Chapter 612: Who Pushed Me?
"What do we do? We can’t find the way back, and there’s no signal on our phones! No wonder no one comes to this temple anymore—this place is way too easy to get lost in!" Autumn cried out anxiously.
Aurora remained calm, taking in the surroundings. The towering trees blocked most of the sunlight, and the scenery had an ancient, almost solemn atmosphere.
She had never seen anything like this in her twenty-six years, so she reassured herself—it was a price to pay. If she wanted to see something beautiful, she had to accept getting lost along the way.
"Let’s not panic. We should stay put and wait. The director will come looking for us," Aurora said as she casually sat on a large rock nearby.
Everyone was exhausted from walking and took the chance to rest, but Autumn was restless. "Stay here and wait? What if... there are wild animals? That would be terrifying!"
"There aren’t any wild animals here. It’s not a jungle. I’ve been staying at my Grandma Carter’s place for a while, and I’ve never heard of any large beasts roaming around," Brown said coolly.
With that reassurance, the group agreed to wait. Caroline, however, was visibly irritated, pacing back and forth. "Ugh, what now? I’m thirsty and hungry, and I ran out of water."
Autumn quickly handed her a bottle. "Here, take mine."
Caroline was surprised for a moment but quickly understood. Autumn had always treated her like a servant back at the villa. And now, suddenly acting like a friend? It was obvious—she was just putting on a show for Brown.
Caroline shook her head. "No thanks. Keep it for yourself. I can manage."
Aurora silently pulled an unopened bottle from her backpack and handed it to Caroline. "Take it. I brought two."
