Chapter 688 I Have News
Marbella Village.
The chilly ocean breeze drifted through the window into a run-down fishing boat and woke the man whowas in a deep sleep.
Luke abruptly sat up, the sound of waves washing onto the shore echoing in his ears.
He was startled, his eyes quickly scanned through the room. He realized that he was in a fishing boat.
The room was old but it was neat and clean. He was lying on a queen-sized wooden bed with a thinquilt covering his body.
Luke thought of getting out of bed but when he tried, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and left arm.
Luke frowned and found that there were layers of bandages wrapped around his chest and arm. Thebandages smelled like blood and medicine.
He remembered that he was badly injured. The moment the plane exploded, he, Gale, and Rain hadjumped out of the cabin and into the sea.
'Where did the two of them go? Who on earth saved me and bandaged my wounds?’
Just as he was about to get out of bed and check his surroundings, he heard two sets of footstepswalking toward him.
Luke hurriedly closed his eyes and lay down on the bed. He opened his eyes just a little to observe hissurroundings.
A pair of soft, tiny hands touched his forehead.
Then, a kiddish voice said in English, "Strange, why is he still not awake?
Dad said that he should be awake now..." "Maybe he's too tired and wants to sleep a little longer.Maybe he likes to laze in bed like Bobby, hehe..." The other voice sounded gender-neutral and kiddishas well. The kid sounded like he or she was four to five years old.
Luke opened his eyes and then sat up on the bed.
He saw a little girl about four or five years old standing in front of his bed. She was dressed in colorfulnative attire. She had rosy cheeks and exotic eye color. The girl had a tanned but delicate face.
She stared at him in amazement.
The other kid was a five-year-old boy. Luke thought that he was not much older than Lanie and Rainie.His round face was highlighted by his blue pupils. He had a head full of blonde curly hair and wore ared vest as well as blue shorts. He looked adorable.
"Who are you?” When Luke saw the two innocent children in front of him, his attitude turned fromhostile to gentle.
The girl smiled sweetly at Luke and said in a loud, clear voice, "Hello, you're awake! My name is Nova.This is my brother, Bobby. You were rescued from the ocean by my dad and grandma. When they sawyou, you were badly injured. Fortunately, my dad is a travel doctor. After he brought you back, hetreated you. He and grandma are fishing now, so they're not at home. They’ll come back at night butthey told me and Bobby to take good care of you before they left. Sir, are you hungry? I can cook yousomething." "Sir, you’re handsome. Are you a fairy who fell from the sky?" Little Bobby snuggled overto Luke's bed and stared at Luke with his big, clear blue eyes. He looked fond of Luke.
"Thank you. I'm not a fairy. I was in an accident and ended up here." Luke touched Bobby's head andlooked at the cute child in front of him who reminded him of his twins at home.novelbin
"Oh, so that's how it is... Where's your house? I like you, you're so goodlooking. You’re the mosthandsome man in our village..." Bobby bit his finger with his tiny mouth as he looked at Luke with a sillysmile on his face.
Luke smiled and rubbed his head while thinking to himself, 'What a cute kid.
He thought of his companions and asked Nova, "Nova, where are we? How long have I been asleep?Did your parents see anyone else when they rescued me?"
Nova shook her head and raised two slender fingers at Luke. "This is Marbella Village. Our village isisolated from the rest of the world. For generations, we’ve been fishermen. My dad came back with youand there was no one else. At that time, you were covered in blood. Bobby and I were terrified. Sir,after my dad treated you, you slept for two days..."
Two days?!
Luke froze. He knew how wide Robert's influence was. Although his minions had not found this place, itwas just a matter of time considering their terrifying tracking skills.
He could not bear to put this kind and innocent family in harm's way. He had to figure out how to get outof here as soon as possible.
Moscow, airport.
Gordan was there to pick Bianca up.
He was handsome as ever and accompanied by a short and chubby girl. Her hair was tied into a bun,making her look like a teddy bear from a distance.
She followed behind Gordan cautiously. Her head was lowered and she looked meek.
"Bianca, Selena, welcome to Moscow," Gordan greeted Bianca and Selena. He knew that Selena wasfluent in multiple languages, so he was not surprised that she came along.
When Gordan saw Tommy, he was so excited that he ran over to hug him." Tommy is here too! CanUncle Gordan hug you?"
Every time Gordan visited Bianca and Tommy, he always gave Tommy all kinds of fun toys. He had hisway with kids, so Tommy did not treat Gordan as a stranger and even loved spending time with him.
Tommy stretched out his chubby little arms happily and reached out to Gordan. "Uncle Gordan, Tommymisses you..." '...and the toys you bring me.’
Tommy was cheeky and kept the second half of the sentence to himself.
Gordan took Tommy from Bianca and kissed his tender cheek. "You're a cheeky little one. I miss youtoo...” "Gordan, this is?" Bianca's curious gaze fell on the shy girl behind him.
Gordan's face sank as he introduced the girl behind him, ’’Her name is Vivian and her nickname isFaceless. She’s my wife in Moscow. Faceless, this is my sister-in-law, Bianca. This is her cousin,Selena." "Faceless?" Selena processed the nickname. She was curious about Vivian.
"I'm ugly, so this is the nickname he gave me. I love it."
Vivian finally raised her head and smiled shyly at Bianca and Selena." Bianca, Selena, hello! Is thisyour first time in Moscow? Where... Wherever you want to go, I... I can be your guide..."
Bianca and Selena's eyes widened when they saw Vivian's face.
There was a quote that went, 'Taking a second look is cruel to those who are ugly.'
Fortunately, Gordan broke the silence and said, Bianca, I have news about Luke. Let's head back anddiscuss it in detail."
Bianca nodded and kept quiet. She wanted to learn more about the situation as soon as possible, soshe went back with Gordan and the others.
