Chapter 143
Chapter 143
''The Xenos has never been a generous family, and their ruthlessness is even worse than you can ever imagine. No one can break their rules, regardless of who works with them. It's ridiculous to have them activate the global GPS positioning system since it costs a lot of money.''
James paused before saying in resignation, ''If I call Kevin, he would undoubtedly decline my call, so if Ms. Felix, you…''
He was aware of the mere scandal involving Shawn and me. But, no, it was not a scandal. It was just him carrying me out of the church and showing up at the police station to take me home.
To this day, James had no idea that Shawn and I were dating. He would have asked me if he knew.
Then, I took out my phone and gave Kevin a call. As soon as he picked up the phone, he asked, chuckling, ''What's the matter, Ray?'' From NôvelDrama.Org.
The sea breeze was blowing hard at the time, forcing the three of us to hide inside the cruise ship. I implored Kevin, ''Can you kindly activate Emma's GPS?''
He interrupted me instantly after hearing my words and declined firmly, ''I'm sorry. I can't do that.''
I begged him, ''Kev…''
Kevin was put on the spot, so he explained, ''Ray, I know what you are going to say, but Sunny is in charge of the global GPS positioning. I lack the necessary authority. You can only call him for help.''
I had no choice but to agree, and just as I was about to hang up the phone, He asked me casually, ''Ray, are you willing to let Sunny use his resources to save your ex-husband and ex-lover?''
When I heard those words, I clenched my phone tightly and instantly turned pale. Kevin had already hung up the phone, and I looked at James dazedly. He reminded me, ''Ms. Felix, their lives are in danger. You have to make up your mind.''
If Shawn had known it was to rescue the two Forgers brothers…
How can I bear the thought of hurting Shawn?!
But their lives are important right now!
Just as I was about to say something, James took the phone from my grasp and dialed Shawn's number before handing it back to me.
I shook my head instinctively as Olivia urged me, ''Ray, only you can save my brothers.''
Shawn answered the call, and I heard his calm voice on the other end of the line, ''What's the matter, Ray?''
''Sunny,'' I said hesitantly.
However, I didn't have the guts to say it aloud.
''Well, have you been missing me?''
Shawn's voice was low and deep. Although the wind was howling on the cruise, everyone heard his words and looked at me in disbelief.
It was also unusual for Shawn to say this in such a gentle and soft tone, so I shouldn't hurt his feelings.
I shouldn't have taken him for granted, but the guys' lives were at stake, and I had no choice but to seek Shawn's help.
''I missed you, Sunny,'' I hummed in response.
He reassured me by saying, ''I'll be home the day after tomorrow.''
''Sunny…''
''Hmm?''
''Can you enable Emma's GPS positioning?''
''Sure,'' Shawn responded unequivocally.
My eyes reddened as I replied, ''Thank you, Sunny.''
''No worries.''
Shawn activated Emma's GPS positioning system without asking me any questions. It took a few minutes to locate her as she was around three kilometers away.
As we were on our way to look for Emma, James looked amazed and teased me, ''It appears that your relationship with Mr. Xenos is quite amazing, Ms. Felix.''
I gave him the side look, to which he responded by smiling before saying, ''I hadn't met Shawn in a long time, and he seemed distant and aloof. I've never seen any other lady beside him, so you must be the lucky one, Ms. Felix.''
''Can you shut up?'' I asked melancholy.
I was feeling very down at that time.
Shawn was unaware that I was saving the Forgers Brothers. I was debating whether or not to tell him the truth…
But he will find out eventually, right?!
And that question Kevin posed to me.
I had no idea why he was here.
I didn't even know how Nicholas, Christopher, and Emma fell into the sea…
It seemed like someone appeared to be deliberately targeting the Forgers brothers.
……
…
After ten minutes, we arrived at the island indicated by the GPS. We then docked the yacht near the beach and walked over to the freezing waves to the shore. We had hunted around the island for a while before locating the three of them.
Emma was lying on the beach with a carefree look while Nicholas and Christopher sat silently on the sand.
I dashed over and asked in worry, ''Are you all alright?''
Although ocean water soaked the three of them, the fall wounded none of them. Moreover, Christopher's coat was slung across Emma's torso.
She dropped the coat and ran to hug James when she saw us. He immediately wrapped his arms around her and asked, ''Are you cold?''
''It's freezing,'' Emma replied and nodded after that.
James was about to remove his coat when he realized that he had already given it to Olivia. Therefore, he had no choice but to remove his shirt.
He embraced Emma while Olivia rushed over to hug Christopher.
However, Christopher appeared unconcerned. He simply patted her on the shoulder and said, ''I'm fine.''
''I'm very worried about you, Chris.''
Olivia's forlorn expression instantly brightened, and she sobbed softly in his arms.
Her concern was understandable. After all, she had been in love with him for decades.
''I'm alright, Olivia,'' Christopher said casually.
When Nicholas saw her expression, he gave her a disdainful sneer. ''I know you like Christopher, but you're not taking me seriously, Olivia. Am I non-existent to you?
When Christopher heard that, he pushed her away with some repulsion and then fixed his gaze on Emma.
Meanwhile, Emma, who was in James' arms, looked gloomy.
Olivia didn't mind that Christopher pushed her away. Instead, she coaxed Nicholas by holding his arm. ''I'm also worried about you, Nick. Renee… Ms. Felix is also concerned about you, and she…''
Olivia paused and took two deep breaths.
I exhaled and heard Nicholas murmur something incomprehensible, ''Is she concerned? She is, nevertheless, crueler than anyone else…''
I was speechless upon hearing that.
I chose to ignore him. By the time we returned to the shore, everyone else had departed, leaving only
the rescue team and the cops.
As we were about to part ways, I called Christopher. He looked at me gently and asked, ''Yes?''
I hesitated for a moment before asking, ''Can we talk?''
I had doubts about them falling into the sea.
I didn't dare to be alone with Nicholas now that he had a dissociative identity disorder. Since Emma had fallen asleep in James' arms on the way back and he was ready to bring her home, this was the ideal time to speak to Christopher.
He nodded and said, ''Okay.''
Christopher didn't bother or argue; he simply walked in quick steps. ''Wait for me here,'' he tilted his head as he whispered to Olivia.
Christopher and I didn't walk very far. Then, finally, I stood beside my car and asked him suspiciously, ''Why did you fall into the sea?''
He explained frankly, ''At that time, when Nick and I were talking near the cruise ship, a few waiters suddenly showed up and shoved us into the sea. Then, Emma appeared out of nowhere and leaped into the waves. As we couldn't keep up with the cruise ship.''
A few waiters?!
It seemed like someone had obviously been plotting this for a long time, and deliberately planned to
make Nicholas and Christopher appear together on one occasion. However, who dared to attack them?
''Also, I heard someone calling Mr. York before I fell into the sea.''
Mr. York?
Could it possibly be Kevin?!
