This time, Violet had made it completely clear that the bee wasn't Ivan's, but Stanley's.
Thinking about this, Violet's hands were trembling with excitement, and she hurriedly went to undo the headphone on the bee's butt.
After unclipping it, she stared at the headphone and then hurriedly put it in her ears.
Just as it was put in, a voice came, "Mrs. Murphy, can you hear me?"
It's Fraser's voice!
"I can hear you!" Violet looked at the bee and her eyes were red.
Fraser breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, I was afraid that the distance would be too far and affect the headset signal."
"I heard you clearly, but how did you guys think of putting a bee camera to find me, if I hadn't seen the red light, I would have thought it was a real bee, it scared me to death." Violet said as she patted her chest.
Fraser said embarrassed: "Sorry, Mrs. Murphy, we can't put a butterfly, for butterflies are too big, it's easy to attract Ivan's attention, so the bee is just right. This bee is something from the military, the military often sends these anthropomorphic surveillance when they are on a mission in the jungle, we asked the military to buy a few, originally wanted to try to find you, but I did not expect to really succeed."
"Yeah, I didn't expect you guys would actually put a bee monitor over either." Violet said with a smile.
"Actually we released more than one. We released three, the other two went to scout the island, this one will stay with you, you can contact us anytime." Fraser said.
Violet nodded, "Good, where's Stanley?"
“Mr. Murphy is on deck, looking through binoculars at the island you're on.”
"Looking through binoculars? So then, you guys aren't that far away from me?" Violet's eyes lit up.
Fraser nodded, "Yes, you can look towards the horizon now and you should be able to see something."
"Okay." Violet let go of the bee, and it flew up at once.
For her own part, she grabbed the railing and looked towards the distant horizon, and when she did, she saw something extra, a lightning rod, somewhere on the horizon.
That's the cruise ship's lightning rod, that is to say, the lightning rod of the Stanley’s cruise ship.
"I saw it, I saw the lightning rod." Violet was so excited she was going to cry.
Fraser smiled, "Yes, and now Mr. Murphy has seen you too, Mrs. Murphy."
Fraser said as he stood behind Stanley.
Stanley raised his binoculars and looked into the distance, his thin lips slightly hooked up.
Fraser knew then that he must have seen Mrs. Murphy and that was why he was smiling.
On the other end of the call, when Violet heard that Stanley saw herself, her heart was overjoyed and she hurriedly waved in the direction of the lightning rod.
She couldn't see Stanley, but she was happy to have Stanley see her.
Stanley did see Violet waving at him, and the curvature of his thin lips grew bigger.
The next second, he lowered the binoculars and extended his hand towards Fraser.
Fraser knew what he wanted and handed him the tablet.
Stanley looked at Violet in the tablet and spoke, "It's me."
"I know." Violet's voice choked.
Stanley's brow gentled, "Don't cry, I'll get you back soon."
"Okay." Violet nodded, "I trust you."
She didn't ask him how soon it would be.
It was enough for her to trust him.
Stanley reached out, wiping Violet's tears on the tablet.
Even if Violet didn't know, even if the tears wiped weren't real tears, he still did it.
"Just now Ivan went back to the island." Stanley said.
Violet nodded, "I know, he's at the villa right now."
"Well, his helicopter is also parked on the island." Stanley added.
Because Ivan's plane, which had flown to the island from another direction, hadn't noticed that they were already not far away.
Violet was surprised, "What? His plane hasn't left yet? So then, he's still leaving later?"
In the past, if Ivan didn't leave, the plane sent him back and left the island immediately.
This time he's been back so long, the plane is actually still there.
Stanley pursed his lips, "It's unclear for now, but it's likely."
"Then I'll find a way to hold him back!" Violet said, "Never let him leave."
