Chapter 1349: 1349. My Little Sister
Tsk—
A light laugh emanated from Ethan White’s mouth, followed by eyes carrying so deep resentnt, “Elly, am I really that bad in your eyes?”
“You are not in my eyes at all.”
Ethan White: “…”
His heart felt as if it was being bled dry.
“I sent them off to the mountains to mine coal.”
As he said this, Ethan White furrowed his brows, “But, there has been a small problem recently.”
Elly Campbell had no interest in knowing what his problem was and didn’t ask.
Just then, beneath the skies above Soldier Hill, a dazzling array of lights appeared, reflecting on the surface of the lake, shimring brilliantly.
Sotis they were curtain-shaped, other tis radial, and sotis turning into bands, the forms changing continuously, emitting brilliant light in the night sky, so beautiful it was hard to look away.
Ethan White was stunned.
Not because such auroras were rare for him.
But because an unfulfilled wish from his childhood beca an obsession in his heart, just like the person beside him.
His mother never brought him here, but he brought that beam of light in his life here himself.
Ethan White’s eyes slightly moistened, and a faint smile also appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Elly Campbell also liked such beautiful scenery, but only if she was watching it with her island master, with her two children.
Yet at this mont, even with such a beautiful view, Elly Campbell couldn’t muster any appreciation and only wished for it to end sooner so she could get so information about Adam Jones from Ethan White.
This occurrence of the aurora was brief, lasting only a few minutes before disappearing.
Elly Campbell seed to be counting the ti, waiting for the light to fade, and once the aurora ended, she stood up from the deck.
“Can you tell now?”
Seeing her urgent deanor, Ethan White frowned slightly displeased and said gravely, “What’s the rush?”
Elly Campbell knew Ethan White wouldn’t easily speak, and she had not harbored much hope, thinking she had been deceived by him once again.
She glared fiercely at Ethan White and walked away with a cold face.
Because she was furious, she didn’t notice the ground beneath her, and to better view the aurora, Ethan White had the deck lights dimd.
Elly Campbell had just taken a few steps when she missed her footing and fell off the deck.
Her reaction was quick enough; she reached out to grab the edge of the deck, but her hand, covered in a warming glove, wasn’t nimble.
The mont she clung on, the glove slipped, and she plunged directly into the water.
The icy seawater penetrated her bones in an instant, so cold that Elly Campbell didn’t even have the strength to shout.
Though it was only a mont, the down jacket she wore absorbed water, seeping into her clothes, pulling her swiftly downwards.
Already bitterly cold in the water, weighed down by her waterlogged clothes, Elly Campbell couldn’t move freely.
With a splash, soone jumped in beside her, wrapping around her waist and said in her ear:
“Don’t be afraid.”
Even though he was more physically robust than Elly Campbell, hauling soone whose wet clothes had instantly gained several pounds was sowhat strenuous for Ethan White in the bone-chilling seawater.
This ti, Elly Campbell cooperated well because the spot where she fell wasn’t far from the deck, and with Ethan White jumping in imdiately, aside from the suffocating cold, there wasn’t much else she felt.
On the deck, the crew had already been sent away by Ethan White, leaving just the two of them.
