The scene of the shipwreck came to my mind instantly. I seemed to recall the image of Dicken rescuing me from the water. His deep eyes seemed to leave a print on my heart. All the confusion in my heart seemed to disappear in a second. My mind was filled with many predictions. I couldn't help but turn my head to Jack, waiting for him to continue."Dr. Willie had previously given me a recording. It records everything that happened after your grandfather entered the time portal. That was an entirely different world from Earth. You can think of it as an alien planet. However, the recording was interrupted and intermitted. As a result, I was unable to hear it clearly. One thing I know for sure, though, is that your grandfather gave up something to return to the earth. He promised the leader there that he would pay a high price in the future in exchange for his return to Earth."It all came together in a split second. I choked and said, "Am I...the price?""Huh?" Jack looked at me in conf
Suddenly, Peter grabbed my wrist and said quickly, “Linda, what are you doing?” "I know of a way to heal her wounds. But both of you may need to look away for awhile,"I looked at them awkwardly and said. After all, Jolin was a woman. To heal her in such a small cabin, I need their cooperation. I was very familiar with the sense of humiliation. I can understand Jolin’s feelings now. It was similar to when I was being violated in the laboratory. I almost committed suicide. Fortunately, Jolin was asleep now. Otherwise, I dared not imagine how she would react to my impulsiveness. Thinking of this, I suddenly realized there was a surveillance camera above our heads. I started to feel worried. If I did this in the cabin, it would expose all my movements and Jolin’s conditions to them. Peter held my hand. He looked serious, and he shook his head, “Linda, I don’t encourage you to do this.” He stretched out his hand, gently touched Jolin’s face, and signaled for me to observe Jolin’
"I'll deal with it. Take care of yourself. Don't fight the merpeople above water; they're insane beasts. Only long-distance sniping is beneficial to us. Gary looked at the helicopter about to take off not far away, then escorted me away from them. Hahaha, good luck, guys."When the group had gone a long way, I became aware of the dangerous situation. Gary led the way to a cabin without saying anything. I started to get antsy. Gary had consumed alcohol. Even though he pretended to be fine just now, he laughed as he warned his subordinates. I assumed he'd been drinking a lot, and he was now inebriated. No one could have predicted the harm an immoral drunk would do to me when he abused his position of authority."Gary, take me to Laura. News: I have something to tell her. She'll be fascinated, and appreciate your efforts!" I abruptly said to him, hoping to divert his attention. But he shoved me right into a cabin, as if he didn't even hear me. Behind me, the hatch closed.The surroundi
As he loosened my buttons, I clenched my fist and forced myself to ignore him. "Are you doing this to prove to the merman that I am yours? Do you believe he will develop jealousy like any other man? Ridiculous. He doesn't give a damn. He's a beast, and this will only pique his interest. To him, I'm nothing more than a tool for satisfying his sexual desire. And you share his viewpoint. Do you believe that beast will feel anything for me? Don't you think it's absurd? You have no idea what you're talking about. I'm nothing more than a trade item he paid for in advance."This was my plan to deceive Gary. But I was perplexed. These words sounded like they came from my deepest thoughts. For a brief moment, I mistook them for real. They sounded reasonable. However, the image of Dicken and I spending time together seemed to contradict the thoughts. His narrow, deep eyes seemed to peer through the darkness and fixate on me. 'No!' screamed a voice in my head. 'It's not what you think!'The con
“Give me a reason to accept you, Gary. Please get a doctor for my friend,” I gritted my teeth and said. My eyes were contorted with rage. Gary rubbed his lips on the tip of my nose and breathed an alcoholic odor into my face. The scent almost made me vomit. "Linda, give me a taste of your body first. You know, I have been waiting a long time," He closed his eyes and kissed my ears affectionately. He held my face as if it was a precious jewel. But I didn't have the energy to be disgusted right now. My arms were in excruciating pain from being hung for so long. My arms felt like they were about to dislocate in the next second. I could even hear the cracking of my bones. But he didn’t care about my suffering at all. Instead, he continued to whisper in my ears, “Linda, do you know? You are the only comfort I have on this dirty, chaotic, and disgusting battlefield.” He paused for a minute and began to caress my back. He said, "You have no idea how charming you were when I first to
"Marry you?" I opened my mouth wide in shock. Gary was indeed a lunatic. It was the first time I heard of someone proposing marriage by hanging the other person up and threatening to propose marriage."Yes, marry me," Gary didn’t seem to realize it was a ridiculous joke. Instead, he began to murmur excitedly. He fell into his imagination very quickly, "I can’t wait to make you my bride. Linda, marry me. There’s no turning back. I have secretly found someone to write off your student and identity status. You are no longer a student at Maritime University. You’re a nomad of no nationality. Gradually, you will be forgotten. Following me is the best decision you have made."I was highly stunned as if the lightning had struck me. I only managed to react and understand what Gary meant after a long time. Gary took away my student status. I would not be able to continue my studies at the university. He destroyed my dream. He even erased my existence, removing me from Japan and becoming an in
I took the iron bucket without saying a word and walked into the hatch with it. When my vision cleared up, I realized what Laura meant when she said Dicken was hurting himself. My heart sank upon seeing Dicken. The iron bucket almost fell to the ground. Dicken’s wrists were no longer hung high above his head but had dropped to the height of his shoulder. He dragged the iron chains that were as thick as my wrist above him by force. A few deep ligature marks on his wrists caused by the iron chains were spotted. His bones were probably fractured and his flesh was exposed. The blue blood had solidified into a thick solid stuck between his wrists and handcuffs. “Linda.” Dicken fixed his eyes on me when I came in. The iron chains shook as he spoke, “Linda… I...” he stuttered. He seemed to want to express something but had no idea what to say. I suddenly understood everything. He had heard the conversations between Gary and me. Gary, the psychopathic indeed let Dicken listen to everyt
I held his wrists with care. Dicken uttered a low grunt. God knew how agonizing it was. I was heartbroken, but all I could do was look at his wounds. I slowly peeled away the new tissues stuck to the handcuffs, allowing the newly grown tissues to return to the exposed bones. I stuck out my tongue and meticulously licked all of his wounds, not missing a single one. Healing both of his webbed claws was not a simple task. When both of his wrists were clotted with a transparent layer, I was already sweating from tiredness. Then I finally realized a wet and lubricant thing seemed to be licking my chest. I lowered my head and looked. I didn’t know when Dicken rolled me up with his fishtail. He buried his head in my chest. He looked shy, fluttering his eyelashes, and seemed charmed by my body. He appeared to be aware that I was watching him. He cocked his head to look at me. A lovely arc formed at the corners of his mouth. My heartbeat abruptly skipped a beat. A hot sensation rushed fro
