Chapter 39


    CELINE’S POV


    1/0


    We sailed for an hour before reaching the vast and deste ind in the


    middle of the ocean. When I looked around, I noticed that this ind had not


    been developed yet, which meant that its value was quite high.


    The locals trembled as the sea level rose at a rate that was significantly


    higher than that of the other well–known inds.


    However, because this ind wasn’t so far from the hotel, it would be made


    avable for everyday exploration and new experiences. ording to what


    Jake had exined to me earlier, I believe that purchasing this ce was


    definitely money well spent.


    I had just gotten off the yacht when my stomach began to turn, and I couldn’t


    help but throw up. Lo and behold, I was both seasick and airsick.


    “Celine… are you okay?” Jake inquired as he gently caressed my back before

    “Yeah…” I forced a smile on my face even though I wasn’t feeling too good. If I


    had known that something like this would ur again, I never would have


    gone on this expedition.


    After everyone disembarked the yacht, the excitement that had been


    building up could be evident in their eyes.


    “Wow! This ce is very beautiful!” Mia eximed, and then she and her


    circle of close friends immediately started taking photos together.


    “Let’s go explore first and thene back to eatter!” a blonde–haired man shouted and his friends


    seemed to have no objection.


    A man named Mr. Lee from the hotel immediately led the way, as he was the


    most experienced person on the ind and acting as a manager of Diamond Resort. Jake said, we


    would be much better off if we were led by him if we


    didn’t want to get lost.

    Everyone else followed in his footsteps and went further into the remote


    ind where the only things we saw were endless stretches of white sand,


    gigantic trees, wildflowers, and some wild creatures. After an hour of roaming


    and looking around, we were finally able to settle down and rx, with the


    possible exception of a few birds crowing and one or two snakes that might


    have been lurking nearby,


    After some time had passed, Mia’s group requested a break since they were


    beginning to feel exhausted, “It’s so exhausting…” she mumbled to herself,


    “There’s nothing exciting about this trip…” She was sitting next to the man who


    she said was her new boyfriend and who she had kissed that evening during


    our game of truth or dare.


    “I wouldn’te here even if you offered me a million dors to spend on this ind!” Another woman


    who was inly unhappy with the ce either.


    “You are wee to take a break and have something to eat first, and then we will carry on with the


    journeyter on…” Mr. Leemented, and it


    dawned on me that despite the fact that he was already In his fifties, he was

    physically able and didn’t seem to mind moving around.


    After hearing this, everyone began taking their belongings out of their bags


    and backpacks. I heaved a sigh as I made my way to an area that was less


    overgrown in order to escape the hateful looks that Mia and her friends,


    including my sister, were casting in my direction.


    “It’s okay if you take a break for a little bit…” I turned around and heard Jake


    behind me. “They brought a significant quantity of food. Come and have a


    bite to eat…” He extended his hand to take mine, but I declined to ept it.


    “I’m not hungry…” I murmured, looking around, avoiding his eyes. I was


    surprised to see that the ind was not located in a very isted location.


    The only positive aspect was howrge it was, considering how few nts


    and animals were present.

    “Mr. Harvey!” Someone gave him a call. “There’s something important that I


    have to tell you!”


    He signaled to hold still by raising his palm and waiting a moment before he


    questioned me. “Are you sure you’re not hungry?”


    “Yeah “I nodded with a small smite. “You should go. It seems as though he


    wants to tell some important information to you…”


    “Mr. Harvey!” the man called out again.

    “I’ming!” He yelled back and then went up to him after lightly patting me.


    on the shoulder.


    I continued to travel further by myself, and while I did so, I kept staring at the


    ocean. I couldn’t help but think about the ind where I had been living


    before my mother passed away. And of course, I think about mom, too…


    “I miss you, mom…” I was so caught off guard that I didn’t even notice the


    tears that were already rolling down my cheeks. I wanted to forget


    everything horrible that had urred to me over thest few days, so I


    moved faster and was about to run when someone grabbed my wrist.

    “Where do you think you’re going?” I was stunned for a moment, and even

    though I didn’t turn around to check who it was… I recognized that volce


    ecially.


    Theaved a sigh, wiped away my tears, and turned around, only to be


    confronted by his dark gaze. I nced behind me, but I could no longer find


    them. It seemed as though I have gone astray!

    “What kind of ruse are you ying on me now?” He asked the question, his


    eyes were dull and uninterested, and his tone was incredibly condescending.


    Obviously, he was still angry about what happenedst night.


    I grimaced, retracted my hand, and looked at him with a stony expression.


    “Aww… you’re worried about me now?” I scoffed. “If you’ve got so much time


    on your hand, why don’t you take care your fiancée instead of minding my


    own business?” I snapped as I left him again.
