Let Me Stay The Night

Christina had a bad feeling in her gut when she did not receive a response.

She kept telling herself to calm down as she glanced about the room. Since she couldn’t open the door rom the inside, she had no choice but to find another way out.

It wasn’t long before her gaze fell upon the window in the corner.

The window wasn’t big, but Christina had a slender figure and flexible limbs, so squeezing through it would not be a problem for her.

However, the window was over a meter above the ground, and Christina’s leg was injured. Jumping out of the window at such a height would only worsen her injury.

“Oh, screw it!” In order to return to Nathaniel as soon as possible, Christina clenched her teeth and umped out of the window.

Sure enough, an intense pain shot through her injured leg when it hit the ground. Tears came flowing out of her eyes, but she forced herself to bear the pain and propped herself up.

The roads were muddy after the typhoon hit the area. Christina was in such a hurry that she didn’t notice a hole in the ground that was covered by water. She ended up tripping and falling face-first into the mud.

That was when someone could be heard shouting in the background. “She must be heading toward the ocean! Hurry up and find her!”

That voice… It sounds like Miriam’s!

Fearing that she would be spotted, Christina didn’t dare get back on her feet. Instead, she dragged herself into the bushes beside the road and hid behind a shrub,

“Ms. Landry, are you serious about having that woman marry Vito?”

“Vito saved her life, so it’s only natural that she marries him!”

Christina shuddered when she heard Miriam say that.

As expected… People who live far away from society are bound to have a backward mentality.

As the sound of footsteps got closer. Christina didn’t even dare breathe out loud for fear of being caught.

Unfortunately for her, Miriam had dozens of people help with the search for Christina, so they were able to find her fairly easily.
