Chapter 114 I Can Not Escape Your Destiny
At that critical moment, a veteran ran forward to catch Rachel. He reacted so quickly that he got there
first and he did catch her.
However, his grasp wasn't very tight. Fortunately when he caught Rachel, she had the chance to claw
out and get a grasp of the weeds over the edge of the cliff and stopped herself from falling.
All this happened within several seconds just before Hiram got to the scene. Daniel, Carl and the
others all ran towards Rachel as soon as they heard the screaming.
Rachel was so scared that she couldn't pull herself up. She had to be hoisted up by the veteran. Her
face was so pale and she was so frightened that she hugged Hiram tightly and did not let go. She held
on to him trembling.
She did not dare to wonder if she had fallen down, would she have definitely been reduced to a
mangled carcass?
"What the hell happened? Were you going to scare me to death? Do you know what you did just now?"
Hiram scolded her because he was also so scared. Hiram was not less frightened than her. He cuddled
her with his strong arms tightly, his heart beating fast and his knees weakened.
Fortunately, the veterans were all from the special forces and he had paid a high price for them. He had
made a wise choice as they had delivered the qualities required for this dangerous expedition.
"Had I known this earlier, I would not have let you come with us, " Hiram said. Hiram was kind of hating
himself for being too indecisive. He was not supposed to let her come, but he could not help it when
she begged him so convincingly.
Jill standing beside them started to cry and said, "Ms. Ruan, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault that I did not
catch you." Jill seemed very frightened and could not stop crying.
Rachel put her arms on Hiram's waist tightly. She was too frightened to loosen her hands from him.
She was unable to bear such a fright that she almost forgot how to breathe properly.
Daniel squatted down and patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, thank God you're safe now.
From now on, be more careful and don't ever go near the edge of the cliff again."
"That's right, Rachel. You almost scared me to death as well. Don't ever go near the edge of the cliff. If
you want to take a rest, take it far away from the cliff." Carl beat on his own chest and sighed in relief.
But there was still a lingering fear.
Chad also let out a sigh of relief. Gary who was setting the fire rack far away when the scene
happened, also wiped the sweat from his brow. At that moment, almost everyone was frightened.
Hiram embraced Rachel, whose face was almost as pale as paper. And then he glanced coldly at Jill,
who sat on the ground crying, and said, "You should be glad that she's okay! Otherwise, I would not
only end the cooperation of this program, but also have you buried with her!"
Although he hadn't seen what exactly happened, if anything happened to Rachel, Jill had to take
responsibility for it, whether she was guilty or not.
Shortly after, the tents were set up far from the cliff. Hiram carried Rachel into the tent to let her take a
rest first. After all, she had gotten weak after the near-accident.
Hiram didn't leave Rachel until she fell asleep. As soon as he came out of the tent, Daniel waved to
him, motioning him to come over.
What just happened a moment ago was probably already forgotten by the team. However, the scene
happened to have been recorded by the unmanned aerial vehicle. Not surprisingly, everything was
clearly shot.
Hiram walked over, sitting with Daniel in front of the display screen of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
Daniel did not say anything but showed Hiram one of the video clips which happened to be shot when
he was trying to inspect the surrounding terrain using the unmanned aerial vehicle.
Hiram's dim eyes looked at the screen and did not say a word from beginning to the end. But his
eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper and his hands slowly clenched into fists.
Soon, night time came with nothing else special happening.
Everyone took turns guarding and resting in the same order as the previous night.
However, Rachel came out of the tent in the middle of the night. After being through such a
traumatizing experience just a few hours earlier, how could she sleep peacefully with Jill in the same
tent?
Outside the tent, Hiram was standing, keeping guard of the camp. When he saw her walk out, he went
to her.
Hiram took Rachel back to his tent where Daniel volunteered to go and join Carl, Chad and Gary in
another tent. They also couldn't fall asleep that night.
Hiram pulled the zipper up, turned around and drew Rachel into his arms. He said in a very serious
tone, "I know what happened. I have seen everything. It was Jill who pushed you, otherwise you would
not have slipped and fallen."
At that moment, Rachel went dizzy as she stood up, but she stabilized herself.
Just after Rachel found her feet, Jill got closer to her to help hold her. However, instead of holding her,
she pushed her.
Rachel was pushed right at the moment when she was about to steady herself, so that she could not
control herself from falling. Fortunately the veteran caught her in time, otherwise she would have
definitely fallen into the deep ravine.
Rachel lay herself into Hiram's chest, and thinking of that, she could not help but pour out all her
disappointment on him and said, "You know, even if she deliberately tried to seduce you, I didn't care. I
can let that go, but... This time what she had done to me, is really unacceptable."
She knew that Jill slept naked every night on purpose attempting to seduce Hiram and she could
tolerate that because she knew Hiram well. He loved her and would never be easily swayed by
something so shallow.
