Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 203

Chapter 203:

Within two minutes, she started hearing faint noises. At first, she thought she was mistaken, but the sound intensified.

Looking up, a raindrop hit her squarely on the forehead, quickly followed by more hitting her face. Within five minutes, the light drizzle had escalated into a heavy downpour. The rain, accompanied by howling wind, pelted her relentlessly. Streams of rainwater trickled down, soaking her body and head.

Surrounded by trees, her only shelter was under their branches. She sought out the spot with the densest foliage. Yet, she ended up soaked through, like a drowned rat.

As the temperature dropped further, Rachel, thoroughly drenched, began to shiver uncontrollably. She took out her phone to call for help, but there was no signal. There seemed to be no way out. The mountain felt utterly deserted.

She worried that if she froze to death here, her fate would remain unknown. Yet, she was not ready to give up on life. Gathering her strength, she stood, using a stick for support as she made her way down the slippery path.

Suddenly, her foot slipped on a wet stone, throwing off her balance. In an instant, she was rolling down the slope. She continued tumbling for several meters until her head struck a rock with force. Blood poured out, and she fell unconscious.
