Shen Jingmo put down his binoculars and immediately called Lin Jing: "Immediately send people to search for Lu Zhiwei's whereabouts in the nearby waters. If she is trying to escape by diving, we must meet her as soon as possible."
"Okay, Mr. Luo, I'll go right away." Lin Jing went to handle the matter without saying another word.
"Daddy, will my mommy be alright? She's such a good swimmer, how could this happen?" Lu Anyu asked, his voice trembling with tears, his little face scrunched up with anxiety.
Shen Jinmo gently pinched Lu Anyu's cheek to comfort him, "It's okay, An'an. You have to trust your mommy. She must have her reasons for doing this."
After calming Lu Anyu down for a while, Shen Jinmo picked up the binoculars and took a few more glances.
Lu Zhiwei's figure could be seen floating on the water, motionless, letting the waves crash against her.
The women who were searching for her rushed to her and together lifted her body ashore.
The cruise ship was carrying them away, and they were getting further and further away from the island. He could no longer see Lu Zhiwei's condition.
Shen Jinmo was completely panicked.
He shakily put down the binoculars.
"An'an, Daddy has to find a way to get to the island. Did your mommy teach you the art of makeup?" Shen Jinmo held the little guy's hand and looked at him with great expectation.
Lu Anyu nodded: "Yes, Mommy taught me, and I've been practicing a lot lately. Now my face-drawing skills can barely fool ordinary people."
"Alright, Daddy has a task for you." Shen Jinmo leaned close to his son's ear and whispered.
After listening, Lu Anyu nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Dad, I've got it covered."
...
Inside the bedroom on the second floor of the island villa.
Lu Zhiwei lay on the bed, her face pale, as the family doctor examined her.
Daisy, standing to the side, clenched her fingers tightly, her heart pounding in her chest.
"Doctor, how is the young mistress?"
"He just had some fluid buildup in his lungs and needs an IV drip. He'll wake up in a while," the doctor said truthfully.
Daisy finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was terrified. If anything happened to her, we'd all be finished."
"Should this matter be reported to the young master truthfully?" the doctor asked her.
Daisy has been in charge of this island for many years. Luo Xiu rarely comes to the island, and she makes all the decisions on matters big and small.
After much deliberation, Daisy and the doctor conspired: "Keep this a secret for now, and no one is allowed to inform the young master. This woman is courting death by going swimming; she wants to drag us down, but no way."
Lu Zhiwei, who had already woken up but had not opened her eyes, tightly gripped the corner of the blanket.
If Daisy hadn't informed Luo Xiu of her accident, Luo Xiu wouldn't have come to the island.
Her plan to lure the enemy in by risking her own life has ultimately failed.
I lay in bed for a day and a night.
Lu Zhiwei's body was numb from lying down.
She sat up in bed, pulled out the IV, and became increasingly angry. She went downstairs in a cotton loungewear set.
Daisy was busy downstairs when she saw Lu Zhiwei wake up, but her face didn't show much joy.
He said to her in a sarcastic tone, "Young Madam, once you're awake, stay upstairs and get well soon."
"Where is Luo Xiu? Why hasn't he come to see me yet? I almost died in the sea, why hasn't he come?" Lu Zhiwei said angrily.
"Do you think the young master is idle all day long and only knows how to flirt with you? He has a lot of things to do. We didn't tell the young master about you choking on water, and you'd better keep it a secret too, otherwise you'll implicate us and you'll be in big trouble."
Daisy held the fruit knife in her hand and deliberately waved it in front of Lu Zhiwei.
She thought this would scare Lu Zhiwei.
The people on the island didn't know much about Lu Zhiwei's past. After spending a few days with her, they only thought she was a spoiled rich girl who was arrogant and delusional, yet still dreamed of becoming a phoenix.
I despise her.
Lu Zhiwei didn't mind what the islanders thought of her.
The persona she created was only to lure Luo Xiu back to the island so she could carry out her plan.
"So, Luo Xiu really won't come to the island to see me?" Lu Zhiwei took a piece of apple from the fruit plate Daisy had prepared and ate it casually.
Daisy glared at her: "No way! Forget about it."
The words had barely left his mouth.
A bodyguard's hurried voice came from the doorway: "Sister Daisy, Madam, Young Master Luo is back."
Upon hearing that Luo Xiu had returned, Daisy's face turned pale and then red.
She immediately put down the fruit knife and gave Lu Zhiwei a warning look: "Don't talk nonsense."
Then he went out to greet them with all the servants and bodyguards.
Lu Zhiwei leaned back on the sofa, her gaze slowly drifting towards the door.
A tall figure walked in from outside.
He was wearing a black leather jacket and a black baseball cap.
"Welcome back to the island, young master. Miss Lu is in the living room." Daisy greeted him with a beaming smile, her face plastered with a fawning grin.
"Hmm." The person responded coldly and walked straight into the living room.
Daisy watched as Luo Xiu headed straight for Lu Zhiwei, and wisely led the servants and bodyguards away.
Upon arriving in the living room, Luo Xiu walked straight to Lu Zhiwei's side without saying a word.
His tall figure looked down at her with disdain.
Lu Zhiwei met those eyes and covered her mouth in surprise.
Although his eyes were indeed blue, she could tell at a glance that he was wearing blue contact lenses, not his true eye color.
"You..." Lu Zhiwei was about to ask who he was?
Suddenly, the man bent down and lifted her up from the sofa.
The petite woman was held in the man's arms, his strong chest enveloping her—a truly pleasing sight.
Daisy and several maids hid outside the door to peek.
Lu Zhiwei's gaze was fixed on the man's earlobe.
Round, white earlobes are considered auspicious by elders.
Lu Zhiwei had carefully studied Shen Jinmo's earlobes before, and she liked to pinch his earlobes when she nestled in his arms.
He was always seduced by her actions, and would carry her to the bed and do whatever he wanted to her.
This scene seems familiar.
"It's me," Shen Jinmo whispered in her ear.
After confirming his identity, Lu Zhiwei stopped resisting. Instead, she hugged his neck tightly and whispered in his ear, "Why are you here?"
"I've come to check on your safety."
"You've come at the perfect time. I'll borrow your face to act in a play." Lu Zhiwei loved to make the most of everything.
Why wouldn't I use "Luo Xiu" who's been delivered right to my door?
Lu Zhiwei hooked her arm around his neck and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
Shen Jinmo got into character quickly; after being kissed, he carried her straight to the second floor.
The door to the master bedroom on the second floor slammed shut.
Daisy and the maids downstairs then stopped watching.
"It seems the young master truly loves this Miss Lu," the maid said enviously.
"Given the young master's stamina, it'll definitely take him a while to get going. Let's go prepare dinner." The servants tactfully left the living room and went about their own business.
Only Daisy remained rooted to the spot, looking serious, as if something was amiss.
