Change Clothes
“Sannie…” Vinson knelt beside Arielle and gazed at her worryingly. His voice trembled when he called
out her name. Little did he expect they would reunite under such circumstances after not seeing one
another for a few days.
At that moment, Arielle coughed a few times, spit out a few mouthfuls of water, and opened her eyes.
She smiled when she saw Vinson’s concerned facial expression. “Don’t worry. I’m fine.”
Right after Arielle said that, Lorraine, who was being resuscitated, regained consciousness as well.
Hearing Arielle’s reassurance, Vinson gently helped her up and held her tightly in his arms. If we had
not arrived here in time, would they have…
He did not dare to think further. “Mr. Nightshire, their clothes are completely soaked. We should let
them change into a pair of fresh clothes to prevent them from getting sick,” Carlos reminded Vinson
after he chased everyone else off the deck.
Only then did Vinson recall Arielle’s clothes were wet. He brought her to the room to get changed. As
for Lorraine, she did not have the strength to go to the room and change her clothes, so Carlos
instructed the soldier who had performed first aid on her earlier to carry her into the room.
That soldier did not overthink the situation. He heeded the command and carried Lorraine to the room.
However, after placing her on the bed inside the room, he accidentally saw her exposed chest because
two buttons on her shirt were unfastened. The soldier was dumbfounded at that instant, and his face
immediately turned red.
He turned around and took out a set of clothes from the wardrobe before tossing the garments to her.
Then, he uttered while blushing, “Y-You should get changed…”
With that, the soldier hastily left.
Lorraine was not in the mood to tease the innocent young soldier. At that moment, her whole body was
drenched, and she was drained of all strength. She propped herself up with difficulty, changed into a
pair of fresh clothes, and then lay entirely still on the bed.
As someone in a relationship, Arielle had received much better treatment than Lorraine, a single
woman. After she was carried back to the room, Vinson even helped her change her clothes. After that,
they cuddled under the blanket together so that he could warm her up with his body.
“How did you fall into the sea? Weren’t you treating Anna’s father’s illness?” Vinson dared to leave the
island to seek help without worry because he knew Arielle was providing treatment for Micah’s
condition. Unexpectedly, something terrible had happened anyway. Vinson had almost lost Arielle and
was so close to being unable to meet with her again. He wrapped his arms tighter around her at that
thought.
At the mention of that, she recounted her meeting with Gaspar to him.
“He shares very similar facial features with you. Anyone who is not close to you will not be able to
differentiate you two. I suspect the two of you to be brothers and that he is somehow related to all our
previous predicaments.”
Vinson was stunned after listening to her.
Brothers? Do I have a brother? Why am I not aware of this?
“I need to ask my mom about this. Perhaps she might know something.” As he spoke, Vinson suddenly
remembered that he had not contacted Susanne since he escaped the island, so the old woman must
still be uninformed of the news of their survival.
With that thought in his mind, Vinson let go of Arielle and got down from the bed. He tucked her in and
said to her, “I’m going to borrow a phone to call my mom. She still doesn’t know that we’re alive.”
Arielle nodded. She was too exhausted to talk.
After that, Vinson left the room and borrowed a phone from Carlos to contact Susanne.
