EuropeNovelChapter 42: Not only did Allison recognize the strange feeling of familiarity, but Kellan also felt an unsettling
vibration.
As they dealt with the killer with precision, they couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong between
them.
The killer, cornered against the edge of the cliff, he hissed in frustration.
Damn! In his critical state, he desperately rushed towards Allison.
Already perched precariously on the edge of the slope, Allison lost her balance and swayed dangerously.
In an instant, Kellan leaped forward and grabbed her wrist.
Gotcha! Yet in the dark chaos, they both plummeted down the slope.
Allison felt Kellan's firm embrace around her waist, his arm protecting her head as they fell together.
Their descent slowed as they hit a tree and fell to the ground with a shocking impact.
Allison realized during the disorienting fall that Kellan had used his body as a shield to protect her.
When they stopped, Allison checked her wounds.
There were small cuts on his arm, but Kellan was much worse.
His forearms and legs were slashed, and the fall had left his right leg and arm fractured, as well as numerous
abrasions.

In intense but conscious pain, Kellan slowly opened his eyes and exclaimed, Help me.
"My right arm is dislocated.
" Allison moved quickly, snapping her arm back into place effectively.
Sweat glistened on Kellan's forehead as he watched Allison's every move.
Not only did he realign his dislocated shoulder, he also fixed his fractured fingers with a wince of pain.
She was tough and undeniably captivating, and handled her own wounds with great expertise.
Lean on this tree for now, Allison instructed calmly, removing her jacket to fashion it into makeshift bandages.
He turned the sleeves into a cushion for her head and wrapped a cloth around her arm to stem the bleeding.
After a quick inspection, he assessed the surroundings.
There is a cave nearby.
We need to get out of the rain before we catch a fever or worse.
Rain could cause body temperatures to plummet in the highlands, causing fevers and illnesses.
Okay, Kellan agreed, trying to get to his feet but receiving the gentle support from Allison.
With firm determination, Allison helped him to his feet and they headed towards the cave.
Inside, away from the incessant rain, they found ssolace.
Allison carefully placed Kellan against the stone wall of the cave.
He collected dry branches and quickly lit a fire to ward off the damp cold that clung to them.
As the fire crackled, she grabbed two sturdy branches.
“| tried to call for help,” Allison said, her voice calm but tense.
But there is no signal here because of the rain.
Emanuel will realize we're missing and send someone to look for us.
He gently adjusted Kellan's leg, speaking precisely.
This is not a dislocation.
It's a fracture.
I'll have to stabilize it to prevent further damage.
Kellan nodded, bearing the pain in silence.
His mind returned to the Allison he had met two years ago in the office: cold but too docile.
Then there was the Allison from the cruise ship bed, attractive and dominant, and now this Allison, an expert in
both pottery and medical treatments.
Which of these versions was the true one? Watching her skillfully dressing his wounds, he wondered how often
he found himself in situations So dangerous.

Allison stood up and patted him on the coat.
Wearing this will trap your body heat.
Letdry it for you.
Kellan obeyed, removing his shirt to reveal his well-defined muscles and a constellation of old scars on his
abdomen.
As Allison brushed off her wet clothes, a necklace fell from the folds: a pristine pearl with a encrusted with red
agate, shining even in the dim light.
Allison's eyes widened as she recognized it: the necklace she had lost that night.
For a moment, their gazes met.
They crossed.
Although they both tried to maintain their composure, the recognition was palpable.
The crackling of the fire cast its intertwined shadows on the cave wall, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere.
I'll dry the clothes, Allison said.
I'll add more firewood, Kellan replied.
They spoke simultaneously.
, and then they turned to look for something they could use as a weapon, each lost in thought as the storm
raged outside.
