Thinking about this, Paige suddenly understood something and turned her eyes to the man beside her.
Enrico raised an eyebrow, “What are you looking at me for?”
Did you find him even more handsome?
“Did you let someone else go to the island?” Paige asked indifferently.
He only killed Quint and his subordinates, because they were the only ones who had insulted her.
Enrico had made a promise with her, and he had also shot at the top of the mountain, shooting three holes in Quint’s body. This had taken care of most of the anger, so there was no need to kill anyone else.
Then there was only one person she could think of…
“…”
She was really smart.
Enrico stood in place, his eyes darkening for a second, then he lowered his eyes and stared at her nonchalantly, his tongue nudging his cheek, without answering.
Paige didn’t pursue the matter, but said coldly, “Tell her that I am now capable of handling everything, and what she is doing is not even worthy of being called icing on the cake, so don’t do it anymore.”
It was a long time ago that she needed someone to hold up the sky for her.
Now, she really doesn’t need it that much.
“Oh,” Enrico responded lightly, and then asked her, “No hard feelings?”
“No,” Paige said, and her feelings towards the Folsom family were just one word: indifferent.
“…”
Kevin looked at them with some confusion, feeling like he was listening to a riddle.
“Kevin, tell everyone that we need to all be on the cruise ship before dark, and we’ll leave as soon as possible,” Paige said, giving him a look.
“OK,” Kevin nodded.
…
At 5 pm, the people on the island finally packed up what they needed to, and the large group set off one after the other.
An isolated island surrounded by the sea, the group slowly moved towards the cruise ship like a hovering dragon.
When they finally reached the island, the initial excitement faded, as did the deep-seated hatred.
Paige stood on the sidelines, watching everyone walk forward, and the distant huts gradually became a touch of embellishment.
Three years.
She finally did it.
Suddenly, her hand was taken.
Paige glanced over, and Enrico was holding her hand, leading her forward like a child.
She whispered, “After a hundred years, the sacrifices on this island can finally end.”
“Well, my woman is really amazing,”
Enrico casually complimented, and put his arms around her. “When we go back, can you focus on spending time with me?”
“We’ve been together the whole time, how can we spend time together?” Paige laughed.
“How many times a day do I get to decide?” Enrico raised an eyebrow.
He remembered it really well.
“But you already broke your promise and shot,” she looked up from his arms.
“Please provide evidence that I fired the gun,” Enrico laughed, playing the rogue to the end.
“You…”
Paige was about to say something to him when she suddenly heard a sound of light footsteps running behind her. She turned around and saw Bastion rushing over with red eyes. He stumbled and fell to the ground.
“Sister Paige…” Bastion looked up at her with tears in his eyes as he lay on the ground. “You should go check on the old lady, she’s vomiting blood…”
On hearing this, Paige’s face turned white, and she let go of Enrico and ran back.
Master Chris refused to lie on the stretcher, so Paige and her subordinates modified her rocking chair a bit, passed the stick through it, lifted it up, and had it carried by a special person towards the cruise ship.
In the procession, master Chris, who was lying in the rocking chair, suddenly straightened up, tilted his head to the side, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The blood splashed on the ground, a thick splash of color.
“Teacher!”
Paige rushed over with a white face, took out a tissue to wipe the blood on her mouth, and shouted, ‘Where’s the doctor? Where’s the doctor?’
Dr. Clinton was on the cruise ship researching about fruit and dead wood, and there were only other doctors in the team.
The nearest doctor hurried over, took out a stethoscope to listen to the old lady, and looked at Paige with a wordless expression in his eyes.
Paige knew what it meant, so she gave him a cold glare.
The doctor dared not say anything more, and just said, “I’ll give the old lady a nutrient infusion.”
Nutrient infusion, nutrient infusion again…
Master Chris was leaning in a high-backed rocking chair, looking at the pale-faced Paige, and suddenly smiled, “Paige.”
“Teacher,” Paige immediately looked at her.
“I want to go see the sea again.” Master Chris looked at her with a very calm tone, “It’s a pity to live in a shack all day, listening to the sound of the sea but not being able to see it.”
Hearing this, Paige knew that master Chris was very clear about her physical condition.
She forced a smile, “Teacher, let’s go to the cruise ship. There are rooms with a sea view.”
Master Chris shook his head, “I’m too tired from being tossed around by them to walk.”
“Then I’ll carry you.”
“Paige…”
Master Chris looked at her with a firm attitude.
Paige stood aside and looked at her, her eyes suddenly becoming watery and misty. “Teacher, once we get on the cruise ship, we can leave.”
Once we get on the cruise ship, we can go back to our hometown.
We’ve survived for three years, and we’re just one step away, just one step away.
But master Chris shook his head, “I just want to see the sea. Why are you disobeying me?”
“I want to take you away,”
Paige said, looking at her old face, her words full of force, like a stubborn child, her voice betraying a hint of tremor.
“…”
When master Chris saw her like this, his eyes welled up with tears, and he hurriedly looked away so she wouldn’t see.
“You guys, carry the old lady to the beach,” a cold voice suddenly said.
Enrico stood next to Paige.
Paige’s long eyelashes trembled, and she subconsciously pressed Enrico’s arm. Enrico looked at her with downcast eyes, his handsome face expressionless, and said the plain truth in a flat voice, ‘She won’t make it.’
With her body, the old lady could not withstand the short ride on Wind Island, nor could she withstand a single cruise.
“…” Paige’s hand on his arm stiffened.
“If you want to hear her last words, don’t be stubborn,” Enrico said coldly, taking her hand in his palm.
Her hand was cold, like snow.
“…”
Paige pursed her lips, staring at him intently, her eyes red.
In the end, master Chris was carried to the beach.
The sand at the beach was white and fine, and the bottom of the rocking chair sank into the sand. The sea stretched as far as the eye could see, and a sunset was slowly setting in the distance, as if it were falling into the bottomless ocean.
The rosy light filled the sea, and it also cast a golden light on the old lady’s thin and frail body.
The breeze blew, and master Chris lay quietly in the rocking chair, gazing at the setting sun in the distance. Her silver hair was blown into her eyes.
Paige and Enrico stood beside her.
“Your paintings are now selling for astronomical prices and are sought after by countless people,” Paige said as she crouched down next to the old lady and looked at her, “The Capital has changed a lot. I have set up my own business, which is called Temple in Heaven. It is under construction and will be magnificent when it is finished. I will take you to see it then. How about picking one of your paintings to hang in my office?”
Master Chris looked at the setting sun. Hearing this, she turned her face to Paige, not losing her temper, but smiling, “Okay.”
