Chapter 227 Finally Realizing What He Has Lost
What language was this? She had mastered seventeen languages since childhood, but she couldn’t make sense of this one.
Were there people on this island?
What a miracle! After searching for so long, she hadn’t found any sign of life–until now.
However, the rescue she imagined didn’t seem quite right.
Why were they grabbing her limbs and carrying her like livestock?
She was being jostled so much along the way that it felt like her joints were about to dislocate.
A picture she had seen once popped into Seraphina’s mind–of a plump sheep being carried into a kitchen.
Maybe she wasn’t miserable enough yet.
She swore that if Orion had sent these people, she would thank him properly.
If the Crosses were there, she would tell Sivir how rude and unprofessional they were–no patience.
If they were rescuers from a different source, she’d just have to endure it.
After what felt like an eternity, they still hadn’t arrived. The constant jolting finally pushed her consciousness into darkness.
A thousand nautical miles away.
Two helicopters met. Ken had to persuade Justin to come over, thinking that coordinating their efforts would make the rescue mission more successful and swift.
Orion was already on the brink of madness and obsession.
If this continued, he might collapse.

Orion was someone who, in the eyes of the Crosses, had hurt Seraphina in an unforgivable way.
Now, he had pushed her to the brink of destruction.
He couldn’t forgive himself—how could Justin?
Justin snorted coldly. His eyes shifted from anger to a chilling calm.
He, too, was suppressing a massive storm of emotions.
“My dad said you’ve done enough. You don’t owe us anything. You don’t have to die for this. Orion, you should go back. I’ll find my sister myself.”
With the accompanying wind, the air around them grew colder, plummeting.
Orion’s dark eyes suddenly fixed on him. His expression was icy, and his voice was hoarse.
“I’m not doing this for your family, Justin. I’m doing it for Seraphina.”
