When Irene saw how Cameron and Eric were driven out of the company like homeless dogs, she felt very happy and released a sigh of relief.
"Eric and Cameron have been dealt with, but where is Edward?" Irene thought sadly.
...
Meanwhile, on a small island thousands of kilometres away.
This island was far from the mainland, far from the bustling city. Most of the people on this island survived on fishing. The scenery of the island was good, but because of its remote location and other factors, it wasn't recorded on the map.
Therefore, except for the locals who would return occasionally, there weren't a lot of outlanders. As a result, the small island wasn't developed into a tourist location or destroyed by humans. Therefore, it could retain its original ecological beauty.
The islanders lived a simple life and got along well with their neighbours. They slept and woke up with the sun fall and rise, living a comfortable and satisfying life.
The sky was clear, not a cloud in sight. Like a fine piece of glass emerald, it hung above the land. There was a warm ocean breeze that brought with it the scent of the sea. The surface of the ocean was peaceful, and the sun shone on it like a moving picture.
The golden beach was exceptionally quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of waves hitting the rocks.
As usual, Susie brought her dog, Keani, out for a walk.
The breeze blew through her hair playfully, tickling her. As she fiddled with her hair, Keani suddenly ran towards something. The dog had been sniffing around as if it was searching for treasure.
"Keani, where are you going? Don't run so fast! Wait for me!" Susie shouted.
In the blink of an eye, Keani had disappeared from Susie's line of sight. When Susie looked around for it, Keani came out from nowhere and barked before biting her skirt. It seemed like the dog wanted her to follow.
"Keani, be careful. This is my favourite dress. If you rip it, I won't feed you dinner tonight," Susie lectured.
Keani let go of her dress and barked a few times before running ahead. Out of curiosity, Susie followed it.
Keani brought her to the back of a big reef. Edward lay on the beach alone because the reef wasn't frequented. If it weren't for Keani, she didn't know how long the man would've been lying here.
Susie was afraid. This man wasn't a corpse, was he?
Keani walked up to the man and barked at Susie, "Woof woof woof woof!"
Susie gathered her courage and walked over to the man. She was surprised by the man's handsome face and thought, "T-This man! He's hot!"
His face was a little pale from being swept about by the ocean, but he still looked dashing.
His blue and white clothes were stuck to his body, displaying his slender and straight figure. Under his messy short hair was a pair of unruly eyebrows, and his slightly curled eyelashes made him very sexy.
Susie could easily imagine how handsome he would look if he smiled. His nose was tall and his eyes were closed. He looked like a prince from a fairy tale. It seemed like he was waiting for the princess to wake him up.
Susie swore that he was the most handsome man she had ever seen. None of the men on the island could compare.
When she saw that his chest was stained with blood, Susie snapped back to her senses. It seemed like he had been injured. Quickly, she checked if he was still breathing. He was.
It wouldn't be fair if such a good-looking person died.
Susie saw the man's right fist was clenched tightly like he was holding something important. She tried her best to open it, but no matter how much strength she used, she couldn't! She decided to let it be. It would be better to send him to the hospital so his wounds wouldn't worsen.
Susie lifted the man up with some difficulty. Under his tall figure, she looked very small.
"Oof, he's so heavy!" Susie said as she slowly walked towards the hospital.
"Keani, you're amazing! You used to find seashells and conches, but this time you actually found a person for me," Susie complained.
If Irene were here, she would notice that he was Edward, who had fallen into the ocean.
Nobody expected that Edward would drift to this uncharted island. It was far away from S City, so it made sense that they hadn't located him yet.
...
"Doctor, how is he?" Susie asked.
