Chapter 1241
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
âTheyâre qualified. Theyâve got all the required certificates, and they have a lot of experience.â
Based on this, Wesley realized that Carlos and Debbie had been set up.
The most important thing was to track down their boat and rescue them.
Soon, Blair found Kinsley. He was trying to get Stephanie to take a dip with him.
âHey Kinsley! Debbie and Carlos are in trouble,â she told him.
âWesley wants you to grab some boats to find Carlos and Debbie.â
Kinsley was holding Stephanie in his arms. When Blair said her piece, he let go of Carlosâ fiancee
instantly.
As a result, Stephanie fell into the water with a splash. She thrashed around and swallowed some
seawater, choking as she spit it out.
She was about to get angry, but she realized the news was about Carlos.
She got out of the water, grabbed Blairâs hand and asked, âWhat happened?â
âI donât know. Wesley asked me to find people, have them hop in a boat, and try to find them.â Blair
didnât stick around to talk with
Stephanie. She had to let Niles know too.
Meanwhile, underwater, Debbie tried to calm down. She broke the surface. Finally she could breathe,
and the storm had passed over them.

The island Carlos told her about seemed to be closer, close enough to swim to. She swam towards it
as fast as she could.
After a while, she had to take a break. She panted hard and put a hand over her eyes to shield them
from the sun. The island still looked quite far away, and now she lost track of Carlos.
âCarlos!â she shouted, tears in her eyes. She couldnât even hear an echo. The sea was quiet, and
swallowed her words. No one answered her.
She couldnât panic. Carlos had coached her on saving her energy. If she relaxed, she could float.
Debbie had to make it to the island.
So she swam and swam. Her legs ached and started cramping up. âOne more, just one more.â She told
herself that to motivate her. âOne more,
âand then a stroke. âOne more, â and then a kick. When she finally reached the shore, she was so
exhausted she had to crawl towards the island.
But then even crawling was too much for her. She rolled over to lie on her back. Looking at the sky, she
gasped as if she had never breathed before, gulping down great lungfuls of air. It took her a few
minutes before she had enough energy to even sit up. Just then, a weird creature came into view. It
broke through the surface and dove underwater again. It happened again and again.
Debbie Looked carefully. It was big. Sleek, and long. A blue fin broke through the water. Now it was
less weird, but super-dangerous.
âA shark!â she screamed.
Her Legs were shaking uncontrollably. Thankfully, she had gotten out of the water.
She turned around and walked quickly towards the dry sand. But before she could take two steps, she
reflected, âCarlos is still out there. I canât just leave him alone like this.â
Cupping her hands around her mouth, she shouted, âCarlos! Old man!
