Chapter 286. How Did You Know?

By the time Nancy and Crystal made it to the car, Clark was half asleep. But after all that he had been through, this was no surprise. Not only had Michelle burned the boy’s arm and beaten him, but she had also deprived him of sleep and nutritional food. When he heard his mother’s voice, though, he opened his eyes and sat up straight. He nuzzled up against her and said, “Thank you for saving me, Mommy.”

Nancy ran her fingers through his hair and said, “Clark, my sweetie, we are going to leave all the bad people behind us, and they will never find us. We will live together forever, and we will be happy.”

Having rescued Clark, the next step was to rescue Nathan from the castle and meet up with the ship that Noah had arranged for them. After crossing the border of Kuerto, Vic would send a helicopter to greet them. Then, they would go their separate ways. Nathan would go off on his own, Noah would return to the island, and the other three would proceed to Seattle.<
