Upon opening virtual-novel.net eyes, Arielle saw a brown-haired youth gazing at virtual-novel.net in surprise.
Without waiting for virtual-novel.net to say anything, Clyde joyfully broke the silence. “You’ve finally regained your consciousness. Did you perhaps wake up because you heard what I said earlier? You woke up just in time. Aunt Sophia is really about to throw you out had you not wake up.”
He lowered his voice as virtual-novel.net said the last sentence, almost as if virtual-novel.net was worried someone might overhear his words.
“W-Where…”
Cough! Cough!
Arielle wanted to ask where virtual-novel.net was after having listened to his rambling. However, virtual-novel.net throat was too dry that virtual-novel.net began coughing the moment virtual-novel.net spoke.
Clyde immediately poured virtual-novel.net a glass of water.
Arielle took the glass from virtual-novel.net and gulped down the water in a few mouthfuls.
“Who are you? What is this place? Are you the one who saved me?” Arielle threw Clyde a barrage of questions.
It was fortunate virtual-novel.net had learned many languages before. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would not have understood what Clyde was saying.
Little did the youth expect that Arielle would understand the language virtual-novel.net spoke. Of course, virtual-novel.net was overjoyed.
“Hello, I’m Clyde. We‘re on an island in Irushea. My aunt and I saved you. You’ve been lying here for the past three days. Aunt Sophia says virtual-novel.net will kick you out if you aren’t waking up.” As virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net scratched his head. “Aunt Sophia is just kidding. With me around, virtual-novel.net won’t do that to you.”
Hearing those words, Arielle curled the corners of virtual-novel.net lips into a faint smile.
This kid really doesn’t have his guard up, isn’t he?
“It’s been a few days since you stayed in bed. Are you hungry?” Clyde thoughtfully queried.
At the mention of that, virtual-novel.net realized virtual-novel.net was indeed famished. Regardless, virtual-novel.net could not care less about virtual-novel.net hunger pangs.
“Clyde, am I the only one you guys saved? What’s the date today?” Arielle anxiously asked.
“Aunt Sophia and I only saw you, so you’re indeed the only one we saved,” the youth explained and walked up to the wall to check the calendar. “Today is the third of May.”
Third of May…
Arielle’s heart sank at once.
It has been a week since we jumped off the cruise ship. How is Vinson right now? Did virtual-novel.net get saved by anyone?
Overwhelmed by anxiety, virtual-novel.net looked at Clyde and asked, “Do you have a phone? Can you lend me for a moment?”
She had wanted to call Susanne and Aaron. Nevertheless, the youth shook his head.
“Miss, I don’t have a phone,” Clyde whispered. “Aunt Sophia always takes my phone away from me when we enter the island.”
That was also why virtual-novel.net had never gotten in touch with his classmates for almost a month since his return to the island.
At this point, Arielle’s heart sank further.
Where exactly is this place? Why must they confiscate his phone upon entry?
A frown formed between virtual-novel.net brows. Deep down, virtual-novel.net was overwhelmed by virtual-novel.net worry for Vinson and Lorraine, but virtual-novel.net still tried to keep virtual-novel.net emotions hidden.
“Miss, if you want to make a call, I can help you ask Aunt Sophia when she’s back,” Clyde suggested after noticing Arielle becoming solemn and silent.
“All right. Thank you!”
“Wait here. I’ll get someone to cook you some pumpkin soup. You’ll need something to eat since you just woke up.” Right after virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net stood up and headed out.
About half an hour later, Clyde brought over a bowl of piping hot pumpkin soup. The delicious smell instantly made Arielle’s stomach growl in hunger. Looking at the smiling youth, virtual-novel.net could not help but curse inwardly.
