Rogue

Samson cast one final gaze at the bottom of the cliff, his eyes growing grim.

Eventually, he let out a silent sigh and turned away. He then took Meghan’s hand as they walked back.

Everything that transpired was written in Evangeline’s fate.

Despite Evangeline’s sharp instincts and formidable combat skills, she was pushed off the cliff by Meghan. Fate, it seemed, had its own script. sealing Evangeline’s destiny to meet her demise in this tragic moment.

About 12 feet beneath the cliff, a cave carved into the rock awaited.

Sitting at the entrance of the cave, Evangeline listened as the sound of their footsteps diminished. A cold chuckle escaped her lips as she mused, “Wanted me dead? Too bad for them, I guess. Death was never in my cards. I don’t just go out that easily!

Evangeline was not oblivious to Meghan’s approaching menace. She had anticipated what Meghan was about to do.

She knew she would be pushed off the cliff, and giving Meghan the chance to throw her off was a deliberate move on Evangeline’s part. At the same time, it was a strategic plan for an escape.

Seated at the cliff’s edge long before their arrival, Evangeline meticulously assessed the surroundings below,

Even without the cave, the dense foliage of trees promised to break her fall.

The sounds reaching Samson and Meghan were the echoes of the stones she had tossed down.

Giving Meghan the chance to push her off the cliff was a calculated plan to expose Meghan’s true nature to the foolish Samion.

To Evangeline’s surprise, Samson proved to be so pathetically naive and easily swayed

Evangeline had severed ties with the Gallagher family, grateful not to have such a gullible brother. Otherwise, she would have been embarrassed to be associated with such foolishness

Regaining her composure, Evangeline ventured into the cave.

Finding herself bored and with time on her hands, Evangeline saw this as an adventure.

Night settled over the forest.

Jolene, Kendrick, and Travis waited anxiously, but Evangeline showed no sign of returning

Jolene kept her eyes fixed on the deep forest. “Evangeline is never this late. Why hasn’t she returned yet? She always comes back right after sunset. It’s almost dark now. Could something have happened to her?” she asked worriedly.

Travis said, “She’s good at fighting. Even the monkeys recognize her as their leader. She’ll be fine.”

Kendrick added, “Maybe she found an interesting spot and lost track of time. Let’s just give her a bit more time.

Meanwhile, Meghan and Samson sat nearby. Hearing their conversation, Meghan could not hold back a contemptuous smile.

They can wait all they want, but Evangeline’s never coming back!” she sneered within herself

Meghan took out the myrtle berries they had collected and shared them with Samson.

Looking at Jolene and the others, she declared with a smirk, “Without Evangeline, you all must be starving. I’ve got plenty here. Apologize for last nigla, and maybe I’ll share some with you.”

Jolene and the others cast her a glance, then turned their attention away, showing no intention of apologizing.

Meghan snored coldly. “Humph. We’ll see how long you can keep up the attitude

With E

Evangeline out of the picture now, Meglun figured it was only a matter of time before they came begging for her help.

She was in no hurry, after all.

Meanwhile, discussions erupted about Evangeline’s absence,

A commenter wrote: [Where is Evangeline? Where’d she got She wasn’t seen since she walked out of the shooting area in the morning. Where did she go?]

A netizen added: [Samson and Meghan moved with Evangeline earlier. The two of them came back, but not Evangeline. What’s going on!]

Another speculated: Could Meghan and Samson have killed Evangeline?)

A netizen quickly dismissed that idea. That’s impossible. Meghan and Samson are no formidable opponents for Evangeline. There’s no way they can beat her. Even with ten or more people, it’s no threat to Evangeline!]

Another asked: [What exactly happened to Evangeline! Did she encounter wild animals? Was she eaten by them!]

The production team did not expect anyone to delve so deep into the forest. There were no hidden cameras installed that far out, so no one knew where Evangeline had gone or saw Meghan pushing the former off a cliff.

Dallas had been initially impressed by the capabilities of this group of pampered celebrities venturing into half of the forest. As an extra precaution, cameras were strategically placed near the mountains behind the forest

However, Evangeline surpassed all expectations.

Had Dallas known she could roam so far, they would have installed cameras in more distant locations.

With Evangeline going beyond the filming location, today’s livestream saw a significant drop in viewership, from tens of millions to just hundreds of thousands of views.

Jolene and the others, who stood rooted to the ground, offered nothing interesting to watch.

The remaining viewers kept asking about Evangeline’s return to the filming locations

All those people were eagerly waiting for Evangeline to reappear.

Impatient viewers took to Twitter, creating trending topics that gained considerable traction. These posts urged those stationed at the filming locations to notify Dallas immediately if Evangeline appeared.

At this moment, Dallas, seeing Meghan and Samion returning without Evangeline, immediately contacted the crew members stationed in the

forest Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“You guys, go and find Evangeline. It’s been almost ten hours since she was last seen on camera. Find out where she went,” Dallas instructed. He was careful not to ask about what might have happened to Evangeline, not wanting his words to be some kind of jinx for her vanishing act “Huh?” Dallas suddenly muttered when he spotted a familiar figure on one of the camera feeds.

Evangeline, missing for almost ten hours, seemed to have returned unharmed.

Excitement trembled in Dallas‘ voice as he urgently exclaimed, “Stop the search. Evangeline has appeared! She’s back!”

I told you so! With her skills, even monkeys would be no match. Even a tiger would become a kitten around her someone exclaimed.

