Chapter 159 Faint (2/2)
Everywhere she looked, Jean saw green. This was so refreshingly different from the concrete and metal scene in the city. Even the air she breathed was fragrant.
Jean wasn't in a hurry to leave. She left the camera hanging on her neck as she stretched her arms above her head and slowly closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes, her whole body was filled with a sense of satisfaction that she had never felt before.
What if she could live here, away from everything?
Jean could just imagine what life would be like in a small house in the middle of a scenic spot like this one. There were no people around at all. She would be free from everything, the Wen family, complications with Ethan and Selena, and everything else that had troubled her.
But, would Zed love living here?
She smiled when she thought of life with Zed in a place like this.
Still lost in her fantasy world, Jean didn't pay much attention to the whereabouts of her colleagues.
Halfway back to the spot where she had left her friends, Jean saw John. He seemed to have finished taking his photographs. So they walked back together.
”I wonder how Maranda is doing.” Jean asked casually, as she picked up a leaf and put it in her mouth.
John didn't answer. Instead, he fidgeted and looked uncomfortable.
Jean didn't expect any answer from him since she had just voiced a thought.
John kept silent as he walked. Then, he suddenly stopped and looked at Jean. ”Jean, I want to say something.”
Jean, who had been walking with her head bowed, didn't notice that John had stopped. She almost bumped into him.
”What do you want to say, ” she asked before remembering that Maranda was alone. So she quickly added, ”Let's talk after we find Maranda.” Jean brushed past John without giving him time to reply.
”Jean...” John said as he reached out and grabbed her arm. His expression showed the sincerity and turmoil he was feeling.
Jean's heart started to pound all of a sudden.
”Hey, you two. The girl over there, is she your friend? She just fainted.”
