Lily looked at Nico in front of her in disbelief. Back when they were on the Narwhal, Second Officer Nico was her best friend.
Even if this was Nico from another dimension, she didn't expect that he would be so ruthless. You know, in the process of getting along with her, Nico's identity has always been an intimate elder sister.
Nico is no ordinary person to be able to become the governor of a region. He has never revealed this other side of him to Lily, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have it.
Dr. Oliver, who was carrying a suitcase in one hand, could not bear to watch. He said agitatedly, "But Governor, we have not sold our house on Coral Island. Our land is still here!"
Nico stretched lazily and stood up from the handsome man's arms. "Of course I know, so I will compensate you with 10 times the price. You can use this money to buy more houses on other islands."
As if afraid that Lily and the others would refuse to leave, Nico added, "Don't worry too much. Only the allies of Hope Island know about your powerful strength. The governors of other islands don't know this."
"As long as you hide well and don't reveal your identity, I believe they won't cause you any trouble. Besides, if things really don't work out, you can always go to other sea areas. The other islands are much more empty now."
Listening to Nico's words, Lily pouted her lips, clenched her fists, her face turned red, and her nostrils flared.
Seeing that Lily seemed to be in a bad mood, Nico was not worried, he had already prepared himself.
"Woo~" A shrill whistle sounded from the dock behind them. Those were the newest warships from Hope Island.
The gradually mature fire control system has already targeted Lily's family of three.
"My dear, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to do this, but as the governor I have to be responsible for my islanders."
Feeling very aggrieved, Lily's lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing, grabbed the box next to her and walked towards the tall passenger ship behind her.
She wanted to say something, but she was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, tears would roll down her eyes uncontrollably.
Lily returned to the passenger ship, with her head hung low. She lay weakly on the bed, curled up into a ball, just like when she was still a mouse, lying in Charles' palm.
At this moment, she seemed to be abandoned by everything. Only the potion hanging on her chest could make Lily feel the only warmth.
At this time, a warm hand reached out and patted Lily on the shoulder. "It's okay, kid. If it doesn't work, we can go to other islands. They are all the same."
"But other islands are not home... Mom, did I do something wrong?" Lily turned around and looked at her mother.
"How could that be? My daughter, you did nothing wrong. They were the ones who were wrong. There is no need to make excuses for yourself for some things."
Lily didn't feel much better after hearing her mother's comfort. She still felt that she had made the wrong choice again.
Maybe I should take all these into consideration before making a choice next time. Maybe I haven’t learned enough.
At this moment, she missed her friends very much, those companions who had been through life and death with her, and wanted to find them to tell them all the grievances in her heart.
The more she thought about it, the stronger the urge became. Lily's body began to float up, and she reached out to open the window next to her. "Mom, I want to go out and relax. I'll be back soon!"
The energy bursting out of her body enveloped Lily's entire body. Her fair skin was almost transparent under the light.
Like a meteor, she quickly passed through the rock layer and the sea surface, rushing towards the V12 containment point where the plane was switched.
Lily was moving very fast. She used all her heart and soul to drive the energy in her body, and even a sonic boom occurred around her.
But when she arrived above the V12 shelter, she was stunned by the scene in front of her. The egg-shaped oval building had disappeared.
Lily, who had been trying to restrain herself from crying, finally couldn't help it at this moment. Tears fell from her eyes and she cried with her lips pouted.
The disappearance of V12 means that she will never be able to go back, and she will never see her former companions again.
This also means that Lily's last chance of staying is gone.
Standing on an empty island, Lily cried in despair, her tears dripping and soaking the soil on the ground.
Time passed minute by minute, and Lily was finally tired of crying. She didn't plan to go back, just like she did when she was a mouse. She just lay on the ground and fell asleep in a daze.
For some reason, Lily slept very comfortably. She hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time.
Half asleep, Lily turned over, hugged the stuffed rabbit next to her into her arms, buried her cheek in it and rubbed it gently.
"Rabbit? Am I not on a deserted island now? How could there be a rabbit?" When this thought flashed through Lily's mind, she woke up instantly.
The white sunlight instantly enveloped and protected her body.
When Lily opened her eyes and looked around, she was stunned. She should have been on a deserted island, but now she was on the bed in a bedroom.
This is a bedroom dominated by apple green. There are not many things in it but everything is very tidy. There is a beautifully designed pink round chandelier, a simple and practical large mahogany cabinet, and a small bookcase that can hold many books.
Lily remembered this place. It was her previous bedroom in Hope Island. These furniture should have been sold at a low price long ago because they had to move.
"What on earth is..." Lily hugged the rabbit in her arms and walked towards the window.
When the window was pushed open, the cover on the island's sunshade roof had just opened.
The sun shone down in a slanting stream, and the sea breeze from the distant pier made her hair sway gently. This was Hope Island, and she was actually back.
"Knock knock~" There was a sudden knock on the door, and Lily's mother's voice came from outside.
"Lily, didn't you say yesterday that you would go to school early today? Breakfast is already ready. It will be too late if you don't go now." All her memories of the past disappeared.
"What's going on? Didn't I drive them all away with the bandages? Why are they still here? Is this just a dream?"
Just when Lily's mind was in a mess, she was suddenly attracted by a piece of paper on the table.
There was a simple narwhal drawn with a pen on it, and a paragraph of words: "Lily, the matter has been resolved. You can continue to live here in peace. Sorry, I am not very sensitive to time now, so it is a bit late."
After reading the paper several times, Lily suddenly smiled sweetly. She raised her right hand and looked at the small tattoo on the inside of her right thumb.
It was a small narwhal, which was tattooed by the first mate on the day they broke up. But because he drank too much, the tattoo was crooked and ugly.
Looking at the tattoo on her hand and then at the narwhal on the paper, Lily smiled even more happily, but tears fell from her eyes as she smiled.
Even if he had gone to another dimension, Mr. Charles would still appear when he was in trouble.
Her tear-stained eyelashes blinked slightly, and she said with a trembling voice: "Mr. Charles, I really miss you."
