Chapter 337 A Close Encounter
Tatiana understood. “What do you want me to do?”
“To ensure safety, the ship needs a doctor. I think you are the most suitable candidate.”
She nodded. “Okay, I agree. When do we leave?”
“In three days.”
“Then I’ll get ready.”
With that, she was about to turn and go.

The chieftain called out to her again. “Dr. Tatiana, is there really no young man on the island you like?”
Her serious expression instantly melted into embarrassment. “Chieftain, I won’t leave without reason. You can rest assured.”
The chieftain was full of regret. He was old and wanted to think more about his tribe’s future. Keeping Dr. Tatiana was only beneficial, and the best way to do that was through marriage and children.
Unfortunately, looking at the whole island, not one man had managed to catch Dr. Tatiana’s
eye.
What a useless bunch of young men!
Three days later.
Tatiana was fully prepared, boarding the ship with large and small bags.
Alita was also among those traveling today.
A quick glance showed that most of the crew were young and strong. They actively helped her carry her luggage onto the boat.
The boat slowly sailed away under the expectant gazes of the crowd.
Tatiana leaned against the railing, lazily basking in the sun.
Alita came over holding two coconuts. “Here, drink!”
“Thanks.”

She held the coconut and took a big gulp.
All–natural, no pollution, and incredibly sweet.

“I just heard them say that many strange ships have appeared on the sea recently. They’re all the most advanced, best ships. They saw them from afar and didn’t dare to get close. If we were hit by one cannonball, our boat would sink!”
“Are they the coast guard?”
“No, they seem to be Hindersville ships. Someone was brave enough to make contact. They seem to be looking for some treasure, probably from a shipwreck. Haha! I really want to go digging too.”
She didn’t take it to heart, responding listlessly, “You don’t have diving gear. Give up.”
“Hmph, you’re so annoying!”
She held the coconut, growing drowsy. The sea breeze was too comfortable, and she accidentally fell asleep.
She was later shaken awake by Alita.
“Stop sleeping! Wake up!”
She rubbed her eyes, still blurry with sleep. “What’s wrong?”
“Look! A Hindersville ship! It’s so majestic!”
Before Tatiana was fully awake, Alita pulled her to the railing and pointed. “There, look!”
She followed her gaze. Her first reaction was: how huge!
It was no comparison to their small fishing boat. It could easily smash them.
Alita sighed, “If we had a ship like that, we definitely wouldn’t be bullied! We could do whatever we want!” Her eyes were full of envy.
Tatiana looked closely and nodded. “Indeed. It’s very big, very new, and very beautiful.”
When encountering such a powerful ship, they didn’t dare approach. The helmsman automatically steered away.
Who would have thought that ship would head straight for them?
The people on their boat immediately tensed up. Alita was still comforting everyone, “It’s okay. Hindersville people have a good reputation. They love peace and don’t like conflict. They won’t

do anything to us.”

Tatiana stared for a long time, somewhat tempted.

Alita thought of something, turned to her, and exclaimed in surprise, “Right, you seem to be from Hindersville too! Want to ask them?”
She had exactly that intention. No one would be incurious about their own origins.
A companion nearby interrupted their conversation. “Forget it, Alita. Did you forget why Dr. Tatiana fell into the sea? That was a gunshot wound! She might have been chased and thrown into the sea. If those people find out she’s still alive, they’ll definitely come after her!”
This sentence immediately extinguished their idea.
Tatiana subconsciously touched her chest. It still felt painful. There was a scar there, left by a gunshot.
A gunshot wound and a blow to the head. She was truly blessed by the sea god to be alive.
Watching the big ship gradually approach, they all tensed up.
At that moment, the people on the big ship were also chatting idly.
“We’ve been searching for a year. The top brass still hasn’t given up? What kind of person? Their bones are probably gone by now.”
