Chapter 1258

“Come on, take a bite,” she said expectantly.

He opened his mouth and ate a little. The strange fishy flavor filled his mouth at once. He slightly

furrowed his brows in disgust. But when he looked at Debbie, she looked content. She was really a

trooper.

Debbie shouldn’t spend the rest of her life on such a desert island.

She wasn’t spoiled or ungrateful. That kind of woman deserved every good thing that came her way.

“No way. I have to get her back home, ‘ he swore in his mind.

A few minutes Later, when Carlos was eating the roasted fish and Debbie was munching on the lobster,

they heard a loud sound above their heads.

They exchanged glances with each other, excitement evident in their eyes.

Simultaneously, they Looked up at the sky. A helicopter was hovering up there, and several more were

on an approach vector. When she spotted them, Debbie immediately threw away the lobster, sending

the carcass skidding across the sand. She jumped up and down, waving her hands vigorously.

“Over here! Hey!” she shouted to the helicopters in

English. The lead one dropped Lower. She could see it was one of the

S-76Ds that this country had gotten from their contract with Sikorsky.

Hilton Group oversaw some of those operations, under the aegis of the

Ministry of Transportation.

Carlos clapped the food debris off his hands. Looking into the distance, he grinned and said, “English?

Really?”

Debbie asked in doubt, “Didn’t you say that it would be better to speak

A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y

English when being rescued?”

“Normally, yes. But…” He pointed to the cutter with their national flag flying in the wind; the killer whale

was right alongside the boat, as if accompanying it.

“Thank God! Someone’s coming to save us. Isn’t that the big guy? Look,

Carlos! It brought them here!” she exclaimed excitedly between Laughter and tears, hugging Carlos all

the while.

He gently stroked her hair, somewhat rough from exposure to salt water.

“Uh huh. They came. We’re safe.” He said it somewhat wistfully. While they hadn’t had the easiest time

of it, there was the fact that he didn’t have to sit in the office all day, working his fingers to the bone.

When he was exhausted on the island, it was from real work.

Besides, he was really enjoying spending time with Debbie.

As soon as the rescue cutter stopped a bit from shore to prevent running aground, they lowered a

motorized inflatable Life raft into the water, and Wesley and Niles zoomed over. When they got to

shore, Niles ran up to them, leaving his brother to haul the raft onto the beach. He rushed up to Carlos

and Debbie. He arched an eyebrow as he took in the bonfire behind them.

“Here we were, worried about you, and you’re eating lobster? Seriously, dude?”

Ignoring him, Carlos greeted Wesley with a fist bump and a hug.
