Chapter 90 Both Are Mentally Ill
Kendall pondered for a moment. "It's possible."
Otherwise, there's no way to explain why the program team hasn't returned after such a long time.
user @LovesickGirl: "Hahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter!!!"
user @CutieMiMi: "Program team, in danger!"
user @ChasingWinds: "Henry successfully led Kendall's thoughts astray, haha."
user @RainDrop: "What are the two of them planning to do now? Self-rescue?"
Although Henry said this, he still found it hard to believe that something serious could have really happened to the program team, especially since they were fine when they arrived yesterday!
But after hearing Kendall's answer, Henry was filled with dread.
On one hand, he felt this shouldn't happen, and on the other, he thought, if the director and staff were fine, why haven't they returned yet?
Henry's face turned pale. "Then what should we do now?"
Kendall glanced at him. "Don't panic. This is just our own speculation. It's possible the program team is already on their way to pick us up."
Henry looked miserable, completely unconsoled by Kendall's words.
Kendall returned to her tent and took out the island map the director had previously given her, examining it carefully. The map not only had the precise location of the safe house but also marked the locations of water sources and supply bags.
Kendall pointed a finger. "Since we're free today, why don't we go look for the program team's supply bags nearby, as well as this water source closest to us."
With everyone unaware of the program team's prolonged absence, they could only prepare for the worst on this deserted island.
Kendall made up her mind. "If the program team doesn't show up today, we'll have to rely on self-rescue."
In fact, she had another suspicion in her heart, but Kendall didn't voice it. Regardless, they needed to go into the forest and check the situation first.
user @PuppyLove: "Kendall's thinking is excellent!"
user @TopCommentor: "Finally, someone suggests looking for supply bags and a water source!"
user @FeedMeRamen: "Whenever Kendall speaks, it gives me a feeling of being especially safe."
user @TiredOfLife: "After watching from yesterday to today, I'm inexplicably becoming a fan of Kendall. I feel like her emotions are very stable sometimes."
Henry was just a young man in his twenties. The reason he signed up for this show was the generous payment he was getting, so he had no idea such an unexpected situation would occur. With the program team absent for a day and a night, to be honest, Henry was a little scared inside.
But seeing the power in Kendall's words and her steady, determined gaze, Henry miraculously calmed down.
The two packed up and followed the map's instructions into the forest.
Meanwhile, Jasper was perhaps embarrassed that everyone had seen him being rubbed into the ground by Kendall.
After Mia and the others left Kendall's sight, Jasper clenched his fist and said angrily, "I didn't sleep well with the rain last night.
I think I'm feeling a little unwell, and my head is dizzy. "
user @DieHardEzraFan: "No wonder Mia's fiancé was beaten so badly. It turns out he's unwell."
user @SophiaIsMyWife: "That makes sense. Raining in the forest all night, not eating or sleeping well... anyone would feel weak."
Hearing this, Mia immediately showed a worried expression. "Jasper, you're not getting sick, are you?! It's all my fault... I shouldn't have asked Kendall to borrow her tent. Otherwise, you wouldn't have clashed with her."
Then, Mia sighed again. "Kendall is truly something. Why would she bring up something that happened so long ago today? You paid for all of her hospital fees. That matter should have been forgotten long ago."
user @CoolUncle: "Ah... Mia's words? Hmm? Do you know what you're saying?"
user @UnapologeticallyHonest: "If I remember correctly, Kendall just said she was hospitalized for a month? Wasn't paying the medical expenses a basic necessity?"
user @UnbiasedOpinion: "Let alone being acquaintances, even if a stranger was knocked unconscious and lying in the hospital for a month because of you, you'd not only have to pay the medical expenses but also bear full responsibility for the incident!"
user @CutieMiMi: "Exactly! Were the compensation for emotional distress and other fees paid?"
user @DetectiveSoo: "No wonder Kendall kicked all the Hansen family members into the pool after leaving the hospital... Now it seems like there was a reason."
user @RainDrop: "If I were knocked unconscious in the hospital for a month and the other party had this attitude, I would absolutely sue them until they went bankrupt! Kendall is still too honest. She just gave him a beating, and not even her real body!"
user @LoveChocolate: "He deserved to be beaten!"
user @TopCommentor: "You kept saying Kendall has twisted morals, now I want to ask Mia's fans, what kind of rubbish is in your main character's head?"
