For some God- knows- why reason, Yesseca actually indulged in touching it.
At this moment, a hoarse voice came. "You dimwit, feeling me up, huh."
Yesseca's hand quickly flinched away, and her face immediately flared up.
Hold up!
A bolt of white light struck across Yesseca's mind.
Tremaine was awake!
She immediately looked at Tremaine. Indeed, the man's eyes were open at this moment, and he was staring at her with a deep, bottomless gaze.
Yesseca was about to cry tears of joy.
She had waited so long, and Tremaine had finally woken up!
She'd almost thought that Tremaine would never wake up again!
Choked with sobs, Yesseca mumbled, "Tremaine, you're finally awake."
Tremaine scanned his surroundings and found that this was a completely unfamiliar place.
"Where is this place?" he asked.
As he spoke, he noticed that his throat was on fire; he sounded exceptionally hoarse.
"This is a fishing village. We were saved by an old couple. We fell into the sea..." Yesseca explained everything to him.
There was a ripple in Tremaine's black pupils.
"We made it out alive," he strained to say.
He thought, what were the chances? If there was no one there, he and Yesseca would have been swallowed by the boundless sea, turning into marine fossils.
Emotionally charged, Yesseca said, "We did make it out alive. You were in a coma for some time because you were shot, but you're okay now."
Tremaine frowned slightly.
"Is it possible to contact the outside world here?" he asked.
Yesseca nodded. "We don't know where this place is. There's no signal at all. The fishermen only make a living by fishing. There’s only one way to the city and they have to take a car, but there's only one car that leads to this fishing village and the city. It's sent once a week. We have to wait for a few more days."
Tremaine frowned even harder.
"Are you sure that there is no way to contact the outside world now?" he asked again.
Yesseca nodded and said firmly, "I'm sure. Otherwise, I would have sent you to the hospital long ago."
Tremaine didn't speak.
His deep black eyes were full of emotions as if he was thinking about something.
After a moment, he said, "Did I take any meds? Show me."
Yesseca immediately took out the large bag of medicine and said, "At that time, the old man invited a local doctor to treat you. The gunshot wound was not fatal. He removed the bullet..."
Before Yesseca could finish her words, Tremaine interrupted her, "Did I take the anti-inflammatory and antibiotics after the operation?"
Yesseca was stunned for a moment before astonishment appeared in her eyes.
Tremaine was so smart!
He was aware of this.
Yesseca nodded. "Yes, the doctor instructed the couple to give you antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs. But the old man doesn't know how to read and made a mistake. They gave you the blood-regulating medicine first."
Tremaine said nothing.
Yesseca was afraid that Tremaine would be angry, so she quickly spoke on their behalf, "That was just an oversight on their part. Besides, if it weren't for them, we would have died long ago."
Tremaine did not want to talk to Yesseca about this.
He said to Yesseca, "Yesseca, listen clearly what I have to say."
Yesseca held her breath.
Tremaine's words gave her the heebie-jeebies.
