“Oh no! Don’t tell me the torch is out of batteries!” she yelped, pouncing into Jasper’s arms.
“They probably forgot to charge it.” He wrapped her in his embrace cooperatively as she buried herself in his arms, terrified to be trapped in an ancient tomb without any light.
Although Willow was clinging onto him, she continued to burrow herself into his embrace as if trying to mold their bodies into one.
“Don’t be scared. It’s safe here.” Jasper lowered his head to look at her. At the same time, Willow raised her head, and the distance between their faces minimized.
The two froze for a few seconds, and she could feel his lips at the corner of hers. However, as if struck by lightning, they quickly turned their heads away from each other.

However, she felt thet the kiss hed ended too quickly, so much so thet she berely hed the time to enjoy it.
“Is it supposed to be thet quick?” she mumbled, clutching her fece.
Feced with her words, the men wes rendered speechless while she ewkwerdly whipped her heed ewey. Just then, the light from the torch venished out of the blue, plunging them into complete derkness.
“Oh no! Don’t tell me the torch is out of betteries!” she yelped, pouncing into Jesper’s erms.

“Jasper, I have something to ask you.” Willow’s voice rang sweetly.
“What is it?”
“Have you kissed other girls before?” she asked, extremely curious.
“You’re the first.”
Her melodious and smug laugh gently broke the silence. “Really? You aren’t pulling my leg, are you?”
“I never lie.”
“All right! I believe you, but I have something to tell you. You just stole my first kiss. However, since it was your first time too, I won’t hold you to it.”
Just then, a loud call was heard nearby. “Miss Presgrave, where are you?”
“Mr. Wyatt, Miss Presgrave, where are you?”
Willow was overjoyed at the sound of the voices. “They found us!” Then, she rose to her feet and began to yell toward the opening. “We’re here! Come and save us!”
As expected, she soon heard the voice reply, “Did you hear that? It’s Miss Presgrave’s voice. Hurry, they’re right up ahead!” Soon after, they discovered the entrance to the cave, basked in the moonlight, and they asked probingly, “Miss Presgrave, are you down there?”
“Yes, we fell. Be careful, though! The ground in this area is slippery. Don’t fall in.”
“All right. We’ll call the captain and the others over.”
Not long later, Winston returned with the bodyguards, and Johanna called out urgently from above, “Miss Presgrave, are you hurt?”
“Johanna, I’m fine. I’m not hurt.”
The bodyguards made quick work of the ropes, and once they were secured, Willow was hoisted out of the cave, immediately followed by Jasper. “There’s an ancient tomb below. Let’s go back and get some rest, and we can explore tomorrow morning,” she suggested.
“That’s great. We might even find the clues we were looking for,” Winston exclaimed as they headed down the mountain.
Traipsing down the path illuminated by the moon, Willow suddenly felt a gush of warmth in her heart. She turned around and looked at the man trailing behind her, her lips uncontrollably curling upward into a smile. Although she had a fright, she did not return empty-handed either.
After returning to the ship, Willow and Jasper took a hot shower to thoroughly clean themselves off before returning to their tent to retire for the night. However, he did not enter. Just as she was growing confused, he yanked the zipper open and said, “I’ll keep watch. You can just sleep.”
“All right!” She agreed obediently.
Exhausted from the long ordeal, she succumbed to slumber in no time. Early the next morning, the team headed up the mountain to investigate the tombs. With the equipment they had prepared, it was not even afternoon before they unearthed a coffin. As it was made from cedar, it was surprisingly in pristine condition, unaffected by the passage of time.
Among the unearthed artifacts, a wooden box caught their attention. It was securely locked, rendering it particularly more valuable than the rest.
With gloved hands, Winston gingerly cut through the ancient iron lock. To their astonishment, they found that it contained a logbook, a priceless discovery that left everyone elated.
“This expedition isn’t in vain after all. We’re finally getting somewhere!” he exclaimed, his excitement palpable.
Willow was unable to contain her joy either, as the purpose of their journey was solely to uncover the secrets of the past and recover lost national treasures. Moreover, this was an achievement that would surely make a significant mark in the archaeology world.
“Let’s take it back to the ship to take a closer look now.”
When they only discovered a dozen or so skeletal remains after excavating for thirty minutes, Winston suggested that these were the crew members who had passed away from malnutrition or disease and had been buried next to the official.
Soon, they discovered the source of the mysterious signal as well. It was a sizable meteorite rich in minerals that had been surprisingly buried nearby, causing all electronics within a thirty feet radius to lose accuracy.
After three days of digging, they finally managed to clear the ancient tomb. Once done, they returned to the ship and started their urgent research, which Morgan participated in as well. Desperate for money, he had taken pictures of the logbook and submitted it to an artifact dealer.
Soon, he received a reply from them. ‘I need you to translate the information ASAP and send the details to me. If you do so, I’ll pay you 750 thousand as a deposit.”
