After all, there was no signal on their phones in the vast expanse of the sea. Jane wasn't sure if the necklace her grandfather gave her would be able to send out a distress signal.
"We will definitely be able to," Patrick said, looking into her eyes with his eyebrows raised.
Patrick had never seen a transmitter like this before. Wasn't Jane's grandfather just a country gentleman? How could he have such high-tech equipment?
His deep gaze couldn't help but show some curiosity. His fiancée was not simple.
However, if Jane didn't say anything, he wouldn't deliberately ask either. He liked her for who she was, regardless of her identity or family background.
As they got closer and closer to the sea surface, Jane looked around and saw several islands in the distance.
A wave of excitement surged through Jane's heart as she was about to tell Patrick when she heard his magnetic voice say softly in her ear: "Jane, do you see that island over there?"
"Mhmm." She nodded. "I was just about to tell you about it."
Patrick chuckled lowly and whispered by her ear: "Are we telepathic?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his thin lips lightly touched Jane's earlobe. Suddenly an electric feeling spread throughout her body making it tingle all over.
Jane blushed at this man who still knew how to flirt even at this time: what kind of person is he?
"Don't mess around," she turned away from him and looked towards the distant island instead.
If there is fresh water on that island then they might have hope! But how long would it take them to swim there from here? Would Patrick's food last until then?
Could Grandpa really receive their distress signal and come rescue them?
While lost in thought suddenly came Patrick's low voice again: "Can you swim?"
"Mhmm." She nodded again
Patrick took out life jackets from his backpack and carefully helped put one on for Jane before saying: "We'll swim together towards that direction."
"Mhmm." She replied faintly hoping they could get lucky enough to encounter passing ships for rescue along their way
The two slowly descended into the water until they were very close to its surface now; The vast ocean stretched endlessly ahead of them with waves crashing against each other creating loud roars echoing through space filling up everything around them
Once again fear gripped onto Janes heart; although she can swim well but facing various dangers amidst these endless waters made anyone feel uneasy
"About to fall into the water, hold your breath," Patrick calculated the timing and untied the rope that was tied around them. He tied his and Jane's life jackets together.
The two held hands tightly as they fell into the sea.
Jane choked on several mouthfuls of seawater, which filled her mouth with a salty and fishy taste that was unpleasant.
"Jane, are you okay?" Patrick turned his head to look at Jane beside him and asked with concern.
"I'm fine. How about you?" The surging waves hit Jane's body, causing some pain. She held onto Patrick's arm tightly.
Patrick hugged Jane naturally and kissed her forehead. "I'm fine. Listen to me; we need to swim together towards that island."
