Chapter 120
In two strides, Hyun was already in front of Jung-Hee, kneeling down to help untie her limbs.
Seeing him so close, Jung-Hee stopped flailing about, and waited patiently for her arms and legs to be free. Then, Hyun carefully removed the cloth from her mouth, allowing his wife to take a deep breath of air.
"Ah, Hyun!" Jung-Hee cried out, throwing her arms around his neck. She gave him a tight hug, squeezing his neck as though he was her life raft.
"Hyun, how did you get here?" she asked between soft sobs.
"Hyeon and I infiltrated the group of guards that came to secure the hunting grounds."
"Eh? Hyeon is with you?" Jung-Hee asked, perplexed.
After blurting out that question, Jung-Hee slowly released her husband. Then, she turned her head to glance around. Only at that moment did she notice the other figure that had followed Hyun inside the tent.
