The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)

Chapter 1255

The doctor sighed deeply, a weathered expression etching her face as she spoke, "In our little

community, many don't live past forty. But here, we can make it to eighty, ninety, even a hundred."

"You could live that long on the outside too, with the advanced medical facilities and all," Tanya

countered.

The doctor shook her head, "Back in the hustle and bustle of the real world, we have to fend for

ourselves and find a place to live. we work ourselves to the bone, just like an ox, to put food on the

table. And sometimes, we can't even afford a decent meal. Here, it's different. We're self-sufficient, and

isn't that just wonderful?"

Tanya was at a loss for words. Raised in a life of luxury, she had no inkling of such hardships.

"If you help me get out, I'll make sure you have everything you need. You'll have a far better life than

you have now."

"I don't want to leave. What's the point?" The doctor shrugged nonchalantly, "This place is perfect. Why

are you always itching to leave? Aren't you of an age to just sit back and enjoy your golden years?"

"I'm not like you," Tanya replied sharply, "I have sons, daughters, a husband, and a whole family

waiting for me. Of course, I want to go back to them."

"But you're a fugitive," The doctor pointed out, "The cops on the outside are looking for you. Step out,

and you'll be in handcuffs and behind bars in no time." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Tanya flinched, "How do you know about that?"

"The boss who dropped you off let it slip," The doctor said, "To be honest, we're all fugitives here too.

We'd get caught if we went out. Prison's not on my to-do list."

Tanya gasped, "Aren't you natives?"

"Sure, but after escaping a war-torn country, we were broke and desperate. We did what we had to

survive," The doctor confessed.

Tanya took a deep, silent breath. No wonder none of them wanted to leave. Just then, a local came

running over. She had stumbled upon Tanya's makeshift boat while gathering coconuts in the woods.

The doctor led Tanya into the forest, and upon seeing her unfinished wooden boat, burst into laughter,

joined by the others.

"My dear lady, surely you don't think you can navigate the Pacific with that tiny vessel?"

Tanya's face turned white, "You don't want to go out, but I do. What's wrong?"

"No worries. Keep building. When it's done, we can take it out for a spin, maybe catch some fish," The

doctor said, her laughter laced with sarcasm.

Annoyed, Tanya retorted, "My boat is sturdy."

"Do you even know why our island isn't on any shipping routes? No ships, no planes, and they all steer

clear because we're surrounded by typhoons and reefs. Even the cruise ships won't come near. You

sure your little boat can make it out?"

Tanya was upset by the winds of realization. Had Leopold lost his mind buying an island in this

forsaken place?

"The owner must be out of his mind to buy an island here, with zero commercial value."

Tanya was fuming, panting with frustration.

But Tanya was determined to leave. She refused to wither away on this desolate island.

"William, Skyler, let's go play with the robots. Nina and Mira are waiting for us."

William was somewhat speechless. He’s a sensitive child.
