Plundering in the Apocalypse-Chapter 38 Gratitude.

Jenny looked at everyone's expression and couldn't help but smile.

'These people are kind.'

She thought inwardly.

"I was enraged at that blonde-haired boy and those people who left us to die even after we protected them for all this time."

Jenny bit her lips suppressing her anger and controlling her emotions.

She had the urge to kill those shameful people right there and then but she was powerless.

"James took their provocation to heart. Even with his wound, he was ready to fight them to death. I said to James to please calm down. I didn't want to lose him.

Those group of people didn't give us another glance and left us to die at the hands of those monsters as they descended downstairs."

"There were some gnolls and goblins. Unfortunately, those gnolls managed to break the barrier. Seeing the barrier break James did his best to kill those gnolls with whatever energy he had left. By the time I was ready to create another barrier, James managed to kill those gnolls and only goblins were left but James went unconscious as he fell slumping on the ground."

"I made the barrier in a hurry and tried my best to maintain it all this while. Luckily those goblins weren't able to break it. But I knew in my heart that we will die here. I was not strong enough to kill goblins. But even then I kept up the barrier for hours."

Jenny said as she grit her teeth.

Just as she said their situation was dire and she was sure it will be their end. Her only regret was not being strong enough to protect James. If she was a little stronger she could have protected James.

She closed her eyes in grief. But this was her limit and just as she was about to give up. She heard some flesh-cutting sounds and screams. As she opened her eyes. She was a group of four standing in front of her.

"We are alive because of you guys. If you hadn't helped us. We would have been already dead."

Jenny said as she stood up and bowed expressing her sincere gratitude and said.

"Thank you. Thank you so much for saving us. I can't express how thankful I am. James is alive thanks to you."

Jenny said as streams of tears rolled down her eyes. She was suppressing her urge to cry and stay strong but she couldn't anymore and burst out in tears.

Her happy life was ruined but she didn't give up. She felt powerless against those monsters but she still held strong. But seeing her husband on the brink of death. Her heart was shattered.

Without James her life was meaningless. If something had happened to James she would have given up on her life there with him.

Now that they both are fine. She could only think of it as a miracle and when Alice used her skills to save James. Jenny firmly believed. Alice was a goddess and it was their greatest blessing that her husband is alive. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

Seeing Jenny cry Reina had a warming smile on her face. She stood up and went near Jenny as she comforted her.

Everyone was looking at Jenny with a warm smile. Jenny has suffered so much and they understood it very well. But she held strong to protect her husband. It just showed how much she loved him.

She was a strong woman because not many people are ready to give up their life for others.

Alice knew it very well. After all, she had seen many people abandon their loved ones just to protect themselves. Even her biological father was the reason for the death of her mother and her stepfather.

Her mind was in jeopardy after her mother's death. If she hadn't awakened an ability that still held onto her mother. She would have died then and there.

While everyone was in their thoughts they heard a groaning sound which snapped them out of their thoughts.

Everyone looked at the source of the sound as the unconscious James was waking up. Jenny saw that and rushed to his side.

James slowly opened his eyes to the sight of crying, Jenny. He could feel the emotions of relief and happiness mixed in her expression.

She just hugged him and continued crying.

"Don't... do anything dangerous... like that. I can't live without you. Promise me."

Jenny said with a shaky voice. Her eyes were swollen from crying so much.

James just patted the back of her head and said in a gentle voice.

"I'm fine now, don't worry. I promise I won't do anything dangerous like that."

His face had a relieved smile. Seeing Jenny all fine his heart calmed down. But then he remembered what had transpired. He asked Jenny.

"By the way, where are we? And what happened to us."

Jenny broke the hug and faced him as she said.

"After those people left us."

As Jenny said that James' eyes turned cold. He wanted to kill that blonde-haired boy with all the people following him.

Sensing James' feelings Jenny continued.

"After you killed those gnolls you went unconscious." Hearing that James' expression paled.

That means he left Jenny to fend off goblins on her own. Knowing that she couldn't kill them herself he hated his incompetence for not being able to protect his wife.

"I made a barrier to protect us from those monster's attacks. We would have died. But some kind-hearted people saved us."

Jenny said with a smile. She had her absolute trust in the Wolner family.

James frowned at her words. He was a little unsure of her words. He was worried about their intention behind saving them. After all, they had been already betrayed and left to die.

James looked behind Jenny and some people were standing there seemingly looking at him and Jenny.

Jenny smiled and said.

"They are the ones who not only saved us but also brought you from the brink of death."

James was shocked but he didn't want to question their intentions for now. After all, they had saved him and his wife. So he should express his gratitude first.

"Thank you so much for saving us."f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com
