Crash-landed On An Island With Nine Beauties novel Chapter 117

"How are you feeling, Laurette? Say something."

Ayisha was standing over Laurette. The rest of the girls were scattered around Laurette's room. Laurette was lying on a foam board.

Mira was seated with legs stretched, Laurette's head on her laps. She couldn't take her eyes of her sister's. Her face was pale, eyes heavy from tears. Some corners of her face had swollen into soft mounds.

She looked like she couldn't do anything else. She stared blankly. Meaning that if she wanted to act or speak, she just couldn't find the will to do it.

"She's getting worse. At first, she could respond, but not now... she can't even open her mouth anym---"

"Jada!"

Claire snapped.

"What?!!"

Jada didn't seem ready to own up to the fault.

"If you can't help, at least shut that hole of yours which you call mouth! Can't you see? Are you blind or dumb?"

"Claire, we don't have time for this. Let's leave the devil out of it and worry only about the sick."

Lisa schooled Claire who looked back at Laurette. She seemed to agree with what Lisa had just said.

"We can't keep looking at her, else things would worsen. We should think of a way to save her. Things might get worst if we just stand by and watch without acting."

"What do you propose we do then? We can't just walk into the woods and pluck roots or leaves. We don't know what any of them work for. Plus Damien already warned us to be sure of something before using it."

"Damien this... Damien that... can't you use your own head? Must you always give reference to him? I'm sure that if he was somewhere out there watching this, he would be so glad to see that his spell is really working on y'all."

There was a long pause after that argument. But the girls knew that they couldn't hold unto that for long. Else, they would be fiddling with the life of someone very indispensable.

"Do you think it's because of the Cannibal?"

"What do you mean because of the Cannibal?"

"I mean... Could it because she sucked his dick. We all know that these beasts have had no bath all their lives until recently we found them at the waterfall. You want to imagine the amount of infection and diseases having a contact with them would cause."

"That's right. Evelyn has a point. That could be the case. Why didn't I think of it?"

"How can that be true though? But why should I speak, if I do... it would be Jada this, Jada that..."

"Speak if you want to. Stop farming attention."

Jada rolled her eyes at Claire.

"It's obvious isn't it?! If someone should be affected, shouldn't it be Ayisha?! Ayisha was the last person who had such contact with the Cannibal."

"That might be right. But what if it takes time for the infection or disease to kick in. Just like Covid and several other novel diseases and viruses."

"Ew... don't talk about Corona here. Ruined my 2020."

"It also helped us have the highest YouTube subscribers. Many were indoors. We were able to kick in that proud T-series in --- bagging about 4 billion subscribers."

"T-series could never break the fraction... aren't they about 220 mil subs?"

"Didn't Allison have a case? Turns out to be a false alarm."

Jada chuckled.

"I was so fucking scared. Cos the night before she started coughing uncontrollably, we shared the bed. We even ate from the same plate. I was dead scared that I couldn't --"

"Really, Jada... Really!!!!"

Claire raised her voice and the noise quiet down. She continued.

"Are we really talking about this when one of us is at the verge of death? Is that it?"

"My sister is not going to die, watch your words."

Mira who had been quiet all along snapped at Claire who gave no hard feelings.

"I have a suggestion."

Ayisha came on.

"She always does."

Jada muttered, but the rest of the girls already heard her, though they didn't give a damn. They were acquainted with what stuff she was made of.

"Let's divide ourselves into three groups."

"Three?"

Lisa interrupted, but Ayisha wasn't ready to answer the question. Instead she continued as though she didn't hear someone speak.

"Three in two groups, two in the last one."

Another pause like she was expecting another interruption.