As the '30 Days of Survival' program grew more popular, more and more netizens watched the live stream. These netizens were not fans of any particular guest, they were just interested in the show. Naturally, they judged the matter objectively, without any bias.
Previously, Mia's fans might have been able to leverage their numbers to suppress the comments of others. However, in front of these millions of viewers, the number of fans speaking up for Mia seemed insignificant.
Mia was unaware that her words had just lowered her image in the minds of many viewers. She was busy trying to gain favour with Jasper. Sure enough, after she finished speaking, the look on Jasper's face visibly improved.
The other guests were silent, not participating in Mia and Jasper's conversation at all.
They all slowly walked back to the place where they had pitched their tents yesterday. After the tide had receded, the spot where the tents were set up was a mess.
Yesterday, everyone scrambled out of their tents in a hurry. Only Daniel, Jasper, Ezra, and Elijah remembered to take their backpacks with them in the chaos.
The backpacks of the other few people, left behind in the tents, were now unrecognizable after being soaked in seawater, and many of the items inside were unusable.
The tents were the same, several had been completely washed away by the seawater.
Only three tents remained visible on the beach, but they had all been collapsed by the waves.
Everyone silently stepped forward to gather their belongings.
Liam rummaged through his backpack for medicinal cream and rubbed it onto Jasper. Jasper was not only bruised and swollen from the beating but also had taken many of Kendall's punches on his body, leaving him sore all over. As Liam reached out to apply the medicine, Jasper gasped in pain, wincing.
Seeing the others collecting scattered supplies on the beach, Jasper stopped concealing his feelings and quietly said to Liam, "What is going on with Kendall? How did her strength suddenly become so immense!"
"...I don't know. She's been like this since she left the hospital," Liam said, looking at Jasper's miserable state, which reminded him of the severe beating he and his twin had also received from Kendall half a month ago.
Jasper's expression was grim, "She really was raised in the countryside! Just brute force, not lady-like at all, no manners! With her violent temper, let alone our Reed family being disgusted, even any other slightly decent family wouldn't want someone like that as a daughter-in-law."
If Kendall and Mia hadn't been switched at birth, Kendall would be Jasper's real fiancée, so it was normal for him to say these things from his perspective.
However, the viewers watching the live stream were confused when they heard his words.
user @AngryTeen: "What the heck? What's wrong with being raised in the countryside? Why is he attacking people from the countryside?"
user @SiSiOnTop: "People from the countryside have no manners? Over ninety percent of the people in our country come from farming backgrounds, are they all mannerless?"
user @WorkHard: "I also grew up in the countryside.
Since childhood, I had to feed chickens, ducks, and pigs.
After school, I had to go cut grass for the pigs, rush back to cook, prepare food, and wash all the family's clothes.
.. I've been doing a lot of chores since I was little, and I'm stronger than many men.
If that's the case, does it mean I shouldn't get married? "
user @InterestedPasserby: "The fact that you can say those words, Jasper, means your heart is utterly stupid and wicked!
Your beating was not innocent at all! You caused Kendall to be knocked unconscious and lie in the hospital for a month.
Now, she just gave you a beating, didn't demand compensation, and didn't send you to jail, and you still think you're right? !"
user @CutieMiMi: "Kendall isn't his fiancée, how can he be so rude as to say those things?"
user @TopCommentor: "Verdict reached! Mia x Jasper. Both are mentally ill. Suggested to be locked down!"
user @DetectiveSoo: "Something's not right. I feel like the relationship between them is off."
Jasper's words angered the masses. Viewers were united in their indignation, and their impression of Jasper was terrible, leading them to also dislike Mia, his fiancée.
Under normal circumstances, or in public, Jasper would never have said those words. He didn't know about the live broadcast and only thought Liam could hear him, so he couldn't help but vent his frustration and reveal his true thoughts. This led to the
current situation.
Viewers everywhere were suddenly turned off!
