"Did something go wrong on the island?" Charles asked with some confusion.
Shouldn't you be happy that you escaped from that place? Why do you have this expression
"Answer my question." Elizabeth asked again.
"No." Charles' hand quietly reached for the pistol.
Elizabeth looked a little disappointed, and she said in a self-deprecating voice, "It's really useless. What are you waiting for?"
"What on earth are you talking about—"
Before Charles could finish his words, Elizabeth suddenly rushed forward with her arms open, and the muzzle of Charles' gun was instantly pointed at her abdomen.
Elizabeth's next move made Charles stop his finger on the trigger and kiss the beauty in front of him passionately.
When the other crew members on the deck saw this scene, they winked at each other and quickly left.
"What on earth happened to you?"
He knew Elizabeth's feelings for him, but was this the right time to do such a thing
"Charles, you know what? I was attracted to you the first time I saw you."
"Don't be fooled by my appearance of being very experienced, but actually when it comes to emotions, I'm really not very good at it, and I may be a little crude and crude."
"Dude, why is this girl suddenly saying this? Why does it feel like she is leaving a last will?" Richard also felt something was wrong.
Charles frowned and took Lily out of his pocket, "Lily, go get the doctor."
Watching the white mouse running towards the hatch on the deck, Charles asked Elizabeth, "Tell me what trouble you have and I'll find a way to help you solve it."
Elizabeth shook her head and glanced at the island that was rapidly receding. It was hard to tell whether her eyes were anxious or helpless, but her voice was unusually urgent.
"There's no time to explain. Remember to return my belongings to me when you go back. If you don't hate me, try to find me and get along with me when you go back. Life at sea is too dangerous. I don't know how long I can live. I want to find a companion before I die. Charles... Goodbye."
Elizabeth finished speaking, and her tall body began to turn transparent and fell onto the deck.
Seeing this scene, Charles opened his arms and hugged her without any hesitation.
Between the stars, Elizabeth's body disappeared into Charles's arms, and from where she disappeared, two small things fell from mid-air to the ground.
Charles quickly grabbed two objects in his hands, one was a delicate women's earring, and the other was a human eyeball with small hands and feet.
Looking at the blue pupil, Charles recalled the eye in the crack of the wall when he first arrived on the island.
Then, the words Elizabeth had said while wearing the eyepatch flashed through his mind.
"An eyeball is missing. Phew. That island is too dangerous. I'm lucky to be alive. It's so scary."
The luster on the eyeball quickly dissipated, and its white little hand shrank and dried up quickly after gently stroking Charles' hand. Soon, the eyeball became dead.
Charles stared at the eyeball blankly, as if he understood something.
"Captain, are you looking for me?" The doctor came over.
Charles was silent for a while, then handed the eyeball over and asked, "Can you put it back into the original owner's eye socket?"
The doctor took the eyeball with his iron hand and took a look. "No, this eyeball has been dead for a long time."
Margaret opened her eyes. She snuggled in the soft quilt, staring blankly at the gorgeous crystal chandelier on the ceiling.
It has been a while since she returned to her home, but she still feels unreal.
"Miss Margaret, here are today's clothes."
Seeing that her master had woken up, a maid came up carrying a long silk dress.
Margaret squinted her eyes, stretched, and jumped lightly from the bed.
The maids who had been waiting for a long time came forward respectfully and wanted to help their master take off his pajamas.
"It's okay, I can do it myself." Margaret declined the maids' service.
The head maid at the side waved her hand gently, asking the maids who seemed somewhat helpless to retreat.
This situation has happened several times. Since my young lady came back, her attitude towards the servants in the house has changed drastically.
Although the eldest lady was very loving before, she was more caring towards cats and dogs, and completely ignored the servants. But now she is completely different. Not only does she care about the servants, but she also asks them about their well-being.
The graceful figure, pretty face, just the right amount of light makeup, the silk dress that shines silver under the light, and the delicate high heels all combine to give Margaret a generous, decent, and noble temperament. The pearl of Hefang Island is back.
That delicate face made the maid next to her a little dazed.
Margaret looked at herself in the mirror, turned around playfully, and had a faint smile on her face. "If Mr. Charles saw me like this, he would be so surprised that his jaw would drop, hehe."
The maids looked at each other for a few seconds. Since their mistress came back, she always talked about the man named Charles. They didn't know who was so lucky to get their mistress's attention. If the numerous suitors on the island knew about it, they would be jealous to death.
"Gina, how did your hand get injured? You should rest today. If the housekeeper asks, just say it was me who said it." After Margaret said this, she lifted her skirt with her hand and ran towards the living room.
"Mother! Good morning!" Margaret gently hugged a beautiful woman.
Kalita stroked her daughter's long, smooth hair lovingly, "You'll be 17 in three months, why are you still lying in bed?"
"No matter how old I am, I am still mother's daughter!" Margaret smiled and acted coquettishly towards her mother.
"Hurry up and have breakfast, I made it myself." Kalita pulled Margaret to sit next to her.
Margaret smiled at her mother, then elegantly took a spoonful of milk from a silver spoon and placed it to her lips.
The milk with condensed milk was extremely sweet and delicious. Margaret couldn't help but narrow her eyes. After drinking a few sips, she began to attack other delicacies on the table.
Soy beans in tomato sauce, sausage sandwiches, slightly hot fried eggs, Margaret felt full of happiness when she put each delicacy into her mouth.
Seeing her daughter, who was previously picky about food, behaving like this, Kalita's eyes couldn't help but become red. How much suffering did her poor daughter have to endure? She could even eat an ordinary breakfast with such relish.
Looking at her sad mother, Margaret swallowed what she had in her mouth, held her hand and said, "Mother, don't be sad. Look, I'm back safe and sound."
