Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 71

Eileen was oblivious to the fact that Egbert was taking off his shirt to cover her chest.

Nevertheless, she quietly held his clothes and asked, “Can you fish? Or should I do it?”

“No need.” The man took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trouser legs, and stepped into the water.

Eileen was a bit worried, as he seemed quite weak. She frowned and reminded him, “Be careful.”

Egbert glanced at her, saw her hugging his clothes tightly. With a slight smile, he walked into the river.

The water wasn’t deep, and Egbert bent over, his eyes intently focused on the fish swimming in the river. After a while, he suddenly lunged.

Eileen stood on the riverbank, tiptoeing to get a better look..

Seeing that Egbert hadn’t moved, she asked, “Did the fish get away?”

He didn’t reply.

Eileen was about to tell him it was okay, that failure was the mother of success, when suddenly he reached down and scooped a fish out of the water with one hand, throwing it towards her.

Eileen instinctively caught the fish, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

“You’re amazing!” she exclaimed.

Egbert smiled briefly. Then he caught fish after fish with precision. Ten minutes later, he had caught five fish.

Though five fish seemed like a lot, they weren’t particularly heavy. Together, they were just enough for two people.

Eileen did a quick calculation and said, “That’s enough. Let’s go back to the shore.”

Egbert, dripping wet, made his way back to the shore.

Eileen was busy starting a fire. She glanced at Egbert and said, “Why don’t you take a bath while you’re at it? I’ll call you when the fish is ready.”

Egbert paused, looking at her.

Eileen pointed in one direction, saying, “Over there, in the direction we came from. There are some big trees for cover. I checked; it’s safe. And the water is clean. Go take a bath.”

Egbert looked in the direction she pointed and said, “Okay.”

Egbert headed in that direction and started taking off his clothes by the riverbank.
