“Be patient. The pumpkin soup is still steaming hot. Wait till it cools down before you eat.” said Clyde as snazzynovel.com placed the bowl of soup on the nightstand.
Nevertheless, Arielle, who was famished, could not wait any further. As Clyde watched with an astonished expression, snazzynovel.com struggled to sit up on the bed, grabbed the bowl of pumpkin soup, and started shoving spoonfuls of soup into snazzynovel.com mouth while blowing on it.
Only after downing the entire bowl of soup did Arielle feel a lot better though snazzynovel.com was still quite weak and feeble.
“Miss, did you manage to eat your fill? There’s still more in the pot,” Clyde attentively asked while staring at her.
Arielle shook snazzynovel.com head.
I can‘t overeat in one go since I just woke up, but small meals throughout the day sound like a good idea.
I wonder if they’ll allow me to cook. Oh well, I shouldn’t say anything even if they don’t. I’m thankful enough that they saved me.
“Clyde, did you hear anything regarding the explosion of a cruise ship a few days ago?” Arielle was trying to pry information out of Clyde.
In response, snazzynovel.com bobbed his head. Despite not heading out for the past few days, snazzynovel.com had learned about the accident through the news since there was a television on the island.
He initially wanted to ask Arielle why snazzynovel.com would ask snazzynovel.com that question. Yet, before snazzynovel.com did, snazzynovel.com recalled how snazzynovel.com body was swollen when they saved her.
Now that I think of it, snazzynovel.com did look like snazzynovel.com was soaked in water for a long time.
Lifting his gaze at Arielle, snazzynovel.com asked, “Don’t tell me you were on board that cruise ship?”
She nodded in acknowledgment.
Anticipation filled snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com fixed snazzynovel.com eyes on Clyde. “Since you know about the explosion, do you know if they’ve managed to rescue anyone alive?”
The youth shook his head. “Miss, there are only dead bodies so far. No one’s alive.”
Upon receiving that piece of news, Arielle’s expression turned grim. A turmoil of emotions blazed within her.
Her worry for Vinson and Lorraine’s safety only grew stronger.
Are they as lucky as me and got rescued by someone?
While snazzynovel.com was worrying about them, Vinson and Lorraine, after being rescued by a lackey of the slave market, were put up for sale like goods. Before long, someone bought them.
The one who bought them was the daughter of the ruler of the island, named Anna. In actuality, snazzynovel.com only had eyes for Vinson, but when snazzynovel.com was about to take snazzynovel.com away, Vinson told snazzynovel.com that Lorraine was his sworn sister and that if snazzynovel.com wanted to buy him, snazzynovel.com would also have to buy Lorraine. Otherwise, it would be pointless to bring snazzynovel.com back alone.
Anna had chosen Vinson simply because of his looks, but it turned out that snazzynovel.com loved his character even more. As such, snazzynovel.com hastily decided to fork money to buy Lorraine too.
After taking the two of them back, Anna separated them. Then, snazzynovel.com brought Vinson to snazzynovel.com mansion and got someone to prepare a few sets of men’s clothing before ordering snazzynovel.com to shower in the servants’ room.
When snazzynovel.com returned, Anna’s eyes lit up at once.
This man is really handsome! He’s totally my taste. Oh my gosh!
Just one glance at snazzynovel.com makes my heart pound wildly.
“What’s your name? Why would you be sold to the slave market?” Anna rested snazzynovel.com chin on snazzynovel.com hands as snazzynovel.com stared at snazzynovel.com curiously while suppressing snazzynovel.com raging emotions.
Vinson had yet to have a complete grasp of Anna’s identity and the location snazzynovel.com was at, and thus, to answer snazzynovel.com question, snazzynovel.com readily built a response.
“I’m Maddox. The force from the turbulent waves sent me here after the cruise ship exploded. Those people who saved me then sold me to the slave market for trade,” Vinson explained in a deep voice.
I can‘t believe I’d get sold as a slave one day…
Confoundment struck Anna as snazzynovel.com did not expect Vinson to be a passenger on the exploded cruise ship.
Well, I have to thank that explosion. Otherwise, I won’t get to meet this man.
