Chapter 268
Christopher ended up choking on the piece of abalone I had stuffed another into his mouth to stop him
from striking up a conversation.
He gulped down a few mouthfuls of the water I handed him. After he caught his breath, he reached
over in an attempt to caress my cheek.
I ced his palms on my cheeks and said, “I’m not going to listen to you! Just hang in there with me,
Christopher! Since your siblings are the bigshots around here, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time until
they reach us! Are you telling me you don’t have faith in your family? Well, guess what? I’m pretty sure
they’re going to reach us soon!”
The man responded with a self-deprecating smirk and swirled his wrist to take a nce at his watch.
Truth be told, the watch was no longer functioning. I removed it on his behalf and muttered, “Has water
entered it? Actually, it doesn’t make any difference even if you’re aware of the time, seeing as to how
we’re stranded.”

Christopher put on the watch on my behalf and whispered, “This is thetest type of watch in the
market. It has a global positioning system installed. I have identally spoiled it, so I’m afraid the
battery is no longer working as well as it’s supposed to. Take this to a ce with moonlight and expose
it to the light as much as you can. If it works, I want you to mess around with it as soon as it reaches
twelve o’clock. It’ll notify others of our precise location.”
I nodded and took note of his instructions. Although there were a lot of stars, we hadn’t been able to
see the moon the past few days. I secretly prayed we would get to see it soon; perhaps it would nt
seeds of hope in all of us.
After spending another few hours in the middle of nowhere, I was on the verge of dehydrating due to
the scorching sun. Unable to withstand the thirst, I continued gulping my saliva to keep myself sane.
Afraid that I would identally finish all of Christopher’s water, I started searching high and low around
the ind in the hope of getting us both something to eat. I tried gathering water from a gigantic tree,
but luck just wasn’t on my side.
When I started chewing the leaves, I grew increasingly thirsty due to the astringent vors of the
leaves. In the end, I started chewing a few strands of grass to alleviate the awful stench in my mouth
for temporary relief.
I carried on with my journey and continued searching for something edible left behind by others along
the beach.
It was then I heard the voice of a woman moaning. The sounds made me think someone had sustained
a serious injury and was in desperate need of help. As soon as I rushed over and figured out the things
going on, I was overwhelmed by a sense of disgust.
It turned out that Crystal and Lyle were in the middle of a raunchy session. The injured man was
leaning against the gigantic boulder, allowing Crystal to let loose of herself.
I couldn’t believe they had the mood for something of that sort when they were on the verge of losing
their lives.
Hold on a second! Just how unlucky am I to run into them whenever they’re in the middle of a raunchy
session?
Afraid I would startle the intimate duo, I tiptoed my way away from them to save us the trouble of
embarrassing one another. When I stumbled upon something hard on my feet, I leaned over in
anticipation of getting myself something edible.
Unfortunately, it was a mirror. When I was about to leave, I heard Crystal asking Lyle, “Yvonne has
hidden a bottle of water! Shall we deceive her and get her to hand it over to us?”
Lyle hesitated, seemingly against the idea. “Hmm. I don’t think that’s very wise of you.”
“Lyle, I’m not going to give up on you and I just yet! Since Yvonne has made up her mind to join
Christopher in hell, it’s a waste of water! If that’s the case, it’ll be better if she hands it over to us!”
“What exactly are you up to?” Lyle asked cautiously.
“Yvonne has always been a sympathetic woman! Ask her to do you a favor of treating your wound! I’ll
sneak my way over and steal her bottle of water away from her when she’s upied!”
