Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 840

Chapter 840:

“Norah, are we really heading up the hill now? It’s getting dark. Maybe we should wait until morning? We could

sleep in the car tonight.”

The person who had given directions estimated it would take about six or seven hours to cross the hill. Given

Norah's slight build, navigating the forest could prove challenging. It would be too dangerous.

After a brief hesitation, Norah realized that the darkness compounded the risks of ascending the hill now.

Moreover, their limited night vision made Marlins proposal to halt more sensible.

“Okay, let's rest for now and continue at dawn.”

As she turned, the silence of the night was broken by faint footsteps. Though soft, the sound suggested multiple

people were approaching.

Could they be assassins sent by Hank? There hadn’t been an attempt on her life for a while, and it seemed about

tfor another. Norah couldn’t think of anyone else who would stealthily follow her except those assassins.

Quietly, she reached out and gripped Marlin’s wrist. “Shh, be quiet. We're not alone.”

Remaining composed, Marlin whispered, “Should we head up the hill or try to make it back to the car?”

They were roughly two hundred meters from their car, making it a viable option to dash there. But those

pursuing them were likely nearing the car, as the footsteps were coming from that direction. Norah quickly

decided. “Let's head up the hill.”

Her intention wasn’t to venture too deep. Her plan was clear: eliminate those pursuing them using the cover of

the forest. The gear she had packed was sufficient for survival.

They swiftly disappeared into the dense forest. After sprinting about a hundred meters, they took cover behind

strees.

“Here, take a Mind Clearing Pill,” Norah instructed.

She pulled out two pills from her backpack, popped one into her mouth, and handed the other to Marlin.

Observing him swallow it without hesitation, she teased, “Would you have taken it if it were poison?” Marlin just

nodded silently.

Norah touched her nose lightly. “If they catch up, I'm going to use knockout drops. Make sure to cover your

face.” Taking the Mind Clearing Pills was a precaution to avoid accidentally inhaling the knockout drops.

Marlin acknowledged with another nod, choosing not to question her further in the precarious situation.

His faith in her words was absolute, his trust in her unwavering.

The night enveloped everything in its deep darkness, obscuring even the moon behind thick clouds. In the

woods, the eerie chirps of unknown creatures echoed, adding to the unsettling atmosphere. Footsteps

approached, accompanied by muffled voices carried on the wind.
