Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 460

Forty minutes later From a distance, Shelia could be seen dragging something across the ground. She had one hand filled with a pile of fruits and the other holding what seemed to look like a tail.

After quite some time of walking, she finally stopped. Shelia wiped the sweat off of her forehead as her eyes drifted to the boy leaning against the tree.

 “I’m exhausted. Luckily, I didn’t get lost. Are you hungry, Van?” Victor did not go anywhere.

The truth was that, he was capable of walking nonstop for forty minutes.

However, he was completely clueless as to why he did not take his leave. 

Perhaps, he was too injured to walk. Victor tried to convince himself this was the reason he didn’t leave. His eyes followed the sweat dripping from her forehead before looking at what was behind her. 

From a distance, he couldn’t quite tell what she was dragging around.It was a dead wolf. The same exact one that Victor killed.

“Why did you bring that here?” Victor asked in confusion.

There was a smile on Shelia’s lips as she turned to get a glimpse of the dead wolf. 

“For food!”

“Food?”

“Yeah, but the thing is, I have no idea if would meat would be delicious. Still, it’s better than nothing. I’ve thought about it. We can’t always just eat fruits all the time. Besides, you need to eat something good in order to recover from your injuries. That’s why I went back to the place where you fainted last night to check if the wolves were still there.”

Exhaustion ran on Shelia’s nerves. After all, she had been walking for quite some time now. She picked up a fruit and took a generous bite of it. 

“I didn’t anticipate for them to still be there. Maybe God really is looking after us.” Victor’s eyes drifted from the dead wolf towards Shelia. 

Not a single word escaped his lips. The smell of the blood from his throat grew stronger. 

Suddenly, he felt suffocated. He had the urge to cough, but he knew very well that once he did, blood would come out of his mouth. Despite having rested the entire night, he still did not get better. He was barely able to hold on. 

There was a throbbing pain in his temples and his eyesight was so blurred that he could barely see anything. All he wanted to do was sleep. He was exhausted.

Shelia stood up and walked towards Victor. She put her hand against his forehead.

 “It’s so hot.” Victor felt how cool her hand was. 

Suddenly, a sense of comfort rushed into his heart. However, that moment did not last long since Shelia moved her hand away

 “You’re feverish,” Shelia said. 

Coming to his senses, Victor said, “I’m fine. I’ll be better once I get some rest.” 

Shelia’s lips formed into a straight line as her eyes drifted to the jar of water next to Victor’s hand. 

It seemed that he did not drink it at all. Her eyes focused on Victor’s lips. They were chapped and dry because of dehydration and blood loss.You’re not feeling well. Why don’t you drink some water?” Shelia couldn’t understand why Victor did not drink a single drop of water. 

For a while now, she had been holding her tongue because she knew that it was none of her business. However, seeing how uncomfortable he was, she could no longer keep her curiosity to herself. Victor raised his head a bit and looked into Shelia’s eyes.

Unable to hold their gaze, Shelia blinked her eyes a couple of times before finally looking away. She picked up the | jar of water, unscrewed the lid and took a sip.

 “I think it’s safe to drink.”

Victor did not expect what she did.

Before he could even react, Shelia handed him the jar.

 “Don’t you really want to drink? Even just a little? You should hydrate yourself now that you’re sick.”
