Chapter 276


    Overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness, I couldn’t think of anything to get myself out of the dire


    situation. “Can you stop pulling my leg, Christopher? You’re just trying to give me the shock of my life,


    aren’t you?”


    After a moment, I shrieked, “Stop pulling my leg, Christopher! I’m afraid of losing you! Wake up and talk


    to me! We’re about to reach the best part of our lives after bracing ourselves through the worst! Stay


    with me, Christopher!”


    “Yvonne, pull yourself together!” Lyle yelled when he noticed I wouldn’t stop from catapulting in the


    direction of the sea as if I had lost my mind.


    He must have thought I was about tomit suicide. However, that wasn’t the case — I had no


    intention to give up just yet. I merely wished to get Christopher something to eat.


    In the end, I found an oyster in the sea and returned to Christopher’s side with the oyster without drying


    myself.


    “Christopher, I found an oyster! I’m sure it tastes great! Hurry up, and give it a try! You’re going to be


    fine after finishing it!”


    I shucked the oyster and ced it next to Christopher’s mouth. When he didn’t respond to me, I tried


    stuffing it into his mouth after chewing it, but it didn’t work. The food gushed out of his mouth instead.


    It was then Crystal approached me with her arms tucked around her waist. “Since he’s about to die,


    why don’t you save it for yourself? At least you’ll get to live another few days.”


    “Stay away from me!”


    The moment I threw the oyster in her direction, she rushed over to pick it up and reprimanded me,


    “Hand the food over to me instead of wasting it if you’re not going to finish it!”


    Staring at the shell of the oyster, I lost myself in a train of thought as I suddenly recalled the experience


    of cannibalism Christopher had shared with me. I bit my finger with all my might and stuffed it into


    Christopher’s mouth once the blood started gushing out of my wound.


    That was the sole source of hydration and nutrition avable for the man. Unaware of the things going


    on, Christopher continued sucking my blood and running his tongue across my wound. When I moved


    my finger away, he licked his lips and muttered, “G-Give me more…”


    I continued biting my finger before stuffing it into his mouth. He finally returned to his senses after


    sucking my blood. I then held him in my arms and instructed in a hushed voice, “Take all you need if it


    keeps you alive.”

    It was a tormenting experience; there seemed to be no end to our misery. I couldn’t even bring myself


    to stand anymore.


    I shakily supported myself with a stick and brought myself to the beach to get myself something to eat


    after ensuring Christopher was still alive. There was no way I could make my way to the sea anymore.


    Otherwise, I would end up being a meal of the nasty creatures in the sea. I was so fragile to the point I


    couldn’t even withstand the waves hitting the shore and ended up falling again.


    I crawled my way across the beach and ended up bruising myself all over the body. It felt awful


    whenever my wounds came across the seawater. After searching high and low, I finally found a hermit


    crab behind a huge boulder.


    Without a second thought, I swallowed it, aware that I needed something nutritious to keep the supply


    of blood for Christopher. I wasn’t sure if I could pull myself together for another few days, but I wouldn’t


    give up as long as the man was still alive.


    By the time I returned to the base, I saw Crystal searching for something to eat around Christopher.


    She started cursing when she failed to get her hands on anything edible. After she made her way back


    to Lyle’s side, she kicked him in frustration before taking a seat next to him.
