“This should be repairable,” Bruce said. “It’s just that the hull is quite damaged and needs to be
repaired.” Bruce checked it and basically knew what the problem was.
Jaydon was overjoyed when he heard that. “That’s great,” he said. “We’ll leave the repair of the engine
to you then.”
“Bruce, you’re really amazing. You even know how to repair an engine?” Bruce frowned.
People like them, who were enthusiasts when it came to cars and planes, were quite interested in
mechanical things.
Although they were not professional, they had no trouble solving minor problems.
“You go cut some wood and find more rope. Aria, collect some fresh water and food.”
“Okay. Alright.”
There was a complete set of spare tools in the storage box on the boat.
Bruce started tinkering, preparing to repair the boat’s engine.
Each of them was busy with their respective tasks.
By evening, the indigenous people brought them food again. The indigenous woman who had a difficult
labor could already get up and walk.
Now, with the child in her arms, she personally came to thank Aria.
In their culture, there was no concept of postpartum confinement. After giving birth, they would lie down
for two days at most before starting to do what they needed to do.
When the indigenous woman saw Aria, she was very excited and sincere. In her own way, she kept
expressing her gratitude.
Although Aria did not know what the woman was talking about in her rapid speech, it was definitely
words of gratitude. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
The baby was also very healthy. A small bundle, the baby nestled in his mother’s arms.
Bruce watched from the side. As he watched, his eyes could not help but turn teary.
Afraid that tears might fall, he avoided the crowd and came to the side of the boat alone.
Seeing this, Jaydon followed.
When he got closer, he realized that Bruce was crying.
“Damn,” Jaydon said. “Are you crying, Bruce?” He could not believe it, and he looked at Bruce with a
surprised expression.
“A hot-tempered, evil, and arrogant man like him would actually shed tears?” Jaydon thought.
Bruce’s eyes were bloodshot. He turned around coldly. His tall figure trembled uncontrollably as he
cried softly.
His heart was truly in a lot of pain.
Seeing this indigenous woman holding her child, he could not help but think of his wife and his children.
The scene of Joanna’s abdomen being incised and lying in a pool of blood kept replaying in his mind.
He really wanted to return to his home country to be with Joanna.
This was especially the case as his phone had no signal after arriving at South Elmerton. Currently, he
did not even know what Joanna had become.
Jaydon’s expression gradually turned solemn. He knew what Bruce was sad about. He patted Bruce’s
shoulder and comforted him, saying, “Don’t overthink. We can definitely return, and Joann will definitely
be fine too.”
“Hurry up and get to work,” Bruce said. His nasal tone was pronounced. He picked up the tools and
continued to repair the engine.
The engine was fine, and the fuel tank was not broken. It was just that there was a hole in the hull that
needed to be patched up.
Soon, after two days of repairs, the boat was almost fixed. The hole in the boat had also been patched
up.
For the past two days, besides providing medical care to the islanders, Aria had also collected fresh
water and food.
Bruce’s expression was solemn as he said, “We can set off tomorrow. I hope everything goes well for
us.”
Jaydon said, “Is the fuel enough? Will we not be able to make it to the mainland?”
“In any case, this is the only way we have right now.”
“Let’s hope our luck is good enough to encounter other vessels.”
“That’s the only way!”
“Let’s rest early today. We’ll set off early tomorrow morning…”
