Filed To Story: Cheating with My Boyfriend's Best Friend Novel Read Online (Olive & Aaron)
After arriving at a nearby island, it was the first time in my life I saw so many pen-guins.
“These are Adelie penguins. You should befamiliar with them,”
Kristy’s tone became more excited than usual when she saw those penguins.
I chuckled, “Of course, the Adelie penguin toys you’ve sent me could fill up an entire bed.”
“These are your father’s favorite penguins.Don’t be fooled by their cute and silly ap-pearance. In fact, among the 18 penguin species worldwide, they’re the weirdest and most devious. See that?
That penguin pushed its companion into the sea. They often resort to such ruthless tactics to secure food, and that’s how they become the darkest rulers in the animal kingdom.”
Kristy passionately explained while Chris nodded in approval.
Seeing that, I couldn’t help but look at
Aaron speechlessly.
I tried to convey to him with my eyes: this was your good idea!
Aaron blinked innocently.
I rolled my eyes.
Suddenly, Kristy and Chris exclaimed in shock. I turned my head and saw a seal bit-ing down on a penguin in the water.
The tragedy happened unexpectedly.
I subconsciously looked at the two biolo-gists, thinking that since they loved penguins so much, they would be devastated. However, they seemed very calm.
“What a cruel animal world,” Chris sighed.
“Absolutely!” Kristy agreed.
“What a cruel human being,” I silentlyadded in my mind.
Aaron leaned closer to my ear and whis-pered, “Were you secretly complaining to your parents just now? What did you say?”
“Why should I tell you?” I gave him a coldglance.
“Their beloved penguin’s life was taken bya seal, and they remain calm. But when you were in danger, they were extremely wor-ried… at least on the surface,”
Aaron whis-pered to me.”Does that make you feel bet-ter?”
“Nonsense.” Although I didn’t want to ad-mit it, this nonsense worked to a certain extent.
At least I don’t have to compete with the penguins for attention.
Kristy and Chris’s attitude towards humans and animals was still distinct.
Putting aside the incessant lectures from the penguin-loving couple, today’s journey turned out quite well.
We were fortunate enough to encounter several whales and passed by the magnifi-cent Ross Ice
Shelf!
Upon returning to the research station, on the way to the hospital, a middle-aged man stopped
Kristy and Chris.
“The boss is looking for you. He wants youto go to his office after you return.” After he finished the message , his eyes fell on me, and he smiled, “I haven’t congratulated you yet. It’s a miracle that you survived.”
I looked at Kristy and Chris in confusion.
“This is Rock, the captain of the McMurdo Station’s rescue team. He was with me at the Scott’s Hut waiting for you. He was the first to discover your trace in the snow,”Chris introduced him to me.”He’s your true savior.”
“Thank you, Rock,” I immediately expressedmy gratitude.
“Haha, you’re welcome. Your parents havebeen thanking me for over a week now. Now I get a headache every time I hear ‘thank you’.”
Kristy and Chris chatted briefly and left in a hurry.
Rock looked at me and Aaron and said, “Are you going back to the hospital? We’regoing in the same direction.”
“Are you injured?” I asked casually.
“No, I’m going to have a drink with Dr.Wayne.” Rock had a cheerful personality, always smiling, “We are regular drinking buddies, and we have worked together in Antarctica for five years.”
Rock was an outgoing person, and he shared details about the life of the scientific research members in Antarctica along the way.
“Living here is very boring. Despite having asignal now, communication is still limited, and there are only a few TV channels. The food options are also limited, and the chef’s biggest concern every day is how to create different delicious dishes with limit-ed ingredients.
But your parents are great at it;
they always come up with some strange and unique recipes…”
Through Rock’s casual conversation, I fi-nally got a genuine sense of the daily life of Kristy and
Chris in Antarctica.
“Are they also considered weirdos here?”
“Well, in a way. Many of those who live inAntarctica long-term are a bit peculiar,”Rock glanced at me, his tone suddenly softened.”Do you resent them?”
I didn’t know whether to admit or deny it at that moment.
“No need to feel embarrassed. I under-stand it very well,” Rock patted me on my shoulder.
“Everyone’s life is filled with dif-ferent challenges. Despite that, we still need to be grateful for our birth and exis-tence.”
There seemed to be a hidden message in Rock’s words.
“Are you implying that their lives are alsofilled with challenges?”
“Smart girl, just like your oddball parents,”Rock laughed again.
“Your parents aren’t natural oddballs.
I’ve met real eccentrics, and they’re not like them.”
That was a novel point of view.
“Are you here to say good things aboutthem on their behalf?” I glanced at him.
“Hahaha, I’m doing this voluntarily,” Rocklaughed and looked at Aaron, then turned his gaze back to
“Your man?”
“Yes.”
“No.”
Aaron and I gave different responses at the same time.
Rock was momentarily stunned, his gaze shifting between me and Aaron, and then he burst into laughter.
He patted Aaron on his shoulder and said, “Young man, looks like you have to tryharder.”
“I will,” Aaron replied unabashedly.
We arrived at the hospital, joking and laughing along the way.
However, before entering the ward, I sud-denly felt a sharp pain in my abdomen. In-stinctively, I held my belly, bent over, and the smile on my face was replaced by pain.
“What’s wrong?” Aaron had been attentiveto my physical condition. Almost immedi-ately, he squatted down to check on me.
“Stomachache? Where exactly?”
“No… it’s nothing…” The temporary forgot-ten anxiety instantly returned.
I was certain that was fetal movement!
Could a fetus of only three months move?I wasn’t sure. I had never been pregnant be-fore, and neither had my closest friends, so I had no experience in this regard.
At this moment, along with the movement in my belly, a wave of nausea surged in my stomach once again.
