He never expected that he would save his enemy one day, and that they would be conversing like friends.
If Flossie hadn’t intervened, he and Halston might still be at each other’s throats.
However, the price of peace was rather tragic.
Quinton was acting arrogantly around Halston, but secretly, he felt like he had wronged Halston and
Flossie.
If he hadn’t been so extreme back then, Flossie and Halston wouldn’t have wasted so much time apart…
“Oh, there isn’t any signal.”
Halston’s face sank.
That meant he couldn’t get in touch with Flossie for now—he could only miss her from across the ocean.
“By the way, I felt like I saw the Southern Oceanic Stone before I blacked out…
I wasn’t imagining it, right?”
After Halston had calmed down, he recalled what he had seen earlier.
“Yeah, you did! It’s a miracle!”
The fishermen all tried to speak to Halston at the same time, eager to tell him about the magical moment.
“It’s unbelievable! We’ve been fishing for so many years, but we’ve never seen such a large pearl…”
“The legendary Southern Oceanic Stone isn’t a legend after all! The pearl is magical—I feel healthier just looking at it.
My back and leg don’t hurt now!”
Halston rubbed his aching temples and asked Elijah seriously, “Are they telling the truth? Did we get it?”
“Yes, we did!”
Elijah nodded.
“The pearl is dazzling.
We stored it in Mr.
Ellsworth’s treasure box.
It’s magical…
It emits light even when it’s in the box, and is just like something from fairytales.” “That’s great!”
Halston sighed in relief.
One objective had been completed…
but he couldn’t stop now.
“Let’s keep going.”
Elijah immediately stopped him.
“Don’t, Mr.Guajardo.You nearly died; you should rest first.’Tm fine.I don’t need to rest…”
Halston clenched his fists.
“I can wait, but Flossie can’t.If I go back with the items one day earlier, that’s one less day of suffering for her.”Quinton immediately sensed that something was wrong.
“What are you both talking about? What do you mean by that? “
Quinton narrowed his eyes and demanded.
“Have you not read the news since you left?”
Halston looked up and scoffed.
Many things they did had made the headlines lately, and he felt that even the citizens of Zambawi probably knew that he was searching for a pair of eyes for Flossie, so he couldn’t believe that Quinton didn’t know about it.
Maybe Quinton had just stayed in this small fishing village so he could live in blissful ignorance.
“Yes, this place is pretty isolated.There are no phones, TVs, newspapers or magazines here…”
Quinton sighed guiltily.
But it’s my fault.I stubbornly wanted to find those treasures, and in doing that, I’ve ignored Flossie.I thought she was strong, and that I didn’t have to worry about her.”
Halston clenched his fists.
“She is, but this world is cruel.She’s strong and kind, so those villains took advantage of her…”
Halston didn’t hide anything—he told Quinton about everything that had happened to him and Flossie lately.
Quinton staggered back, his eyes wide in shock.
“What…did you say?”
He couldn’t believe that his pitiful sister had faced so much in just a few months.
“I’m running out of time.I have to get the four items that Owen wants in a month.I think you should go back and be with Flossie since you’re her brother.I won’t be worried if it’s you taking care of her.”
Halston had been worried about Flossie, but he had to find the items for the antidote.
Somehow, fate had made him bump into Quinton, and it might be a sign telling him that someone needed to go back and watch over Flossie.
The only other person who would risk their life for Flossie and protect her unconditionally was Quinton.
“No!”
Quinton refused instantly.
“You…don’t want to go back?”
Halston asked slowly, looking perplexed.
Was Quinton not worried about Flossie? “Of course, I want to go back, but not now.”
Quinton frowned, looking serious.
