Chapter 70: They Are Everywhere! (1/2)

The instant that the scream came out, Hugo barged into the bathroom stall.

His movements were quick and without any waste. In just a blink of an eye, he scooped up Jannette from the lap of the half-naked man and after turning her head away from the scene. He raised his leg and whipped a kick directly at the screaming madman.

Puchi!

A dull sound rang out followed by a cracking sound.

Hugo's powerful kick caused the madman's head to burst, scattering brain matter and blood all over the bathroom stall.

Calvin exited out of his stall and quickly took a towel to cover the naked body of the scarred Jannette.

Even now, she was still trembling in fear.

”Jane, Zahra! We found Jannette! Take her!”

Calvin walked out and dragged Jannette out of the bathroom.

He dragged her for Calvin realized that Jannette couldn't walk. Her legs were trembling so much that it looked as if she would collapse onto the ground at any moment.

”Shit...”

Calvin muttered under his breath.

”I hope she can still recover after this ordeal. If not, then I can only say my condolences.”

The world of Las Felipinas was incredibly cruel to anyone. Violence was the norm there, so one must have a strong heart before venturing out to Las Felipinas. Else, going to Las Felipinas without a prepared heart and a steeled resolve was basically the same as committing suicide.

That was how dangerous Las Felipinas was.

”Ah! Jannette! What happened to you?” Jane approached Jannette.

Calvin handed her over to Jane, but as soon as Jannette left Calvin's support. She collapsed onto the ground and if not for Zahra's quick reactions, she would've had a concussion since she was so weak that she couldn't even protect her head from impact onto the ground.

Zahra checked her vitals and discovered that she was in deep shock. A frown appeared on her face when she realized that Jannette was naked. Apart from the towel covering her body, she had nothing to cover her bits and grits.

Noticing that Calvin was still staring at Jannette despite the fact that she was in her birthday suit. Zahra frowned and asked, ”Why are you still staring? She's naked!”

”Oh...” Calvin let out an astonished yelp before turning his gaze away.

It was indeed inappropriate for him to stare at the naked body of a maiden.

Calvin knew about this, but he forgot about it since he already had a fair share of naked bodies back in Las Felipinas.

Jane glanced at Calvin and realized that the slender-frame Calvin seemed to be even more mysterious than ever. To think that he wasn't bothered and even blush at the sight of a maiden's birthday suit!

Jane was intrigued but she also knew that there were matters far important at this moment than Calvin's outlook regarding beauties.

”What the hell happened?” Zahra asked.

Jane nodded in agreement.

She had the same question as Zahra.

She wanted to know just what exactly happened that a courageous woman like Jannette became like this.

Calvin bitterly smiled.

It wasn't convenient for him to talk regarding what happened to Jane and Zahra.

After all, the three of them could be considered friends.

He reckoned that even Jannette herself didn't want them to know that she was almost violated by a mad patient of this asylum. If they came to know about it, Jannette would surely spiral into depression.

”I can't disclose that. I'm sorry...” Calvin shook his head and avoided the topic.

Jane and Zahra stared at each other.

They weren't as dense as Calvin expected to be.

They were smart women who could extrapolate information from missing data. The fact that Jannette was buck-naked with purple bruises all over her body, particularly on her breasts and neck. What happened was painfully obvious.

Furthermore, there was also that maniacal scream from a third-party that they heard from the bathroom.

Jane and Zahra clenched their tiny fists.

Calvin saw the sorrow on their expression and he let out a sigh.

The two women stared at each other for a moment before nodding.

Afterwards, they then directed their gazes to Calvin.

From their gazes alone, Calvin could see what they wanted to happen.

In short, both Jane and Zahra hoped that Calvin would pretend that nothing happened.

Calvin nodded his head in tacit understanding.

But there was an issue that he had to raise.

”Now we have two unconscious comrades. Our journey will become even more difficult since we have two comrades that we have to look out for. I can almost manage everything with Scarlette, but with Jannette added on top of it. I don't think that we can continue on our journey...” Calvin shook his head in sorrow.

”What do you mean? Are you saying that we should abandon both of them?” Jane glared at Calvin.

”No, no, no! You're misunderstanding me.” Calvin hurriedly flailed his hands in protest, ”That is not what I mean. What I am trying to say is that we should choose who among the two we should wake up. To be honest, I prefer if we woke up Scarlette than Janette.”

”Ah, so that's what you meant?” Zahra nodded her head, ”I know some acupuncture techniques that we can use to wake them up prematurely. But why choose Scarlette? Could it be that you're being biased against Jannette?”

”Oh, please... Why would I? On what basis? I'm just saying that Scarlette is a better choice. Look at her condition! She's just in shock and is barely injured. If we choose to wake up Jannette, then she wouldn't be that useful. After all, she suffered that much. What's more, I think she deserves to rest at least.” Calvin explained.

”That makes sense.” Zahra and Jane were finally convinced.

”I'm done...” At this moment, Hugo walked out of the bathroom stall.
