Female Novel
Chapter 1207
The night gradually grew darker.
Above the valley, where the dense canopy of trees no longer obstructed the view, the deep blue night skystretched out, adorned with a brilliantly bright moon.
Despite the brightness of the moon and the sparse stars, the night in the mountains had a unique charm. Manytwinkling stars could still be seen.
After finishing her dinner, Neera decided to sit outside the tent, gazing dreamily at the night sky.
I wonder what my aunt and uncle are doing right now.
Are Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Jeremiah, and Aunt Nadine enjoying themselves on the small island?
Are the triplets behaving?
In quiet moments, one often missed their loved ones. Neera missed them dearly, so she reached for her phonewith the intention of sending them a message.
However, as soon as she took it out, she remembered that she was in the mountains where her phone couldn't geta signal.
Nevertheless, she still opened WhatsApp and scrolled through her previous chat history.
As she looked through her messages, her fingertips once again rested on Jean's name.
Upon opening the chat box, she saw that the messages were still from the day before she went into the mountains.
“No matter what happens, I'm here for you. Once you've figured things out, I'll come to see you.”
That man could clearly sense her unease over the phone.
So, he sent those words after hanging up.
Is he here...?
Subconsciously, she lifted her gaze, her eyes traveling past clusters of people resting here and there, finallysettling on the figure of Darcel.
Darcel also turned to look in her direction, as if he had sensed something.
Their eyes met. Although they were separated by a distance, their emotions were not clearly discernible to eachother.
Then, Neera saw him stand up and walk over, with Caleb following by his side.
“Ms. Garcia, you should rest early when you get a chance. Try to sleep if you can. We don't know when a surpriseattack might happen at night, and it's not good to keep waiting.”
Neera stood up, brushing off the dirt from her clothes.
“I don't think I'll be able to sleep. The thought of what's going to happen tonight keeps me awake. I'll stick withShane later, and I'll try my best not to cause any trouble for all of you.”
She knew that in the face of such violent conflicts, she was mostly useless. All she could do was try her best notto cause them any trouble.
Caleb raised an eyebrow. His casual demeanor did not suggest that anything significant was about to happen.
“Ms. Garcia, you shouldn't think of yourself as a burden. If someone gets injured, they'll need your help fortreatment.”
Neera chuckled helplessly. “Although you're right, I'd rather not be needed in such situations. It's best if everyonecould avoid getting hurt.”
Caleb smiled faintly. “I've just discussed with Mr. Gordon to have him and Darcel protect you together.”
Neera paused slightly, glanced at Darcel, and hesitated. “Having Shane should be enough, right? We probablydon't need to bother Darcel...”
“It's safer this way,” Caleb insisted, “The people following us are mainly after you and me. Without a leader, thisfamily won't have a reason to fight, so it's better to have more people protecting you.”
Neera felt a bit embarrassed. “I'm really sorry... I can't be of much help and always seem to be holding youback...”
At this moment, Darcel spoke calmly, “No, tonight, after they fall into the water, you can use stealth weapons tocatch them off guard. I will assist you then.”
Upon hearing this, Neera's eyes lit up. “Really? Can I do that too?”
Looking at the sparkle in her round eyes, Darcel felt a hint of amusement but managed to hold back his laughter.He pursed his lips and nodded. “Hmm.”
With this, the burden in Neera's heart finally felt a bit lighter.
“Great! I will definitely do my best to help all of you!”
She had a serious look on her face, as if she had been entrusted with an important mission.
Seeing her like this, Darcel really wanted to ruffle her hair.
...
In the early hours, the campsite was enveloped in silence.
Everyone was awake, holding their breath in anticipation of the imminent surprise attack.
As expected, the group of people thought they had gone unnoticed. They had been lying in ambush in the nearbydense forest for quite some time. Now, they finally found their opportunity and swiftly moved towards the camp.
Upon closer inspection, they realized that no one was on guard.
This took them by surprise.

in the valley behind the camp.
