Chapter 71: Chapter 71

I'm at a loss on what to do.

"S-sorry," I spoke as I sobbed. The powerful flow of blood from his forehead coincided with the pouring of my tears. The wave was still strong, and we were returning, but his hand was growing chilly, and I had no idea how to warm it up. I kissed his hands and blew them away so he could sense my presence. Even though it was dark, the pallor on his face was visible, so my every scream became more audible. Raymond and Mark had already sped up the boat's operation.

I also avoid looking them in the eyes because I'm frightened they'll detest me. My hands were still trembling, and I almost had to take Mark's position on the boat.

When we arrived at the shore, Mark and Raymond immediately raced over  Adonis. My knees sag as I try to keep up with them. Fortunately, there is now a center in this region, but I'm not sure how competent they are of becoming doctors. That's preferable to having no one to approach. I could nearly crawl through the place simply to keep up with them. I just sat on the fine sand and absorbed the bitterness of my transgression. What should I do if he has a bad fortune?

I sat there for a few more minutes on the freezing night, letting the tremendous gust of wind strike me, thinking it may be angry at me. Even though I still didn't have the strength, I tried to rise up and walked to the middle ignoring the fact that I couldn't see the path. I simply believe it's better than swallowing Adonis's rage at me. My tears began to pour once again.

As I went, I imagined passing by a snake and being bite to end the great load I was carrying inside of me, but it also tortured my thoughts that I was doing everything merely to avoid vengeance from myself. I've done nothing but flee from my potential sins. When I arrived at the center, it was already crowded.I walked inside and was pushing the folks on the walkway. I noticed Mark conversing with someone, but Raymond was not. My eyes looked for him again, but I couldn't really see him, so all I could see was Adonis, who I believe was sleeping on the blocking curtain I could see.

I attempted to get there regardless of the fact that my face could no longer be explained owing to the excessive pandemonium, but I was about to start walking when I was abruptly stopped by someone's hand. When I turned around to see who it was, I noticed Mark gazing at me and shaking his head, and I believe they were doing something inside due to the size of Adonis' wound. I stared at him closely, tears welling up in the corner of my eye, and I peered at the curtain, wondering who was behind with him.

"I'm sorry, Miss Luna.  You need to rest, and we'll take care of everything. Sir Adonis will be good as well. When he discovers that you aren't getting enough rest, he chastises us." He rubbed his brow and gazed out the window. Because so many people were observing us, I wiped away my tears once again.

I agreed with him, knowing how difficult it would be for Adonis to recover if he didn't know where he would find his strength. I need to eat a lot of food so that when I get here, I can take care of him. I shall repay the power he has given me. If I had to get sick and lie in a hospital bed just so he could get up, I would do it. I knew it was my fault since he stated it was night and we should go to sea tomorrow, but I stayed firm.

I returned to our cabin. Mark had planned to send me off me, but I did not agree because Adonis needs him. The other people in the room were chatting and whispering. Perhaps they were already aware that it was my fault. As I walked back, a woman joined me, and I began relating things that I had no idea would compound the misery I was feeling. I came to a halt because I wanted to hear her stories. I believe she is my age since she is gorgeous, and it appears that she will only approach me now throughout my time here.

"He constantly tells you that the person he cares for is strong and beautiful.  We didn't know who it was at first since he didn't want to say anything, so now that we've seen you here, we're really delighted because we've met you." She gave me a kind smile. I was correct in my hunch that he had known the people here for a long time before Cole and I started working on the projects.

I sobbed as a reaction to what she said as she patted my back. I'd like to tell her to tell me more about Adonis because I feel like I am useless since she knows more about Adonis than I do. It felt as if every utterance choked me, and I couldn't express how awful it was that, notwithstanding my ideas of vengeance, while he I am the only one he thinks of. I'm not sure how long my rage against him will last. I'd like to find the answers to my questions, but I'm not sure how. I was perplexed, and I wanted someone to explain everything to me. That person was him, but I decided to be deaf.

I was lonely for Adonis after she said goodbye and went. I used to be irritated by Adonis, but now that he isn't at my side, the fragrance of him is all I want. I rose from my seat and resumed my walk. I relished the dark, quiet, and terrifying night because I knew that when I returned to the cabin, there would be no one to greet me except the solitary bedroom. I let my eyes watch the sky, but they were also interested in my dilemma because there were no beginnings and it appeared that it might rain at any time. I would not have insisted on leaving if I had only seen the sky sooner.

I don't think the tears will stop flowing because as I entered the cabin, I immediately sought for his scent and found it on the jacket I was wearing. I cried myself to sleep on the airbed. My body is towards the door, hoping it will open at any moment. I wanted to tell the wind that it would immediately return Adonis to me, but it appears that it had no intention of doing so since hours passed and my eyes were slowly closing, but he did not return.

I awoke, but the room was still quiet; there was no Adonis kissing me to wake me up. Nobody pinches my nose to wake me up; everything is as if I'm dreaming. When I stood up, I didn't take off my jacket and went straight outside. I could feel the swelling in my eye, but I ignored it because I needed to know what was wrong with him. But as I got through the tall grass and approached the people, they resumed their usual lives as if nothing had occurred, so my heart was racing. I believe Adonis has awakened.

When I arrived inside, perspiration had already gathered on my brow; I couldn't explain my joy, but when I went inside, there was no Mark. There were no nurses gazing at me, and when I saw who was inside, my heart fell. I felt like I was drowning because there were just typical residents here. Nobody approached me to tell me what I needed to know. As I neared, I heard a voice behind me, and as I turned to see who it was, I recognized the woman I had spoken to last night.

"If you are seeking for Adonis, I regret to inform you that he has been returned to the city.  The nurses here couldn't treat his wound since it was infected. Mark has returned him to the city." After she said that, she stared at me and then went, leaving me speechless by what he said.  Why didn't Mark notify me of what happened?

I hurried back to the cabin right away to get the money I needed for the flight. I'm going to follow Adonis wherever he goes. I never brought any additional clothing. Luckily, I still have the cards and cash that Adonis handed me. In my rush to get out of there, I almost tripped.

I'm already at the airport, but I don't know how to pay or buy a ticket since Adonis and Cole usually buy me a ticket, and I'm confused about where to get it. Some people are already staring at me because I resemble a lost youngster. I simply sat on the bench and gazed out the lobby at the numerous people passing by. As I sat down, tears welled up in my eyes once more. I didn't know what else to do but weep. I'm not sure when my tears will end. But, when I looked around, I was like a stump when I saw the woman in a rush and half-run to get away as soon as possible...

What is Wendy doing here? I thought Adonis had been returned to the city. I didn't allow my claims go unanswered any longer, and I hastily jumped up and followed Wendy. There are already a lot of taxis because we're at the airport. When Wendy got into the cab, I jumped in as well and followed her vehicle.

I assumed she was on her way to Zhejiang, but I was astonished when her taxi turned around. I urged the driver to simply slow down and keep moving so they wouldn't know we were following them. I noticed a large establishment when I arrived in the second town. I had no idea it was here on foot. They are correct; it is far away, and they will be unable to afford the effort and money if they continue to travel here. And we completed those initiatives that, in some way, exacerbated their issue.

When Wendy screeched to a halt at the large hospital, I was absolutely bewildered, and I'm not stupid for not knowing why she came here. Why did Mark deceive me?
