Chapter 462:

Just as despair began to creep in, her fingers brushed against something inside her pocket.

She reached in, her frozen hands fumbling, and pulled out a small bundle.

It was a few pieces of chocolate she had absentmindedly stuffed in her pocket before leaving the house.

It was rock hard from the cold, each bite crunching between her teeth. But right now, it was the most delicious thing she had ever tasted. The small burst of sugar…

A flicker of energy coursed through her, just enough to keep her moving for another ten minutes.
