Chapter 1212 A Futile Search

Natalie’s heart thumped rapidly when she heard that.

Sure enough, I was right. I did suspect that the ingredients were not from the island. If that were true, it could only mean that someone must’ve delivered them from the mainland. And if so, that person had to use a boat or a plane. I was only trying my luck when I asked her about it, but I can’t believe I really managed to find out that the ingredients get delivered via boat! The only thing is I don’t know how frequent the deliveries are.

With that thought in mind, Natalie asked, “Oh, really? So do they deliver the vegetables every two days?”

If she says yes, I can seize the chance when the boat arrives to sneak on board and get out of here!

But to her dismay, the maid shook her head. “No. Sir and Miss only come by occasionally, so I’m the only one here most of the time. Hence, there’s no fixed schedule for the deliveries. Sir makes the arrangements, and they’ll only deliver the vegetables when he gives the order.”

Natalie’s initial excitement faded, and she became devastated.

So, he’s the one who makes the arrangements. In that case, I don’t see how I could possibly find out when a boat would be coming, and it’ll be difficult for me to plot my escape route.

Her spirits plummeted immediately at that thought.

Noticing Natalie’s despondent expression, the maid left the room silently, not wanting to disturb her further.

Once the maid was gone, Natalie massaged her temples in frustration and stood up. She began pacing around the living room, hoping to find a phone or something.

Previously, the maid had always kept Natalie within sight whenever the latter was downstairs. Hence, Natalie had not had the chance to look around boldly, so she was glad that the maid had finally left.

However, her search of the living room did not yield anything. There were no phones there. In fact, she could not even find a television.

She was curious about whether the villa’s owner had deliberately chosen not to have a television or whether he had forgotten.

Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, Natalie turned toward the stairs.

Balling her fists in determination, she prepared to head upstairs to continue her search.

Natalie quickly scanned the room to ascertain the maid was nowhere in sight. Then, she picked up her skirt and walked up the stairs.

When she reached the second floor, she hesitated a while before stretching out her hand to open the door that had something hanging on it.

Her hand trembled as she reached for the doorknob. It was her first time barging into someone else’s room without permission, and it made her feel like a thief sneaking in to steal something.

Apart from the guilty conscience, she was also fearful that the villa’s owner would discover what she had done when he returned. She did not know how she would explain herself if that happened.

But if I want to contact Shane and leave this place, I’ve got no other choice. It’s what I have to do.

“I’m sorry!” Natalie murmured softly before turning the doorknob.

Alas, the door was locked.

Natalie could not help feeling disappointed.

It looks like the owner of this room is a careful person, making sure to lock the door when they’re not around. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

She let go of the doorknob and gazed toward the other two rooms on the floor.

Although they were not locked, there was nothing in there apart from some furniture and an elevator.

Well, there’s no hope here on the second floor.

Natalie sighed and headed up to the third floor.

One of the rooms on that floor was the one she stayed in, so she skipped that room and headed to the other rooms.

Once again, her search was thwarted because they were all locked.

Although she could not help feeling frustrated and distressed, she also felt a ray of hope.

They must’ve locked the rooms because there’s something important in them. I don’t know what’s inside those rooms now, but I’m definitely going to try and find out. There might be something in there that I can use to contact the outside world!

After making up her mind, Natalie let go of the doorknob and hurried back to the room she was staying in lest the maid happened to see her loitering outside the other rooms and reported it.

It might be easy to trick the maid, but it won’t be easy to pull one over the owners of this villa.

Walking into her room, she turned on the light.
