Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

Seeing that Adele was frozen for a long time, Damon turned his head and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“There’s no signal on the phone,” Adele said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Hearing this, Damon took out his phone and glanced at the screen. His eyes sank too.

As expected, the signal was only half a square. Making a phone call was impossible and so was connecting to the Internet.

Now, there was no way out. They had been trapped on the boat. If they did not think of a way, the situation would be even worse.

“You sit here and stabilize the bow. I will go to the end of the boat to take a look.”

Damon’s tone was calm. He arranged for Adele to sit at the bow of the boat. Then he moved to the end of the boat and used the oars to cut open the water waves, wanting to see the situation below.

Either there was a foreign object in the engine that caused them to be unable to operate, or the engine itself had problems.

He used the oars to knock on the position of the engine and confirmed that he did not see anything abnormal. He returned to the bow and restarted. However, other than the buzzing sound, there was no other reaction from the electric boat.

Adele watched from the side. Her heart was clenched. She took a deep breath and saw that the boat could not move. She could not help but ask, “What if we are really trapped here?”

Damon paused and turned around. He happened to lock eyes with her. They were smart, but there was a hint of worry.

He lifted his lips and comforted her slowly, “Don’t worry.”

As long as he was here, he would not let anything happen to her.

After trying to start the ship several times, there was still no movement from the ship. Damon frowned and was probably sure in his heart.

It should really be a problem with the engine.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

He turned around and looked around. They were just at the corner behind a bush. Even if a ship came over, it would be blocked by the tall bush. They would not see each other.

This was the most tragic part. Even if they wanted to ask for help from the passing ships, it would be a problem. They would only see them after a boat went around the bushes.

After carefully observing the nearby terrain, Damon inadvertently looked down and saw Adele sitting on the boat. Her two hands were clasped together and her cheeks were red.

Damon hesitated for half a second and said in a low voice, “Stay alert. If there is a boat passing by here, we can go around.”

Adele nodded and tried to stand up and look around. However, as soon as she stood up, the boat shook. She swayed left and right, almost losing her balance.

Suddenly, a warm and powerful palm covered her shoulder and gently pressed her to sit down. “Sit properly and stabilize the boat. Leave the rest to me.”

After listening to the man’s instructions, Adele’s heart calmed down a lot and she nodded earnestly.

Although she was very unlucky and was trapped on the boat when she came out to the lake, she was lucky to have him by her side.

Time passed by. Adele looked at the time. It was already the end of the game. At this time, everyone should have returned to the shore.

The temperature around them was getting lower and lower. Adele sat on the boat and could clearly feel the chill seep into her body.

Damon stood at the end of the boat and looked for a long while, but he did not see a single shadow of a boat.

He turned around and saw that Adele was sitting there, her body trembling.

“Are you cold?” His expression changed slightly. He immediately turned around and reached out to touch her hand. It was cold like ice!

In the past few days, she had caught a cold in the rain and had a fever. Then, she fell into the pool. Now, she’s stuck in the boat on the lake for more than an hour. She hadn’t even eaten any food, so her body had naturally lost its heat. If this continued, she would definitely catch a cold again.

And once she fell sick, her immunity would decrease, and her body condition would not be able to undergo surgery…

Damon frowned. Without hesitation, he took off his sports jacket and wanted to put it on Adele.

Seeing that the man was only wearing a gray T-shirt, Adele shook her head repeatedly. “No, I’m not cold…”

Damon’s expression turned a little colder. Without a word, he put the coat on her body and pulled up the zipper, wrapping it tightly.

Adele took a deep breath, stared at him, and asked, “You gave me the clothes, what are you going to do?”

Even if his physical fitness was good, the boat was on the lake and the surroundings were cold. An ordinary person’s body would not be able to withstand it at all.

“I don’t need it, understand?” Damon said seriously.

Seeing that the man’s tone was unyielding, Adele had no choice but to retract the words she was about to say.

Time silently passed, and every second seemed to have been lengthened. It was long and difficult to bear, making one’s heart burn.

Adele took a deep breath and reached out to gently hold Damon’s arm. “Let’s chat…” she whispered.

Otherwise, they would only feel that time passed very slowly.

“What do you want to talk about?” Damon asked, pausing for half a second.

“I want to know how you became the president of the company.” Adele tilted her head and thought for a moment.

Hearing her question, Damon’s eyes suddenly darkened.

For him, that period of time was very painful. He had tried his best to prove himself before his father. He had tried his best to escape from his father’s halo and fought to create a world of his own.

After tempering himself time and time again, from the most basic drinking, business talks, planning, and drafting the contract, he was familiar with all the projects and the knacks of business. He had become a man, and at that time his father fell sick.

He naturally became the successor of the Yusuf Group, the kind that was recognized with no objections.

Seeing that he did not speak for a long time and was looking in a direction in a daze, Adele slowly approached him and whispered, “Is it inconvenient to say?”

Damon’s eyes were a little cold, and he said lightly, “After experiencing a lot of pain, I also learned a lot.”

His tone was so light that it was hard to imagine the darkness of that period of time.

Adele’s heart sank. This was the first time she had heard such serious words coming out of his mouth. Although it was just a simple sentence, it seemed to include lots of bitterness and suffering.

“Actually, I also want to become someone like you,” Adele murmured, holding her chin in her hand.

“You don’t have to.” Just as she finished speaking, the man’s deep voice came into her ears.

“Why not?”

The seriousness on Damon’s face dissipated, and he leaned against the railing lazily. “You don’t need to be so exhausted. It’s good to be the way you are.”

It was good to be so innocent and pure.

This topic seemed to have become the key to the two people’s hearts. They had chatted for a while before they realized it.

Just then, Damon felt his shoulder sink. When he turned his head, he saw Adele leaning her little head on his shoulder. From his angle, he could see her delicate and upturned nose.

“Do you think they will notice we haven’t gone back?” she murmured.

“Yes,” Damon said softly.

Now that all their escape options had been exhausted and their mobile phones could not call for help, they only had one last option, and that was to wait.

When their colleagues found out that they had not returned, they would drive their boats to look for them.

The woman beside him quieted down and did not say a word for a long time. Damon turned his head and saw that Adele had closed her eyes at some point in time.

It was easy to fall ill if one slept under such conditions!

He frowned and immediately said, “Adele, you can’t sleep.”
