Rachel Wood still felt afraid when she thought about her experience of escaping from the village.
She didn’t dare imagine what could’ve happened to her if she hadn’t hidden in the bush and got caught.
She also didn’t dare to think about what could’ve happened if she hadn’t decided to go up the hill.
Would she have been caught?
Perhaps God was on her side. Or He probably pitied her.
Rachel was eating some grass outside when the sky gradually turned so dark that she couldn’t see anything within the cave.
She had been waiting, so after a long while, she finally walked out of the cave.
Tonight was different from the night before. It was cloudy last night, and she could barely see a thing.
However, the moon and stars shone brightly tonight, helping her to have a vague view of her surroundings.
Perhaps God really was helping her.
She was halfway up the hill and could see the terrains below her from there.
Realizing that nobody was around, she carefully made her way down the hill barefoot.
She couldn’t see the way out from her earlier position, but it didn’t matter.
She was sure she would find the main road as long as she continued to walk down the same path.
Upon reaching the main road, she’d be able to find cars.
Although it was freezing, Rachel felt energetic since she’d just eaten some grass.
‘Wait for me, Sebastian,’ she thought desperately.
Despite deciding to leave Sebastian Brenand, his parents still wouldn’t let her go freely. Therefore, she wouldn’t bother leaving and simply return.
This time, she had figured out that she'd only be safe by Sebastian’s side. He was the only person who could protect her.
Rachel didn’t care about anything else except to see him again.
