Just as she made two steps forward, she was suddenly reminded about something, so she stopped and turned around, looking at Sean.
Sean was still lying on the ground, motionless. It was unknown to her if he was alive or dead.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she turned around and walked toward Sean.
The last bit of humanity left in her prevented her from leaving Sean just like that.
Hence, regardless of whether Sean was alive or dead, she couldn’t just leave him there.
Natalie walked up to where Sean was lying with much difficulty and squatted down despite the pain. Slowly, she reached out her hand to Sean.
She was delighted when she sensed the warmth in Sean’s body. Right away, she proceeded with checking his breathing.
“He’s still breathing!” Natalie exclaimed excitedly and pushed Sean lightly. “Sean, wake up!”
Still, Sean lay there, unconscious and inert.
Natalie couldn’t check the condition of his injury in the dark, but seeing as he remained senseless even as he was all soaked in the heavy rain, his injuries must be much severer than hers.
Natalie had no choice but to hold him up and take him together with her as she searched for a shelter.
All of a sudden, her hand caught hold of a hard object. It seemed to be a cell phone.
Natalie’s eyes brightened up, and she quickly reached out to fish for it. When she finally drew it out, it was indeed a cell phone. As soon as she pressed the power button, the screen lit up.
Natalie almost teared up in joy. “This is great! It’s not spoiled and still functioning.”
Having a functioning cell phone meant that she could use it to contact Shane to rescue them.
Nonetheless, she felt her last ray of hope dashed, and the smile on her face froze in an instant as she saw the display showed that there was no sim card.
It took her some time to regain her composure, and she let out a bitter laugh as though succumbing to her fate.
Even though the phone couldn’t get her connected to the outside world, it could be used for illumination.
Natalie turned on the torchlight feature on the phone and held Sean in her arms as she trod forward slowly. After a while, she came to a cave.
Natalie took Sean into the cave for shelter.
