Violet almost cried with joy as she looked at the tall man who bowed his head into the cave.
"Mr. Johnson, it's really you!"
Louis' clothes were all drenched.
His hair was also wet and stuck on his scalp.
He looked Violet up and down, and was relieved to see her intact.
"Violet, are you okay?"
"I'm good."
Violet suppressed her joy, "Your clothes are wet. Go inside and warm yourself."
Louis came in, took off his jacket and put it aside to dry.
Violet turned her head in a hurry, embarrassed to see him take off his clothes.
On the cavern wall, the firelight shone out the man's silhouette.
His swaying shadow made her have a sense of security.
Violet beamed, and slowly calmed down.
"Mr. Johnson, isn't it raining outside? How did you get here?"
"It was David who called me and said you were stuck on the island."
Louis moved closer to the fire and looked at the woman whose back was turned to her.
He had found her, and could finally feel relieved.
She was smart enough to find a cavern to take shelter from the rain.
Unexpectedly, she was not as weak as he thought.
So it was David who told Louis!
Violet felt profound gratitude for David.
"Mr. Johnson, really thank you for coming to me."
Louis watched her slim back, and looked pleased.
"Are you sure you want to keep talking with your back to me?"
She was shy?
But he was still wearing a tank top, okay?
Not to mention, it wasn't like she hadn't seen him bare-chested before.
Violet froze, looked at the shadow on the wall, and slowly turned around.
Indeed, it wasn't polite for her to keep talking with her back to someone.
