"Philinos!"
Gu Ning's hoarse cry was swallowed by the endless darkness.
Philinos was gone.
Without any warning or notice, he had silently vanished. Or rather, he had left.
At first, Gu Ning thought he had just stepped away for a moment. Given their dangerous situation, she didn't dare call out to him again and settled down to wait.
She waited for a long time, but Philinos did not return.
The large black Leopard beneath her showed no intention of stopping to wait for him, either.
'Why did Philinos leave so suddenly? What did he go to do? Will he catch up?'
Gu Ning's mind raced, trying to guess the reason for his abrupt departure. He had never said anything about leaving halfway or having something else to do. From the very beginning, he had acted as if he would stay with her.
Gu Ning didn't believe he would abandon her. Knowing his aloof and solitary nature, he must have made some plan in secret.
A heavy sense of unease spread through Gu Ning's heart.
