Chapter 294: Falling Down the Mountain
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The house she rented was located in a remote area at the edge of the entire village. The road was split ahead. On the left, it led up the mountain, and on the right, it led to the village center.
With Nan Kang’s startling shout, Zheng Yue rushed to the left path.
Zheng Yue did not want the villagers to know about her either. She was young, pregnant, and forced to have an abortion by a man in his forties. If those villagers found out about this, her reputation would be ruined.
Afraid that things would blow up, Zheng Yue hugged her stomach and ran to the mountain road in a sorry state.
She was sobbing uncontrollably, but she didn’t dare to relax. Nan Kang’s footsteps were getting closer and closer behind her, making her more and more nervous.
The mountain path was rugged and difficult to walk on. Coupled with the fact that the sky was dark and it was drizzling, Zheng Yue slipped a few times.
What should I do… What should I do…
She looked around, trying to find a place in the mountain where she could hide.
However, after running for a long time, Zheng Yue did not get what she wanted. Instead, Nan Kang was closing on her, making her unable to find a place to hide. Hence, she could only rush forward.
However, the deeper she went, the more uncertain Zheng Yue became as she had never gone up the mountain before.
On the other hand, Nan Kang gradually caught up with Zheng Yue. He did not know the way, but he had been following Zheng Yue’s trail. After all, he was strong and gradually closed the distance between the two of them.
The chase only lasted for about ten minutes.
“Run? How dare you!” Nan Kang grabbed Zheng Yue’s arm.
Zheng Yue screamed in fear, “Get lost! Stay away from me!!!”
She screamed at the top of her lungs. The moment she was grabbed by Nan Kang, her entire body was like a bowstring that had been pulled taut, as if it would snap in the next second.
Zheng Yue struggled with all her might. At this point, she couldn’t care less about the child. If Nan Kang caught her like this, she might lose everything.
Nan Kang didn’t hold back anymore. He reached out to pull Zheng Yue’s hair, wanting to control her.
However, Zheng Yue actually dodged nimbly this time. Instead of dodging, it was more like Zheng Yue took the initiative to rush in front of Nan Kang, wanting to push him.
There was a cliff behind Nan Kang but Zheng Yue didn’t think too much about it. She just wanted Nan Kang to stop chasing her.
Nan Kang was not to be trifled with. After seeing through Zheng Yue’s intentions, he immediately turned around and avoided her.
However, he did not know that there was a cliff behind him. Seeing that Zheng Yue was still trying to resist, he increased his strength, wanting to press Zheng Yue to the ground.
However, the situation was extremely critical. Seeing that she couldn’t push Nan Kang, Zheng Yue wanted to hurriedly hold back, but she didn’t see Nan Kang reaching out to push her at all.
“All!” It was Zheng Yue.
As the two of them struggled, Zheng Yue was pushed down by Nan Kang.
The ear-piercing scream made Nan Kang subconsciously want to frown, but his body reacted faster. He wanted to reach out to pull Zheng Yue, but everything happened so suddenly that he could only watch as Zheng Yue’s figure disappeared by the cliff.
No one expected things to turn out like this.
Nan Kang looked at the spot where Zheng Yue had disappeared from. His palms were sweating, and his heart was beating faster and faster. However, the processing mechanism of his brain made him quickly calm down.
He couldn’t stay here any longer.
Nan Kang subconsciously had this thought. He was unwilling to admit that he was the one that had made Zheng Yue lose her balance and fall.
He stood where Zheng Yue had fallen. The height of the cliff made it impossible for him to see the situation below. After Zheng Yue fell, there was no movement or sound.
In the deep mountains and forests, no one knew what had happened except Nan Kang and Zheng Yue.
There was only a lady’s slipper left on the cliff where the tragedy had happened.
It was as if her body had been run over by a car. It was so painful that she could not speak.
Who, who can save me…
Zheng Yue was forced to wake up from the pain all over her body.
The smell of blood was captured by her sense of smell, followed by a throbbing pain in her stomach.
Zheng Yue couldn’t care less. She touched the s.p.a.ce between her legs and found that her hands were sticky.
She got up and saw a large patch of red between her legs. The pungent smell of rust made her existence even more obvious, making Zheng Yue feel nauseous.
As if she had grasped the last bit of hope, she raised her head and looked up. In the darkness, a figure stood by the cliff.
“Nan Kang! Save me—” Zheng Yue subconsciously called out to him. “Nan Kang!”
She stared at the figure and did not dare to give up even though her voice was hoa.r.s.e.
However, under Zheng Yue’s gaze, the figure above her did not make any sound. He just stood there.
“I know it’s all my fault. I’m sorry, Nan Kang. I’m sorry. Please save me…” Zheng Yue cried apologetically for help.
The desire to live was incomparably strong at this moment.
She clutched her stomach. “There’s a lot of blood coming out of me now. Nan Kang…”
Zheng Yue cried so hard that she didn’t even look away. The only person she could count on now was Nan Kang.
However, she did not receive any response. The figure turned around and left with Zheng Yue’s last hope, as if he had not heard anything.
The light in her eyes also dissipated, and her gaze turned into the darkness of nirvana, like a pool of stagnant water.
Zheng Yue had never felt like this before. She felt a heinous chill envelop her entire body, and even her beating heart was a.s.similated.
At this moment, she finally knew how ruthless a man could be.
Nan Kang, who had once shared a bed with her and was gentle and loving to her, actually let her fall and left her there…
It was as if he had become a different person.
Or perhaps, she had never seen the true Nan Kang before.
Zheng Yue suddenly smiled as she cried. Her smile was desolate and pitiful.
She was crying and laughing at the same time. Her stomach no longer hurt, but this made Zheng Yue’s heart fall into a bottomless abyss.
“Help! Can anyone hear me! Help me! Help my child—” she calls.
Zheng Yue tried her best to call for help, but her body was disappointing. Every time she spoke, it hurt, causing Zheng Yue’s already low stamina to quietly drain.
However, blood kept flowing out, and soon, a large area was spread out.
Zheng Yue was wearing very little. She was only wearing a thin maternity dress, and her lower body was dyed red by blood. The wind blew, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
She did not dare to move, afraid that she would make things worse.
However, after shouting for a long time, there was no sound. Only the cold wind accompanied her, causing Zheng Yue to sneeze several times in a row. She was so cold that she curled up into a ball.
“Is there anyone…” Zheng Yue sobbed.
Her voice gradually weakened.
The surroundings were dark, and only the rustling of leaves could be heard. After shouting a few times, Zheng Yue did not dare to speak again, afraid that she would provoke something that was not human.
She had run too quickly just now and did not bring her cell phone with her. Now that Nan Kang was gone, Zheng Yue had lost all means of asking for help from the outside world.
The forest was dark in the middle of the night and the moonlight shone on the leaves that were blown by the wind, making them look like ghosts.
After Zheng Yue’s stamina was exhausted, she fainted..
