377 A Narrow Escape
Mike’s saw suddenly dropped to the ground with a loud thud. He was enraged and stared coldly at Josh. Anna was taken aback as well, and her heart began to race.
“No, I didn’t mean that,” Josh exclaimed in a panic.
Mike was always friendly, but he seemed irritated at the time. He looked at Josh coldly as if he wanted to kill him.
Anna reflected on what Josh had said. She was sure that Mike’s wife’s death had something to do with Dragon, but she wondered why he should compensate Mike.
“Just do it for the sake of your daughter, Mike. You can’t leave her with us for the rest of her life because she might end up being a s*x toy here!”
Mike picked up the saw on the ground and slowly sawed the wood as if he was thinking about this. And he didn’t give Josh an accurate answer until the man who was having s*x with Lily in the cabin left.
Anna didn’t dare to stay by the door much longer for fear of being suspected by them. So, she had to go back.
The odour of sperm permeated the room and became more pungent. Lily was getting dressed on the bed. Her face was flushed, and her eyes were blank. Anna couldn’t stand looking at her any longer, so she poured some hot water and tried to help Lily get clean with it.
As she was pouring the water, she heard Lily saying, “John said that he was going to ask Dragon for a favor and let me be his woman from now en ‘376 A Narrow Escape
“Did you say yes to him?” Anna asked, frozen
Lily bit her lower lip and said, “I don’t think the plan you mentioned is. any better than doing nothing. I no longer want to live like this.” After Anna turned her head, she saw that Lily’s face was already covered with tears.
Sobbingly, Lily muttered, “He promised me that no one would ever treat me unfairly again if | became his woman. He’ll be nice to me. We can’t leave here right now, but he said he’ll take me out after a while.” NôvelDrama.Org content.
“So, you believed him?” Anna asked, frowning.
Lily clenched her teeth and sobbed, “I don’t believe him, but I’ll give it a shot. Mike is a good man, but it’s difficult to impress him. I wasn’t sure if We could pull it off, so I wanted to give it a shot.”
Anna exclaimed eagerly, “Don’t make a hasty decision! Think twice before you make a decision. if you stay with that man, you will only have a good life for a short time. What if he gets tired of you later on and wants to replace you with another woman? By then, what will you do? Listen to me, Lily. This isn’t a way out.”
Lily lowered her head as if she’d made up her mind, And Anna realized she couldn’t persuade Lily any longer. Sighing, she said helplessly, “Let us wait for a while. If Mike doesn’t talk to you within the next few days, you can go with John.”
Lily nodded. Anna had no idea what would happen later. She had just overheard the two men’s conversation, but she didn’t know if Josh would eventually persuade Mike.
Mike and Josh left after a while and returned to the island late at night. Lily and Anna were still awake at that point. When Lily heard a noise in the yard, she dashed to the window to check it out. Anna sat up as well. When she saw Lily’s sad expression, she realized her plan had failed. ‘376 A Narrow Escape
“Mike was carrying a supermarket shopping bag filled with toys. He must have gone downtown, and | doubt he’ll ever speak to us again.” Lily spoke in hushed tones, but her voice was loud in the small space.
“Yes,” Anna nodded, “but we still have a chance.”
Lily took a deep breath and turned to face Anna, saying, “I don’t want to wait any longer. You can do it your way, and I’ll do it my way. I’m desperate to leave this island. But the more those people torture me, the more | want to die with Ada. So | have to leave here as soon as I can. Idon’t know how much longer | can bear the suffering!”
Sitting on the ground with her mind cluttered with all kinds of thoughts, Anna did not say anything else.
The next day, John told Dragon about this and took Lily away. After Lily left, no one came here anymore. The small, cramped room seemed even more empty to Anna. She sighed as she sat by the window, knowing that she couldn’t rely on Lily and had to figure out how to escape alone.
While she was lost in thought, she looked out of the back window. She carefully shook the nail above it and pulled it out after making sure no one noticed her movement. Little by little, she took the wooden bar that held the window shut, removed a nail and c****d the next one.
She then heard the sound of the door opening. Anna froze, shoved the wood under the bed, and turned around. And she saw Josh enter the room and leer at her.
“There’s no one else in the house today except you,” Josh said.
Anna panicked and asked, “What do you want? Get out!”
Josh looked at her and smiled, asking. “Why did you do that to your lovely face? | get it, you don’t want them to know that you’re pretty. They aren’t here today, so I’ll treat you good right now.” ‘376 A Narrow
Escape
“Don’t touch me!” Anna screamed in horror. She kept putting dust on her face since she got there. That way, the men patrolling the yard wouldn’t see her face and would never notice her.
But Mike and Josh were the ones who brought Anna to the island, and they had seen Anna’s face. Josh used to think the room was packed with people, so he didn’t dare to get into the room. He eventually waited until no one was there.
Josh pounced on Anna and said, “I’ve been protecting you these days! Are you sure you don’t want to give me something in return?” At that critical moment, Anna snatched the wooden bar from under the bed and smacked Josh on the side of the head.
He screamed and sat on the floor. While covering his bleeding head, he shouted out of anger, “You f*****g b***h! How dare you hit me!”
Anna smacked him on the head several more times until he stopped moving. When she noticed the door open, Anna ran toward the door without hesitation. Just as she got out of the courtyard, she bumped into a man and fell to the ground.
“Who the f**k are you?” the man asked her.
Anna shuddered as she noticed the tall man who was staring at her. The man had a beard and appeared to be very fierce. Like a pirate captain, he wore an eye patch over one of his eyes.
Anna’s face turned pale from horror; it was the first time she’d seen Dragon since she arrived on the island.
Then Dragon squeezed her shoulder and asked angrily, “Answer me! How did you get here? Who brought you here?!”
