Even if someone eventually came to rescue them, there was no guarantee they’d survive long enough to be saved. They had no food, no water, and their bodies were trapped beneath the rubble.

So the moment the man heard there was a water bottle nearby, he immediately started feeling around in the darkness.

Sure enough, his hand landed on something round. Unfortunately, that brat had found it at the same time.

Mom! He’s taking my water bottle!”

Ryan was so panicked that he was about to cry. He tugged desperately on the bottle’s strap with all his strength, but it did absolutely nothing.

Lydia steadied her voice and pleaded, “Sir, my son is only eight. Could you please give the water bottle back to him? My husband escaped, and he’ll bring help back soon. Once they arrive, we’ll all be rescued…”

The blood loss was making her weaker by the minute.

Before she could finish, the man sneered disdainfully. “Who knows if your man is even coming back? I’m not an idiot. Water is life right now. It’s already in my hands. Why the hell would I give it back?

“And what does your kid being eight have to do with me. He’s your son, not mine. Since I got hold of this breath!” bottle, it belongs to me now. Stop wasting your

With that, he yanked hard and pulled the bottle away.

The bottle felt heavy, which meant there was plenty of water inside.

It was a children’s water bottle with a built–in straw, making it easy to drink.

Moments later, loud gulps echoed through the darkness.

“That’s mine…”

Tears rolled down Ryan’s face.

His throat was so dry.

It felt like he had swallowed a bundle of burning sticks. It hurt.

He was angry. That man was awful, but there was nothing he could do.

The darkness already made fear easier to grow. After experiencing something unfair, Ryan, who was still just a child, was furious and helpless in the face of the man’s shamelessness.

Second by second, time dragged on. Lydia could feel her body heat slipping away.

An overwhelming drowsiness settled over her. Her eyelids kept drooping despite her best efforts to stay awake.

At first, Ryan was still able to talk. But as time passed, his temperature continued rising. He was clearly developing a fever.

Chapter 412 He Comes Back

His thoughts were becoming muddled. He muttered weakly under his breath.

Finished

Meanwhile, the man had just drunk a large amount of water. Compared to the mother and son, he was in much better condition.

Hearing Ryan’s words, he chuckled maliciously. “Good thing I didn’t listen to you two and give the bottle back. I told you. Once that guy escaped, there was no way he was coming back. Your dad ditched you!”

Anger surged through Lydia’s chest, but her voice came out weak. “Shut up… What do you gain from mocking us? I know my husband isn’t that kind of person. And besides, if he comes back to save us, you’ll get rescued too.”

“Oh, come on.” The man scoffed.“You seriously think he’s coming back? Look around. If I were him, I definitely wouldn’t. At a time like this, who cares about someone else’s life more than their own?

“He barely managed to get out alive. Why would he come back? So stop wasting your energy struggling. Be like me. Accept reality.

“Oh, right. With this water bottle, I’m definitely going to outlive the two of you.”

The mother and son were so angry that they couldn’t even speak. But beneath the anger was a growing sense of despair.
