Following the sound, on the balcony next door, she saw a woman in a white cheongsam, with long curly hair parted in the middle, and that face.
"Joy!"
She exclaid, montarily thinking she was mistaken, but the reality before her told her she was not.
Joy Lyle leaned against the edge of the balcony, speaking to her, "It really is you. How did you... co here too?"
This was the question she should have asked.
"I... was brought here by force." She replied.
Upon hearing her answer, Joy’s heart was a mix of emotions. After flicking back her hair, she said, "Elliana, don’t be afraid." I will find a way to get you out of here.
The rest of her words hung in the air.
Elliana nodded and asked again, "Joy, how did you get here?"
"It’s a long story; I’ll tell you later."
It seed that Joy was quite calm, not scared to be here, and she couldn’t help but ask again, "Joy, have you seen Nancy? And Luna?"
She wanted to know if they were here too.
Joy shook her head and said, "I don’t know; I’ve been locked up here for two days and haven’t been out."
She continued, "Don’t be afraid; nothing will happen, trust ."
Faced with Joy’s reassurance, she numbly nodded. Was she scared? She did not know herself.
It seed she was not feeling any fear.
Joy was carefully drawing on the wall with her hand, seemingly writing sothing, and soon, she understood.
[The room is monitored and possibly bugged.]
This was a reminder to her.
Half an hour later, it got a bit cold outside, so she went back inside and then heard the sound of the door opening.
A waiter ca in, bringing her breakfast, and said, "Mr. Brooke says you can go outside for a walk after eating, and I will accompany you."
A few minutes later, unexpectedly, the person who walked out from behind the waiter was the old man Brooke.
Why was he here? What did he want?
She imdiately stared at the old man Brooke warily.
The waiter looked a bit surprised, then said, "Sir."
"Leave us," Steve Brooke said.
After the waiter left, the old man Brooke stood not far from her, smiled, and asked, "Miss Lyle, have you made up your mind?"
She froze for a mont, knowing what the old man Brooke was talking about, but had no desire to answer.
After thinking it over, she still said, "Didn’t you say next month? It’s not here yet, Mr. Brooke; you won’t take away even the little bit of ti I have left, will you?"
Saying this, she smiled.
Steve Brooke was montarily stunned, then his smile deepened, "Naturally, but I like when you smile, Miss Lyle. Please smile more in the future."
"Alright, can I go out for a walk after breakfast? After all, I’m also a guest, right?"
"Of course, you can walk around the island as you wish, my dear."
Elliana: "..."
I ****
Resisting the urge to curse, she smiled sweetly, saying warmly, "Okay, I love the ocean best. I think I can collect so shells to string into necklaces. I’d like to have shrimp and stead fish tonight, would that be alright?"
She tried to appear as if she was in a good mood, so it was best to make so requests.
Seeing her calm down, Steve Brooke was also in a good mood and said very gentlemanly, "Of course, I’ll patiently wait. Now, it is your free ti."
