Chapter 45: Recovered

And then she saw him

Rhyland Darling.

Surprised, Aubrey quickly dropped the knife in her hand.

"Oh my god! Rhyland! Are you alright? I'm so sorry."

"No. It's okay, you did good." The man said with a strained smile. Thankfully, the force of her stab was not too strong and the wound was not deep. It was but a flesh wound. He should have called out to her in advance but he had been so elated to find her safe hiding behind the trees that he had forgotten protocol. Thus, he only had himself to blame for this wound.

Happy to see the Rhyland had made it out of the dome, Aubrey quickly threw herself at the man for a brief hug.

"Thank god you're safe." Aubrey said with a relieved smile on her face.

The more pressing matter was that Rhyland did not look too good at all. The man looked ashen and he could barely stand.
