"What?"
The police officer and Aurelia were stunned.
"Uncle, no—"
"Shut up!" Neil yelled at Aurelia.
Aurelia's heart dropped, and she felt aggrieved and an abrupt pinch in her nose.
"This is the open sea, right?"
"Yes…" The police officer frowned. "It is."
"You're responsible for sending this person out of the border, right?"
"Yes."
"As long as she's out of Chaiseland, you're not intervening in where she's going?"
Each of Neil's sentences was correct, so the police officer could only nod.
Neil took a step forward and wrapped an arm around Aurelia's shoulder.
As the petite girl was embraced, she could not help the reddening of her eyes as Neil's arm felt like a warm and safe haven.
"She's my fiancee! She should leave with me!"
…
Aurelia sat by the window. It was still the endless sea under her, and she still felt dizzy. What was different was that she had been in a boat an hour earlier and was currently in a helicopter an hour later.
