True Love Waits novel Chapter 1433

Whenever Boswell tried to take the other path, the bear would stop him. Eventually, the boy realized the animal wanted him to follow it.

Despite the fear of being eaten by the bear, Boswell followed it into the thick forest. He walked for a few minutes straight until he came across a dark cave. Its entrance was illuminated only by the moonlight. Noticing they were headed there, Boswell thought this should be where the bear lived.

After the animal walked inside, Boswell didn't dare to run away as he was afraid it might anger the bear. So he waited at the entrance.

A moment later, another bear crawled out of the cave. No, no, no. It was not a bear.

It was actually a human toddler dressed in rags. The child looked even younger than Boswell. With its long and messy hair, it was notorious that the kid had been living out in the woods for a long time.

Boswell also noticed its face was dirty, and its body was wrapped in a strange animal fur when it followed the bear out of the cave.

In the dark night, the child's big black eyes stared at Boswell curiously.

Although Boswell couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl, he was still excited to see another human. He tried to greet the toddler in front of him. "Hi!"

The toddler stared at him blankly, without saying a word or making any move.

At that moment, the bear sat down near the cave, and the kid settled next to it as if the animal was its family.

Boswell didn't feel he had another choice but to sit down too.

Throughout the night, the temperature in the forest dropped sharply. It was probably only a few degrees out there. When a gust of cold wind blew, Boswell couldn't help but shiver. He quietly glanced at the other kid wrapped in a piece of fur. It didn't seem to feel cold even though its shoulders and legs were still exposed to the cold wind.

Boswell thought for a while and took off his coat. It was slightly ripped due to the tree branches he had come across in the woods, but the boy stood up and walked over to put it on the toddler, anyway. "I'm wearing trousers and a sweater. I won't feel cold," he explained.

When he got closer to the toddler, Boswell realized it had a strange smell. Perhaps because it hadn't taken a shower in a long time. Holding his breath, Boswell put his coat over the kid's shoulders and then went back to where he had been sitting.

They remained quiet in the forest for a while. The bear looked back at the toddler who was curiously staring at Boswell's coat and slowly lay on the ground.

When the toddler saw its posture, it immediately half stood and climbed onto its back in a sitting position.

The bear carried the child until they were in front of their guest. Boswell didn't understand what they meant at first, but at last, he plucked up the courage and climbed on the back of the bear, just like the other kid did.

Then, the bear stood up from the ground and clumsily carried the two children away from the cave.

A few minutes later, someone seemed to have found Boswell when a drone hovered over the boy's head. Next, several other drones were flying back and forth above his head.

Boswell waved at one of the drones, which was trying to come down a bit. The device followed him through the woods for less than a minute until it crashed into a tree. Consequently, the drone fell to the ground motionlessly.

"Wait a minute!" Boswell called out immediately.

Seeming to understand what the boy meant, the bear stopped in its tracks. Boswell quickly got off the bear and picked up the drone that fell nearby.

He realized the wing was broken, and it wouldn't be able to fly anymore.

Leaving the broken drone behind, Boswell climbed onto the back of the bear, and the animal proceeded slowly through the woods with the children.

As time went by, more drones flew over, and later a helicopter showed.

The helicopter accurately tracked the hovering drones' location as several fully armed people slid to the ground through a soft rope. Quickly, the men approached the bear and the two children.

The bear took a few steps back warily. But when Boswell saw the man who was holding a weapon in the front, he cheered happily, "Uncle! I'm here!"

At the sound of his voice, Gifford grinned and waved at him. "You brat, come over here!"
