“How am I supposed to stay calm?” Nathaniel roared.

It was Sebastian’s first time seeing Nathaniel lose control over his emotions. The thought of Christina dead. made him cry as well, but he still had to say, “Mr. Hadley, I’m sure Mrs. Hadley won’t want to see anything happen to you. Moreover, you have Mr. Lucas and Ms. Camila to take care of. What will they do if you’re gone too?”

Camila and Lucas were the last lifebuoys thrown at Nathaniel, and he finally calmed down at the mention. of their names.

When Sebastian saw that Nathaniel had finally stopped struggling, he quickly took the opportunity to drag Nathaniel back to the shore.

However, Nathaniel fell terribly ill after returning. He had a high fever, and his fever ramblings consisted of Christina’s name and nothing else.

It was as if the couple was connected in mind. In her dreams. Christina saw Nathaniel falling sick during his desperate but fruitless search for her.

No matter how loudly she cried out for him, he would not wake.

Christina woke up with a start, cold sweat coating her back and forehead.
