit this place because he had a good relationship with Bain then. After all, he had been of great help to Bain. Bain was loyal and even treated Lance as his own brother. Lance could remember that there was a time when Bain took him to a bay downstream to go fishing. He told Lance that there was a village just outside the dense forest.

The residents of that village knew that the dense forest was Bain’s territory so they seldom passed by it. The people working for Bain never bothered their village either.

For so many years, the villagers and Bain had lived in peace and harmony.

“Lance, if we follow the downstream, it would lead to the village. Why did Rose put emphasis on the location of the river?” Gabrielle asked curiously.

“Gabrielle, leave it alone,” Lance replied, urging Gabrielle to put a stop to her words. He knew exactly what she was going to say.

He hid behind a grove just across from where they were. Not long after that, they heard a noise approach them. “They’re almost here. Don’t move,” Rose warned Gabrielle. “Rose… How did you end up here? How do you know Bain?” Gabrielle couldn’t help but ask. She knew her question was a little out there but she asked anyway.
