You Hit My Heart
Chapter 280

Among the mountains and forests.

Joyce leaned her back against a pine tree and fell into a deep sleep. She barely closed her eyes last night and her mind was always on edge. Now that she had finally gotten out, she was extremely tired and weary and needs to rest.

After having some water and food, Georgia also felt better and her strength was coming back. She also leaned against a tree and was having a rest.

She didn’t know how long it took, but Joyce woke up. The light shone from the gap in the leaves, and she found it hard to open her eyes. She sat up straight and looked up at the sun, which was already high overhead.

"Oh no, we slept too long. It looks like it's almost noon." Joyce stood up, walked over to Georgia, and nudged her hard, "Wake up, we have to keep running. Run as far as we can to the bottom of the hill." Georgia was shaken awake by Joyce, and she felt much better over. Just yesterday she felt like she was dying.

Joyce took out some food, ate a cookie for herself, drank some water, and gave Georgia a cookie.

Georgia laughed dryly, “Why don't you help me untie the rope on my hand? How inconvenient it is to keep them tied up on my back, and now you have to feed me. We are now in the same boat. You untie me, and if there should be anyone coming behind us, I can still help you." Joyce glanced lightly at Georgia and refused, "No."

Georgia was quite strong and had worked as a mercenary. Although she had been starved for three days and lost her strength, she was now clearly better. If she loosened the rope, in case Georgia wanted to do anything again, she was really not her match.

"Hey, why are you so stubborn, you just don't believe me." Georgia bemoaned, “I'm a woman of my word. Never hurt you again!"

Joyce ignored it and went deeper into the mountain forest.

Georgia had no choice but to follow.

The two walked all the way for a long time. As they got deeper and deeper into the mountain, they didn't really have a direction.

“It won't work to go on like this, to get out of a forest like this, you usually need someone to lead the way. Don't you think we just keep going up and down and not even know if we're going further and further away from the right track?"

Georgia couldn't walk anymore and sit down on the floor complaining. "But we still have to continue. We don't have a compass, and we don't even know which mountain we're in. We can't see just anyone for a hundred miles around, and we can't contact the outside world. Now we can barely look at the sun and keep going south, and just hopefully, we can get out of the mountains. Even if we find the creek first. If we follow the current, we can always find someone." Joyce was also tired of walking and sat down to rest.

“It seems that instead of dying in their hands, the two of us are going to die in the wilderness of this mountain." Georgia was disillusioned and discouraged.

"Otherwise, let's light up a fire, and someone who sees the smoke will be able to come and save us,” Georgia suggested.

“But then, the people who want to Kill us will know where we are, too. Not a good idea.” Joyce shook her head. This would have to be their last resort.

"Hey, I can't get out of here in a million years. I don't know if there are beasts in the damn mountains. What can we do at night? The temperature difference between day and night is the greatest in the mountains." Georgia rubbed her foot against the ground in annoyance. "We'll see, we'll take one step at a time. Let's keep walking, maybe we can find a creek.” Joyce is actually worried about the night. The night in the mountains must be cold and wet, but fortunately enough, it was not going to rain. If it did rain, the temperature would drop sharply and they might die from the cold. Fortunately, they still had some food and water, and thus could still last a while.

The two rested for a moment and continued on their way, walking. Georgia suddenly screamed, "Ouch, my stomach hurts! It hurts! I want to go to the bathroom.”

Joyce's eyebrows furrowed, “You got only a jungle for that.”
