Chapter 722 Cute and Innocent
"It's good for everyone if they can be persuaded. In that case, you won't be worried that she'll run away
after you take her home. It's a win-win."
The young man kept nodding.
"Right, right, you're right, Sammy."
He gave an obsequious smile and said fawningly, "Then that's a deal. I'm gonna go now. When I have
enough money, I'll come over again."
Sammy waved his hand and the young man left.
After that, Natalia saw Sammy didn't come back into the house until he smoked all the tobacco in his
pipe.
She stepped back quietly and flashed into the house from the back door.
Natalia went back to the small room on the second floor with mixed feelings.
Nancy, who wasn't asleep yet, was waiting for her in bed.
She asked at the sight of Natalia, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?"
Natalia nodded, "I'm better now."
She closed the door as she spoke, pressing her ear against the door and listening carefully. When she
made sure no one was out there, she turned around and walked to the bed.
Nancy saw her behaving oddly and didn't know what was on her mind. She simply widened her eyes
and watched her.
Natalia sat on the bed and lowered her voice. "I saw two people talking outside the house on my way
just now."
Nancy asked in surprise, "Who would talk so late at night outside the house?"
Natalia replied, "One of them we know. It's Sammy."
"What about the other one?"
"I don't know the other one. He should be a local here. Guess what I heard?"
As Natalia asked, Nancy made a guess.novelbin
"Is it about us?"
"Yes." Natalia nodded in earnest. "We were right. It's a human trafficking village. Sammy, who saved
you, is a human trafficker. As I heard, he told the other man he's going to sell us. But the most
ridiculous part is, we're only worth 30 grand each."
Nancy widened her eyes in astonishment.
As if she just saw a unicorn.
In fact, if Natalia hadn't heard what Sammy said with her own ears, she wouldn't have believed that
such a ridiculous thing should be happening in this time and age.
Nancy got nervous immediately.
"Then what should we do?"
Natalia, however, remained calm, "Don't worry. I also heard that since your leg is broken, you won't be
"put on the market" until you recover, and it'll take you about one month, which means, we're safe for
this month."
Nancy let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that.
Natalia lay down and stared at the wooden ceiling, saying, "One month is enough for your leg to heal.
Even if it's not fully recovered, you'll be able to walk at least. And I'll try to get familiar with the terrain of
this place during this month."
"Fortunately, those killers haven't found us yet, which means we're safe for now. It's not so bad."
Nancy was still worried as she heard Natalia.
"But... didn't you promise Anne that you'll celebrate her birthday with her? Her birthday is this weekend,
which is four days later. How can you wait for a month?"
Natalia went silent as Nancy asked her.
Indeed, she had promised her daughter.
She had kept all her promises over the years.
Natalia didn't want to go back on her word, but now, it wasn't the matter of her keeping her promise or
not.
Nancy's current condition didn't allow her to walk for a long distance.
Natalia didn't want Nancy to become lame forever because of her.
So she could only let Anne down.
She sighed at this thought.
"But we have no choice. No one ever expected this would happen. You need to get well first, and I'll
make up for her when we get back."
Hearing Natalia, Nancy accepted the fact that they had no other choice but to stay for now.
She nodded, but felt guilty at the same time.
She blamed herself for hitting her leg on the stone accidentally when she fell down.
Otherwise, she would have been able to run away with Natalia now.
Neither of them talked in the quiet night, but both of them lay in bed with mixed feelings.
The next day, Natalia woke up early in the morning.
The air couldn't be fresher in the morning in the mountains.
She took a walk and had a breath of fresh air. It was at breakfast time that she came back.
Nancy's leg was broken and she was unable to walk around. Besides, Sammy could tell Natalia and
Nancy were very close and it was impossible for Natalia to leave Nancy alone.
Therefore, he didn't confine Natalia in the house, and she was allowed to walk about.
That was a good thing for her.
However, Natalia couldn't go further around Sammy's house.
If she went further, the villagers would tell her to go back.
They would say the terrain in the mountains was complex, and that she might get lost once she went
too far. Natalia didn't want to lay her cards on the table yet, so she pretended she didn't know their
intentions and came back as she was told.
When she got back to the house, she would use the carbon block she stole from the kitchen to draw
the surrounding terrain on a piece of paper.
The paper was kept in a crack in the stone against the bed, and no one would notice it without looking
carefully.
Natalia said as she drew, "They're keeping an eye on me now, and won't let me go far away, but I'll look
for chances to get further and try my best to explore more areas."
Nancy nodded.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly said, "Natalia, actually I was thinking about one thing last
night."
Natalia paused, raised her brows and stared at her.
"What is it?"
"It's true that my leg is broken, but as long as I have a stick, or a wheelchair, I think I can beat the old
couple downstairs alone."
Natalia stared at her in amazement.
After a long pause, she burst into laughter.
Seeing her laugh, Nancy thought Natalia didn't trust her.
Nancy explained at once, "I mean it! I really think I can. Or do you think I should use a knife?"
Natalia patted her on the shoulder and smiled, "Nancy, I've just realized that you're so cute and
innocent!"
Cute and innocent?
Confused, Nancy wondered why Natalia would use these words to describe her.
Usually, people trembled with fear at the sight of her and described her as "a merciless killer".
It was the first time that she had ever been described as... cute and innocent!
