A Crazy Night Novel

Chapter 486 Stop Running

The warmth of Nathaniel’s palm enveloped Christina’s small hand, instilling an inexplicable sense of security in her heart.

The two walked along the mountain road. Not long after, Christina started to feel exhausted, and cold sweat drenched her back.

“Are you tired?” Nathaniel noticed her pace was slowing, and she wasn’t able to keep up.

Christina shook her head slightly. She didn’t want to say it out loud, even if she was tired. Nathaniel had taken care of her the whole night, providing her with all the food and water. Regardless of how fit he was, he couldn’t endure the harsh environment and conditions for so long.

Nathaniel let go of her hand, bent over, and commanded, “Get up.”

“No. You must be tired too.” Christina was reluctant to let him carry her. She had drunk a few mouthfuls of water earlier, but Nathaniel hadn’t taken even a single sip.

“Hurry up. We don’t have time to waste.”

Nathaniel grabbed her hands and pulled her close to his back. She leaned against his broad back and crossed her arms around his neck.

Their bodies were tightly pressed together.

On his way in, Nathaniel had made markings on the road, so they quickly found their way out following the signs. When they were a few kilometers from the main road, they finally met with the rescue team.

Sebastian had wanted to search for them last night, but a storm had made it impossible. The rescue team was unfamiliar with the mountain roads, so rushing in unprepared would only increase the risk.

At dawn, they immediately went into the mountain as soon as the rain had stopped. Unexpectedly, they encountered the couple so soon.

“Are you all right, Mr. Hadley? Are you hurt?” Sebastian asked while offering him a bottle of water.

The first thing Nathaniel did after receiving the water was offer it to Christina, letting her gulp half the bottle of water before he finished the rest.
