Pawpaw Clark smiled at Anna. "It's okay. I'll walk slowly." i
"No can do. I'll help you down," Anna insisted. 2
"You..." Pawpaw Clark looked like he was resigned to i t and let Anna help him down. When he was securely seated on the couch, he said, "Don't get anxious, Luna. George will definitely contact you once he's done with his engagement."
"I hope." Luna forced a smile.
There was a flash of darkness in Pawpaw Clark's eyes.
Hah, it was too bad that George and Oliver Wright would never come back. It would be Luna, Anna, Susie, and the rest after this... Other than Serenity, no Wrights would live.
"It'll be morning too in the States later. The TV will broadcast the interaction and collision between the Wolf Squad and the Thunder Squad live then. Dad and Oliver will appear for sure," said Anna.
"Mm." Luna nodded.
On the island, the sky was only darkening as night crept in.
With the sedative losing its effect, Susan and Serenity woke up almost at the same time. When he saw Susan opening her eyes, Julian went over. "Susie, you're
awake.”
There was a sense of confusion flashing in Susan’s eyes as she looked at him.
Julian? Why was Julian here? Was she dreaming?
Susan rubbed her eyes harshly but the man did not disappear from her sight.
"Susie, it's me.” Julian gripped her hand.
"Julian, have you rescued me?" Susan sat up abruptly. She could not help the shock that flashed in her eyes when she checked her surroundings. No, she was still i n the room. She had not left the island.
Then, why was Julian here...
Susan kept her eyes on Julian. Disbelief coloring them. "Julian, you... did you..."
Avoiding her gaze, he replied grimly, "Susie, don't worry. We can leave this place after three days.”
This was the least of Susan's concern. She suddenly grabbed Julian's hand forcefully. With the panic coursing through her, she was shaking. "Julian, tell m e what time is it now? Has a long time passed? You... you didn't do that, right?”
"Julian, where's dad and Oliver?" Serenity asked directly.
Pressing his lips together, Julian said nothing.
Joseph's voice drifted in from the door then.
"George and Oliver Wright have of course been sent to hell." Joseph's gaze was disquieting with a tinge of anticipation hidden in it.
Susan looked at Julian at once. "Julian! What is he saying? Tell me he’s lying - he's lying, right?"
"Susie, don’t think about it. Just remember that I’ll take you away from here safely," Julian answered in a low tone.
Susan slapped his hand away. "Julian Shaw, tell me the truth. Where's Dad? Where's Oliver? How are they now? Did you kill them? Are you crazy!”
"I don't believe it!” Serenity gritted her teeth. "Joseph, don't try to trick us."
