Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 380

380 Running Away

Ryan had been staring intently at the radar signal receiver. After a While, he stood up and yelled in the living room, "I just found Anna's phone signal. | found it"

A crowd rushed from the living room into the study immediately. Wayne was the first to run over, followed by Jasper, Peace, Karl, Andrew, Mona, and a few members of Emily's Blue Eagle Reserves. They all couldn't believe what they were hearing.

Wayne asked, "When did this happen? How? Where?"

"Right now! There was only a brief signal just now, and it has disappeared."

Ryan became agitated and even forgot how to operate it. Jasper shoved him aside and began typing into the complicated instrument. He smiled as he looked at the red dot on the satellite map. He said, "That's Anna's phone signal. We can go find her now!"

Wayne said as he was delighted, "Karl, tell the police about this. Tell them the location and let them rescue Anna with us."

"Vm on my way," Karl called the police, while Peace was on the verge of tears.

Meanwhile, Anna followed Tracy to the river, where she discovered the broken-down raft. Anna realized they couldn't get away by taking this shabby raft. As a result, they began work on a new one.

When it was nearly dark, Anna and Tracy returned to the cave, and they covered up the half-completed raft with weeds. Mike delivered the food to them as usual in the evening. Tracy didn't complain about food '379 Running Away anymore because she was too tired. She didn't even mind that Mike didn't leave.

Anna sat far away from Mike and took her time eating. She hid two loaves of bread in her pocket in case they became hungry while floating down the river.

"What would you like to eat tomorrow?"

"Steak!" exclaimed Tracy immediately. She looked at Anna and said, "Also, I want some bread! Give me some more bread"

"Why do you suddenly like bread?" Mike asked in doubt.

"They're delicious." "Really?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? All | want to do is eat bread!"

"Allright, I'll bring you bread tomorrow." Mike said. He looked meaningfully at Anna before leaving, sending chills down her spine.

The wind howled outside the cave at night. Tracy fell asleep after Anna told her a story. Anna tucked her in and walked cautiously into the woods. She still tried to repair the raft.

"Are you planning to leave?" she heard someone ask as she struggled to lower the raft into the water.

Alarmed, Anna asked, "Who is it?"

Mike stepped out of the forest. His shadow appeared extraordinarily long and slender in the moonlight. And he gave Anna a cold stare as if she were prey.

In a fluster, Anna explained, "No, it. it's not what you think itis. I'm not trying to run away. I'm helping your daughter test this raft to see if it works. She wants to get out of here, so I need to make sure she'll be '379 Running Away safe."

"Would you believe that excuse yourself?" Mike sneered.

Anna began to shake all over. She gritted her teeth and said, "I can give you the money you want if you let me go."

"Come with me." Mike said.

Anna had no choice but to follow him. They arrived at another shore a few moments later. She noticed a fishing boat anchored in the water with a young girl inside. And Anna recognized that it was Tracy.

Mike said, "The raft will not work in this river, and it will sink before reaching the shore. You can leave the island if you use this boat." "Do you want me to bring your daughter?"

"If you want to go, you have to bring her with you. I already put some things | want to give her on this boat. Don't ever come back after you leave. If she asks you where | am later, just tell her I'm dead."

"You don't want her to leave the island, do you?" Anna asked, surprised.

"Yes, but she can't spend the rest of her life on this island. I don't want her to end up like her mother."

By then, it was almost dawn, and Anna didn't dare to waste any time. Mike pushed the boat hard against the shore after she got into it. The boat then swayed and moved toward the river's center.

Anna sat on the boat's bow, looking at Mike, who was standing on the river, feeling conflicted. But she was only sorry for a moment before being overcome by the joy of getting out of here. She was ecstatic because she didn't believe she could escape.
