A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 525

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.
