My Mysterious Husband

"I've got her baby. She won't run away." Gavin said with confidence. The baby is Venus's biggest weakness. She would die before letting anything happen to her baby.

Gavin was right. Venus just went to wash her hands. While standing by the stream, she couldn't help but recall the scene in the cave. She got chilly on her back, and felt as if a pair of dark eyes were staring at her.

After she hurried back to join Gavin's team, she felt much more at ease. Although Gavin and his subordinates were not good people, they were at least human beings.

Alisa couldn't stand Venus's frail and timid look and satirized her, "You look like you've seen a ghost. Are you that scared?"

Venus didn't refute but admitted, "I'm not like you who have lived a life of fighting and killing, and got used to seeing people die all the time. I just lead an ordinary life. Of course I'm afraid."

Alisa snorted in contempt and didn't say anything. The slight affection and sympathy she once had for Venus had completely disappeared since the night Venus drugged her.

After having enough sleep, the baby woke up slowly. Seeing that it was Gavin who was holding him, he rubbed his eyes and stretched out arms to ask his mother for a hug.

Venus put her hands behind her back and said with a gentle smile, "Mommy can't hug you now. Let uncle hold you first, okay?" Even though she had washed her hands, her whole body still smelled. Moreover, so many bats had flied past her. What if some bacteria got stuck in her clothes?

When Gavin heard the word "uncle," his expression softened a little. He thought to himself, Venus was really good at giving out tasks. She didn't even ask for his permission before tasking him with the job of taking care of the baby.

The baby seemed to have understood what Venus said. He looked at Gavin with big eyes, and meekly put his little head against Gavin's chest, as if he was still a little sleepy.

Gavin looked down at the baby and sighed warmly in his heart. It seemed that he had no choice but to take care of this little fella.

Alisa found this scene a bit harsh, so she turned her head coldly to look at the cave. She was more and more confused by Gavin's attitude toward Venus and her baby. He could do very bad things to her. For example, he asked her to go in the cave alone. But sometimes he could also be very tolerant. Last time when Venus drugged her and escaped, Heng Zhang told her that Gavin didn't say anything, let alone punishment.

What was Gavin thinking? Alisa felt so strange.

Ten minutes later, Heng Zhang and two other subordinates came out in a mess, followed by countless bats. The bats didn't return until they were driven out of the cave.

"What's in there?" Mr. Cai rushed up to ask. Since Gavin was holding the baby, he did

They gasped heavily. After they finally calmed down, Heng Zhang said, "There are many skeletons inside, and they are scattered everywhere. There are also many machetes, long swords and so on. Going further, we found several coffins which has been opened.
