Muir's heart ached when he saw her pale smile. How he wished he could get caught in Curtis's stead, making Bai Qingqing feel a little better.
"What should we do now? Everything is prepared, and we're only lacking Curtis. However, we can't summon him back at all." Parker felt dejected as he poked the firewood in his hand harshly into the ground.
Bai Qingqing grabbed his other hand. When he sensed the gentle feeling on the back of his hand, Parker's irritation calmed down a little.
"Don't be like this. It'll get better." Bai Qingqing sounded certain, but they were now at their wits' end. She had no idea if this affirmative tone was more of consoling the others or herself.
Winston was the most composed of them all. After staying silent for very long, he finally spoke up, "We can only give up on Curtis now."
