Chapter 647 Ten More Minutes of Rest

However, they were greeted with the task of helping in the kitchen. Abigail could not help

but think they did not come here for medical treatment but rather to experience the

countryside life.

After finishing their meal, she and Sean were exhausted. There were no convenient

facilities for washing up here, but fortunately, Ronaldo had made arrangements

beforehand. There was solar power and a makeshift bathroom, although they had to

conserve water and fetch it after usage.

At 9:30 a.m., they lay together on the relatively spacious bed. Her arms felt like they were

about to break. “I’m starting to have second thoughts. Maybe I should just leave you here

alone.”

“When disaster strikes, everyone flees for safety, right?” Sean looked at her.

Abigail had done a lot of work that day while he had not exerted much effort. His hands

were blistered and still quite painful.

“Let’s sleep… I’m tired.” She closed her eyes, thinking about the unknown things that

awaited them tomorrow, which worried her.

From dealing with L.Moon’s affairs until now, she had never gone to bed this early.

Sean looked at her profile, feeling content and at ease in his heart. It was so miraculous

that even he could not understand it. No matter how good his relationship with her was in

Capitalis and Pendorf, it had never been like today, giving him a completely new sense of

peace.

He could not figure out why, but he felt that today was somehow different. Most likely,

they were just too tired. As such, he did not dwell on it for long before falling asleep.

The next day, around 5:30 a.m., they were awakened by Alice, living a life similar to

military training. They had to water Alice’s vegetables in the morning and weed the

garden. The couple divided the tasks, with her watering the vegetables and him pulling

out the weeds… They were busy until 8:30 a.m., then returned on time for breakfast.

Walking on the morning road, Abigail swung her sore hand and felt the dampness of the

morning dew enveloping her, refreshing her whole body. However, she still found this rural

life challenging. Although she had done a lot of housework with Analise since she was

young, it had never been this hard.

Meanwhile, Sean was already too tired to speak. As a young master, he had always lived a

life of luxury, and his grandfather had never made him do any heavy work. No matter how

much work or pressure he had in his job, it had never been as tough as it was now,

planting a seed of thought in him to escape back to Capitalis.

“I’m thinking of leaving you behind and letting you live here on your own.” When they

were almost at Alice’s house, Abigail suddenly voiced out.

Sean sighed. “I guess I’ll have to fly back, too, the day after you leave… I could hold on as

long as you were here, but without you, I can’t last a second.”

Those days would be unbearable.

“Although people should share hardships, I think this kind of difficulty is something you

have to solve on your own.” Abigail now regretted having a conscience and accompanying

him through such hardship.

“You should still stay and take care of my emotional state. I feel exhausted… When

weeding, I was thinking maybe I should secretly buy a ticket and take you away with

me…” His voice was low, and he still had dirt on his fingers. He was feeling depressed.

“Forget it. Your life is more important,” she whispered.

Now, even if it was tough, they had to endure it. It was only two years after all.

He stopped talking. Indeed, Abigail wanted him to get better, so even if it was difficult

now, they had to tolerate it.

Back at Alice’s house, breakfast was already prepared. It was noodle soup cooked with

beef bones. After finishing their meal, the couple took off their jackets because it was too

hot.

“You used up all the water while washing up last night. Today, you have to figure out how

to store water yourselves. During typhoon season, you can’t go out to fetch water. By

then, you won’t even have water to drink,” Alice told the two before leaving the house.

The couple was at a loss.

After she left, Abigail and Sean surveyed the village and discovered there was no running

water, only well water. They could not go out during typhoon season. While Alice could

survive with a barrel of water, it would not be enough for the three of them.

Back at the house, he lay on the recliner in the backyard, comfortably squinting his eyes.

Abigail sat by the stone table in the yard, using her tablet to search for ways to

conveniently fetch water.

“I think we can dig a well in Alice’s backyard,” she suggested to him.

He opened his eyes and looked at her with a lazy gaze. “But we have to ask Alice’s

permission. I just thought about it. Why not consider installing a pipeline to connect the

well water to her house?”

“Isn’t that too much? Drawing water from the well also requires electricity. Can we go to

the well during typhoon season to connect to a power source?” she asked him.

“This kind of project isn’t my expertise.” He smiled. He had invested in a resort and knew

exactly how

to connect water sources.

She nodded. “Alright, you can discuss it with Alice, but we need to fetch water now. We ran

out of water yesterday and don’t have water left for cooking lunch.”

As soon as Sean heard that they had to work, his face immediately fell. “Wait a moment,”

he said, closing his eyes again and pretending to be dead.

Abigail stood up and walked over to his side, grabbing his hand, and pulling him up. “What

if Alice returns later and gets angry because, there’s no water? Hurry up!”

“Just ten more minutes of rest…” He lazily refused to get up from the chair.
