Chapter 702

Penulis: Warm Cocoa
“Percy, wake up! Are you okay?” Her voice trembled with urgency.

Percy’s face was ashen, lips pale, but he slowly opened his eyes and reached a bloodied hand toward her.

“Stellar… if I die this time, would you… would you forgive me?”

“No.”

Her answer was firm.

“So don’t you dare die. It’s just a shoulder wound—I’m taking you to the hospital now.”

Percy gave a bitter smile. “At a time like this, you won’t even lie to make me feel better?”

“I hate lying. You want the truth? Then stay alive and earn it.”

Trained in martial arts, Stellar managed to hoist him up with effort, half-carrying, half-dragging him through the rain toward the car.

The chill of danger that had loomed moments earlier was gone.

Whoever had fired the shot had vanished into the shadows.

After securing Percy in the passenger seat, she floored the accelerator.

Barely twenty minutes later, they arrived at the hospital.

Stellar jumped out, yelling for help.

Within moments, staff rushed out with a stretcher and wheeled P

    "I'm fine." Stephen reached out and gently cupped her face, his thumb brushing the corner of her eye. "Hey, don’t worry. It’s just a scratch. I just need to bandage the wound, and I will be fine.""That’s not fine!" Stellar spun around, flustered, already heading toward the cave entrance. "We need to get you checked immediately. We can’t delay this."She was clearly panicking out of concern.No one quite knew how to stop her.At that moment, Stephen stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. "Stellar, I’m really okay. We all worked so hard to get here. Do you really want all that effort to go to waste?"She froze.She could ignore her own safety, but she couldn’t ignore the team."Stellar, help him patch it up first!" Lilian stepped in just in time, handing over the first aid kit.“Thanks,” Stellar said quickly, pulling Stephen back to sit down and motioning for him to turn around and remove his shirt."Ahem, the sun's up. I’ll go check the perimeter.""I’ll

    Stellar rested her chin in one hand, a teasing smile on her lips. “I’m just admiring you. You’re quite the feast for the eyes.”Stephen arched a brow slightly. “I didn’t expect you to be the sweet-talking type.”“There’s a lot you haven’t figured out about me. We’ve got all the time in the world to discover it together.”The mood turned warm and romantic in an instant.Time slipped by quickly.Outside, the rain had eased, but darkness had fully fallen.Thankfully, everyone had brought flashlights for light.After some quick discussion, the group agreed they would take turns keeping watch and spend the night in the cave.Around midnight, Stellar was lightly dozing with her head resting on Stephen’s shoulder when a distant howl jolted her awake.She shot upright, instantly alert. Stephen stepped forward and shielded her behind him.“What was that sound just now?” Lilian woke groggily, yawning as she sat up.Before anyone could respond, Nathan burst into the cave, face pale. “There’s a p

    Her heart lurched as she lost her footing, and before she could react, she was already falling.In that split second, Stellar turned just in time to grab her wrist and yank her back.The force sent Lilian crashing forward.Stellar staggered from the momentum, but Stephen quickly caught her from behind, steadying them both.In the end, it was a close call, but no one was hurt.“Thanks god, that scared the life out of me,” Lilian gasped, clutching her pounding chest. For a moment, she truly thought it was the end.“It’s okay now,” Stellar said gently, patting her shoulder to calm her. “From here on, stay sharp. The terrain through this canyon is tricky.”Nathan walked over, still shaken, and took Lilian’s hand. “Stay close to me.”Lilian nodded quickly.The group refocused and moved on with renewed caution.Time slipped by, and by afternoon, the clear skies began to darken.Stephen lifted his head, sniffing the air. With his survival instincts honed by years of fieldwork, he said, “Lo

    Just then, Stephen, who had been quiet by her side, spoke up. “I’m going with you.”Stellar turned in surprise. “Why? This is my research.”“There’s no need to draw lines between us, not at a time like this. Besides, I’m a trained technician too. If needed, I can contribute.”He didn’t give her a chance to object, adding firmly, “And I have plenty of survival experience—navigating remote terrain and handling emergencies. That’s why I have to go.”With that much said, Stellar couldn’t bring herself to refuse again.“I’m coming too.”“So am I.”To her surprise, several team members spoke up one after another.“You guys…” She looked at them, taken aback.“This project belongs to all of us,” Lilian said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.“That’s right. We can’t just sit back and enjoy the results while you take all the risks.”Their tone was firm.Stellar was deeply moved.In the end, they agreed to go together. Autumn stayed behind to serve as backup.If anything went wr

    The tenderness between them left no room for anyone else to intervene.Watching the scene unfold, Percy felt his heart twist in agony, as if it were bleeding.He had braced himself for this moment, thinking that if he just tried hard enough, he might win her back.But reality struck harder than he ever expected.His face turned pale with shame, but in the end, he could only accept the truth.“I understand,” he murmured, voice hoarse as he lowered his head. “I’ll handle the situation with the spy. You’ll have a proper explanation from me soon.”Stellar gave no response to that.“Get some rest then. I’ve arranged for a caregiver. The team’s waiting for me—I need to head back.”“Alright.” Percy didn’t try to stop her.He simply watched as Stephen walked out with Stellar by his side.On the way back, Stellar asked, “Did Joe tell you what was happening? Is that why you rushed over?”“Yeah. Something this serious happened, and I wasn’t there to protect you... That’s on me.” Regret and guil

    Percy pressed on. “When I thought I was about to die, all I felt was regret and frustration. “I kept asking myself—why did I do such foolish things? If I had another chance at life, I’d cherish you, love you right, and never let you get hurt again.”He looked at her with deep emotion, laying bare his heart.“You don’t need to say any more,” Stellar cut in calmly. “There’s no such thing as a second chance. You’re still alive and well, so stop dwelling on what-ifs.”Even if Percy had saved her, even if she felt grateful and guilty, it didn’t mean she would choose him again.“Why? Can’t you see how I feel about you? I don’t think I love you any less than Stephen does.”Panic flitted across Percy’s face as he suddenly grabbed her hand. “I know you still have feelings for me. Stellar, when I was on the brink of death, you panicked—you were so worried. “That wasn’t nothing. It’s clear you still care. Why won’t you just face that truth? Is it because of Stephen?”Stellar frowned, finding
