Female Novel
Chapter 2019
Willow left her room to check on the injured team members. She found that quite a few of them sportedbumps and bruises. One of them even had a dislocated shoulder and was busy looking for someonewho could put it back for him!
“Can you find someone who can help me, Miss Presgrave? I’m in so much pain right now.”
“Of course! I’ll get someone right away.”
“A professional, please!” The man was covered in sweat.
Soon, Willow brought Jasper over and pointed at the injured team member. “Can you help him?”
Jasper nodded. “Yeah!”
“Hey man, go easy on me, okay? I don’t do too well with pain,” the man pleaded.
Jasper walked over to him and asked, “How should I go easy on you?”
“Well… Maybe you could use a gentler method like—Argh!” Before the man knew what was happening,his bone popped back in place. He screamed by instinct at first, but he immediately began to move hisarm around. “Whoa! It doesn’t hurt anymore! You fixed it.”
He finally realized that Jasper had simply distracted him with the question before fixing his shoulder injust two seconds. “You’re amazing, Mr. Wyatt,” the team member said gratefully. “Where did you learnhow to do this?”
“No formal training necessary. You’ll become rather good at doing it too if you’ve done it enough times,”Jasper replied.
The women on the team were all taken with how cool he was, but after hearing his response, theybegan to stare in shock. What kind of work does Mr. Wyatt do? What would involve dislocating yourshoulders so often?novelbin
Willow chuckled. She found that despite being rather stern most of the time, Jasper did have a funnybone hidden in there somewhere!
“Okay. Let’s all go back to our rooms and rest!” Willow said before taking Jasper’s hand and leavingwith him.
The women exchanged looks. Was the handsome special representative Willow’s boyfriend? Why elsewould they share a room and be this intimate in public?
Although the women on the team admired Jasper, they knew better than to try and steal him away fromWillow.
When Willow and Jasper stood together, they looked like the leading characters of their own fairytale.They looked good together.
Willow went to the ship’s bridge to get an update. They would be arriving at their first destination inthree hours at most, but as the island was populated by indigenous people, everyone had to be on highalert to avoid getting attacked.
That being said, the bodyguards that Willow brought along with her gave everyone an added sense ofsecurity.
After three more hours on the ship, they finally arrived at the first island. Only a dozen or so indigenousfamilies were living on this island. Although they were technically under the administration of a smallnation nearby, they were so far out on the ocean that they were basically living freely on their own.
Thankfully, the team had gotten the help of a local guide in advance, so they were able to settle downfairly quickly.
Even so, they had to be on their guard against the locals as they had brought a ton of supplies withthem. Willow was given a fairly acceptable cottage on the beach. Jasper stayed close to her at alltimes. Willow was interested in seeing how the locals lived.
A group of barefooted children came running over to scrutinize Willow. She went back to her room andbrought out some snacks to share with them. Soon, it seemed that they were getting along quite well.
Night came and Willow was dead tired. Although it was June, the diurnal temperature variation in thisregion was pretty significant. Willow sat on a chair by the ocean, leaned against Jasper’s arm, andslowly dozed off. She was already sound asleep by the time Jasper noticed. His lips curved up ever soslightly. She’s really like a kid sometimes.
He carried her back to bed and tucked her in before lying down on the couch nearby. Although it wasquite hard for him to fit all six feet and a couple more inches of him onto that tiny couch, he didn’t get inthe bed with her.
As the night wore on, everything outside the window was pitch black. There wasn’t any street lightinghere and the locals wouldn’t waste their resources by keeping the lights on. Soon, it felt as if they wereliving in nature.
