Chapter 736
Christina leaned against the porthole and looked at the group of happy friends on the deck. They looked a real mess and were more like refugees rather than playboys.
Perhaps because she had slept too long, Christina couldn’t figure out where she was for a moment.
One thing for sure, she was on an ocean liner. She had come here by plane, so she felt very strange to this boat. But the acquaintances on deck reassured her.
Christina pinched herself to prove that it wasn’t all a dream.
What happened on the island seemed light-years away. She felt like waking from a deep sleep and could not tell if those experiences were real or if they were just her imagination.
But if it was just a dream, how come Samba, the White Tiger, and Raphael were also here on the deck?
Feeling that the sea breeze was a little strong, she wanted to find a coat, but after the adventure on the island, there were no presentable clothes left. Patrick and the others were still dressed in rags. Christina wrapped herself in the sheet because she didn’t want to get sick.
Then she found that there was something under her pillow.
It was enveloped tightly in a special black cloth. Christina curiously unfolded it and was surprised to see the Ruby Scepter, a length of the Scepter on the island.
“Christina, are you finally awake?”
“You had slept a long time. We were afraid that you would be like Alisa and wouldn’t wake up.”
As soon as Christina went up on deck, the guys surged forward and quipped. Christina burst out laughter when seeing those shabby, tanned big boys with bright eyes.
“What are you laughing at? Are you stupid with sleep?”
Charles waved his hand to her face as if he was really worried that she hadn’t regained consciousness.
Gary and Alan were reminded of her awesome bearing on the island and fear began to possess their souls too.
“Charles, let me punch you. Why am I suddenly on a boat? Am I dreaming?” Christina roll up her sleeves and was about to hit Charles.
“Don’t! I cherish my life now.” Charles ran away.
Gary and Alan were afraid of being implicated and immediately escaped too.
Crystal was chilled by the strong sea wind on the deck and wanted to find some warm clothes in the cabin when she saw Christina coming out wrapped in a white sheet. Crystal rushed towards her best friend with great joy
“Christina!”
The shout got the attention of the people around.
The White Tiger that Christina had saved was the fastest to spring at her. Behind it, the bulky Barbarian, Samba was running excitedly with loud bumps, Christina was shocked. If she hadn’t known them, she would have been frightened by the scene,
“Human Cub!” Samba would like to lift Christina off ground or hoist her onto his shoulders, but he realized that it wouldn’t be safe and stayed where he was, jumping to his feet excitedly
Samba was rumbustious. White Tiger next to him was jumping up enthusiastically and trying to throw itself at her.
Both of them gave Christina a headache.
“Okay, okay. Let her go.” Crystal watched from the side and did not dare to approach. How could Christina sustain the weight of them?
Christina had just got a firm foothold when someone behind her put out his hand to steady her. She looked at Patrick
Patrick stared at her for a while but said nothing. Samba, on the other hand, seemed to have a lot to tell Christina and muttered in the Aboriginal Language for a long time that she had slept for such a long time that he was worried that she would not wake up.
“How long did I sleep?”
“Half a month,” Patrick replied.
Samba nodded heavily.
Samba took her hand and wanted to carry on talking, but Patrick stopped him.
Patrick knew that the Samba was kind but might hurt Christina accidentally. “Bring some food here.”
Now Samba and Patrick were getting along very well. Samba was good-tempered and obedient, which gave Patrick the illusion that he was an oversized pet.
Samba and the White Tiger thrust their way into the crowd to get coconuts and roast meat.
Christina exclaimed in wonder, “Why did they listen to you?” They had become so tame.
Crystal chuckled. While Christina was sleeping, Samba and White Tiger had stayed by her side, during which Patrick had won their admiration. It was probably because of the law of the jungle that victory went to the
strong
“You’ve been sleeping for so long. Are you experiencing any discomfort?”
Christina shook her head. “No.”
“Why are we on a boat? Where are we going?”
Patrick said in a low voice, “Home.”
Christina froze for an instant.
Home… She had been longing to return home for so long and when she woke up, she was on her way back! She could scarcely believe it!
Seeing her dumbfounded look, Crystal smiled. “What, do you want to stay on the island?”
“Actually, it wasn’t that bad,” Christina answered earnestly. But of course, it was better to go back.
Pointing at Samba and White Tiger, she was a little confused. “That being the case, why are they with us?”
Crystal smiled and did not say much, but looked at Patrick.
Christina also looked at him. Under her curious gaze, Patrick thought for a moment then put it simply, “Samba was not reassured, so he left with us.”
In fact, Samba had refused to let Patrick take Christina away.
Samba had been afraid that these outsiders would harm Christina while she was unconscious. So he did everything he could to prevent others from detaching her from himself. They almost came to handgrips.
Although Samba had an absolute advantage in fighting, Patrick had got more helpers and strength lay in numbers. Samba had to capitulate at last.
Crystal sighed. “He did not think about the future. He will never go back to the island.” After all, Samba was too simple-minded.
“Why can’t he go back?”
“Alisa said that they don’t want to be disturbed again.”
Fortunately, Samba had nothing to worry about. The Barbarians would look after their old Matriarch. Alisa and Nagar were also on the island. Therefore, the Barbarians would soon be able to rebuild their homes.
“As for White Tiger, no one knows what it was thinking. It was just happy to follow us.”
Hearing Crystal’s words, Christina couldn’t help but laugh.
Samba and White Tiger fetched many coconuts and roast meat. Christina looked at the familiar food and smiled. “You’ve brought a lot of local specialties.”
Christina felt it was really a pity that she didn’t bring the bags of gold she had earned by selling roast meat with Samba
Patrick used some special tools in the kitchen and easily opened a coconut. Christina took a few sips of coconut water. Samba and White Tiger were curious about these modern tools, so they leaned over to Patrick, asking him to open a few more
“Where are they going to live?”
While breaking open the coconuts, Patrick looked up and said calmly, “They can live with us.”
Christina was surprised at how benevolent he was now.
“If they make trouble, I can always find a way to send them back.” Patrick meant that it was not difficult to get onto the island again.
Hence, there were two more family members in the Hopkins family.
