Chapter 1029 Dared to Catch a Viper with Bare Hand

“I know.” Evelyn held her breath and dared not to move a bit. She could only hear her heart beating so
violently.

Right then, she was so nervous. However, she didn’t want to retreat. Instead, she took the initiative and
wrapped her arms around his neck.

Everything happened so naturally.

...

In the morning, the sunshine shone through the crack of the curtain, falling into the room gently.

In the bed, Evelyn’s small body was nestling in Andrew’s arms. She was still sleeping soundly.

When the clock on the wall showed it was eight o’clock, Evelyn felt her cheek tickled. “Hmm--”

She moved a bit and slowly opened her eyes. There was light in the room. She closed her eyes and
opened them twice. Then she completely opened them.

"Are you awake?" Andrew's eyes were opened, but he couldn't see her. He could only stroke her
features with his hands.

Probably it was because Andrew couldn’t see her, she wasn’t embarrassed. Reaching out her hands,
she also stroked his features. The longer she looked at him, the more handsome she felt he was. She
looked up and pecked him on his lips. “Are you hungry?” she asked.

It was already past eight. Usually, they had breakfast at seven o’clock in the morning.

“Ehn--” He answered in a deep tone as if it was from his chest. In the end, he lengthened the tone,
sounding so ambiguous.



Evelyn grabbed the towel to cover herself. “I’ll cook for you...”

As soon as she lifted the quilt, Andrew wrapped her slender body with his hands and held her together
with the quilt in his arms together.

“Let me get up. I’ll prepare for the breakfast.” Evelyn slightly struggled.

“You are my breakfast.” Andrew held her tightly with his strong arms. “You are a little liar.”

Evelyn was confused in silence.

“You told me you are ugly. Didn’t you lie?”

“Can you see me now?” Hurriedly, she waved her hand in front of him and muttered, “It shouldn’t be. It
will take at least several times for you to get better.”

Andrew's eyes were not caused by any injury. When he was in the mountain, the power of some kind of
butterfly dropped in his eyes, so it caused disturbances of visual acuity.

This kind of butterfly had quite colourful wings.

Seeing that he didn’t respond, she could tell that he still couldn’t see anything yet. She asked, “You
can’t see me at all. How do you know I’m not ugly?”

Andrew smiled without answering her.

Every night, he would stroke her face with his hands. Although he didn’t have a clear picture, he had a
rough illusion, which was told by his fingers. He roughly pictured what she looked like in his mind.

Evelyn suddenly felt a bit frustrated, afraid that her appearance would disappoint him.



She clung to her fact on his chest. "No matter what I look like, you must remember how well I treat
you."

“I won’t forget.”

Andrew kissed her on her forehead gently.

However, right now, in the town.

Noah said, “We’ve searched for him here. The top has sent several men here. Why did you have to
come here in person?”

Matthew looked solemn. “If your son disappeared and no one knew if he was alive, would you feel
easy?”

Noah was rendered speechless.

In fact, he was afraid that Matthew’s appearance here would make Dolores suspect. However, he
believed that Matthew would have dealt with it well.

"We've enlarged the scale of search. Please don't worry." Noah took the lead in front. "Although it
happened nearby here, I don't think we could find him nearby. There are two towns and seven or eight
villages around this area. We've done the comb search but failed to find him. I'm wondering if our
strategy was wrong. Probably he's not here now."

Matthew didn’t answer. He wanted to see the scene first.

The scene was in the mountain and it would take him two to three hours to enter.

Noah followed him and explained the situation, "The town just now was the closest place to the scene.
We've searched there twice, but the villagers all said no stranger had been there before. We did search



for him inside their houses. If any of them saw someone injured and rescued him, they shouldn't have
hidden him. Hence, I don't think he's here."

Besides, who would hide an unknown man in their houses?

The scene had been damaged. Matthew saw a lot of footprints without any clue.

However, his intuition told him that if Andrew was still safe, he must be nearby here. After all, it was
rare for outsiders to come over, and nor would they come into such a mountainous area.

Who would come to such a remote place?

Hence, Matthew didn’t think the search scale was quite big.

Out of the mountain, Matthew found a detailed investigation -- since the mountain was located on the
border of two countries, ordinary people wouldn't go there

Hence, there were a lot of wild animals on the mountain.

There was a local black market, in which the wild animals were traded secretly.

Due to its existence, some people would go to the mountain. Hence, whoever went to the mountain
would possibly find Andrew.

That could explain why Andrew was completely missing.

If it was a person who secretly engaged in wild animal trading when he met Andrew, he would either
rescue Andrew and hid it from others due to their dark trades, or he would kill Andrew to avoid their
trades from being exposed.

No matter what had happened, Matthew believed that it was a key to find Andrew's whereabouts.



If they didn’t have any method, no matter how big the search scale would be, it would be useless.

"According to your guess, anyone who had been to the mountain would have a chance to find Andrew,
right?" Noah was enlightened. "I agree. We should find those people who probably had been to the
mountain."

"I'll send someone to look into it." When Noah was about to stand up, he recalled something and then
sat down. "We searched in one house in this town before. There was just a girl living in the house. She
had a lot of herbs. The citizens of the town also said she often goes to the mountain. However, we've
searched in her house but couldn't find Andrew. I don't think a girl would hide an unknown man in her
house, would she?"

Matthew looked up at him.

Meeting his ink-black eyes, Noah hurriedly said, “I’d rather make a mistake than missing anything. I’ll
ask my man to go there again.”

“Is it far from here?” asked Matthew.

“Not really. It’s on a hill in that direction,” Noah pointed in the direction where Evelyn’s house was.

“Let’s go there now.” Matthew stood up. Noah wanted to persuade him to take a rest first as he never
rested after his flight had landed. However, if his son were missing, Noah didn’t think he would have the
mood to rest either.

“I’ll show you the way,” said Noah.

It was almost seven in the evening now, so they went over with several other men.

When their car arrived at the bottom of the hill, they found the lane was way too narrow. Hence, they
couldn’t drive up but only walk.



They parked the car next to the hill.

“Someone in the town said the girl in this house is quite bold,” one of the men said.

Noah took a glance at him. “How bold?”

“They said she dared to catch a viper with bare hands. Isn’t she bold? Many women would be freaked
out when seeing a snake.”
