Heart Hunting

Chapter 47

Jolene has been ignored all the way. She is unwilling to be left behind. "Mr. Gilbert, can I join you?”

Noel looks at her, "You can't swim, so don't go.”

Poppy takes a meaningful look at her. If Jolene goes diving... Poppy closes her eyes to block the

vicious gaze in her eyes.

"Mr. Gilbert, you'll take care of me, right?” Jolene winks at Noel, but Noel ignores it. "Suit yourself.”

"Thank you, Mr. Gilbert." Jolene says happily, and tears a piece of grilled fish to feed him.

However, Noel pulls out his arm and pushes her away. "I can eat it myself!”

Although being rejected, Jolene doesn't lose heart, she smiles and nods, "Mr. Gilbert, be careful, this

fish has many bones.”

“I’m not a kid!” Noel's attitude towards her has always been cold. In others' views, Jolene is just playing

a monologue.

After dinner, the afterglow spreads on the sea, and several colors collide in the sky. It doesn't seem

mixed, but shows a beauty of layers.

Poppy stands by the railing. Facing the sea wind, she looks far away at the sun and starts to think. She

has always believed that the nature is the most powerful. The sea is vast. It is sometimes calm as a

mirror, sometimes roaring waves.Poppy may be pacified by the power of the sea, and there is a rare

quiet in her heart.

"It's a good choice not to go diving.” Kenny comes up to her from behind. His hands hold the railing.

"There are some things that you can't regret after you choose. Just like you want to see the colorful

coral after you see the beautiful sunset, but it's impossible, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.”

Poppy says.

Kenny looks at her. Her face is calm, while her eyes are full of emotions, but it's difficult to distinguish.

"So sentimental?” Kenny knows from the beginning that she is not a simple girl.

Poppy smiles. She looks at the distant glow, and speaks nothing.

The others come out of the cabin and walks towards them. They have changed their diving suits and

have all kinds of diving equipment in their hands.

Noel looks at poppy with a sad face. "Goddess, don't you really want to go diving?”

“Yeah.” She has done too many unnecessary things today.

Jolene grabs Noel's arm. "Mr. Gilbert, she don't want to go with us. Forget it!”

Ives has begun to wear equipment, and reminds them, "it's going to be dark.”

Seeing Poppy's resolute attitude, Noel leaves with frustration and starts to wear equipment. Jolene

doesn't know how to wear them at all, she dawdles there for a long time.

Poppy takes the opportunity to come forward. "It's new for you. Let me help you!”

“Thank you.” Jolene is really not familiar with this thing. She has been dawdling for a long time, so she

is afraid to drag them down.

Poppy helps her to adjust the position of the gas cylinder. When smoothing the breathing tube, she

hides a silver needle in hand and quickly pricks it at the breathing tube.

“Done!” Poppy smiles and helps her adjust her straps.

"OK, see you.” Noel waves to Kenny and Poppy.

Kenny replies, “have fun.”

Then they leaves to diving. With the help of the diving suit, Jolene can narrowly keep up with Noel and

Ives. Compared with the sea surface, underwater world is quieter. When you dive into the sea, it's like Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

entering another new world, isolating the disturbance from the land.

As they dive deeper and deeper, the beauty of the seafloor is even more beautiful. There are

magnificent coral reefs, lively and playful little fishes, and many colorful jellyfishes are playing happily.

In the unpolluted water area, the fish species are very rich. The fishes are healthy and harmless. Even

when you approach them, they will not attack you.

At first, Jolene manages to keep up with them. But later, she becomes slower and slower. As they dive

deeper, she becomes more and more powerless. Noel and Ives have gone three meters far from her,

she can barely keep up with them.

At the same time of speeding up, her eyes in the diving mirror show frightened.

There is water pouring into the breathing tube. She begins to choke wildly. She is not good at

swimming. She is panics and struggles to make a sign to them for help. But they are too far to notice

the back for a while. No one has noticed Jolene.

Her breathing becomes more and more difficult. As she sinks slowly, she feels so scared, as if she has

smelled the breathe of death.

At that time, Ives looks back and finds that Jolene, who was always following them, has disappeared.

Ives grabs Noel in front of him and signals him to turn back.

They look at each other and feel that something must happened to Jolene. They swim back

immediately.
