Chapter 1209 Nowhere To Run

Although I don't have any appetite in this unfamiliar environment, I have to eat to keep up my strength. If I'm strong enough, I can protect myself and maybe even leave this place.

The maid breathed a sigh of relief and smiled when she saw that.

Before Sean left that morning, he had instructed her to make sure that Natalie ate. Otherwise, she would be held responsible.

After finishing her meal quietly, Natalie got up and turned to ask the maid, "May I go out for a walk?"

I want to observe the villa's surroundings. I can't figure out where I am if I'm stuck inside here all day. If I can go outside, it'll be easier to try and work out my location. More importantly, I want to replace the best escape route. But before escaping, I have to replace a phone or a computer. Anything that will allow me to contact Shane so that he can send someone here. Only then can I make my escape and reunite with Shane.

However, the maid did not respond.

Natalie became anxious as the silence grew longer.

Don't tell me she was instructed to keep me in here and not let me out!

Just as Natalie started to panic a little, the maid suddenly nodded. "Of course. I was told that you may go out, but you're not allowed to go too far."

"Why not?" Natalie asked, clenching her fists subconsciously.

The maid replied, "You'd get too close to the sea if you venture too far out, and you could easily get hurt."

Natalie pursed her lips. "Is that so? I understand. I'll be heading out then."

With that, she walked toward the villa's front door.

As she walked, she turned to look back at the maid.

I thought she'd follow me, but I guess I was wrong. She's not coming with me.

Nonetheless, that only made her feel even more uneasy. She could not help wondering if the maid was up to something.

Natalie felt sure that her kidnapper had not left a maid at the villa purely to tend to her needs. The real reason had to be to keep a close eye on her.

But why would she let me go out if that's the case? Isn't she afraid I'll make a run for it? Or could it be that there are others guarding the villa? Is that why she's not afraid I'll try to run? If so, I won't have any chance of escaping.

As those worrying thoughts crossed Natalie's mind, her heart sank, and her pace slackened.

When she was finally outside of the villa, she looked around at the surroundings she had not been able to see from upstairs.

A sandy beach and the sea lay a short distance away from the villa. Meanwhile, behind it was a stretch of coconut trees.

Natalie was shocked when she saw the coconut trees.

Now I know why the maid wasn't afraid I'd run for it. That's because it's impossible. Just as I suspected, this villa is on an island!

She could even catch a glimpse of the sea through the coconut trees. I'm on an island, surrounded by water on all sides, with nowhere to run. No matter which direction I take, I'll end up in the sea. I see no ships, which means there's no means of transport for me to leave this place. The only option left is to swim, but I don't have enough strength. I'd only get a few hundred meters away before getting tired and drowning or eaten up by something in the sea. In other words, only death awaits me if I try to escape.

Gazing into the horizon, it became clearer just how geographically remote the island was. She could not see any sign of the mainland, so she could not estimate how far away the island was nor guess which island she was on.

Feeling at a loss, Natalie was so overwhelmed by panic that her face turned as white as a sheet.

I don't know where I am, and I can't contact Shane, so I can't go back!

Meanwhile, Shane had just woken up from a two-hour nap in an attempt to regain some energy when Joyce informed him that Silas and Connor had arrived.
