Chapter 647 Ten More Minutes of Rest
However, they were greeted with the task of helping in the kitchen. Abigail could not help but think they did not
come here for medical treatment but rather to experience the countryside life.
After finishing their meal, she and Sean were exhausted. There were no convenient facilities for washing up here,
but fortunately, Ronaldo had made arrangements beforehand. There was solar power and a makeshift bathroom,
although they had to conserve water and fetch it after usage.
At 9:30 a.m., they lay together on the relatively spacious bed. Her arms felt like they were about to break. “I’m
starting to have second thoughts. Maybe I should just leave you here alone.”
“When disaster strikes, everyone flees for safety, right?” Sean looked at her.
Abigail had done a lot of work that day while he had not exerted much effort. His hands were blistered and still
quite painful.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Let’s sleep… I’m tired.” She closed her eyes, thinking about the unknown things that awaited them tomorrow,
which worried her.
From dealing with L.Moon’s affairs until now, she had never gone to bed this early.
Sean looked at her profile, feeling content and at ease in his heart. It was so miraculous that even he could not
understand it. No matter how good his relationship with her was in Capitalis and Pendorf, it had never been like
today, giving him a completely new sense of peace.
He could not figure out why, but he felt that today was somehow different. Most likely, they were just too tired. As
such, he did not dwell on it for long before falling asleep.
The next day, around 5:30 a.m., they were awakened by Alice, living a life similar to military training. They had to
water Alice’s vegetables in the morning and weed the garden. The couple divided the tasks, with her watering the
vegetables and him pulling out the weeds… They were busy until 8:30 a.m., then returned on time for breakfast.
Walking on the morning road, Abigail swung her sore hand and felt the dampness of the morning dew enveloping
her, refreshing her whole body. However, she still found this rural life challenging. Although she had done a lot of
housework with Analise since she was young, it had never been this hard.
Meanwhile, Sean was already too tired to speak. As a young master, he had always lived a life of luxury, and his
grandfather had never made him do any heavy work. No matter how much work or pressure he had in his job, it
had never been as tough as it was now, planting a seed of thought in him to escape back to Capitalis.
“I’m thinking of leaving you behind and letting you live here on your own.” When they were almost at Alice’s house,
Abigail suddenly voiced out.
Sean sighed. “I guess I’ll have to fly back, too, the day after you leave… I could hold on as long as you were here,
but without you, I can’t last a second.”
Those days would be unbearable.

“Although people should share hardships, I think this kind of difficulty is something you have to solve on your own.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAbigail now regretted having a conscience and accompanying him through such hardship.
“You should still stay and take care of my emotional state. I feel exhausted… When weeding, I was thinking maybe I
should secretly buy a ticket and take you away with me…” His voice was low, and he still had dirt on his fingers. He
was feeling depressed.
“Forget it. Your life is more important,” she whispered.
Now, even if it was tough, they had to endure it. It was only two years after all.
He stopped talking. Indeed, Abigail wanted him to get better, so even if it was difficult now, they had to tolerate it.
Back at Alice’s house, breakfast was already prepared. It was noodle soup cooked with beef bones. After finishing
their meal, the couple took off their jackets because it was too hot.
“You used up all the water while washing up last night. Today, you have to figure out how to store water yourselves.
During typhoon season, you can’t go out to fetch water. By then, you won’t even have water to drink,” Alice told the
two before leaving the house.
The couple was at a loss.
After she left, Abigail and Sean surveyed the village and discovered there was no running water, only well water.
They could not go out during typhoon season. While Alice could survive with a barrel of water, it would not be
enough for the three of them.
