Chapter 212: Feeling Like Life Is A Living Hell

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Nan Zhi pressed down the sorrow and panic that was threatening to flow out from her heart and climbed up from the ground.

In fact, this was also good, letting her see the reality. She needed to wake up to the truth. When the pain finally dulled, she wouldn’t let herself forget this pain when the wound finally healed!

After she had given birth to Xiaojie, she had never thought of relying on a man.

It was Mu Sihan who had given her the illusion that she could.

Never had she imagined she could become like this. Just hearing him call out the name Xue’er, she felt that her chest was bitter and uncomfortable. If one day, she could not help but fall in love with him, would she become like a walking corpse and feel pain even when breathing, if he did anything to make her feel uncomfortable?

It was a sobering thought.

Nan Zhi took a deep breath and did not continue to think.

She would not let herself fall into his hands again.

Putting out the fire, Nan Zhi picked up the lighter he had dropped on the ground and looked for the exit.

She had no experience or training in wilderness survival. Although she had done an entire loop around the cavern, she still could not find out how she could get out.

Let alone, she also did not know which direction Mu Sihan had departed. If he had really left, that meant the exit had to be from somewhere in the cave.

Nan Zhi looked around again and finally found what looked to be an exit, covered by grass and dirt.

Climbing out of the cave, Nan Zhi walked a fair distance before she finally saw light and the endless sea.

Her face burst out into an excited grin, but her expression suddenly changed.

In the vast sea, two speedboats were roaring further and further away. Yi Fan must have brought people here to look for them, but only left with Mu Sihan, leaving her here with no escape.

A trace of confusion flashed past Nan Zhi’s eyes. She jumped up and shouted, “Butler Yi, Butler Yi!”

But the wind was too strong and with the speedboat driving away, they could not hear her voice at all.

Nan Zhi watched as the speedboat became smaller and smaller, and gradually disappeared from her vision. She fell to the ground weakly.

Her long hair was blown into a mess, her eyes were wet with tears and she buried her pale face into her arms.

The taste of being abandoned and left behind was really unpleasant.

She did not know why Mu Sihan would leave her behind at the last moment. Was it because he came to realize that she was not Xue’er?

Time went, by minute by minute. One hour, two hours passed and the speedboat did not come back for her.

Nan Zhi sniffed and her eyes became red again.

If she died on this deserted island, what would happen to Xiaojie and her mother?

But she was alone and had nothing. Would she have to swim back by herself?

Her energy might not last even one third of the journey and she might be eaten alive by sharks.

When the sky was getting dark, Nan Zhi, who was already exhausted, heard the sound of a speedboat approaching the shore. A ray of hope lit up her eyes and she climbed up from the ground with difficulty and ran towards the beach.

After a long day without food and water, Nan Zhi was dizzy with hunger. As she approached the beach, she fell face first on the ground.

It did not hurt to fall on the beach, but for her sore body, it was like using up the last remnants of her energy and she could not get up for some time.

It felt like life was a living hell.

A tall figure stopped in front of Nan Zhi.

Nan Zhi’s breath tightened and thought that it was Mu Sihan coming to save her. She raised her head and looked at him, her eyes shining with hope, but it constricted after seeing a handsome face with a faint smile.

“Tsk, tsk, how pitiful.” The man bent down and stretched out his hands to pull Nan Zhi up.

Nan Zhi smiled slightly and said in a calm and cold voice, “How did you find me here?”
