Chapter 870 Finding A Penguin


    “Wow!”


    Upon hearing the announcement on the ship, Ben and Anna immediately rushed


    to the deck, their eyes filled with excitement as they beheld the spectacr


    scene before them.


    They had seen countless pictures of Antarctica on television and the phone, but


    only when they were there did they realize that photos could never capture even


    a tenth of its true beauty.


    The impact of nature left a deep impression on the two children for the first time.


    “Can we disembark now?” Anna could not wait to turn around and look at Joe


    and Charlotte, her face full of eagerness.


    “Be careful, okay?” Charlotte reminded them. “Once we go down, you mustn’t run


    around. Stay close to us, alright?”


    Ben and Anna readily agreed. In fact, they would nod along to anything Charlotte


    said at this point.


    Charlotte cast a helpless nce at Joe. “I think it’s better if we each hold one of


    them.”


    Even though the two kids had agreed enthusiastically, they might forget


    everything in a little while.


    Charlotte and Joe each held one of the children’s hands as they disembarked


    from the cruise ship. Along the way, they bumped into Noah’s family. Anna still


    remembered how Samuel had hit her with a cake before, so she simply turned


    her head and refused to greet him.


    Charlotte nodded slightly to the two of them with a hint of apology. Harper and


    Noah quickly smiled back at her, then went their separate ways.


    Anna and Ben jumped and frolicked on the snowy ground, the exhaled air turning


    intoyers of white mist, making them even more excited.


    “Mom, can I go over there?”


    Ben asked Charlotte while stepping on the snow for a while, pointing to a nearby


    rock.


    Charlotte saw the rock well within their line of sight and, after a brief thought,


    agreed.


    Ben quickly waved for Anna toe over, and Joe took the opportunity to walk


    over to Charlotte, holding her hand.


    “In a ce like this, I realize just how insignificant humans are,” Joe said, looking


    at the distant ciers emitting a faint blue light.


    Each piece of ice here was much older than they were.


    Humans often think of themselves as the masters of nature, butpared to the


    vastness of nature, they are the shallowest and most insignificant beings.


    Charlotte turned around and smiled at him. “Why the sudden profound


    thoughts?”


    Joe was about to speak when he heard a cry of surprise from Ben and Anna


    nearby.


    Their expressions changed immediately, and they rushed quickly towards the


    direction they were in.


    “What happened?” Charlotte noticed Ben and Anna huddled together and


    thought someone might be injured, so she hurriedly asked.


    However, she was surprised to see Anna carefully pulling back her coat,


    revealing a furry creature inside.


    “What’s this?”


    Even though Charlotte considered herself experienced, she was still startled


    when she saw the living creature in Anna’s arms.


    It was a tiny penguin. N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    However, this penguin was too tiny, and its call sounded weak, suggesting it


    might not be in good condition.


    “Where did you find it?” Charlotte quickly looked around but didn’t see any other


    penguins nearby.


    Penguins are social animals, and young penguins can’t survive without their


    parents. How did this one end up abandoned here?


    Ben quickly exined, “I saw something moving over here just now, and I didn’t


    expect it to be a penguin! Can we keep it?”
