Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 862: We Will Definitely Make It Out...
Mark was angry at Arnold for not calling him when he encountered danger, and even angrier at himself for returning too late!
What made him even angrier was the words he heard from Arnold’s mouth the next second...
Though his temper had faded, Mark’s expression remained unpleasant.
He bandaged Arnold’s arm, but that was all he could do.
Without any herbs to stop the bleeding, Arnold’s arm was still bleeding, and the newly bandaged area was already stained red with blood.
Mark asked with a strained expression and concern, "Does it hurt?"
Arnold shook his head with a smile, "No, it doesn’t hurt."
"Liar!" Mark glared at Arnold, scooped him up in a princess carry, "Come on, I’m taking you to find some herbs to stop the bleeding!"
Arnold’s pale cheeks flushed, "Boss, I can walk on my own."
"Walk your ass, stay put! That’s an order!" Mark reprimanded Arnold.
Arnold immediately behaved, like a docile quail.
Seeing Arnold’s demeanor, Mark’s tone softened, "I didn’t mean to be harsh, it’s just..."
He didn’t finish explaining, stopping himself midway.
What had gotten into him?
In the past, he had been harsh to Arnold before, but never felt the need to explain, to...comfort her?
After thinking for a while, Mark felt that it was because Arnold was a girl, which made him soften his tone to explain, wanting to avoid seeing Arnold’s quail-like timid yet obedient expression.
Arnold looked towards Mark, awaiting his next words.
But after a long wait, there was no sound.
Just as Arnold wanted to ask something, Mark suddenly spoke, "Don’t worry, I promise I’ll never leave you alone again!"
Because of this sentence, Arnold forgot to ask the previous question.
Her heart raced as she looked towards Mark’s handsome face, silently asking in her heart, "Boss, will you really never leave me alone again?"
Watching Arnold’s eyes brimming with tears.
He nodded heavily, giving her the promise, "Yes."
Mark said nothing more, carrying Arnold and walking forward.
When they passed by the starving wolf that had bitten Arnold’s arm, Mark stopped, "Hold on, I have something to do."
Saying that, Mark placed Arnold on the ground, then pulled out the stick he had stabbed into the wolf’s abdomen and handed it to Arnold, "Hold this!"
Arnold reached out to take the stick, and then Mark stretched his hand to ask Arnold for the dagger, after which he used the dagger to remove the wolf’s two hind legs.
After binding the two wolf legs behind him, Mark picked Arnold up again, "Let’s find the herbs to stop the bleeding first, then we’ll roast these legs to eat later."
...
Mark carried Arnold to the place where he had previously picked wild fruit because he had once seen herbs that could stop bleeding there.
After grinding the herbs into paste, Mark gently and carefully loosened the cloth on Arnold’s shoulder, speaking in an incredibly gentle voice, "Don’t hold back, if it hurts, just yell."
Due to the pain, Arnold’s body trembled slightly, her face turning pale.
Yet she didn’t show it, continuing to look at Mark with a smile, "Boss, it really doesn’t hurt."
Mark was extremely concerned but didn’t say anything further, just continued to lighten his touch.
After applying the herbs to the wound and re-bandaging Arnold, Mark picked up the wild fruits he had previously gathered but had scattered due to the sudden accident.
Mark picked up all the wild fruits on the ground, wrapped them in canvas and placed them on Arnold’s legs, "Arnold, here are some wild fruits, eat them first. I’m going to start a fire and roast those wolf legs."
Arnold nodded, "Okay."
Mark gathered some dry branches near Arnold and quickly lit a fire, roasting the two wolf legs until they were cooked.
Afterward, Mark used a knife to carve the meat from the wolf legs into pieces, keeping enough for him and Arnold, and packed the rest away.
Having eaten the wolf leg meat to quell hunger and the wild fruits to quench thirst, Mark climbed a tree to pick more fruit and packed them as well.
With these wolf legs and wild fruits, before leaving the forest, Mark and Arnold no longer had to worry or deliberately search for food and water sources.
After eating the wolf leg meat and wild fruit, Mark and Arnold continued to move through the forest.
They walked from day to night, encountering many dangers and surviving various perilous situations along the way.
By the campfire at night, the firelight reddening Arnold’s face, she looked at Mark and asked, "Boss, we’ve been here for two days now, will we be able to leave here tomorrow?"
Through the firelight, Mark looked at the forest that still seemed endless, "Yes, tomorrow we will definitely be able to leave here!"
After speaking, Mark looked at Arnold and continued, "And I believe our comrades are certainly trying to find us right now."
Mark was spot on.
Shortly after Mark and Arnold jumped from the helicopter, which exploded and crashed, the special forces realized something was wrong and immediately launched a rescue effort.
The special forces quickly arrived at the site of the helicopter accident to search, and not finding Mark and Arnold or their bodies, they split into two groups.
One group was tasked with escorting Kenny’s remaining subordinates back to base, while the other remained in the forest to expand the search area...
Unfortunately, this forest was too vast, and the special forces searching for Mark and Arnold in the forest took the opposite route.
This resulted in them not finding Mark and Arnold even now, and they might need even more time to find them.
Meanwhile, in a location far, far away from Mark and Arnold in the forest, a campfire was burning brightly.
Silas added dry wood to the fire pile, crying out mournfully, "Do you guys think the boss and Louise might really have met with trouble?"
"Shut up!" A heavyset subordinate of Mark spat vehemently, saying to Silas, "What nonsense are you talking about? Spit it out right now, the boss and Louise won’t be in trouble!"
"Psst, psst!" Silas obediently spat, then asked in confusion, "Then how come we haven’t found them yet if the boss and Louise are alright?"
"That’s simple, it proves we’ve gone the wrong way and missed them," the heavyset subordinate said casually while tearing off a piece of roast meat in his hand.
