The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)

Chapter 264 A Hopeless Situation

Nicole sighed in relief when she noticed the fake native.

The torrential rain plunged the night into a cold abyss.

The leaves around them rustled loudly as they were drenched in the downpour. Accompanied by the

crashing waves from the sea and the wind howling, it was almost phantasmal and despairing.

Nicole was soaked to the bone and shivered in the cold. The chill seemed to drill all the way down to

her marrow.

She had just stopped to gasp for breath when she suddenly heard the flurry of heavy footsteps

catching up behind them. It was extraordinarily clear in the darkness.

Nicole and the fake native exchanged a glance. They then continued to run without hesitation.

The cold rain pelted her face like a sharp knife...

After just a few minutes, she felt like her heart was about to jump out, and her legs stopped listening to

her brain. The surrounding environment was dark, and in addition to the rain, it was impossible to see

anything at all.

The ground was littered with branches and leaves, but they could only continue to escape, even if it Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

meant

crawling away!

The indigenous people chased after them relentlessly and even threw branches at them. Nicole's back

was hit several times, but she merely gritted her teeth and got up to run again.

Her hands had countless wounds after being cut by twigs and thorns, but she was numb to the pain.

The fake native in front of her moved quickly with agility. His body was nimble, and he had strong

athletic qualities.

Nicole did not dare to lag behind and ran for her life.

The sounds behind them were getting closer. If the indigenous people caught up to them, that would

mean certain death!

Suddenly, her foot hooked onto a tree trunk, hurling her to the ground. She could not help but let out a

scream when a jolt of pain shot up her elbow.

The fake native turned around. Nicole gritted her teeth and pulled herself up.

"I'm fine! Run!"

All of a sudden, after she stepped over the tree trunk, her foot lost its ground and she found herself

freefalling!

Her hands desperately reached out for anything she could grab. She managed to wrap a flexible vine

around her arm.

The full weight of her body hung from that vine, and her hands were already bleeding from the thorns

lining the vine.

Nicole could feel her body trembling. She was well aware that her body was at its limit.

The sounds of the indigenous people behind her were like a death knell for her, sinister and frightening.

The feeling of hopelessness had never been so strong before, and the chill swept through every pore

of her body...

However, the next moment, the fake native that should have run away suddenly appeared in front of

her.

He reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her out o f the pitfail.

It was like she was handed a lifeline.

Before Nicole could sigh in relief, she subconsciously looked back at the trap and saw countless thick

branches that were shaved into sharp spikes in the pit.

For a moment, her hair stood on end.

It was a trap set by those indigenous people.

If she had not grabbed onto the vine, then she would have lost everything on this freezing rainy night.

The man yanked her. "Run!"

Nicole wiped her face, not knowing whether it was the rain or her tears.

There was no time to think. She could only run forward stiffly and numbly.

She could not turn back. She could not stop. She could not even have a second's rest.

There were more paths ahead of them after running through this section of the jungle. The fake native

turned a few corners in front to throw off their pursuers. Soon, the sound of footsteps behind them

gradually faded away.

The fake native finally stopped and looked back at her.

Under the dark moonlight in the rustling shadows, Nicole was completely drenched and muddied, and

her face streaked with tears.

It took her less than thirty seconds to go from silence t o sobbing, to weeping, then to full-out bawling.

Nicole finally had the strength to let go of the tears that she had held back over the past few days.

Her cries were hysterical, but they were drowned in the rain, so they did not seem out of place at all.

The fake native crouched in front of her.

His voice was a little helpless. "Don't cry..."

Nicole felt much better after letting it all out, but now was not the time to relax.

The indigenous people would notice their tracks at any moment, so they could not stay here for too

long.

She wiped her face and said in a soft and hoarse voice, "Let's go..."

The fake native's face painting was washed away by the rain, revealing his original face. Defined

features, flawless skin, an appearance that looked slightly like someone of mixed heritage, and such

bright eyes. He was even slightly more handsome than Kai. At a glance, it was clear that he was a

handsome young man.

This person must be a gift from heaven!

The man was a little stunned by how quickly Nicole collected her emotions, but he still walked in front

to lead the way.

"You'll be safe soon. Don't worry."

After calming down, Nicole had a million questions in her heart. She did not even know where to start.

"How did you get here? Where are your clothes? How long have you been here?"
