Chapter 314
She said, “What nonsense are you talking about! If both of us were in the water, the others would definitely be goners, sinking straight to the bottom. You really think the two of us could hold on long enough for someone to come and save us?“
Gavin gently wiped away her tears. “Don’t you believe in the power of love? If it really came down to that, I’d do whatever it takes to make sure you varvive. The potential that bursts forth when someone is pushed to the edge is limitless.”
Madeline looked seriously into his eyes.
That night, she had a nightmare.
In her dream, she was being chased by a tiger. Gavin came to her rescue, pulling her up into a tree and even fighting the tiger with his bare hand find food for her.
As he fought, he said to her, “Maddie, the power of love is limitless,”
Madeline woke up suddenly, drenched in sweat. Instinctively, she reached out to the side of the bed, only to realize that Gavin had alrearly gone back to his room after she’d fallen asleep.
Her mouth was dry, so she grabbed a bottle of water and took a drink, feeling pretty
frustrated.
She thought she really needed to have some fun during the day to avoid feeling so down at night,
In his room, Gavin held a notebook and continued reading. He murmured, “A hundred things to do with your girlfriend. We’ve traveled together and watched a sad movie together. Next up is wearing matching outfits and taking photos together. “
He carefully planned the remaining things he wanted to do with Madeline.
They’d already completed thirty to forty items, like cooking for Madeline, buying her a drink for the first time, taking care of her during her period, and enjoying late–night outings together.
With just eleven or twelve more to go, they’d be halfway through the list
Gavin was full of confidence. “Tomorrow, we might as well knock out seeing small animals together‘ and wearing matching outfits. After all, there should be sharks here to see.”
As he put down his pen, he paused for a moment. “Small animals… but sharks are large animals, right?”
He clicked his tongue, quietly opened the notebook again, and changed “small” animals to “large” animals,
At 8 am, there was a knock on the door.
Madeline rolled over, intending to keep sleeping when her phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was an

“Hello!” she said.
“Maddie, time to get up”
Madeline recognized Jimmy’s voice, quickly opened the door, and saw him looking incredibly sharp in a black jacket–sight for sore eyes.
She said. “Here I am, still in my pajamas, and you’re already all decked out like you’re on some military mission. Did you not sleep at all!”
“I’m used to only sleeping three hours a day, so I went to bed at 5 am, and now it’s a little after 8. Jimmy raised his wrist and tapped his wristwatch “Tll give you ten minutes.”
“But… I need to put on sunscreen!” Madeline protested helplessly.
“The car’s already waiting g downstairs. If you don’t hurry, you’ll miss the boat With that, Jimny went back to his room to change.
Madeline muttered, “Jeex, what kind of insane schedule is that? Sleeping only three hours a day–how does he not just drop dead?”
She couldn’t wrap her head around what kind of job could lead to such a terrifying routine.
Not during to waste time, Madeline quickly changed clothes, freshened up, and hurriedly sprayed some sunscreen in front of the mirror before slipping on her beach sandals and heading out the door,
