After thinking for a while, she suddenly stood up and ran towards the woods.
Spotting the trees blown down by the wind and waves on the ground, Sumr Sutton dragged them one by one to the beach.
She placed all the dragged trees side by side, using the resilient plants from the island to bind them into a raft. She arduously pushed the raft into the water.
Looking up at the wind direction today, Sumr Sutton stepped onto the raft.
The weather is great today, and there is no significant wind on the sea surface at the mont, making it a good ti to leave.
She didn’t know how long her raft would last, nor how the weather would change later, or how the wind and waves on the sea would behave.
But she couldn’t bother with all that now.
To leave here, she could only try.
It was inevitable that attempting to leave carried risks, but staying here ant only waiting to die!
Sumr Sutton only hoped to find a human-populated coastline before the weather changed or before nightfall, or encounter another ship.
Struggling to paddle, the homade raft slowly left the isolated island where she had stayed for several days, under the effect of the water’s waves.
Today the weather is great, and two or three hours after Sumr Sutton’s ship set out, she hadn’t encountered a single wave.
However, gradually she found her strength waning.
What’s more, she had been on this island for several days, surviving on wild fruits, and actually hadn’t had a full stomach for days.
Sumr Sutton paddled increasingly laboriously, but now, being on the sea and already away from the island, she could only keep paddling.
Biting her teeth, and cheering herself up, Sumr Sutton had no choice but to muster all her strength and continue paddling.
The surroundings remained vast and empty, with nothing but forests and more forests, without a hint of human presence.
Who knows how much ti passed, when sothing unexpected happened to Sumr Sutton.
The wind picked up on the sea, and the raft Sumr Sutton was on got flipped by a sudden wave. After being swept into the sea, the already tired and exhausted Sumr Sutton lost her last bit of consciousness.
Just before fainting, driven by the instinct to survive, she struggled to hold on to a piece of wood...
...
Sumr Sutton had a long dream.
She dread of her childhood when her father was by her side.
Back then, she was little, and although she had never seen her mother, she was pampered by her father every day. Her father took her everywhere he went, introducing her to people by saying, "This is my little princess!"
That was Sumr Sutton’s happiest ti.
At that ti, she was indeed the princess of the Walyon Family.
Everyone treasured her, and everything she wanted she got.
However, in an instant, the dream turned into the now desolate Sutton Family.
The Sutton Family mansion was cold and deserted, with nothing left in the house, Gina Sutton’s family was gone, and even the old butler who used to help guard the house was no longer there.
In her dream, Sumr Sutton returned ho and walked around the Sutton Family mansion several tis. When she ca out, she unexpectedly saw her father.
Her father stood at the door, smiling kindly as he reached out to her, with a voice so real, "Sumr, I’ve co to pick you up!"
Seeing his face, Sumr Sutton suddenly felt an urge to cry.
She wanted to throw herself into his arms and tell him about many things that happened over the years.
She wanted to tell him how much she missed him.
She wanted to tell him that without him, she’s felt so helpless and alone.
She wanted to tell him so many things...
In the dream, Sumr Sutton was already wanting to walk over to him, intending to place her hand in his, when suddenly she heard Adrian Walyon’s voice, "Sumr!"
