Waylon stood up. “Let’s go. We’ll figure out how to get out of here later.”After Cameron finished packing up her stuff, she snuffed out the fire. They then left through another pathway.On the other side, Mahina was searching the woods with a group of people.Nollace walked to an empty space and squatted down to observe the surroundings.Mahina came up to him and asked, “Did you find something, Mr. Knowles?”He stretched his hand forward and touched the ground. “Somebody has lit up a fire here. This scorched wood is still warm.”Mahina was stunned. “It must be Mr. Southern and Mr. Goldmann!”Nollace rose to his feet. “Let’s find a way to contact them first. At least, we need to let them know it’s us who’re looking for them.”Apparently, they thought they were their enemies, so they ran away quickly. Nollace surmised that one of them must be injured. Otherwise, they would have hidden and observed the situation instead of running away.Meanwhile, Cameron and Waylon finally reac
Cameron took a sip from the porridge and replied, “It's true. There are only this many people in this fishing village. The youngsters have all left the Eastern Islands, and those that stayed behind are old people. A very small number of middle-aged people refuse to leave because of their parents, so they stay on the islands to do fishing business.”The old lady nodded and sighed. “Most of us in the village are poor illegal immigrants from Eurasia. If it hadn't been for Mr. Southern Sr. to take us to the islands and allow the men in the village the opportunity to work in the fishing business so that we could earn some money to support our families, we wouldn't know where we would be now.”The old lady had a son and daughter too, but they were working in Eurasia and would come back to visit them from time to time. However, they were old. They couldn't go so far with their son and daughter anymore, so they had to stay on the Eastern Islands.Waylon looked at Cameron but did not say any
“I’m not worried about them.” Sunny raised his head. “They’re smart, so I’m sure they can solve their own problem. What I’m worried about is the other people.”The butler knew what he was talking about. “Are you worried that Fabio will make a move?”Sunny’s face sank. “If Fabio really joins forces with Donald, we might not be a match for them. Besides, our enemies are hiding in the dark while we’re in the light. It's very obvious that they're preparing to have a war with us, judging from what they did to Cam. They'll think we're a bunch of pushovers if we don't do anything.”After he finished speaking, he rose to his feet and said, “I’m going to the hospital.”It was about time to get rid of Manuel.Once again, Sunny came to the hospital to pay Joaqin a visit.Joaqin could sit on the bed right now, but he still couldn’t walk yet. When he saw Sunny, he was surprised.Sunny put his jacket on the back of the chair and sat down. “I’ll go straight to the point. Joaqin, I’m sure you a
Manuel was confident that Sunny would dispatch all his men to look for Cameron when she went missing. No matter how great Sunny was as a fighter, he was not as good as he used to be since he was already old, so he would get exhausted very soon. If he could get rid of the leader of the Southern Clan and Joaqin in one sitting, dealing with Cameron would be a piece of cake.Sunny chuckled. “You’re too young, Manuel.”Manuel’s face sank as he barked out his order, “Go get him!”The two men standing behind Sunny rushed forward and engaged them in a melee. Manuel did not just stay at the back, either. He pulled out a dagger and threw himself at Sunny while he was not watching.However, Sunny was not an easy target. Even though he was old, his experience and his martial arts skills had given him an edge over Manuel.After they exchanged a few blows, Manuel was slowly getting overwhelmed. The other two fighters hastily came over to assist Manuel, and three of them fought against Sunny.
The doctor came out, and they hastily asked, “How is Mr. Southern Sr.?”The doctor took off his mask and said,” Don’t worry. Mr. Southern Sr. will be fine. We’ve already stitched the wound. Just make sure that he has enough rest and doesn't get any water on the wound in the next few days. After a week, he can come back here and get the stitches removed.”Daisie pushed the door open and entered the ward.She saw that Sunny was lying on the bed, receiving an infusion while his pale face was filled with fatigue. She dared not to imagine what would happen if she had come a little later.Sunny’s men walked inside and said, “Don’t worry, Ms. Vanderbilt. Mr. Southern Sr. will be fine.”She nodded and asked, ”By the way, what is Mr. Southern Sr. doing in the hospital?”The man replied, “Mr. Southern Sr. is here to look for Joaqin.”Daisie was startled. “Joaqin is still alive?”He nodded. “Manuel planned to kill Joaqin, but Neal saved him.”After he finished speaking, he sighed and con
Waylon hesitated slightly. “You...”“Are you shy?” Cameron looked at him and raised her eyebrows lightly. “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to you. Just treat me like a man.”Waylon was at a loss for words.Cameron arranged her pillows, and in order to make room for him, she lay on her side with her back facing him and then added, “I don’t move much when I’m asleep. You have my word that I won’t be touching you while you’re sleeping, so don’t worry.”Waylon smiled helplessly, smoothed the blanket on his body, and lay down on his back. The small single bed was indeed a little too crowded for two people, and it was almost impossible to turn over at will.Cameron lay on her side and left a little gap between the two of them, most probably fearing that she would get into contact with the wound on his arm.Waylon stared at the ceiling for a long time, then turned his head to the side and looked at the woman lying beside him with her back facing him. “You really don’t mind this at all,
Daisie walked out from behind the group of men. One of the assassins was stunned and realized something. “Aren’t you the nurse at the nurse station?”Daisie squinted and smirked. “Then are you doctors only because you’re wearing white coats?”The men were at a loss for words.They had wanted to sneak into the hospital in the middle of the night to murder Joaqin, but they did not expect these people to wait here to ambush them ahead of time. It was estimated that the people who had gone after Sunny had also failed.…It was dawn, and a ray of sunlight shone into the room through a crack in the window.Because Cameron had been sleeping in one position, her entire arm was numb when she woke up.She turned over subconsciously and found that there was another blanket on her body, and the other side of the bed was empty.When she rubbed her hand against the space of the bed, there was not even a trace of residual warmth.‘It seems that he’s woken up a lot earlier.’Cameron did some
Cameron tutted. “How dare you glare at me? Do you believe that I’ll pluck all your feathers out now?”Seeing that she was so into competing and having fun with the two chickens, Waylon smiled and shook his head.The two stood on the side of the road and waited for a ride. After a while, a tractor drove past.The tractor was heading for Southernshire, so Waylon and Cameron got onto the tractor for a ride. The sun shone on the two of them, there was no shelter, and the road was bumpy. Thus, the journey back home could be said to be extremely tormenting.When the tractor arrived at the intersection in front of the town, the two got out of the vehicle, and Cameron sprinted to the side of the road, leaned forward, propped her arms against a tree, and vomited.Waylon gave all the change that he had on him to the driver. The driver took a glimpse at Cameron and asked, “Is your wife pregnant? Why is she vomiting so badly?”Waylon cleared his throat awkwardly, but before he could say anyt
