Overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness, I couldn’t think of anything to get myself out of the dire situation. “Can you stop pulling my leg, Christopher? You’re just trying to give me the shock of my life, aren’t you?”
After a moment, I shrieked, “Stop pulling my leg, Christopher! I’m afraid of losing you! Wake up and talk to me! We’re about to reach the best part of our lives after bracing ourselves through the worst! Stay with me, Christopher!”
“Yvonne, pull yourself together!” Lyle yelled when he noticed I wouldn’t stop from catapulting in the direction of the sea as if I had lost my mind.
He must have thought I was about to commit suicide. However, that wasn’t the case — I had no intention to give up just yet. I merely wished to get Christopher something to eat.
In the end, I found an oyster in the sea and returned to Christopher’s side with the oyster without drying myself.
“Christopher, I found an oyster! I’m sure it tastes great! Hurry up, and give it a try! You’re going to be fine after finishing it!”
I shucked the oyster and placed it next to Christopher’s mouth. When he didn’t respond to me, I tried stuffing it into his mouth after chewing it, but it didn’t work. The food gushed out of his mouth instead.
It was then Crystal approached me with her arms tucked around her waist. “Since he’s about to die, why don’t you save it for yourself? At least you’ll get to live another few days.”
“Stay away from me!”
