Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 268

Christopher ended up choking on the piece of abalone I had stuffed another into his mouth to stop him from striking up a conversation.

He gulped down a few mouthfuls of the water I handed him. After he caught his breath, he reached over in an attempt to caress my cheek.

I placed his palms on my cheeks and said, “I’m not going to listen to you! Just hang in there with me, Christopher! Since your siblings are the bigshots around here, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time until they reach us! Are you telling me you don’t have faith in your family? Well, guess what? I’m pretty sure they’re going to reach us soon!”

The man responded with a self-deprecating smirk and swirled his wrist to take a glance at his watch. Truth be told, the watch was no longer functioning. I removed it on his behalf and muttered, “Has water entered it? Actually, it doesn’t make any difference even if you’re aware of the time, seeing as to how we’re stranded.”

Christopher put on the watch on my behalf and whispered, “This is the latest type of watch in the market. It has a global positioning system installed. I have accidentally spoiled it, so I’m afraid the battery is no longer working as well as it’s supposed to. Take this to a place with moonlight and expose it to the light as much as you can. If it works, I want you to mess around with it as soon as it reaches twelve o’clock. It’ll notify others of our precise location.”

I nodded and took note of his instructions. Although there were a lot of stars, we hadn’t been able to see the moon the past few days. I secretly prayed we would get to see it soon; perhaps it would plant seeds of hope in all of us.

After spending another few hours in the middle of nowhere, I was on the verge of dehydrating due to the scorching sun. Unable to withstand the thirst, I continued gulping my saliva to keep myself sane.

Afraid that I would accidentally finish all of Christopher’s water, I started searching high and low around the island in the hope of getting us both something to eat. I tried gathering water from a gigantic tree, but luck just wasn’t on my side.

When I started chewing the leaves, I grew increasingly thirsty due to the astringent flavors of the leaves. In the end, I started chewing a few strands of grass to alleviate the awful stench in my mouth for temporary relief.

I carried on with my journey and continued searching for something edible left behind by others along the beach.
