    Chapter 828


    Vicky was a little taken aback. The door opened!


    She felt like she was dreaming when she peeked out at the empty corridor outside of the door. A cool


    breeze washed over her, bringing with it a freshness that she never experienced in the house.


    Vicky took a deep breath and instinctively stepped out of the door.


    However, that was only as far as she got before she suddenly came to a halt. Her eyes revealed the


    hesitation she was feeling inside.


    ‘Tyler will never trust me again should I end up falling into his hands the next time…’ she thought.


    Vicky had been locked up in the house for too long, and her longingness for freedom was like an


    irresistible temptation. Her heart began to beat faster with each step she took outside of the house.


    She came upon a quiet and pleasant, though somewhat remote, courtyard. There were all sorts of


    green foliage and flowers. The afternoon sun fell on her, warming andforting her. She closed her


    eyes and yawnedzily.


    Vicky loved being in the courtyard. Everything was up to her taste. At that moment, she did not mind so


    much the idea of staying there forever. However, she could not help but shudder after that.


    ‘What was I thinking? It’s impossible for Tyler and I to get back together!’ she eximed inwardly.


    ‘Besides…’


    She raised her hand and touched the back of her neck. ‘He’s already destroyed the tracking device


    found in the back of my neck, and we’ve been here for so long but no one has evere to look for us.


    Does that mean…no one really has a clue as to where we are?’


    Her heart started to beat wildly against her chest at the thought of that.


    Vicky walked to the gate of the courtyard and carefully observed the surrounding environment. The


    residential area was sparsely popted; the distance between each courtyard was very far and no one


    was walking on the road outside the gate. She decided to take a walk around and then go back to the


    house.


    After walking for about 10 minutes, Vicky started to head back to the house when a voice called out to


    her from behind.


    “Excuse me, gorgeous, but can I have a moment of your time?” said the young man who appeared in


    front of her all of a sudden.


    ‘ And you are…?” Vicky asked curiously.


    The young man had a camera around his neck, dressed in a camouge uniform, and was carrying a


    backpack. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes the moment he saw her.


    Seeing that he did not answer her question, Vicky warily took a few steps back and turned around to


    leave.


    The young man immediately snapped out of his trance when he saw her leaving.


    “Hey, don’t go! I just want to ask for directions.”


    ‘ Ask for directions?”


    “Yeah, I’m lost.” The young man scratched his head in embarrassment. “I’m a photographer who


    specializes in nature photography. I got lost while taking pictures of the beautiful scenery here. I tried toThis content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    find my way back by using the map on my phone but found it difficult to get a sense of direction since


    nothing was marked on the map.”


    “You can call someone for help.”


    The young man showed her his phone. “The signal here is very poor. My phone barely has any signal


    at all.”


    Vicky nced at his phone and found out the young man was telling the truth.


    The young man looked at Vicky and said, “I’ve been walking around for a long time but have yet to


    come across a single person. This might be a residential area, but it doesn’t seem like anyone is


    actually living in the houses. It wasn’t easy bumping into you, you know.”


    Then, a sudden thought urred to him. “I’m Monty. What’s your name?”


    Vicky did not answer his question but instead said, “I’m not very familiar with the ce either. You


    should ask someone else for directions.”
