A surge of worry and fear rose from Nolan’s stomach pit and filled his heart whole. He seemed to have
experienced this kind of feeling before as well
Something bad happened, and Maisie suddenly disappeared before his eyes.
Nolan moved his hand over his pocket, only to realize they had not brought their phones with them.
Helios handed his phone to him and said,” Maybe you should use mine.”
Nolan did not reject it. The first thing he should do was to look for Maisie, so he couldn’t care about other
things right now. However, he could not remember Maisie’s phone number at a crucial moment like this.
He gripped the phone tightly, and his veins were bulging from the back of his hand.
Phone number…
What is going on? It’s somewhere in my head, but what’s her number again?’
When Helios saw that Nolan’s fingers were hovering over the dialing button and he did not enter the
phone number after a long while, he opened up the contact list for him and said, “You can find her
number by entering her name.”
Nolan’s face sank. However, the situation did not permit him to question Helios why he would have
Maisie’s number. He did as he was told and called Maisie.
Maisie did not answer the call even though he had called her many times. Nina then chimed in, “There
are so many people on the beach . It’s very unlikely that she would be taken away by other people.”
Helios nodded. “Then let’s spread out and look for her.” Nolan gave the phone back to him without
turning his head and said. Til go over there.” The boundless sea had dissolved into the dark night. No
one could see what was in there on the other side of the sea. There was a gazebo under a row of
coconut trees beside a rock.
Maisie walked into the gazebo, and then she saw some glowing blue jellyfish floating in the sea. It was
only then that she realized that these jellyfish emitted the faint blue glow.
She snapped herself back to reality and looked at the crowd in the distance. She had been under the
impression Nolan would come with her, but apparently, she was wrong.
“Oh, sh*t!
She hurriedly rushed out of the gazebo. She wanted to call Nolan but hadn’t brought her phone with her.
She was certain that Nolan must be looking anxiously around for her after realizing that she was gone.
Suddenly, she bumped into a person and nearly fell to the ground had it not been for him to support her
in the nick of time.
Their surroundings were too dark, so she couldn’t see his face clearly. After expressing her gratitude, she
pushed him away.
“It’s me.”
“Mr. Boucher?”
Maisie was stunned. She lifted her head and squinted her eyes. Helios was wearing a mask, but judging
from his face exposed in the
air, she knew that he was Helios.
Helios released his hand and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“Helios!”
Nolan stormed toward Helios, and just when Maisie was about to say something, he threw a punch at
Helios, causing his mask to fall to the ground.
Maisie was startled and hastily went forward to stop him. “What are you doing. Nolan!?”
Nolan suppressed the anger in his chest, and his eyes were even darker than the night. ‘When did you
guys start seeing each other behind my back?”
Maisie was stunned. “What!?”
Helios got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. He lifted his head and
looked at Nolan. “Do you think you’ d listen to us right now?”
Nolan took a step forward and grabbed him by his collar, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
Maisie pushed him away and shouted.” Nolan, stop it!”
Nolan pushed Maisie away, and it took Maisie a few steps before she regained her balance. His eyes
were red around the rims as he glared at her. A sarcastic grin tugged at the corner of his lips as he
asked, “If I hadn’t come with him, how would I have seen you guys hugging each other?” ‘Hugging each
other? Helios and me?’
Maisie frowned.
Helios was holding her. They weren’t hugging.
“Hah, I get it now,” he looked at Helios, “You were lying when you said you came here for a business
investment. In reality, it’s because Maisie is here. After all, you even have her contact number. You
proposed to split up and find her as an excuse to avoid me so that you two could meet each other in
secret…”
Before Maisie could say anything, Helios threw a punch at Nolan.
