His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 1761

The difficulty of the rescue operation increased when the sun set and darkness encroached. Despite that, the search and rescue team continued searching for the victims.

By the time it was the early hours of the next day, they had fished out fifty-two bodies. Along with the ten bodies from earlier, the current deceased count was sixty-three.

There were still two hundred and eighty-nine people missing, for there were a total of three hundred and twenty passengers and thirty-two crew members.

During that period, every time someone fished out a body, Aaron would check it himself. When he saw that it was neither Arielle nor Vinson, he would let out a sigh of relief.

Although that was impolite to the deceased, no one could stop themselves from being selfish at a time like that, including the king. Some of the deceased were his people, and yet, he still could not help but feel glad that they were not Arielle and Vinson.

“Your Majesty, I'll be watching here. You should go back and rest for a while. There are many things to work on tomorrow,” Morrison murmured after walking over to Aaron.

However, Aaron waved his hands dismissively. He would rather stay there because even if he were to go back, he would still be too worried to rest properly.

At the very least, he would be able to receive news about Arielle and Vinson right away if he stayed here.

There was nothing Morrison could do when he saw that Aaron refused to rest. Thus, he waited beside him.

In the meantime, when the gloomy Nancy found out that the ship Arielle was on had exploded, she finally broke out into a smile.

“Arielle, this is the price you pay for going up against me!” Nancy muttered as she sneered.

“You're rather fast,” said the Duke who heard the news as well. He was wearing a similar wicked grin too. “My dear little brother, good luck.”

With that said, he summoned another person into the room and instructed, “Go there and keep an eye on the people. If they're found alive, do me a favor and help them to the afterlife. I don't want to see them in this world anymore.”

“Yes, sir!” the person answered before turning to leave.

Once Nancy and the Duke were the only ones left, the latter summoned Linda. “Convey the news of Arielle and Vinson's death to Chanaea. Tell them to move quicker.”
