“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.

As she wiped away the sweat on her forehead, she glanced at the curtainless windows, only to realize that the sun was up.

Now, she was staying at Vito’s house. As there was only one room in the clinic, it was usually reserved for patients.

After resting a few days on the island, Christina had recovered much. She had regained most of her strength too, but her leg was still injured, so she could not walk for long.

Vito made a walking cane for Christina so that she could walk around without any help for short distances.

Miriam was nice to Christina too. She gave Christina some of the clothes she wore when she was younger to change into.

When Christina opened the door of the clinic, she was greeted by the scent of salty sea breeze and the sound of chirping birds.

It was already late fall, but the cold was gentle on the island.

“Christina, you’re awake?” When Miriam, who was fixing the fishing net in the courtyard, saw Christina coming out of the building, she hurried to bring the oatmeal out of the kitchen.
