"Don't worry. Shadow has taken care of it, and I have also asked Gabriel to bring some men over. We will have news soon," Bradley said.

Just as the words were spoken, Xavier's voice came from downstairs.

"Freya, the woman has woken up."

The woman he was referring to was the woman who had been unconscious.

Freya and Bradley went downstairs together.

The woman lying on the bed looked at them with fear in her eyes.

"You don't need to be afraid. We won't harm you."

As the only woman in the room, Freya took the initiative to approach and comfort the woman.

The woman hugged her knees and looked at her for a long time before finally relaxing her guard.

"Did you save me?"

She had been unconscious for so long that her voice sounded hoarse.

"Yeah, I found you in a cave and brought you back. I also treated the injury on your leg. Can you tell me what you went through and why you ended up here?"

Upon hearing that, the woman suddenly burst into tears as she lost control over her emotions.

Freya stepped forward and patted her on the back for comfort as she said, "Don't be afraid. Tell us what is bothering you. We will do our best to help you."

"Really?"

The woman lifted her watery eyes, looking at Freya with helplessness in her eyes.

Freya nodded. "Yes, really."

"My friends and I came to this forest for an adventure. I accidentally got separated from them and was frantically searching for them when suddenly a group of people caught me. I was terrified and ran for my life, but then I fell down a slope. I don't remember what happened after that."

An adventure?

She remembered that the woman bitten by the snake also said she came here for an adventure.

"How many of you came together?" Freya asked.

"Three, a man and a woman besides me."

Freya narrowed her eyes and glanced at Bradley.

The news passed on by Shadow confirmed that three people had appeared in the woods recently. Just as the woman said, there were two women and one man.

"Does your female friend have a mole under her lips?"

The woman shook her head, saying, "No."

Sean said the woman pointing the gun at him had a mole near her mouth. That meant that the person he saw was not with this woman.

"Can you roughly describe your female friend's appearance so that someone can help you find her?" Freya asked.

The woman nodded and began to speak.

"Her most prominent feature is her bright red hair. She prefers to dress in a neutral style and colors…"

Bright red hair.

The woman bitten by the snake had black hair.

That could only mean one thing, and that was the woman bitten by the snake was shady.

Freya finally figured it out.

The woman bitten by the snake was lying. She was using someone else's identity to get close to them in order to stop Hayden from treating Bradley's illness.

In this case, that woman would be the one sent by Ian.

"Rest well. I will have someone help you find your friend."

After that, Freya called Xavier and Bradley to talk outside.

"You all heard what happened just now. It's not safe here anymore. I'm worried that the other two have already fallen into harm's way."

"If it's really someone sent by Ian, we need to evacuate from here as soon as possible."

Xavier frowned. He had just used Hayden's room to test the poison in the syringe and found that the change in the test paper was the same.

In other words, it was the same poison.

"We can leave, but what about Hayden? He's used to living here and probably won't come with us."

Through her recent interactions with Hayden, Freya had noticed a number of issues.

Hayden was a sentimental person who clung to nostalgia.

Here, he could live peacefully and do his own thing as he pleased.

There were also natural medicinal herbs here that were very effective for Bradley's condition.

Although Freya had only been here for a few days, she had gradually fallen in love with these mountains.

"Let's not leave yet. Let's first figure out the other party's intentions. I always feel that their intrusion here involves some other scheme." Bradley's dark eyes gazed ahead as he softly continued, "When will Gabriel arrive?"

"Afternoon at the earliest."

Xavier replied.

Freya saw that the two had other things to discuss, so she turned and entered the house.

Some things were confidential, and she knew it was not appropriate for her to listen in on those.

Freya chatted with the woman for a while and learned that her name was Shirley Lynch, a thrill-seeking adventurer.

The other two in her group were friends she met online. A month ago, the three of them agreed to explore this forest for an adventure.

They did not expect something like this to happen.

Shirley was a straightforward woman, and she shared many of her adventures with Freya.

Freya was amazed by what she heard. She did not expect her to be so brave as to climb snow mountains and narrowly escape being crushed by an avalanche.

Their conversation lasted until the evening.

Due to Shirley's weak body, she stayed in the cabin to recuperate.

Meanwhile, Gabriel also arrived at the cabin.

He brought people with him and split them into two groups. One group was tasked with protecting everyone in the cabin while the other group would head into the mountains to search for Shirley's two friends.

Two days later, Gabriel brought back a woman.

With flaming red hair and a neutral outfit, it was Shirley's travel companion, Jinny Foster.

"Shirley, where did you run off to? I was worried sick about you."

As soon as Jinny arrived, she hugged Shirley and cried.

Freya stared at Jinny with a dark gaze before she went to Bradley to understand the situation.

"Where did you find her?"

Although their stories seemed to match, Freya felt it necessary to thoroughly investigate them for safety reasons.

"On the mountain to the west, she was shouting Shirley's name when Gabriel found her."

"What about the man? Where is he?"

"He's dead."

Freya was slightly taken aback by the news.

"He likely bumped into a wild beast. His body was torn beyond recognition. His face could no longer be seen."

The more Freya listened, the more frightened she became, recalling what Shirley had said to her.

As adventurers, they faced dangers with every adventure. Thus, they were prepared for death at any time they put themselves in danger.

However, being bitten to death by a wild beast was truly tragic.

"Where is the body? Can I go see it?"

Bradley furrowed his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "Freya, what do you want to do?"

"I want to see his corpse and determine if he truly was bitten to death by a wild animal, or if there is another reason."

For some reason, she recalled the syringe next to Shirley that subconsciously made her connect the dots and wonder if the man had also been injected with the poison.

"Don't look at it. I'm worried you'll be scared and have nightmares at night." Bradley could not bear to see that happen.

"Don't forget. I'm a doctor. I've seen more corpses than you."

Freya grabbed the man's hand and cutely pleaded with him. "Come on, honey. Take me with you."

Bradley had no defense against her cute act and ultimately caved in.
