    The Merman, My Man by ck Velvet Chapter 102


    The idea of escaping disappeared the moment Iid my eyes upon the ind. Instead, my heart was


    filled with eagerness to arrive at the ind. It was a bait that no marine biologist could deny.


    But at the same time, I couldn’t help but recall what Dicken had told me when we were locked in the


    cargo hold as well as the red-haired merman I met. My excitement dissipated, and my heart sank as I

    now felt conflicted about going to the ind.


    I was worried something terrible would happen once I got there. I hoped that the unique characteristics


    of my body wouldn’t catch the eye of another merman aside from Dicken, including that red-haired


    merman. Regrettably, I didn’t pick up any self- defense skills, so I was just an utterly defenseless


    woman. The only thing I could do was establish a cordial rtionship with Gary, as he was the only one


    I could rely on when we arrived. As for Laura and the other military-affiliated personnel, I couldn’t trust


    them at all.


    ‘But how can I mend my rtionship with Gary? Too much had happened between us and I can’t face


    him like a regr student anymore. Moreover, he had seen what Dicken had done to me too many


    times…’


    When my mind drifted to this thought, the frustration made me punch the floorboard several times to


    vent my anger. I leaned forward to rest my head against the railing, stuck my legs out in between the


    horizontal bars of the railing, and stared in the direction of Lemend. I had initially wanted to take the


    time to organize my thoughts, but I unexpectedly fell asleep from exhaustion.


    Night hade by the time I woke up, but I could clearly see the outline of the mysterious ind even


    without the help of binocrs. The ind glowed with an eerie green light in the foggy darkness of


    light. Compared to when I saw it in the daytime , the ind looked much more sinister now. Due to the


    mixture of cold night air and fear of what mighte, I started to shiver.


    I looked up and saw numerous clouds hanging low as they nketed the sky. It looked like a storm was


    brewing, so I quickly stood up and ran back into my cabin.


    Everyone on board was filled with excitement for the next two days as they waited to arrive at the


    ind. Gary seemed eager to reconcile with me as he stopped bringing up the previous events. This


    made me feel at ease, and I could finally rx around him. The two days of peace and tranquility were


    rare and precious, although I knew this illusion wouldn’tst much longer.


    This pirate ship sustained damages during the battle against the pelican eels, so the sailors were still


    engaged in repairs. That was why our sailing speed had slowed. I used the time to rest, regain my


    energy, and even had Gary teach me some self-defense moves. I had also procured a sharp military-


    issued dagger and a handgun.


    Of course, Laura had no idea about any of this. Gary probablyplied with my request out of guilt,


    hoping that I could escape from Dicken’s grasp the next time I saw him.


    But for some reason, I didn’t see Dicken again ever since he leaped out of the window that day.(fast

    I resumed my habit of writing in my diary, but my heart couldn’t stop beating whenever I wrote Dicken’s


    name. It was like his name had been carved into the depths of my body. Even when he wasn’t around, I


    could still feel his presence around me.


    ‘If I continue down this train of thought, I wouldn’t be able to resume writing…’


    So, I quickly closed the diary and hit my head on the table several times.


    ‘Keep it together, Linda! Stop thinking about him! He might note see you again…’
