Who Is The Real Boss?
Chapter 144 I Can't Protect You Anymore
"Rupert, what's wrong?" Annabel asked worriedly upon seeing Rupert wince in pain. His wound stung.
Rupert took a deep breath and forced a smile.
"Nothing.I'm fine."
"But—"
Annabel wanted to find out what was going on with him, but he abruptly cut her off.
"Don't say anything more.Conserve your energy."
Rupert put his slender finger on her lips and made a gesture of silence.But she couldn't shake off her worry.
"Are you really okay?"
"Yes," Rupert answered briefly.
Then, he pointed at the island in the distance.
"Come on.We're wasting time."
Together, the two swam towards the island rhythmically.
Time seemed to pass by very slowly.
Rupert kept glancing over his shoulder to see if there were any boats in the area.
Unfortunately, it seemed that they were the only two life forms in this area of the sea.
No boats were passing by, perhaps because this area hadn't been developed yet.
Looking at the vast open sea, Rupert fell into deep thought.
His father had gone to sea on a cruise ship, which then encountered a big, fatal wave.
Ultimately, it was the cause of his demise.
Rupert refused to suffer the same fate.He and Annabel would make it out of this alive.
As the two kept paddling, they gradually got closer and closer to the island.
The sun started to rise in the east, illuminating the island in a warm glow.It looked like paradise in Annabel’s eyes.
"We're almost there!"
Rupert kept encouraging her.His magnetic voice seemed to dispel the exhaustion in her body.
"Just hold on for a little longer.When we make it to the island, we'll be able to rest."
Annabel also encouraged herself silently.
Seeing that they were a few meters away from the island, she started to feel hopeful.
Suddenly, a huge wave came at them.
Rupert and Annabel were swept back by the wave.
