When Ji Zhinan arrived, he saw several people washing clothes. The women were washing the clothes, while the men were responsible for wringing them dry and then hanging them to dry.
Because we were at sea, conditions were limited, and we didn't have many clothes to change into, so we had to wring out every last drop of water from the washed clothes so they would dry quickly.
The original fishermen on the boat, like her, became prisoners; some cooked for the other group, while others did laundry.
The woman called out, "Margaret, could you come here for a second?"
The woman named Margaret looked up when she heard the voice, wiped her hands, and hurried over: "Kelly, is there anything I can help you with?"
Kelly pointed at Ji Zhinan: "This is the young lady who is looking for you."
Margaret glanced at Ji Zhinan in surprise.
Ji Zhinan nodded slightly, his attitude still respectful: "I'm not feeling well, could you do me a favor?"
"Of course, please follow me."
The two men entered the small room where the fishermen were staying, while the men following behind were locked outside by Ji Zhinan.
As soon as she sat down, Margaret asked, "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
Hearing the familiar language, Ji Zhinan stared at her distinctly Western face: "You can speak Chinese?"
“Yes, Miss.” Margaret nodded. “I spent a long time in China studying traditional Chinese medicine, so I speak fluent Chinese. I know that you were brought on the ship from China by those people, so I know you are Chinese.”
In the current situation, hearing Chinese is indeed very comforting.
Ji Zhinan extended his arm: "Since Miss Margaret has studied traditional Chinese medicine, then this is troublesome."
"My pleasure."
With her three hands placed on her cun-kou (a point on the back of her neck), Margaret remained silent for a full minute before withdrawing them.
"You are pregnant."
Having received confirmation, Ji Zhinan's heart sank: "Are you sure?"
“I’m quite sure.” Margaret nodded. “Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners usually determine pregnancy around 40 days after conception by taking your pulse, and you are indeed pregnant.”
Ji Zhinan's expression was not good. She knew better than anyone that having a child at this time was not a good thing for her.
She is indeed skilled; if it were before, she might have had a 50% chance of defeating Roy's men using only her abilities and intelligence. But now she has to worry about the baby in her belly...
"Is your phone still with you?"
Even if she couldn't resist, she absolutely couldn't just sit and wait to die.
Margaret shook her head: "Our cell phones were taken by those bandits outside a long time ago. Even if we had them, there's no signal now that we're at sea."
At sea, at sea again.
After a dozen seconds of silence, just when Margaret thought the woman in front of her was in utter despair, she looked up and gave an enigmatic smile.
"If I remember correctly, people who study medicine generally have good memories."
Margaret nodded subconsciously.
Ji Zhinan took her hand, opened his palm, and traced lines on it with his fingertips.
Having spent several years in China, Margaret instantly understood: "This is... a Chinese mobile number?"
Ji Zhinan stopped: "After we get off the ship, we can exchange this number for one million US dollars."
Margaret shook her head hurriedly, her face filled with terror: "I dare not. If those bandits outside knew I helped you, they would definitely kill me. Besides... I don't even know which city they will stop in."
"You don't need to say too much." Ji Zhinan naturally wouldn't make things difficult for her: "Just say one sentence."
