Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 442 Shelter Themselves in a Cave

When Sydney saw such a scene, her face froze. She rushed to catch Julien.

As Julien was heavy, Sydney stumbled backward before she managed to stabilize her footing.

"Julien, how are you feeling?" Sydney asked worriedly as she held Julien's back.

Julien didn't answer. His eyes were closed, and his head rested on Sydney's shoulder as if he was asleep.

Sydney realized that Julien might have passed out.

He had suffered a severe blow to his head, and he kept feeling dizzy. He would have passed out sooner or later.

In such a condition, there was no way Julien could walk on his own now.

Sydney took a deep breath, turned around, put Julien's arms on her shoulders, and took him forward.

Sydney was walking toward the south.

Ahead of her was a thin forest. She should be out of the woods soon.

Once she was out of the woods, she might meet someone.

As Sydney walked forward with Julien, she turned her head to look at the man on her back, the look in her eyes determined." Julien, I'm going to get you out of here." Sydney then looked forward and continued on.

Every few yards, she would drop a strip of cloth as marks for anyone who came looking for them.

She had intended to tie the strips to the trees so they wouldn't be blown away when the wind came.

But she could only do that if Julien could walk on his own.

However, Julien could not walk by himself now. She needed to carry him on her back, so she couldn't tie the strips to the trees. She had no choice but to throw the strips on the ground. She could only hope tha the strips would not be blown away by the wind.

After a long time, Sydney was tired and exhausted. Suddenly, a thunderbolt rang out.

Sydney was so startled that her body trembled at it. Then she stopped and looked up at the sky.

The sky had darkened. Mass gloomy clouds shadowed over the mountain.

Thunder crashed one after another. It was so frightening.

It was going to rain! And it seemed to be a heavy rain!

When the idea occurred to Sydney, she felt so frustrated. Once it started raining, they couldn't walk on.

She was walking on the mountain path. If it rained, she could easily slip and fall down.

With Julien's condition, he definitely couldn't fall again.

Also, it was getting dark.

Sydney didn't know the exact time at the moment as her cell phone, watch, and other electronic devices were taken away by Burton's men when she was kidnapped. She didn't know where they put them. And Julien's cell phone was probably taken as well.

Otherwise, earlier at the lake, Julien would have called Zach. He would have done something. So Julien's phone should have been lost in the lake, or the phone could not work after getting soaked in the water. And Sydney couldn't put Julien on the ground right now to check his watch. She could roughly guess that it was around 6:00 or 7:00 in the evening.

It was dark and raining. They really shouldn't go any further. Sydney had to find a place to shelter themselves.

Otherwise, they were going to freeze to death in the night.

Sydney's clothes were completely wet, and she was freezing cold. But with Julien on her back, he warmed her up a bit, while Julien was on his own. He must be freezing by now!

But where were they going to shelter themselves and spend the night?

Sydney bit her lower lip and looked around. Luckily, she spotted a cave not far ahead.

"Great!" Sydney got cheered up at the sight of the cave. Her eyes instantly sparkled and glowed a color of excitement.

"Julien, we have a place to hide from the rain for the night." Sydney turned her head to the man on her back and exclaimed.

Then she took Julien quickly toward the cave.

Soon, they reached the cave.

Just as they entered the cave, it started raining heavily outside.

Sydney breathed a sigh of relief as she listened to the rain outside.

They were in luck. The rain did not start until after they entered the cave. God was blessing them.

Sydney had an involuntary smile at that thought. Then she looked around the cave, and she was shocked.

"Firewood, clothes, and cooking utensils?"

"And there is a pile of dry straw and two worn quilts."

"How come there is such stuff here?"

"Is this cave inhabited by a vagrant?"

"No, it shouldn't be. No vagrant lives in the mountain."

"And if this cave is inhabited by a vagrant, it should be messy, and there should be some cardboard, plastic bottles and etc., which are things that a vagrant might collect to sell for money."

But none of such stuff was found here. The cave was dry, with no trash. The quilts looked worn, but they were clean.

So the cave shouldn't be inhabited by a vagrant. Sydney didn't want to bother with the question of who lived in this cave anymore. She was too tired.

Now she just wanted to put Julien down and check the wound on his back.

Sydney took Julien to the pile of straw.

The straw was flat and evenly spread. It was supposed to be a bed.

Sydney placed Julien on the straw. She stretched her sore neck and body, and then she went to look for if there were any matches.

It was so cold. She had to make a fire to keep warm. Otherwise, it was going to be hard for them to live through the night.

And their clothes had to be baked dry, or they would get sick.

As Sydney was looking for matches, she noticed a thin layer of dust on the quilt and the utensils in the corner.

Sydney reached out her finger and wiped some dust off. She looked at the dust on her fingers in the dim dusk. Then she smiled.

"This is so great." She pinched the dust off her fingers.

Now she was sure that the person who had lived in the cave had been gone for some days. The dust was the proof.

Sydney sighed with relief.

It was so great that no one lived here. She was afraid that someone was living here and that when that person came back later, he would kick them out.

Also, she was afraid that the one who lived here was some kind of fugitive, which would be even more terrible.

But now that she was sure no one would be back later, she was relieved.

Sydney found a lighter. Then she put a pile of firewood in the ash area and lit the fire.

The firewood was dry and easy to light. Soon, the fire started blazing.

Sydney put a lot of firewood, and the fire was burning brightly. The light of the fire lit up the cave, which gave the cold cave a little warmth. It didn't look so cold anymore.

Sydney patted the dust off her hands and stood up. She walked away from the fire and walked to the quilt. She had found two sets of clothes next to the quilt. She was going to change into them for Julien and herself. They couldn't stay in wet clothes, or they would get a fever.

These were two sets of uniforms, one set larger and the other set smaller. They should belong to a man and a woman.

'So, there were two people living in the cave?'

Sydney picked up the man's uniform, unfolded it, and saw a label above the left breast pocket of the jacket. She got excited.

"The man is a forest ranger!" Sydney murmured.

It turned out that it wasn't any vagrant or fugitive who lived in the cave, but two forest rangers, which made Sydney so much relieved. Even if the two rangers came back, she didn't have to worry about being kicked out or any other danger.

Sydney took the larger uniform and returned to Julien's side. She sat down and touched Julien's forehead to see if he had a fever.

After she confirmed that Julien did not have a fever, she breathed a sigh of relief and started to change his clothes.
