Chapter 623 - Waking Up From A Long Dream (1/2)

Anya immediately took Aiden's clothes from the floor in panic and turned her back against him. Seeing the girl's smooth back without any clothes, Aiden gasped and held his breath.

Aiden pulled the object wrapped around his neck and realized that it turned out to be Anya's sweater. He was stunned while holding the sweater.

Anya looked down in embarrassment while still trying to cover her body. Then she approached Aiden and took the sweater from his hand.  And once again, she turned her back on Aiden and put it back on.

”You...”

”You had a fever and chills yesterday. The people outside didn't care even if you died. But I can't watch you die. You got hurt because of me. So I… I just warmed your body. We didn't do anything,” Anya shook her hand repeatedly, afraid that Aiden would misunderstand.

Aiden had no recollection of what happened last night. Even though he didn't completely lose consciousness, his body was still so hot that he couldn't remember anything.

”Thank you,” Aiden said stiffly.

Anya felt embarrassed that Aiden saw her unclothed. She just nodded and lowered her head, returning to sit on the floor after putting on her clothes.

Aiden saw on the table that only half of the drinking water and one bread remained. His face looked even more gloomy.

After taking care of Aiden all night, Anya felt tired and sleepy. She couldn't sleep peacefully because she was worried about Aiden.

She was afraid that she would end up here alone if Aiden left her.

”There's only this amount of food left. If no one saves us, we will die of hunger,” after drinking two sips and taking half the bread, Anya hugged her body and fell asleep on the box.

Aiden might be able to survive without eating, but he still needed to drink. Half a bottle would not be enough for them to last.

He decided to stay.

He was sure that the Atmajaya family would save him. Even if his father didn't want to save him, his sister-in-law wouldn't let him be in danger like this.

Anya slept for a long time, but she didn't wake up either.

Aiden shook her body slowly, but there was no response. When he grabbed her shoulder, Aiden realized that Anya was sick.

He held Anya's forehead and found that she was burning with heat.

Aiden gave the last water in the bottle to Anya and they had run out of drinking water.

He kicked off the front door and shouted for help, but nobody came. He didn't even hear a sound from outside.

The people guarding them were gone. They had been left just like that.

Left to die…

”Anya, wake up. You can't sleep!” Aiden shook Anya's body harder, trying to wake her up so that she didn't lose consciousness.

After sleeping all day, Anya felt a little better even though her fever had not subsided.

”What's wrong?” She asked.

”The people outside are gone. We can try to open the door!” Aiden looked at the locked door and tried to rack his brain.

He had to find a tool he could use to force the door open.

”Can you force it open?”

”Yes, but I don't have the tools,” Aiden replied.

”It's pointless then,” Anya got up and headed towards the door. She felt a little dizzy, but still tried to drag herself towards the door and kicked it.

”That door is too strong. You won't be able to break it,” said Aiden.

”You said no one was guarding it out there. We must immediately find a way out. What tools do you need to open this door?”

”Paper clips, wire, or something like that,” but there were only used cardboard boxes and barrels filled with oil in the room.

Even though he could open the door without a key, if there were no tools he could use, Aiden couldn't do anything at all.

Anya took the hair clip from her head and showed it to Aiden. ”Can you use this?”

Aiden's eyes immediately lit up, ”Why didn't you tell me that you have it?”

”You didn't ask! I also didn't know that this tool could be used to open a door. Plus, you look like a young master from a rich family. I don't think you can do something like that,” said Anya. ”Can you really open it?”

”I'll try.” Aiden did not know whether Anya's hair clip could be used to open the door.

But at least they had hope now.

Instead of just waiting for death to come… They'd try their best to escape from here.

”Why did they all leave? Aren't they afraid of us running away?” Anya leaned against the wall and saw Aiden inserting the clamp into the keyhole.

”They don't need us anymore,” Aiden had a bad feeling.
