One Night Surprise

Chapter 406 Three Months Pregnant

Courtney followed Fatso through the bamboo forest over to the northern side of the island. Neither of them spoke throughout their trek.

She was perpetually nervous. At first, she wondered if Fatso planned to find a spot where no one could find her before killing her. But then she remembered there was hardly anyone on this island. Couldn’t he just kill her anywhere?

As her mind ran through those scenarios, Fatso said, “We’re here.” She then stopped in her tracks.

In front of them was the shore of the river. A fishing boat was tied up among the reeds in the water. There was a skinny, unmoving figure on the boat as well. When Courtney got closer and took a look at the figure, her expression shifted. “Dawn?”

Fatso had an even look on his face as he said blandly, “Your raft isn’t usable. It’ll sink before it reaches shore. If you want to leave, you’ll have to use this boat.”

“You want me to take your daughter along?”

“If you want to leave, then you’ll have to take her.” Fatso’s face was blank. Courtney couldn’t make out much of what he was feeling. “I’ve packed some items for her on the boat. Once you two leave, don’t ever come back. If she ever asks, say that I’m dead.”

Courtney stiffened up a little, unable to understand what was going on. “I thought you wouldn’t let her leave the island?”

“She can’t possibly live the rest of her life here. She can’t end up like her mother. I cannot allow her to end up like that either.”

They were running out of time; the sun was about to come up. Courtney didn’t dare to keep questioning him. After she got on the boat, Fatso pushed the boat away, and the vessel proceeded to float toward the middle of the river.

Courtney watched Fatso from where she sat on the boat, a mixture of feelings welling up inside of her. However, it was only for a moment. After all, her heart was still thumping in joy from being able to leave the island. She couldn’t feel much of anything else now.

Not long after the boat left the island shore, Courtney could see smoke rising from the island in the distance. Soon, golden flames engulfed the entire island, burning their way up into the sky. Her heart stopped for a moment, and she stood up on the boat. What on earth is happening on the island?
