Marrying

Chapter 470

Valerie’s heart skipped a beat.

Her father, Ethan Warren, was actually planning to sell her off!

She was his daughter!

Even though Valerie had not had a good life since she was young she had not expected her family to be so ruthless. A chill ran down her spine and took root in her heart, quickly engulfing her entire body. At the same time, she was filled with anger. She clenched her fists tightly as fury surged through her heart. She did not understand what she had done to make these people want to kill her!

What era was this? They were still thinking of selling their daughter off? Or was it that they were hiding something and were afraid that others would replace out, so they wanted to silence her?

She thought of the trafficked women in the news, trapped in the mountains for the rest of their lives to be used as fertility tools, their lives ruined! How could Ethan and Ruth Warren be so callous!

No, she had to escape. She could not simply wait passively for something to happen to her!

Valerie was completely disheartened. Her immense rage had instead stirred in her an unprecedented desire to live.

She should not have had any expectations for these scumbag parents. Today, Ethan had defended her in front of Angel Santos, and her heart had actually softened. Now, this was the consequence of her allowing her heart to soften. Therefore, she could no longer be soft–hearted.

She had finally gotten rid of the past. With a baby and a husband, she was about to start a new life. She couldn’t let this be ruined. She had to save herself!

The corners of her eyes became damp at some point. She fiercely wiped the corners of her eyes with her shoulder – this pair of scumbags didn’t deserve her tears!

It was silent outside, followed by the sound of Ethan’s footsteps entering through the door. Valerie quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

After a while, Ethan walked in. He coldly glanced at Valerie and saw that she was still sleeping lifelessly on the ground. He seemed to be relieved and leaned against another corner to sleep.

Valerie was afraid that he would realize that she had woken up, so she could only lie on the ground motionlessly. She did not even dare to breathe any harder. In a stupor, her mind fell into chaos once more. The fever made her body tremble and she could not help but start to shiver.

Although she was used to being brushed aside by her family all these years, deep down, she still yearned for parental love. She did not expect it to hurt more and more each time.

Valerie’s mind was in a daze. She forced herself to get up, but did not have the strength to do so, Unknowingly, she fainted.

“Vallic…”

“Who’s calling me?” Valerie wondered.

Valerie slowly opened her eyes and realized that she was already on a mountain. Someone was screaming her name crazily, She could not help but listen attentively. It was Matthew Grant!

Valerie was overjoyed!

“Matthew, Matthew, I’m here!” Valerie called out.

Matthew, don’t go. It’s dangerous!” Valerie yelled.

round the corner. He was about five to six meters away from Valerie and

d out as he searched, not knowing that his feet had been scraped by

Matthew seemed not to hear her voice and continued to move forward. Valerie watched as Matthew struggled. His feet were already bleeding, but he still persisted. Valerie’s heart could not help but leap into her throat. She watched as Matthew slipped and fell into the valley!

Valerie screamed, “No!”

Valerie abruptly woke up and saw that Ethan and Ruth were still asleep, and that they were surrounded by darkness. Only then did she realize that it was just a dream.

She could not help but take a deep breath, her face covered in sweat. She was grateful to Matthew for waking her up from her dream. Now was her best chance to escape.

Ethan was already asleep. After driving for the entire day, he was indeed tired, his snores like thunder.

What was more, Ruth had been in the same position since Ethan had called. She had not woken up once.

Valerie braced herself and carefully struggled to prop up her upper body. She looked around. There were no other weapons in this tiny room, but the corner she was in was against the window. There was a piece of broken glass on the window, which could come in handy.

Valerie shifted over bit by bit. She was unable to move much since her hands were twisted behind her and tied up.

When she finally moved under the window, she held on to the wall and stood up.

Due to the fact that she was tied up and did not dare to wake Ethan and Ruth up, it took her more than ten minutes to finally stand

up and let the rope on her wrists approach the broken glass. She planned to cut through it bit by bit.

In the end, her hand was cut on the first try.

Valerie glanced at Ethan, afraid that he would suddenly wake up. Fortunately, he did not react. She endured the pain and slowly searched for the correct angle. She felt that the pain from the bleeding made her even more awake.
