Before Tyler had kicked the bucket, Liana had set the speedboat on auto-pilot and just slumped to the floor. Her mind was all over the place and she didn't even have the guts to look back.
Will, with his hands badly injured, gritted his teeth and placed his hand on Liana's. "Liana, don't worry," he said, "once we're safe, I'll send someone to rescue Tyler..."
He could tell that Liana didn't really want to pull the trigger, but Tyler had pushed her over the edge, leaving her no choice. The thought of being violated by Tyler made her feel dirty and without a second thought, she got up and moved inside the speedboat.
"Is there any medicine on board, are there a knife and any gauze?" She knew she had to stitch him up ASAP, no dilly-dallying. She needed these medical supplies to tend to Will's injuries or else his hands might be toast.
In her frantic search, Liana seemed to be tearing apart the boat for supplies, but really, she didn't know what she was looking for.
Watching her flustered figure, Will pondered for a moment before asking, "Liana, do you still love Tyler?" Maybe her distress was all because of Tyler?
Liana halted her actions and without a beat, she answered Will, "I don't love him anymore."
After saying this, she tried to steady her own emotions and finally spotted the medkit in the corner of the boat.
She found the clotting agent and bandages and immediately rushed to Will's side to stop the bleeding. Her hands were shaking, but gradually, they started to steady.
"We'll go to the hospital as soon as we reach the shore," Will looked up at Liana. "What about Tyler..."
Liana's face turned even paler.
"He's a brilliant doctor, he'll be fine," She tried to reassure herself.
Tyler, who was hailed as a medical prodigy since he was young, was leagues ahead of her and Will when it came to medical skills.
She believed that such a large manor might have prepared a scalpel and medicines. A person like Tyler would not be willing to die like this. He would save himself, he definitely would. As Liana comforted herself, her heart felt heavy, like something was slipping away, causing a painful ache.
Liana sat on the edge of the speedboat, hugging her knees, and slowly turned to look back at the distant island.
The speedboat was soon ashore. Liana gathered her thoughts and helped Will onto land, then saw a roadside sign. It was only then she realized where they were - the country Tyler had promised to take her to when they were children.
