"Bring Jessica with you and don't let her catch a cold," said Larry in a deep voice as he waved at him.
Caspian stood up. After a moment of hesitation, he walked toward the car with Jessica, leaving only Larry remaining on the beach.
The sun rose above the surface of the ocean the next day, while a few seagulls frolicked nearby. It was extremely tranquil. Joan opened her eyes slowly and massaged her temples. Only then did she realize that she was not dead yet. Huh? Where am I? She scanned her surroundings and frowned.
She could vaguely remember that after she fell into the ocean, she had tried to swim frantically. When she reached the shore, she must have been so exhausted that she fell asleep.
"Ma'am, are you okay?" Suddenly, an old man walked over and asked worriedly.
"Where am I?" Joan looked at her surroundings, finding it quite unfamiliar.
"Ma'am, you should change your clothes." The old man pointed at Joan and whispered embarrassedly. Completely drenched, she looked pathetic.
"Darling!"
"I'm coming!"
Soon, the elderly couple brought her to their house.
"This is my daughter's clothes. Please make do with them for now," whispered the old woman as she glanced at Joan embarrassedly.
It's already great that I have something to wear. What else can I complain about? Joan quickly took the clothes and walked into the room briskly.
The elderly couple lived by the sea and did not stay in frequent contact with the outside world. They were honest and kind people without any tricks up their sleeves.
"Thank you." Joan walked out and bowed toward the elderly couple.
"You're welcome. Darling, look. She looks so pretty in our daughter's clothes," said the old woman to the old man gently, her eyes brimming with affection.
I really envy them! A smile crept up on Joan's face.
