Chapter 142 Put Her to Death (2/2)
Jacob's feelings were complicated and subtle. He wanted to hold her in his arms and make hot love to her until she cried and begged for mercy. However, he was willing to wait for the day she would give herself to him whole-heartedly.
Perhaps that's how people felt when they fell in love with someone.
...
The next afternoon, there was a barbecue party
here for a while. We have no idea where she went...”
Jacob turned around with a long face and called Sam on his phone at once ”Send people to look for Emily. Search the whole island! Now!” he demanded.
”Eh-hem...” When Emily came to her senses, the first thing she felt was the coldness around her. Her limbs were stiff and she could not move, and the wound on her head was throbbing with pain.
Emily mustered all her strength, and forced herself to sit up. When she looked around, she realized that she floated down the river after she lost consciousness. Fortunately, she was carried to the river bank instead of the sea.
The last thing she remembered was washing her hands by the river, and then suddenly getting pushed from the back. And when she struggled to get ashore, someone hit her on the head with a heavy stone.
The shade of bright purple she saw could be a skirt. What followed next, was completely blank to her. Who would do such thing to her? Who would want her dead?
Emily shook her head. She had no time to think about those questions. The first thing she needed to do was to get herself out of there. Sadly, she didn't have her cellphone with her and she couldn't even tell where she was at that moment...
Soon the twilight faded to blackness, and Emily finally staggered to her feet after resting for a while. She was surrounded by the jungle as she followed her instincts to find her path.
When she heard an indistinct noise coming from ahead, Emily's eyes finally lit up with hope.
”Is anybody there? I need some help. Please!”
Wishfully, she was hoping to hear a person's voice, but instead, she heard the roaring of a bear.
