Chapter 1143: How about we negotiate with them?
Minutes later...
"I knew it!" Lily huffed. "They left without us! Wait... does this mean they’ve got a surprise for us?"
Max scrunched up his nose at Lily. "Can you shut up for a minute? There’s a sick person here."
"Sick person??" Lily briefly glanced at Ray, who was throwing up on the side of the boat. "Ray was already sick before, though." — sick in the head.
"Well, if Miss Penny told us to get on the island, it’s probably because she has plans," Allen remarked with a shrug. "I wonder what they are."
"Whatever it is, I’m looking forward to it!" Ginnie grinned. "I don’t like surprises, but this is going to be fun."
Max arched a brow at Ginnie’s remark while she chuckled excitedly. Meanwhile, Nina turned to Finn, who had told them to get to Pierson Island because Penny’s group was already there.
"Did Penny really say they went back to the island, Finn?" she asked, noticing the reluctance in his eyes. She pressed her lips into a thin line, holding his hand while nodding at him. "It’s okay if you can’t tell me."
"I’m sorry," Finn whispered. "I’ll let you know once we get there."
"But are they there?"
Finn took a moment before shaking his head. He leaned over and whispered, "Something bad is happening. We need to leave the town first."
"..." Deep lines appeared between Nina’s brows as she looked at Finn curiously and worriedly. However, since Finn was trying his best not to alarm everyone while still giving her bits and pieces of the situation, she didn’t want to let him down.
