"Grandpa, his eyelids moved!"
A surprised voice sounded in his ears.
"Am I not dead? Am I saved? "
Jack gradually revived.
He was so weak that he couldn't even open his eyes.
Severe pain wrapped his whole body, as if being stabbed by countless sharp needles.
But he could hear clearly that the voice belonged to Rena.
Then Carlos's voice rang in his ears.
"Thank God. You are finally out of danger. Don't move. The poison penetrates into your blood, but you are lucky to survive. Remember to have a good rest."
Jack's heart settled down.
He finally escaped.
When facing the killer's katanas, he chose to jump into the sea without hesitation.
He just used the opportunity of falling into the sea to tell Carlos where he was.
Jack would never sat and waited for his doom.
Even if there was only a long shot, he had to fight for it.
Standing in place, he would only be killed by the killer.
But falling into the vast ocean could give Carlos a chance to rescue him. Even if the chance was slim, it was better than being killed by a single blow.
Fortunately... He was right!
"Rena, take good care of Mr. Hughes." Carlos's command sounded in his ears.
"What?!"
Rena was taken aback and said with some dissatisfaction, "Grandpa, I am a woman, and he is a man. It is improper for us to stay alone. Don't you care about your granddaughter?"
"If you are to be innocent, everything will be proper. You always think about all that stuff. What can I do?"
Carlos laughed strangely, "Mr. Hughes is a senior of the Grand Freemasons. It is your honor to take care of him. Those guys are all eager to take care of him. I am doing you a favor by appointing you this job."
Jack laughed in his heart.
Carlos really good at making up excuses.
The footsteps gradually fainted away, showing that Carlos had left.
It was quiet again.
Immediately, Jack felt something approaching.
A tangy fragrance came, followed by bursts of heat and whispers.
"Can you hear me?"
Jack, "..."
He could hear it, but couldn't speak.
"Alas... Why did he make himself so miserable?"
Rena sighed and said in Jack's ear, "Fortunately, you know to ask us for help. The Grand Freemasons's strength here is well-known. With a call from you, they got you out of the vast ocean. Do you feel a little fortunate to join Grand Freemasons now? "
Rena's words made Jack have mixed feelings.
He was forced to join Grand Freemasons at the beginning.
But now his life was indeed saved by Grand Freemasons.
"You have been in a coma for seven days. In order to snatch you back from the gate of hell, grandpa and Mafia Boss used the power of the entire Grand Freemasons."
Rena whispered, with a bit of resentment, "I have been by your side for seven days. When could you open your eyes?"
"Seven days?"
Jack was shocked. In seven days, Amber...
He remembered that before the accident, Amber happened to call him.
It was just that he was in danger, and he had no time to be distracted. So he hung up the phone.
The chance between him and Amber was lost because of this.
Now that seven days had passed, how was his wife now?
When he was worried, Rena's voice sounded in his ear again.
"You've been on the bed for seven days, let me clean your body."
Rena's voice sounded, followed by her faded steps.
Jack lay motionless on the bed, but there was a bang in his mind.
