Chapter 1242

Shark!”

She sat there listening, waiting for a response. But none was forthcoming. All she could hear were the

waves Lapping the shore. After several seconds, she shouted again.

“Old man, where are you? There is a shark in the sea!”

The sea was much quieter now, but only the sea breeze and the waves were answering to her.

Where was he? She couldn’t let anything happen to him. How could she?

She kept shouting, hoping her voice could guide him to the shore.

Something bobbed to the surface. Was that…a person?

Debbie cried excitedly.

“Old man! Old man, over here!”

Carlos got closer and closer. But then she noticed that there was blood in the water. He was injured!

But it was worse than that.

Sharks are sensitive to smells. Especially the smell of blood. A Little blood can attract them from far off.

Their sense of smell is stronger than that of dogs.

Debbie’s face went pale. She waded into the sea again. She couldn’t let

Carlos die before her very eyes!

The shark darted towards him. She could see its fin gliding through the waves. It got closer by the

second. Debbie swam nearer to Carlos. She poked her head out of the water and warned Carlos while

panting, “Old man, shark! Quick!”

Then she dived in and swam towards him as quickest she could.

Carlos stuck his head out of the water and yelled at her, “Get away!”

She heard him, but she couldn’t go back. What if the shark was hungry, and Carlos was on the menu?

She couldn’t swim back to the island knowing that Carlos was in danger.

She swam on. Carlos’ eyes burned in anger.

“Damn you, Debbie! I order you, go back!”

But it was too late. She was already at his side.

“Move! Shark!” Debbie grabbed his hand.

Then they started to swim as fast as they could.

When the shark was quite near, Carlos suddenly grabbed her wrist.

“Why are you holding my wrist? Swim!” she urged. She didn’t want to end up dying in a shark’s mouth.

She didn’t want that fate for Carlos, either.

But Carlos still didn’t release her hand.
