Chapter 717 Reunion
Chapter 717 Reunion
It was a bumpy ride.
Her body was aching, and she felt she was about to throw up everything she just had.
On the contrary, Sammy was sleeping soundly in that bumpy cart. He was snoring, which Natalia found
impressive.
Seeing he was almost bumped off the seat, Natalia leaned forward and supported him.
She only sat back when she was sure he was seated and still leaning on the wall. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
At the same time, she was counting down the time in her mind.
There was no clock in the village, nor did she have a watch. She could only know the time of sunrise
and sunset by estimating.
That felt horrible, but she had to overcome it because she had no choice.
About half an hour later, the cart finally stopped.
"Sammy, here we are!"
The young man's voice came from outside.
Natalia was awoken. She couldn't wait to lift the curtain and poked her head out to check.
It was dark out there. She couldn't see a spark of light; actually, she couldn't see anything at all.
The man across the carriage clicked his tongue and woke up.
"Ah-huh? Already?"
"Yes, your home is just behind that ridge; the cart can't get over it, so you may have to get down and
walk over."
Sammy lifted the curtain and got off the cart. Then he nodded and said, "Thank you for today. You can
go back now."
The young man nodded and waited for Natalia to get off the cart. Then he led the cart in the opposite
direction.
Sammy stood there and stretched himself. Then he waved his hand to Natalia.
"Let's go. My home is just around the ridge."
Natalia didn't say anything. She followed him and headed forward.
The mountain was rocky, not to mention they were walking on the ridge.
She had to take cautious steps. The ridge was too narrow for her to stride freely, even with Sammy
holding a torch in front of her.
Sammy laughed out.
"You're so spoiled, city girl. Women in our village walked quickly on mountain paths, let alone the
ridges.
Natalia didn't know how to respond, so she only smiled awkwardly.
Sammy hummed a song. He seemed to be in a good mood and was staggering on his feet.
They walked on one ridge after another.
Finally, they stopped at a two-story stone brick house.
It was the only house that wasn't built with mud that Natalia had seen in the past few days.
As they approached, they saw a clearing in front of the house.
The clearing had a high haystack on one side. The door to the house was closed; there was faint light
coming out of the window upstairs.
Sammy walked to the door and knocked hard on it.
"Woman. I'm home!"
Soon the door creaked and opened.
Natalia saw a woman in puffy PJ with messy hair.
She might be in her forties. With a kerosene lamp in her hand, she took a look at Sammy and Natalia,
and then she frowned.
"Why are you so late? Who is she?"
"A friend of the girl's. She said they were together. Terry told me to bring her over."
Sammy said as he led Natalia in.
Natalia felt a bit cold inside because the house was walled by stone.
The woman listened to Sammy as she closed the door. Then she walked in.
"Really? I was just wondering what had taken you so long..."
Thin and weak, the woman didn't look well. She had a few words with Sammy and then said to Natalia,
"Your friend is in the room upstairs. I'll walk you there."
Natalia was so thrilled to hear that. She nodded and thanked her.
"Thanks a lot."
The woman didn't say anything. She took her to the back of the room.
This was a two-story house, with a long stone stair in the middle.
They walked up along the stairs and soon arrived at the second floor.
"Hey girl, Someone's here for you!"
The woman called out. Soon, the door was opened after a loud noise.
A familiar figure got out of the room fast and stood in front of Natalia.
"Nancy?"
"Natalia!"
They screamed in surprise, and then Natalia leaned forward, and they hugged each other tightly.
Nancy was a tough and introverted girl, but she still couldn't help crying out.
"You're fine... that's great! I thought we would never see each other again!"
She had been terrified when the plane crashed down from thousands of meters above the sky.
Although they had carried a parachute, nobody could guarantee their safety.
No one knew how desperate she felt when she woke up without Natalia by her side.
She couldn't imagine what she could do should anything have happened to Natalia.
She didn't know how she would tell Archie about this.
This wasn't just a task. Her friendship with Natalia didn't allow her to see any mistakes happen to
Natalia.
That was why Nancy still felt very depressed after she was rescued.
She managed to find Natalia and wanted to know if she was intact or injured. She was so afraid that
anything had happened to Natalia.
But she couldn't get out.
On one hand, she still had a wound on her leg; on the other hand, this family she was with thought she
was too severely injured to go out.
Finally, she was told that a girl named Seven claimed to be Nancy's friend.
They asked Nancy if she knew the girl, and that was when Nancy saw the silver lining.
She knew that Natalia's code name in Othua was Seven.
Nancy confirmed with them and asked them to bring Seven over.
That was why Sammy agreed to bring Natalia here.
Nancy insisted on going with Sammy, but Sammy didn't agree. He said that she'd better not move.
Nancy had complicated feelings towards this family. Sometimes she couldn't tell if they were pretending
to care about her or they really did.
However, she could say anything no matter what was in her mind at that time.
Anyway, she felt nice to have reunited with Natalia.
After all, they would be more powerful together. They had each other's back no matter what situation
they ran into.
She felt at ease when she knew Natalia was safe.
Thinking of that, she said to Sammy and the others, "Thank you."
Sammy and his wife said, "You're welcome. Now that you know each other, you should sleep together
tonight. Don't go out at night, understand?"
Natalia and Nancy nodded.
Then Sammy and his wife turned around and left.
After they left, Nancy took Natalia back to her room.
