Desires Die Hard (Anya and Evan) by Beryl Occam
Chapter 909

That Bloody Leaf

Gracie was looking for Micaela in the forest of plantains as she was calling. However, no matter how hard Gracie tried, she couldn't replace Micaela as Micaela had been buried in the soil.

After calling Micaela for a while, Gracie's voice got hoarse, and she felt pain in her throat.

She remained silent and kept walking ahead.

After walking for five minutes, she stopped to call Micaela again.

"Micaela, where are you? Please come out. We're looking for you," Gracie shouted.

Theo, who was not far away from Gracie, heard her voice. He instantly stood up under a plantain. He took out his knife alertly, saying coldly, "Let's avoid her first."

"Mr. Patel, she's putting her head on the block. Should we take the chance to kill her?" that man blurted out, who had killed Micaela.

But another strong man interrupted him. "Mr. Patel said we shouldn't catch Evan's attention.

"Give up your stupid thought."

"Got it. Mr. Patel, please forgive me," that man broke out of his trance and hurriedly apologized to Theo.

Theo didn't walk to answer those words. Instead, he said in a cold and low voice, "Destroy those steps. Let's go."

The two strong men instantly picked up their guns and dagger under a plantain and wiped off those steps. After that, they followed Theo to the deep of the forest of plantains.

But before they left, Theo threw a gaze at Gracie through leaves, who was looking for Micaela in some distance.

Theo thought, She's not as premature and thin as she was a couple of years ago.

She's beautiful and has good shape and wheat-color skin. She looks energetic as her brother to some degree.

As Theo watched Gracie in some distance, he recalled how Haris had killed his uncle on a thunder night.

He would never forget that night.

He remembered Haris had grabbed his uncle's neck with one hand and broke his neck.

Then Haris pricked his uncle's throat and let the blood bleed.

Haris was a mercenary. And he didn't need to kill his uncle and torture him without an order.

Theo couldn't figure it out. After staring at Gracie for a moment, Theo repressed his anger, withdrew his gaze, and got away with his subordinates.

They left in a hurry. And that man who had killed Micaela had forgotten to take away that plantain leaf that had some blood.

After a while, Gracie came over. She didn't replace Micaela's corpse, but she noticed the bloody plantain leaf at the corner of a tree.

Gracie subconsciously picked up the leaf, replaceing there was a large amount of blood on both sides of the leaf.

Some of these bloodstains were dry, and some were not.

It looked so scary.

Gracie instantly got alert and looked around. She didn't replace anything special, but she believed something must go wrong because of the bloody leaf.

She thought, This island is private, and no one knows it or comes here.

The blooding mustn't be from a stranger.

Is it Micaela's blood?

Gracie felt frightened and looked pale, thinking, "If it were true, Gracie must have had an accident."

So Gracie didn't dare stay there. Instead, she ran out of the dense forest of plantains fast with that plantain leaf.

As soon as she ran out of the woods, she took the bloody leaf to Edward. But Edward also wasn't sure if it was Micaela's blood.

And he said, "Gracie, don't meddle in it. I'll report it to Mr. Welton."

Gracie agreed and nodded.

Edward comforted Gracie for a while before taking the bloody leaf to Evan.

Evan was flirting with Anya after breakfast at that moment.

Hearing someone knocking at the door, Evan had to let Anya go to receive Edward.
