This made both Aimee and Patrick very distressed.
The people in Veggia was still full of hostility towards them. Except, according to the request of the village head, three meals were regularly delivered to them, at other times, they hardly treated them nice.
Aimee and Patrick were also very helpless about this, but as time passed, they got used to it.
What can they ask for?
Now that they were under someone else’s home, there was no reason not to be obedient.
However, the two of them didn’t eat Veggia’s food.
They still had this kind of defensiveness. Here, anywhere, they had to be extra cautious. Even when they were sleeping, the two of them took turns.
However, Patrick was powerless about this.
He really wanted Aimee to have more time to sleep.
However, in terms of sleep, he really can’t compete with Aimee.
Every time he wanted to stay with Aimee for a while, Aimee will say, “Darling, you have to rest well, so that it will be more convenient later.”
Patrick also understood what Aimee meant.
Now was not the time for him to display gallantry. Only he had a good rest did he not drag her down.
However, he really felt sorry for Aimee who paid much more than him for this trip.
After coaxing Patrick to fall asleep, Aimee quietly packed her backpack.
The food they brought was running low, and the pills that could restore energy quickly were running low too.
If they continued to stay in Veggia, it will not be a good thing for both of them.
Aimee was a little worried. In the current situation, it was not easy to rush out.
On the fourth day, Lorenzo suddenly called them back to the same room as the first day.
However, after they entered the room, Lorenzo did not speak for a long time, just watching them quietly.
Aimee and Patrick did not speak out in a hurry, but were going to observe what he wanted to do, and then decide what attitude they would use.
Finally, Lorenzo said, “It seems that the two of you are not happy in Veggia.”
Aimee nor Patrick made a sound, and their expressions didn’t change in any way, as if they didn’t understand what he said.
Lorenzo expected their reaction, so he didn’t continue talking.
He turned around and took out a box from the cabinet, handed it to Aimee, and said, “This is the only thing I can do for her.”
Aimee looked at the box, and didn’t rush to open it, but thought about what it was.
Lorenzo said, “You put this thing in her heart, and this medicine will automatically enter her body, devouring the special poison in her body.”
Aimee didn’t feel any joy about it.
She already understood this meaning very well. This was not a perfect solution, but just using one poison to suppress another poison to prolong Sophie’s life.
However, the pain that this new poison will bring was another matter, which may be completely unimaginable.
Aimee said, “That is to say, after taking this thing back, what happens to her depends on her destiny.”
It can be said that this was very impolite to say that.
In addition, Aimee’s tone of voice when she said this was very cold. If someone else heard it, he or she would probably be intimidated by her.
However, Lorenzo just sat indifferently across from them and didn’t say anything more, not even a single explanation.
This made Aimee even more angry.
However, she didn’t vent to Lorenzo, but suddenly felt very meaningless.
Lorenzo didn’t even care about his own daughter. She was just an outsider. What else did she have to worry about?
Aimee picked up the small box and put it in her pocket. She didn’t want to say a word to Lorenzo, and didn’t want to stay in the same room with him for a moment.
Just when Aimee was pulling Patrick to leave, she heard Lorenzo say, “Pack up. I’ll ask someone to send you away later.”
Aimee and Patrick stood still, and turned their heads to look at Lorenzo.
Lorenzo said, “I think, if I don’t send you away, you will find time to escape.”
Aimee nor Patrick spoke. In fact, it was exactly as what he said.
It was impossible for the two of them to stay here forever.
There was no way to control them here.
In particular, after Aimee cleared their rations, they became more certain that they would leave as soon as possible.
Otherwise, they will have to eat Veggia’s food.
At that time, there may really be no way to prevent the danger.
However, what Aimee didn’t expect was that Lorenzo would take the initiative to let them leave.
That being the case, Aimee and Patrick naturally didn’t have any hesitations, and were ready to leave almost immediately.
Lorenzo wanted to say something more, but didn’t in the end.
Letting them leave as they were was already the biggest concession he can make.
As for the others, he wasn’t going to say anything more to them.
After Aimee and Patrick went back to the room, there was actually nothing to be packed up. They just took their own backpacks. After that, there was nothing else.
After staying here for so many days, the two of them still hadn’t shown their true faces. Even, the two of them just brushed their teeth and didn’t even wash their faces.
Now that they were finally about to leave, both of them agreed that when they returned to the city, they must take a good bath first.
However, now was not the time to think about these things. Everything will have to wait until they left
Veggia first.
Aimee and Patrick were told that they could be sent away when it was dark.
Such a point in time was actually not friendly.
However, the two can understand that the reason why Veggia was mysterious was that it cannot let outsiders know how they got here.
If they were sent out during the day, it would be easy for them to remember what route they were taking.
This was absolutely not allowed to happen by the people of Veggia.
However, they didn’t know that such a defense would have no effect on Aimee, because her vision at night would not be affected at all.
She did indeed memorize the route silently, just in case.
However, the person sent by the village head to send them away didn’t actually follow them all the time.
After sending them halfway up the mountain, he said, “Go the rest of the way by yourself.”
After speaking, he left without looking back.
Aimee and Patrick glanced at each other, but didn’t stop him.
Although, in the current situation, letting the two of them go down the mountain alone was almost equivalent to sending them to death, if it were someone else, he or she might directly die halfway up the road.
However, for the two of them, it was relatively easy.
After confirming that the person had left and would not return, Aimee and Patrick took out the hard hats they were wearing before from the backpacks.
And then they illuminated the surroundings and observed the road conditions.
What made them more helpless was that the current situation was more dangerous than they expected.
The so-called climbing up a mountain was easy, but going down was difficult. This was already the case for mountains with stairs, not to mention that what they needed to face was this kind of barren mountain.
It was almost impossible to go down the mountain from here just using their climbing tools.
Aimee was a little speechless. No wonder the person who sent them away was gloating when he left just now.
In particular, during these few days, they didn’t treat them friendly at all, but just now, he actually smiled at them.
The reason behind this was naturally self-evident.
He firmly believed that even if they were sent out of Veggia, they would not be able to leave alive.
This made Aimee and Patrick dumbfounded.
Aimee looked up at Patrick and asked, “Darling, what should we do now?”
Patrick said, “It’s really not suitable for action at night. Let’s just wait here for dawn.”
Aimee nodded, but said again, “But, darling, it will take at least five hours until dawn. The temperature will only get lower and lower. We may be frozen to death here.”
Patrick also thought about this question.
However, the two of them didn’t bring many clothes, and those that could keep out the cold had already been worn on their bodies.
In the current situation, if they wanted to keep warm, they can only rely on themselves.
Patrick held Aimee in his arms and said, “I won’t let you freeze.”
Aimee poked her head out of Patrick’s arms, smiling brightly.