However, she had never expected that Jill could do something like that. She was already trying to kill
her. How could she let that go unaccounted for?
Hiram gently stroked her hair and said in a low voice, "I agree. I can't let her do anything to harm you
either."
But what he needed was a reason to drive her away.
Jill was trying her best to seduce Hiram all the way which had reached the end of his rope. Especially
for what she had done to Rachel, this time she had really pushed him to his limit.
"But you don't have to worry about her any more. She will go back by herself tomorrow." Hiram said
with a plan in his mind. Since she had been trying so hard to seduce men, why not help her to make it
come true, Hiram thought.
When Hiram said that Jill would go back herself, it confused Rachel. She pushed away Hiram as she
looked at him and wondered.
Would that be possible? Rachel thought over and over, however, she still could not figure out how.
Meanwhile, outside...
In the other tent, the four men were sitting around in a circle.
"Leave me alone, Daniel. I haven't got a girlfriend yet. I don't want my innocence to be destroyed for
her." Carl shook his head immediately when Daniel suggested that he take the mission. He swore to
himself to never touch that kind of woman ever.
Then Daniel looked at Gary and said, "Gary, you must have been living without a woman for quite a
long time. How about you taking the mission?"
Gary waved his hands immediately and smiled guiltily. "Daniel, you are certainly the best choice. You
are very skilled and what's more, your physique is almost the same as Hiram. Look at me... I'm so fat
that she would figure it out as soon as she touches me, " Gary pointed out.
"Right. Right. Daniel we are all very clear about who she was trying to seduce. Your figure is the most
similar to her target. So it's better that you take the mission. Take it and don't let down that beauty's
'kindness'.' Chad said with a joke. He had a girlfriend already who was very loyal and sensible. They
loved each other. How could he fail her?
Daniel could not help but laugh. "To be honest, she is not the kind of woman that I am interested in.
Sometimes I want to take advantage of her in my mind but I have never thought of doing that kind of
thing with her, " he said with much reluctance.
The other three men looked at him contemptuously at the same time and waved to him, "Go! Go! Go
quickly! You're the best man among us. Anyway it's not appropriate that we send Murphy or that
engineer to do that."
They were way too old to be tortured any more.
Finally Daniel was pushed out of the tent by others to fulfill the mission.
When he got to Jill's tent, he did not go right in. He paced back and forth outside for a short while.
Thinking it over momentarily, he told himself, "well, I guess I just can't escape my destiny." Finally he
convinced himself to go in.
The moment when he went in, everyone turned off the lights supportively.
Daniel was kind of worried about getting recognized at first. But as soon as he lay on the bed, he was
immediately entangled in the arms of someone inside, who moved like an octopus. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
The night was so deeply dark that one could not even see the hand in front. So as the two people were
entangled in bed, no one could clearly see the other.
The next morning, Everyone was woken by the echoing screams of Jill.
"How could it be you?" Jill shrieked and covered herself with the quilt. She was not expecting to see
Daniel in front of her, especially not both of them naked. Although he was also good looking and had an
attractive build, he would never be able to measure up to Hiram.
"Last night when I came into this tent I realized that I went to the wrong one. I was about to leave but
you grabbed me and entangled me in your embrace really quickly. I tried to pull off but I could not."
Daniel was bare-chested. He shrugged his shoulders and said innocently. And then he began to get
dressed.
He explained to himself that since some one had sent him a fat meat, even though it might be a little
greasy, he just couldn't refuse it.
"No! It should not be you." Jill could not imagine that he was the man whom she worked on so hard all
night.
Daniel put on his clothes and looked at Jill with a scornful smile and said, "Jill, you gave yourself to me
last night on your own, even though you didn't know that it was me. I did not force you into anything.
Now if you call out for wrongdoing, should I call out the same?"
After that, he put on his shoes and walked out of the tent.
As soon as he came out, Chad was already waiting and pulled him aside to where the group was
gathered, waiting for his 'report'.
"Awesome Daniel! I didn't think you'd pull it off but you did! The movements and sounds were so
intense last night that they really made us want to find a crack to drill in!"
"I agree. Daniel, I will be always admiring you from now and into the future!" Gary snuggled to Daniel
and said with naughty giggle.
Rachel and Hiram also walked towards them.
The noises they made last night were so loud that Rachel also heard them all. She was confused with
who the man was. But now when she saw Daniel surrounded by the team, she knew he was the hero.
Hiram also laughed in a low voice and said playfully, "Daniel when we go back, I will draw you a bonus
for this project which will be counted as your hard fee."
"Yo, Daniel. Congratulations on your good fortune in the love department. I think you really had an
explosive night." Rachel said to him, smiling.
When they were all laughing, Daniel laughed bitterly and said, "Stop kidding me. I really don't like the
noises she made. It seemed like she were forcing me to do that despite her poor skills. It was really a
hard job."
