Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 637

Janet came back to consciousness to the sound of the ceaseless thunderous claps of the surf against the rocks.

She opened her eyes again and looked at the sea. The rain had eased up completely but the sky was still an ominous gloomy grey. She had no idea of how long she had been there.

She was exhausted so she curled up under the shelter of some rocks and slept for some time.

She looked in the distance to the horizon and couldn't spot a single boat or ship passing by. There was no sign of life apart from the occasional seagull diving into the reef.

Janet swallowed hard and licked her chapped lips, and her stomach growled ravenously. Now she was parched and starving.

Fortunately, since it had rained today, some water had collected in a shallow depression in the reef.

She lay on the reef and scooped up some water into her cupped hands. She sipped the water to try to quench her thirst.

After sipping some of it, she felt like some life had returned to her body.

As for food, Janet could only look for seaweed and bird eggs on the rocks, which barely filled her stomach.

When a person was extremely hungry and thirsty, food of any kind felt as precious as gold. As soon as she finished eating, a downpour of rain ensued once again. The only thing she could do was curl up under the shelter of rocks to avoid the whipping wind and rain.

The night sea breeze was frigid. She took off her wet coat and placed it on the reef. She incessantly rubbed her hands together, desperately trying to keep herself warm.

Janet could do nothing but wait. She encouraged herself to hang on for a few more days. There would definitely be a boat coming for her.

After two days of staying by the reef, the weather finally took a turn for the better. The sun dispelled the dark clouds and stormy haze.
