Chapter 602: Eve of the Storm

The night seemed exceptionally long.
Mei Shu ran a fever during the latter part of the night, sleeping very restlessly.
Feng Wei dozed off beside her, gradually waking up to find the person next to her feeling unusually hot.
She was startled and quickly shook Jiang Hai awake. “What should we do? We don’t have any medicine!”
Jiang Hai frowned, suppressing his sleepiness, testing Mei Shu’s temperature. “Take off your jacket and cover her with it. Wet the vest you’re wearing and use it to cool her forehead.”
“Are you trying to kill me?” Feng Wei retorted quickly.
She realized her mistake only after she spoke, hastily taking off her clothes and following Jiang Hal’s instructions. By the time Mei Shu was settled, Feng Wei was drenched in sweat, feeling less cold than before.
She leaned against the fire pit, mustering up the courage to talk to Jiang Hai. “Why didn’t you just kill me on the boat? Why did you agree to take me along to escape?”
Jiang Hai glanced at her, his tone cold. “Master Si wants your life, so you must stay alive now.”
Feng Wei immediately shut her mouth.
She thought that she would hear a slightly warm answer, but on careful thought, such an answer seemed to fit his setting.
This person gave him the feeling that he was cold and without any warmth. Of course, the words coming out of his mouth would only make people feel bone-chilling.
“I truly regret what I did. I’m helping take care of Mei Shu now, aren’t I? Can’t you spare me this time, considering my repentance? After all, it wasn’t me but…”
Before she could finish, Jiang Hai shot her a fierce glare, causing Feng Wei to swallow her words and mutter, “Whether 1 die early or late, I’ll still die. But dying at your hands is better than being abused by those people. I just haven’t had the chance to get revenge on Mei Cheng yet, and 1 feel somewhat unwilling!”
“You talk too much.” Jiang Hai impatiently looked at her. “If you wake Mei Shu up, go outside!”
This time, Feng Wei finally quieted down obediently.
Throughout the night, she was forced by Jiang Hai to keep shuttling back and forth to the beach to wash the vest. By dawn, Mei Shu’s fever finally subsided.
Feng Wei slumped against the wall, too tired to speak a word. Even moving felt like her body was falling apart.
As the first rays of morning light streamed in, Mei Shu finally woke up in a daze.
Jiang Hai’s tense heart finally relaxed upon seeing her awake. As she attempted to get up, he quickly pressed her back down. “Don’t move yet. You had a fever last night, so you must rest properly today. We don’t know how long we’ll be here, and if you keep getting sick, your wounds might worsen.”
Mei Shu understood the seriousness of the situation.
She obediently lay back down and took the item that had been heated by her own body off her forehead, hesitating. “Is this Feng Wei’s clothing?”
Jiang Hai replied indifferently, “1 woke her up to change your medicine.”
With that, he didn’t hesitate and went straight to Feng Wei, kicking her leg.
Startled awake, Feng Wei instinctively screamed, then realized they were now taking shelter in a cave, not on the ship where lives were at stake.
“What’s going on?” She had just woken up and was evidently confused.
Jiang Hai said expressionlessly, “Go get the herbs from yesterday to change Mei Shu’s medicine.”
So, her life was spared only for the convenience of taking care of Mei Shu!
Feng Wei gritted her teeth in hatred. But being in such a situation, and feeling a bit guilty, she couldn’t retort. She got up obediently and did as she was told.
Jiang Hai went out of the cave, to gather food for the three of them.
Luckily, he had prior experience surviving in the wild, knowing what could be eaten and what couldn’t. After Feng Wei helped Mei Shu change her medicine, he returned with plenty of food.
The three of them ate hastily, and as Mei Shu felt a bit better, she leaned against the stone wall, handing her clothes back to Jiang Hai. “You should wear these. With so much sweat on your body, you’ll easily catch a cold if you’re exposed to the wind. I’m fine now, but I can’t take care of both of you at the same time. If you fall ill, we might all be in trouble.”
Jiang Hai assessed her condition and accepted the clothes, wearing them.
Feng Wei had already dried her vest by the fire and now felt like taking another nap in her warm clothes.
However, Mei Shu unexpectedly spoke up, “We’d better not all fall asleep. You both had a hard night yesterday, so it’s your turn to rest. I’ll keep watch outside.”
“Master Si will probably come soon.”
Jiang Hai wanted to remind her not to be too nervous.
In his view, Lu Si might not arrive later than the other group, and by now, Si was probably aware that Miss Su was behind it all. He would surely find ways to pressure her so she couldn’t continue chasing after them.
But Mei Shu knew very well that a fierce battle was about to unfold..
