GoodNovelChapter 1344 An Acquaintance from Silver Bay City Appeared This was mountain territory in Vistalia, where predators could appear at any moment. The threat of encountering armed men with ill intentions loomed large, placing her in constant danger.
Yet staying behind meant certain capture, with no second chance at freedom. The K would never allow himself to make the smistake twice.
Without hesitation, Selena flung open the car door and plunged into the darkness of the forest. She abandoned her car by the roadside, tossed aside her platform insoles, and began racing downhill in flat shoes, avoiding main paths.
Her heart pounded fiercely-a desperate rhythm fueled by her yearning for freedom and for the man she loved. Death itself seemed less frightening than the thought of never seeing Raymond again. Tears of determination streamed down her face as she ran.

The distant city lights seemed impossibly far as she fought against waves of dizziness. When she finally reached a lakeside vacation cabin at the mountain's base, she swayed on her feet but forced herself to knock. Without food, she knew she wouldn't survive.
The modest two-hundred-square-foot cabin sat by the lake, miles from the K's villa. After last night's three-hour drive with Agent 003 and her non-stop flight through the wilderness, she calculated the K couldn't possibly track her this quickly. She needed nourishment to continue her journey.
When the electronic lock disengaged, she called out hoarsely, "Is anyone there?" Only a dog's bark answered. Hesitating briefly at the threshold, she ventured closer. "Hello? Could I possibly have a piece of bread?" If she didn't eat something soon, she would really pass out from low blood sugar-she should have packed provisions. Her clothes hung in tatters, leg wounds visible through torn pants-the very picture of desperation.
The door opened to reveal a kindly elderly man with white hair and blue eyes who regarded her with surprise. Selena immediately addressed him in fluent Solstice, her eyes quickly scanning the cozy, clean interior where only he and a dog appeared to reside. No threat detected.
"Could I have sbread, please?" Still recovering from a recent fever, she knew her improved physical condition was the only reason she hadn't collapsed on the trail. No one could normally run through an entire night with such abandon.
The old man promptly brought bread and milk. Selena took a bite, her eyes welling with tears. "Thank you," she managed through her emotion.
He offered her warm water and inquired about her presence. She fabricated a story about getting separated from family during a vacation.

"Sorry, mine just broke. I'm expecting a doctor from town to bringa new one. You can wait if you'd like." "Thank you so much." Selena felt overwhelming gratitude as she settled in, her body aching tremendously. Yet the pain kept her alert and strengthened her resolve to find Raymond. She missed him desperately.
Half an hour later, a knock cat the door. Selena startled to attention when she saw the distinguished-looking man entering with a medical bag.

Selena felt the man's gaze turn toward her and found herself speechless with excitement.
The host reassured her, "Don't worry, he's not dangerous. He's a doctor' LeTX knew in Vistalia a good person."
The previously lounging dog leapt up and circled the visitorenthusiastically, clearly recognizing him. With flushed cheeks and racing heart, Selena strode forward and grabbed the man's arm like a lifeline.
"Dr. Barnes! I can't believe I'd find you here!"
At her most desperate hour, a familiar face from Silver Bay City had appeared. After running for so long lascaper and escaping that place, she finally felt as though she was seeing daylight again.
