Chapter 525 Captured Again

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.

umping 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.

She then picked up the crutch she had thrown aside and limped her way toward the ocean.

While walking, Christina had been praying for the village chief’s boat to still be there,

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.

Just like that, they brought Christina back to Vito’s house and locked her up inside the room again. This time, they

even made sure to board up the window she escaped through.

Miriam dropped her kind attitude and told Christina that she would only give the latter food if she stayed nd married

Vito.

Otherwise, she would starve Christina until she changed her mind.

I won’t marry Vito, Ms. Landry. Also, it is illegal for you to keep me here like this,” Christina answered while trying

her best to suppress her feelings of fear.

Illegal?” It was clearly Miriam’s first time hearing such a word. Her eyes were filled with confusion instead. of fear

when she responded, “I really like you, Christina, and so does Vito. He’s the one who saved your ife, so why won’t

you marry him?”

Miriam then pulled up a chair, sat down in front of Christina, and tried to talk her into changing her nind.

However, no amount of talking would do anything if the person refused to listen.

Sure enough, Christina and Miriam’s conversation did not end well.

In order to force Christina to submit, Miriam stopped providing her with food and water.

Christina simply sat next to the door and watched the yard for movement.

Her hearing had become a lot more sensitive during her time in that room, so she could hear almost everything

that happened inside that house. She heard Vito returning shortly after Miriam went to bed.

As Vito looked like a kind and honest man, Christina figured she would have an easier time getting through to him.

She then knocked on the door to gain Vito’s attention without waking Miriam.

Vito quickly walked toward the room when he heard the sound. Right as he pressed his car against the door, he

heard Christina calling out to him softly, “Vito? Vito, are you there?”

Vito was about to respond but held his tongue in shame when he recalled himself going against his promise.

He had woken up at dawn and tried to bring Christina away, but Miriam caught him in the act.

Vito was never good at telling lies, so a little bit of questioning was all it took for Miriam to find out about his plans to

leave the island with Christina.

That was what led to the events earlier that day.

Vito felt ashamed of himself just thinking about what happened, and he just stood there in silence.

Christina had kept her ear pressed against the door, so she knew that Vito was still standing outside the door.

He is probably feeling guilty for what happened, but this is no time to be playing the blame game!

With that in mind, Christina said, “Vito, I don’t blame you for what happened today. I just have a few questions for

you.”

Feeling relieved that Christina did not blame him, Vito looked up at the door and said, “Go ahead, Christina.”

Do you like me?”

/ito blushed the moment he heard that, but his dark skin made it hard to notice.

Christina could tell from his silence that he clearly liked her.

This is good news… I’ll have a chance at escaping as long as Vito likes me.

With that in mind, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked. “Do you know that I’m married with kids?”

While most men would care about such things, the people in that village did not.

As Vito liked Christina, it was only natural that he wouldn’t mind it either. “I know, I…”

All right, then. I guess this strategy won’t work.

Christina closed her eyes and tried to think of another plan.

She then changed the topic by calling Vito a good man and claiming that she kind of liked the life on the island..

Vito was overjoyed when he heard all of that. He even believed that Christina liked him as well.

“Although I think you are a good man, Vito, I cannot accept your mother’s decision to have us get married right

away,” Christina said.

Fearing that she would refuse to marry him, Vito got nervous when he heard that.

“I’m in a hurry to leave this island because I miss my two kids. They’re only five. People say that the hearts of

parents and their children are connected. I don’t even know how they’re doing right now,” G continued in an

attempt to gain his sympathy.

She even started sobbing after saying that.

Vito anxiously wanted to comfort her, but Christina ignored him completely.

Miriam was holding on to the key to that door, and Vito couldn’t bring himself to ask her for it this la night. As such,

all he could do was sit outside the room all night.

Christina tried her best to fall asleep as she needed to conserve as much energy as possible to make her

escape.

“Vito? Why are you sleeping here?” Miriam exclaimed in shock and heartache when she woke up and saw him lying

outside Christina’s room.

Her voice was so loud that she woke both Vito and Christina.

Christina kept quiet and tried to listen to their conversation. “Good morning. Mom.” Vito responded while getting on

his feet.

344 Not wanting to wake Christina up, he then dragged Miriam to the kitchen before saying, “Mom, could you

nake Christina some breakfast?”

Miriam gave him a smack on the head. “You two aren’t even married yet, and you are already taking care.

of her?”

ito scratched his head as he gave Miriam a summary of what Christina had told him last night.

She changed her mind?” Miriam asked suspiciously.
