“Miss Hall! The weather is changing. We should leave quickly!” Wendy was still lost in thought when the crew’s urgent call was interrupted. “Why the hurry. Wendy looked up and glanced to the side, her expression changing abruptly.
The moonlight, once illuminating the sea, vanished behind a curtain of dark clouds, plunging the stranded speedboat into an dirkues.

Moments ago, it was tranquil, but the sea now foreshadowed a fierce storm with sudden gusts of wind whipping Wendy’s hair and small waves rippling across its miffior.
Wendy collapsed into her seat led with fear. “Hurry! We need to go back! Quickly!
The crew quickly turned the speelboat around and sped toward the island. They hadn’t gone far when a loud thunderclap suddenly echoed from the sky. Wendy’s hair stood on end

Adam suddenly spotica speedboat in the center of the sea. At first; he thought he might have been mistaken, but as he walked over to the railing and looked closer, Adair confirmed it was indeed a sperellat. “Look, there’s a speedboat!”
Hearing the sound. Thomas and Landon walked over. “Hul, there is one indeed. Who would be riding a speedboat and wandering around in darkness?”
“Nothing to see on this sea; it’s all dark and murky.”
Fliana also walked over to join the conversation. “It looks like there’s someone on the speedboat, a woman. I go get the binoculars and take a look.” When she looked through the binoculars, she was surprised to see that it was Wendy
Eliana said, “It’s Wendy,”
Thomas said, “Isn’t that Wendy? Adam, it’s your

Adam’s expression darkened. “My foot

Landon asked, “Could she be trying to come ab
The weather at sea could change in an instant. Wendy had been staying on the island for nearly a month, and it had always been calm, but she never expected a fierce storm to brew tonight.
When Shane saw the weather change outside, he turned to the servant and said, “Go bring Wendy back inside. The weather’s turning, and it’s about

The servant, frantic, replied, “Mr. Hall Miss Hall went out on the speedboat earlier!”
“What Why didn’t you stop her!” he exclaimed.
The servant exclaimed, “I couldn’t stop bert I even told her not to go, but she wouldn’t listen. Oh no, what are we going to do now? What if she gets

Shane anxiously stepped outside and grabbed the binoculars in observe the sea. The rain came suddenly, and in the distance, a cloud carrying a downpour approached. The heavy rain was accompanied by flashes of lightning flickering ominously within the dark clouds.
Wendy, sitting on the speedboat, was terrified. She kept urging the crew ahead, “Hurry up, go faster! It’s starting to rain!”
The crew member was cursing inwardly. He had already wamed Wendy not to go earlier, but she insisted. Now, she wanted to return quickly. urging them to hurry. If he could, he would’ve gladly kicked her off the boat.
On the yacht, Eliana said, “It’s raining now, Let’s go inside; we shouldn’t stay out here.” She raised her hand to catch the raindrops drifting in and turned to glance at the sea behind them
In the distance, the heavy rain was approaching at an alarming speed. Landon remarked. “At this rate, Wendy will be soaked to the bone before she
even reaches the island”
Owen asked. “So, those are the siblings who returned from Whartonburg earlier?”
Thomas nodded. “Yes, she’s the sister”
Looking at the speedboat’s direction, it seemed they were returning to the island. Owen speculated. “Given her current distance from the shor she’ll likely just get caught in the rain, but she shouldn’t be swept away”
Adam, feeling speechless, shifted his gaze away. “Let’s go, forget about her. Let’s head inside first”
After they entered the cabin, Cameron checked the weather forecast for the next few days on his phone. I think it’s better if we head to the island. The forecast says it will rain for the whole week,” he said.
Owen said, “A whole week of rain! Then we should head to the island. Although the yacht is large enough that we won’t be affected, it’s still not as comfortable as being on the island.“
Staying on the yacht could he pretty terrifying if the rain, thunder, and lighting intensified. It was more reassuring on the island. Eliana nodded. “Alright, let’s head back quickly while the rain’s still light.”
Owen walked to the control room and made some adjustments, bringing out the speed boat hidden in the yacht’s lower deck. They would take the speedboar back to the island
However, Owen’s speedboat was quite different from Wendy’s. By now, the heavy rain and strong winds had drenched her completely, leaving her looking like a drowned dat

Owen explained, “This speedboat has a canopy so we won’t get wet. Plus, its speed is three times that of a regular speedboat!” In they left now, they would reach the island faster than Wendy
They first notified the people on the island to send a car to pick them up, then set off on the speedboat. Compared to Wendy, who was drenched and struggling on her speedboat, their experience on the boat felt like night and day
Since they were heading in the same direction, Eliana’s group’s speedboat was bound to pass by Wendy’s Drenched and disheveled, Wendy shielded herself from the rain with her hands while loudly urging the crew at the helm to speed up.
At that moment, a powerful wave crashed over her, drenching Wendy completely and leaving her stunned. She choked on a mouthful of seawater. “What’s going on!” she asked, coughing.
She squinted and realized that the wave was caused by the powerful motor propeller i she saw Eliana sinting comfortably on the speedboat, untouched by the wind or rain.
