Chapter 610
The gate was opened. There were two armed men standing outside the iron bars. Both of them looked fierce, and they were holding rifles.
At this moment, one of them pointed the rifle at Nathan. He coldly said as he chuckled, “You, stand still. Don’t ever think about escaping from here.”
Tristan quickly intervened as he tried to placate them, “Please calm down, sirs. He’s young and spirited. He just got here, so he might have some thoughts of escaping. I’ll talk to him later.” The other armed man sneered, “Even if we let you out of this building, do you really think you can escape from this private island with no reception?”
Nathan’s expression became gloomy.
Seeing his grim face, the two men burst into laughter and left.
As they walked away, one of them said, “There’s no reception at all. I feel like I’m a caveman now.”
“Forget it. Let’s make some quick money for a few more years before quitting this job. This island is not a place for humans.”
As Tristan closed the door, he turned to Nathan and said, “Forget it, don’t argue with them.”
Nathan asked, “Have these two always been the ones delivering meals and daily necessities?”
Tristan replied, “No. Over the years I’ve seen many people, probably dozens. Sometimes a group of armed thugs come and they will gather in the open space in the garden.” Nathan raised his head to look at the camera. He curiously asked, “How do these cameras transmit video data if there’s no signal here?”
Tristan was stunned by his question.
After a moment, he slowly said, “Regardless of whether they can monitor us or not, we can’t break free from this welded iron cage or escape from this deserted island.” Michaela chimed in, “Yeah, there’s no boats, no reception, no weapons here. Once you resist, you’ll be killed.”
Nathan quietly returned to the dining table to have dinner with them.
After dinner, Michaela washed the dishes and placed them outside the iron bars. She bathed Elio before putting him to sleep in Nathan’s room.
Nathan switched rooms with them. He put down the curtain to block all the cameras. He slowly began to execute his plan.
Elio was asleep in the other room.
Tristan and Michaela were hiding under the blanket and whispering to each other.
Michaela murmured softly, “Why did Nate want to sleep in our room?”
“I don’t know. But there must be a reason for it.”
“It seems like he hasn’t lost his memory.”
“Shh, keep your voice down.”
“I’m already whispering.”
“He called me dad.”
“He also called me mom.”
“He must have married Wanda.”
“I like this son-in-law. I’ve liked him since he was a child. I didn’t expect him to really be with Wanda.”
“Yeah, I didn’t expect that as well!”
They fell silent for a while. After a moment, they whispered to each other again.
Michaela said, “He looks strong and powerful.”
“He’s a Defense General of Norvania. He’s young, of course he’s strong,” Tristan replied.
“Did he intentionally get caught just to save us?”
“It’s possible. Before going to sleep, he secretly told me to stay calm no matter what sound we hear in the middle of the night. He told us not to panic, and not to leave the room.”
Michaela was very agitated. She clenched her fists as she responded, “I’m not sleepy at all now. I’m so happy. I really want to know what he’s up to.”
Tristan held Michaela’s hand and
said, “My love, you must stay calm.
Whether Nate can save us or not, his safety comes first. We musto prioritize our safety too.”
“Yes, I agree.”
“Nate is steady and strategic. Let’s wait and see a little longer.”
“Okay…”
Under the blanket, their voices were faint and fragmented.
The middle-aged couple chatted quietly, on and off. They chatted until midnight.
