He quickly ran to Lacey. “Lacey, it's me! I'm here.”
Lacey turned around as soon as she heard his voice.
As she was close to the fire, her face was a little reddish and slightly smeared with soot. She was sweating
profusely.
However, it didn't affect her beautiful aura.
Zeke's heart raced.
No matter when, where, or how Lacey looked, Zeke's heart would flutter.
Such is love.
Seeing Zeke running toward her, Lacey smiled. However, it gradually turned into a bitter smile. She looked at him
aggrievedly and said, “Zeke, I miss you.”
Those words warmed Zeke's heart.

Lacey quickly shoved him away. “Careful. I'm covered in dirt.”
Zeke hugged her even tighter and refused to let go. “Well, I just feel like holding you like this and never let go for
the rest of my life.”
Lacey relaxed in Zeke's embrace, quietly enjoying his warmth.
After a while, she seemed to remember something and quickly broke away from his arms. “Oh, no.”
She raked the fire and revealed a large lump of clay.
Lacey pulled out the clay with a stick and said, “Zeke, I made roasted chicken for you. Here, see if my cooking has
deteriorated.”
“Okay.”
With a smile on his face, Zeke reached out to take the food.
Lacey quickly stopped him. “Be careful. It's hot. Eat it later.”
“It's fine.”
Zeke had already surpassed the limit of what the human body could endure by many folds. A mere roasted chicken
wouldn't burn him.
Zeke smashed the outer layer of the clay, exposing the three layers of leaves wrapped around the chicken.
The leaves were roasted, soaked in fat, and full of fragrance.
Then he peeled off the three layers of leaves to reveal the roasted chicken within.
The chicken was roasted to a pinkish color, and it smelled aromatic.
Zeke was famished, and he gulped.
On the desolate Theos Island, all he ate was food that tasted bland, like boiled meat and cabbages.
He hadn't eaten anything such as roasted chicken for a long time.
Zeke began to gobble down the chicken while Lacey stood aside and looked at him with a smile full of happiness.
“Zeke, how is Nelly right now? Did you look after Nelly?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Lacey, don't worry. Nelly is safe now. I've already made the arrangements. Lacey, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you,
and now you can't reunite with Nelly. Don't worry. I will get you out no matter what.”
Lacey frowned and sighed. “Zeke, tell me the truth. Who's stronger? You or Theos?”
“I have never fought against him, but judging by just the aura he released, the chances of me winning him are
slim.”
Lacey became even more anxious. “If you can't win him alone, does that mean you'll die if you have to worry about
me? Zeke, if this is the case, I'd rather you don't come.”
Zeke comforted Lacey, “Relax. I will protect myself. I've devised a plan, and you can say that it's nearly impeccable.
I will definitely defeat Theos.”
“Really?” Lacey found his words hard to believe.
“Of course. Why would I lie to you?”
“Zeke, you must take care of yourself. I can't live without you.”
At this moment, Zeke suddenly noticed a hand reaching toward him to grab him.
