Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 280

It was an ordinary watch that Christopher gave me so that I would feel more reassured. I picked up the watch and fumbled around at the pusher and crown, but to no avail. The watch hands were still motionless.

Feeling defeated, I flung it onto the ground and let out a screeching wail before covering my face in a sob.

Why is God always so cruel to me? Why doesn’t he grant me my very last wish on earth? I only want Christopher to live. Is that too much to ask for?

“Christopher…Christopher…”

Somewhere on the ground, unbeknownst to me, the minute and second hand of the watch started to go around. They continued to do so for a few rounds before it stopped with a click, as though something had been unlocked inside the clockwork. The sound was feeble against the crashing ocean waves around me.

In an attempt to sustain Christopher’s life, I bit my fingertips to feed more blood into his mouth. However, they were all damaged by too many cuts and abrasions for me to get much fresh blood. As I grew more desperate, I picked up broken glass and slit my arm open. Once fresh blood started to dribble down my arm, I quickly positioned it on Christopher’s mouth.

“Yvonne, you should live on…” uttered Lyle weakly. He saw what I did and furrowed his brows disapprovingly. “You’ll be able to last for at least two more days if you stop doing that.”

“I can’t just sit here and watch Christopher die in front of me.” Leaning my icy cold body against a rock, every breath I took was laborious. Even a short reply like that had rendered me panting uncontrollably.

“Only if… Only if…” Lyle’s voice shook. He was unable to finish his sentence.

I was too weak to analyze what he meant by “only if” when my vision started to blur. Before long, my vision went black, and I could no longer see anything. Christopher…

I fell into a trance, alternating between being unconscious and a dazed state. I would hold onto Christopher when I was awake. When I passed out, I remembered dreaming. In my dream, I was wearing a white wedding gown and walking down an aisle. At the end of the aisle stood Christopher, whose gaze was fixed steadily at me.
