Who Is The Real Boss?

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Upon hearing what Rupert said, Annabel became anxious.

Rupert looked in the direction of the island.

Although they had gotten considerably closer to the island, there was still a huge gap between them and land.

At present, he was so weak that he couldn't even swim.He would only be a burden on Annabel.He didn't want to drag her down, especially when she still had the chance to live.

Frowning tightly, Rupert struggled to untie his life vest from hers.

"Annabel, I'm a little tired.I want to rest.Swim to the island first.I'll catch up to you later."

Of course, Annabel knew what he was planning.

She grabbed his hand and shouted, "No! We'll swim there together!"

"I'll only drag you down..."

Despite saying so, he couldn't help but look at Annabel gratefully.He was happy to know that the woman he loved refused to leave him.

Even though he was about to die at sea, he had no regrets.

Taking a deep breath, Annabel continued, "I don't mind.Since I've already given you my answer, I won't leave you.This time, it's my turn to protect you! In sickness and in health, remember? We'll be together forever—'til death do us part!"

Fierce determination lit up Annabel's eyes.

After all, Rupert wouldn't have gotten injured if it weren't for her.He had saved her life time and time again.

How could she leave him to die at a moment as critical as this? Holding Rupert's hand with one hand, Annabel gritted her teeth and tried her best to swim with the other.

"Rupert, just hold onto me!"

Minutes felt like years.

Finally, they closed the gap between them and the island.

The island grew bigger and bigger in her point of view.

Panting heavily, Annabel turned to look at Rupert.

"Rupert, we're almost there.Hold on!"
