Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 505

Imogen's declaration left Johanna stunned.

"Ms. Russell, you can't! The rainforest is too dangerous, and you're close to giving birth. This is far too risky!" The maid tried to stop her.

"Yes, think about the baby, Imogen. What if the stress causes a premature birth? Let me go instead. I promise to keep you informed of everything!" Johanna shook her head.

Despite their desperate attempts to dissuade her, the usually gentle Imogen stood her ground. Her tone was firm, leaving no room for argument. "I've made up my mind. Make the arrangements!"

Left with no choice, the maid set about preparing for her journey. The preparations were extensive, including medical supplies and two private doctors to ensure her safety.

The plane was soon ready, and Johanna helped Imogen onto it.

By the time their group reached the outskirts of the rainforest, night was falling.

From the helicopter, the rainforest showed signs of recent human activity. Muddy footprints marked the ground, and slashed vegetation indicated paths carved with blades.

After a day-long flight, Imogen's face was pale. However, thanks to her good health, her unborn child was fine.

As the helicopter began its descent, Imogen sighed. "Why not simply fly over the area?"

"Ms. Russell, the rainforest is shrouded in a dense fog. It's impossible for the helicopter to go further," one of the crew members explained.

"Alright." Imogen nodded. Though anxious, she understood there was no way to win over nature.

The Russell family's men were handpicked and trained by Stephan himself. They were both loyal and capable. Once the helicopter landed, they quickly set up a camp in a large open area, creating protective barriers and scattering repellents to ward off insects and snakes.
