Chapter 2098
It was particrly cold at night.
Rachel Wood was only wearing thin, worn-out woolen clothes that the men had given her.
She could feel the frigid breeze through the holey fabric, making her shiver uncontrobly.
She endured the cold, not daring to stop for even a second knowing that she wasn''t safe until she left this ce.
Sebastian Brenand was still waiting for her.
She had to make her way back quickly.
Right then, Rachel genuinely regretted caving to his parents'' threats. None of this would have happened if she hadn''t.
Biting her lip, she persisted forward without stopping to rest.
At the break of dawn, she couldn''t walk anymore.
Right then, she spotted an empty tar road without any cars in sight.
She could see a road sign showing directions to Merryview City a fair distance away.
She was 62 miles away from Merryview City.
Rachel recognized this ce as an impoverished city far away from Antis. It turned out that she was sold to a vige beneath this city.
She was hungry and tired then, so she reached for a handful of dried grass and chewed as she walked, needing to regain her stamina until she waspletely safe.
She couldn''t afford to sit down and rest.
Intense exhaustion made her dizzy, feeling like she was dragging weights behind her.
The skin on the soles of her feet was already severely wounded, with pus oozing out of her wounds.
However, Rachel still pressed on, oblivious to the pain as her feet grew numb from the cold.
For once, she was most grateful for the cold.
Following the signs along the empty road, she kept walking and headed in Merryview City''s direction.
It was deserted on the road, but she''d find a way once she made it to the busier parts of the town.
Of course, this was only the worst-case scenario as she believed that she would bump into someone.
Even if she had been unlucky, she wouldn''t be on an unlucky streak forever.
Around nine o''clock in the morning, Rachel spotted a truck passing by.
Her heart filled with hope, she waved her hands at it with all her might, but the truck didn''t stop.
Disappointment weighed her down again, along with exhaustion

She felt like a frail and helpless woman right then.
After taking a few steps forward, she noticed a ck Volkswagen Santana from afar, prompting her to run to the center of the road impulsively, opening her arms wide as she faced the car.
At that moment, she started praying again, hoping the car would stop.
Soon, the car stopped in front of her just as she wished.
Rachel quickly approached the side of the car and gently tapped on window. "Can you please help me out

City?"
Once she made it to Merryview City and located the police, she wouldn''t be afraid of not being able to go home.
Rachel could make out a female driver through a dusty window.
The middle-aged woman seemed like a decent person.
Soon, the woman nodded, and Rachel immediately got into the car.
