Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 460: Are You Worried

Forty minutes later From a distance, Shelia could be seen dragging something across the ground.She had one hand filled with a pile of fruits and the other holding what seemed to look like a tail.After quite some time of walking, she finally stopped. Shelia wiped the sweat off of her forehead asher eyes drifted to the boy leaning against the tree.

“I'm exhausted. Luckily, I didn't get lost. Are you hungry, Van?” Victor did not go anywhere.

The truth was that, he was capable of walking nonstop for forty minutes.

However, he was completely clueless as to why he did not take his leave.

Perhaps, he was too injured to walk. Victor tried to convince himself this was the reason he didn'tleave. His eyes followed the sweat dripping from her forehead before looking at what was behindher.

From a distance, he couldn't quite tell what she was dragging around.It was a dead wolf. The sameexact one that Victor killed.

“Why did you bring that here?” Victor asked in confusion.

There was a smile on Shelia“s lips as she turned to get a glimpse of the dead wolf.

“For food!"

“Food?”

"Yeah, but the thing is, I have no idea if would meat would be delicious. Still, it's better than nothing.I've thought about it. We can't always just eat fruits all the time. Besides, you need to eat somethinggood in order to recover from your injuries. That's why I went back to the place where you faintedlast night to check if the wolves were still there.”

Exhaustion ran on Shelia’s nerves. After all, she had been walking for quite some time now. Shepicked up a fruit and took a generous bite of it.

“I didn't anticipate for them to still be there. Maybe God really is looking after us.” Victor's eyesdrifted from the dead wolf towards Shelia.

Not a single word escaped his lips. The smell of the blood from his throat grew stronger.

Suddenly, he felt suffocated. He had the urge to cough, but he knew very well that once he did,blood would come out of his mouth. Despite having rested the entire night, he still did not getbetter. He was barely able to hold on.

There was a throbbing pain in his temples and his eyesight was so blurred that he could barely seeanything. All he wanted to do was sleep. He was exhausted.

Shelia stood up and walked towards Victor. She put her hand against his forehead.

“It's so hot.” Victor felt how cool her hand was.

Suddenly, a sense of comfort rushed into his heart. However, that moment did not last long sinceShelia moved her hand away

“You're feverish,” Shelia said.

Coming to his senses, Victor said, “I'm fine. I'll be better once I get some rest.”

Shelia’s lips formed into a straight line as her eyes drifted to the jar of water next to Victor's hand.It seemed that he did not drink it at all. Her eyes focused on Victor's lips. They were chapped anddry because of dehydration and blood loss.You're not feeling well. Why don't you drink somewater?” Shelia couldn't understand why Victor did not drink a single drop of water.

For a while now, she had been holding her tongue because she knew that it was none of herbusiness. However, seeing how uncomfortable he was, she could no longer keep her curiosity toherself. Victor raised his head a bit and looked into Shelia’s eyes.

Unable to hold their gaze, Shelia blinked her eyes a couple of times before finally looking away. Shepicked up the I jar of water, unscrewed the lid and took a sip.

“I think it's safe to drink.”

Victor did not expect what she did.

Before he could even react, Shelia handed him the jar.

“Don’t you really want to drink? Even just a little? You should hydrate yourself now that you're sick.”“Thank you,” Victor said as he took a sip.

The filtered water from the river felt cold as it flowed down his throat, washing away the smell ofblood in his mouth.

Raising her hand to block the sunlight from her line of sight, Shelia looked around.

“It's not even noon yet. Do you want to close your eyes and rest for a bit?” she asked. Indeed, Victorwas exhausted.

"What about you?” he asked as he put the jar of water down.

“Me? I'll be right here. I'll clean the wolf while I watch over you.”

Pointing at the wolf's carcass, Shelia added, “GO get some sleep. When you wake up, you'd finallybe able to enjoy some meat. We can leave when we're no longer hungry.”

There was silence in the air as Victor gazed at her. His eyes that seemed to pierce through her soulmade Shelia feel a little uncomfortable. Touching the tip of her nose, she asked, “What's wrong? Isthere something on my face?”

“Nothing. I'm going to sleep for a bit.” Victor's voice sounded hoarse.

“Alright. Ill wake you up once I've finished cooking.”

Suddenly, an idea occurred to him.

“If Norton really sent Shelia to kill me, why hasn't she done anything yet?’

Not too long after closing his eyes, Victor fell into a deep slumber. The wonderful smell of roastedmeat wafted through Victor's nostrils, waking him up. Slowly, he opened his eyes. His vision was stillblurred.

“Shelia,” he called out. As if on cue, Shelia looked back and walked over.

“I was about to wake you up but you already did before I could even come to you.” Victor's eyesshifted to the piece of roasted meat in her hand.

"You..." Before he could even finish his words, Shelia handed him the piece of meat and said, “Iroasted the meat. Give it a try. I marinated it with some fruit juice. It should taste good.”

Her face was flushed and covered with sweat because of the heat from the fire. Taking the piece ofroasted meat into his hand, Victor took a bite. It tasted quite off and was still a bit undercooked."What do you think?” Shelia asked. For a moment, Victor was silent. His eyes drifted to the cut onher hand. Instead of answering her question, he asked, “What happened to your hand?”

“Oh...I cut myself while I was chopping the meat,” Shelia answered as she looked at the wound onher hand. She didn't seem to care about it at allAgain, she asked, “How is it? Am I a good cook?” There was a hint of expectation in her voice. Victorcould not bring himself to tell her the truth.

“It is delicious,” he lied“That's great! I was afraid you wouldn't like it.”

Heaving a sigh of relief, Shelia continued, “I'll cook some more for you!"

After having some sleep, Victor felt a little invigorated.

He stood up and sat next to Shelia. There was a bonfire right in front of them. She used a dart topoke some holes into the meat and then used a branch as a skewer before roasting it over the fire.

“Van, you didn’t get lost, did you?” Shelia asked out of the blue.

Victor was taken by surprise.

“While you were asleep, I wanted to do something about your fever. I accidentally saw the woundson your body, Initially, I thought that your injuries were from your encounter with the wolves. Lateron, I realized that theydon’t you were beaten up. Plus, you didn’t want to drink the water I gaveyou.” Shelia turned around.

“Van, are your enemies hunting you down? You were worried that I was going to poison you so youdidn't drink the water, right?” Victor looked intently into her eyes.

One of his hands was behind his back, gripping on the knife he had hidden. with the gentle press ofhis thumb, the tip of the knife popped out.