“You guys continue to patrol and protect the guests secretly. Don’t reveal yourselves unless it’s absolutely necessary!” Dallas instructed again.

With that, Dallas switched the large screen in the livestream to the scene where Evangeline appeared,

At this time, Evangeline was retracing the same path she had taken earlier in the day, eventually coming to a halt at the base of the mountain where the monkeys had claimed their territory.

It was too late to navigate through the forest, so instead of heading back to the filming locations, she chose to spend the night there.

The base of the mountain was blanketed with expansive turf. The scenery was also remarkable with its unobstructed view.

At the foot of the mountain, the air was refreshingly cool.

Setting her backpack down, Evangeline called out to the mountains, “Kingka, are you there?”

With a rustling noise, the monkey king’s roar echoed from the mountain. Howl!”

Soon, the monkeys went down the mountain and surrounded her.

Evangeline noticed a few missing from the troop, with some carrying injuries. The monkey king’s left elbow and its left forelimb hung at an odd angle, its hand clearly dislocated and distorted

“What happened? Why are you all in this state? Evangeline drowned, slightly upset by the sight of the monkey’s injury.

The monkeys chattered for a while, seemingly cager to tell her what had happened. Fury shone on their faces, though Evangeline struggled to grasp their communication fully.

“Were you attacked by other animals?” Evangeline wondered aloud, contemplating the wilderness as the only plausible explanation

Samson’s people could not have been the culprits.

His people were no match for the monkeys.

The monkey king nodded vigorously, confirming her speculation.

Evangeline then said, “It’s too late to deal with that today. Take me to them tomorrow. Come here. Let me see if I can treat your injuries.”

The monkey king’s eyes lit up for a second at that prospect.

As Evangeline sat on the ground, the monkey king obediently approached her.

She turned on a flashlight, and a nearby monkey held it for her, illuminating the injured hand of the monkey king.

She reached out and probed the monkey king’s left hand, causing it to cry out in pain repeatedly

After examining it for a moment, Evangeline made a swift motion

Crack!

With a sharp snap, the monkey king’s voice cut off sharply with a snap, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face. Glancing down at its left forelimb, it realized the hand had returned to normal shape.

The monkey kind tried to move its forelimb, and while it hurt a line, it was functioning again,

Ecstatic, the monkey king howled joyously, circling Evangeline as if to express gratitude.

The other monkeys joined in the celebration, their eyes filled with admiration as if witnessing miracle.

“Just a dislocation. I’ve reset it for you, Evangeline explained. “But take it easy for a while. No swinging from tree to tree, okay? Be cautious not to dislocate it again. Once it fully recovers, you can go back to doing whatever you want.

Whether or not it understood, the monkey king continued to howl in delight

Evangeline turned to the others. “Line up, injured ones. Let me take a look and lend a hand.”

The monkey king summoned the injured monkeys, and the monkeys, in an orderly fashion, lined up for Evangeline to check.

There were ten injured monkeys, each with varying degrees of injury.

Some of the monkeys had their checks slightly bitten, which would likely heal on their own.

Others, however, carried severe injuries across their bodies. One with a piece of skin bitten off, another missing half of its tail, and the others with deep bite wounds.

These larger wounds were slow to heal and prone to infection. The monkeys might succumb to their injuries if they were not carefully treated. One monkey was particularly worrisome, with its internal organs exposed from abdominal injury. Without urgent care, its fate seemed sealed. Evangeline’s expression turned serious as she commanded, “Injured ones, stay put. Kingka, bring some of them to me”

She stood up, and armed with a flashlight, she combed the mountain base, searching for herbs.

Not long after that, she picked some herbs. Evangeline handed them to the monkey king and said, “Find more of this for me! The monkey king sniffed and tasted the herb. The other monkeys did the same and then scattered to begin their search. The other monkeys then followed suit.

After about ten minutes, Evangeline and the monkeys returned with the herbs.

The monkeys laid the herbs before Evangeline. She examined them carefully and found that the herbs were all picked correctly. She gave the

the monkeys a thumbs up, complimenting, “You’re quite the clever bunch, huh! It didn’t take you much time to learn!”

11:45 AM

“Remember, if you get injured in the future, you can find these herbs. Just crush and apply them to your wound. It prevents infection. Even if infected, it can still work if not too severe, Evangeline instructed.

As she explained, Evangeline took down the pot which had been hanging on her bag pack. She then put the herbs in a pot and crushed them into a paste with a stone she had picked up from the ground,

After mashing the herbs, she applied them to the injured monkeys except for the one with an injured abdomen.

From her backpack, she pulled out a medical kit and a suturing needle.

When Evangeline walked over to the monkey with a wound on its abdomen, the little monkey shivered with fear.

Evangeline looked at the monkey king and said. “Find two strong monkeys to hold it down. Don’t let it move.”

“Make it four. One on each limb,” she added.

The monkey king swiftly assigned monkeys to restrain the injured one.

Evangeline disinfected its wound with iodine. Then, she took a needle and thread and began to stitch the wound.

Being in poor condition, Evangeline could only proceed with stitching the wound without anesthesia.

The monkey howled in piercing pain, but to prevent it from running away, the other monkeys forcefully pinned it down.

Evangeline’s hand acted quickly as she stitched over 20 sutures on the wound in a flash.

Then, she sterilized the wound and applied some medicine to it.

“Don’t move until the wound heals, or it will tear open again, she cautioned

As Evangeline packed up, she told the monkey king. “Send some to pick some fruits and fetch them to me. I don’t feel like making dinner tonight.”
