: It’s Time to Leave
The villagers kept their eyes fixed on the direction Benjamin and the others were leaving. When they
saw them actually boarding the boat and leaving, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As he watched them leave, the Chief remained skeptical.
A villager’s voice hushed, as if afraid that someone might be eavesdropping, “Chief, what do you think
we should do next? Will these people come back and cause trouble?”
Another villager chimed in, saying, “I can’t help but think that their departure this time is too calm. Is it
possible that they have some malicious intentions and are deliberately disguising them?”
“If their actions end up affecting Miss Martinez, we would all feel guilty as well.”
“Miss Martinez has helped us so much all these days. Without her, my child wouldn’t even understand
the basic questions.”
“Miss Martinez has done so many things for us. We can’t simply sit and watch her get into trouble. We
can’t just be idle and useless, okay?”
Everyone chimed in, agreeing, “Absolutely. But I think those people have already gone.
far. Let’s call Miss Martinez out later so that we don’t scare her again!”
“That cellar is dark and damp. If it weren’t for the circumstances, I wouldn’t want Miss Martinez to go
near that place at all.”
Martina didn’t know how long she had been waiting. Maybe it was an hour, two hours, or three?
She waited until her mind started to feel drowsy.
The cellar was stuffy, and if someone stayed there for a long time, it could cause discomfort in the
body.
Martina felt her consciousness becoming increasingly blurry, but fortunately, just when she was about
to give in, she heard voices calling from above the cellar. “Miss Martinez… Miss Martinez, are you
okay?”
She weakly responded, “I’m okay.”
With the help of the villagers, she managed to crawl out of the cellar smoothly.
As soon as Martina got from the cellar, she took big, gasping breaths. Breathing in the relatively fresh
air mixed with the sea breeze, she finally felt like she had barely come back to life.
Her gaze turned towards the shore, and this time, there was no way she could remain calm-Benjamin
had found her again.
With the support of a woman, Martina could barely stand, and immediately she asked the villagers,
“What time is the earliest boat here every day?”
The Chief immediately grasped Martina’s intention, yet he found himself unable to restrain her
departure, despite his reluctance to see her go.
Those people seemed extremely dangerous, and no one knew what they were here for.
Today, Martina was lucky enough to escape, but she might not be so lucky next time.
The Chief responded, “There will be a ship approaching the shore in about an hour. If you want to
leave, you can take that boat.”
“But I don’t think those people who are searching for you will give up so easily. You should change your
appearance in advance.”
Martina nodded, understanding that the Chief was trying to help her.
Then, she returned to Candy’s home and borrowed a set of clothes from Candy’s mother. It was a
simple floral dress.
Afterwards, Martina tied up her hair and intentionally applied a makeup that made her look ugly.
She pressed her hand against her chest, struggling to catch her breath. She took several deep breaths,
finally feeling alive again.
The hardships she had endured during this journey had not made Martina feel any attachment to
Benjamin. On the contrary, there was a growing disgust towards in her heart.
Perhaps it was because she had truly made up her mind not to love someone who was hard to love,
which led to her current state.
Now, Benjamin’s behaviors not only failed to bring Martina joy and a sense of care, but instead
intensified her pain.
Martina looked at herself in the mirror and thought, only her biological parents would recognize her
unless they observed her closely.
This was her last chance.
Martina planned to take a desperate gamble this time. Maybe she could evade from Benjamin’s search.
After searching for her outside for such a long time, Benjamin would never expect her to return to LA
where she used to be.
As soon as the time came, Martina swiftly boarded a ship, but this time she was on a ship heading
back.
Perhaps due to the extended period spent in the cellar, she wasn’t feeling well.
Once aboard the ship, her discomfort heightened, and the urge to vomit grew stronger. She could only
huddle in a corner of the ship, crouching there in a sorry state, finding some solace in her position.
Due to Adam’s loose tongue, news about Martina’s escape spread throughout their circle.
Many people couldn’t believe it at all. “Is it true? Martina actually left Mr. Walker and walked away on
her own. Could she be employing a strategy of playing hard to get?”
It was not surprising that people would think this way because Martina had done many. similar things
before. Now, it was not that easy to make people believe she was serious.
Furthermore, no one understood the true state of Martina’s heart, so naturally, they couldn’t
comprehend the reasons behind her actions.
Everyone believed that Martina had a good life at Benjamin’s home-good food, good house, no worries,
and plenty of money to spend.
Martina seemed to be soaring to new heights and undergoing a transformation like a phoenix. What
could Martina possibly be dissatisfied with?
If she was dissatisfied with her life, then she was just creating problems for herself. No one could
understand her state of mind.
Adam’s friends by his side boldly speculate, “I bet Martina is just causing trouble for no reason. She’ll
be back in a few days.”
“Maybe it’s because she didn’t get what she wanted from Mr. Walker’s side, so she wants to explore
outside.”
“But with Martina’s condition, how could she survive outside, let alone without Mr. Walker? I bet she’ll
come back in a couple of days.”
However, Adam disagreed. He didn’t think things were that simple.
Martina had never done anything like that before, and it seemed that Benjamin was quite angry based
on the commotion from his side. He had even personally gone to look for Martina.
If it had merely been a small quarrel, how could it have turned into such a situation? Martina wouldn’t
have been willing to go through all that trouble.
What made Adam unhappy was that he had been ignored by Benjamin. No matter how many times he
had called, Benjamin hadn’t answered.
Could it have been that he had said something wrong and angered Benjamin, causing him to be
unhappy?
Adam sat there, drinking his bad mood away, lost in thought of useless things.
