Chapter 1047 Is She Dead?

Percy stared at her.

Seeing the sorrow and loneliness in her eyes, his heart trembled, and that made him feel uncomfortable.

"Luke will find her." Percy was surprised that those words came out of his mouth. He was not used to comforting others.

Nina looked at him profoundly. She thought that she had misheard just now.

Before she could react, Percy stood up. ’Go to bed."

Nina chuckled wryly when she heard that command. Indeed, she had misheard.

Percy was never going to talk to her like that.

Nina could not disobey him. Even though she was not in the mood to sleep, she stood up, went into the bedroom, and lay by his side.

After she closed her eyes, her other senses became more sensitive. She could not ignore his breathing after being used to living alone. Percy used to want to make out with her very often, but he did not want to sleep with her, so she had some time for herself.

Now, all her private time had been occupied by Percy.

Nina sighed, and her mind wandered to her mother. The diagnosis found that her mother had a tumor in her liver. The doctor suggested removing it.

She gasped when she heard the costs involved in the operation. When she was thinking of how to get the money, Percy told her that he wanted to move in.

The house belonged to him. She had no right to refuse.

Percy heard her irregular breathing and opened his eyes. "Aren't you sleeping yet?"

Nina closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Percy was not deceived by her poor acting. He flipped over, pushed himself up with one arm, and enveloped Nina in his embrace.

Feeling the warm breath from his nose, Nina could not pretend anymore. She opened her eyes and looked at him.

Percy supported himself with one arm while he held her face with his other hand. "Can't sleep?" "Mm." Nina was flustered. She could tell what Percy wanted whenever he behaved like that.

"Let's not sleep then." Percy lowered his gaze and hugged her.

The night was eerily still. Nina dared not struggle, so she did what she was told.

In a daze, Bianca felt the ship bump into something. It shook, then it stopped.

The other mercenary opened the cabin door. "We’ve arrived. Boss says to bring the woman along.” This belongs to - ©.

The mercenary stood up and stretched. "Finally. I've been bored to death." "Enough nonsense. Otherwise, Boss will be mad at you," the mercenary at the door urged.

Bianca's head spun when she listened to the conversation. She felt uncomfortable, but she could not tell which part of her body caused her discomfort.

The mercenary went to her bed and frowned disgustedly. "You look like a refugee now."

Bianca did not respond to that.

The mercenary grabbed her and prepared to lift her up. He was surprised when he touched her skin. ’You're so warm. Do you have a fever?"

The mercenary at the door showed no pity toward Bianca. "Why do you care?" He said.

The mercenary heard that and lifted Bianca up.

Outside of the cabin, the light dazzled Bianca's eyes. She could only close them to reduce her discomfort.

Abel grinned brazenly when he saw how weak she was. "Let's get on the island," he said.

"Yes!" The three people began to walk.

Bianca slumped over the mercenary's shoulder. She struggled to open her eyes, and she saw that they were on an island. However, the ruins were overrun with weeds. Were they really on the Island of Despair?

Before she could take a closer look, her vision went black, and she passed out.

The Russian government had destroyed almost all the buildings on the Island of Despair. After a few months, the walking paths were covered with weeds and could not be seen.

However, Abel had lived on the island since he was a child. Even though he could not see the paths, he knew where to go.

As he walked toward the interior of the island, he clenched his fists whenever he saw the ruins of the buildings. "D*mn the Russian government. D*mn Luke!"

Bianca twitched when she heard Luke's name, but she soon passed out again.

Abel's fury grew as he saw the debris and craters. He turned to look at Bianca, who slumped over the mercenary's shoulder. Her face was red because her head was upside down.

"Is she dead?" Abel asked.

The mercenary put a finger under Bianca's nose and shook his head. "She's not dead, but she seems to have a fever."

Abel's expression sank. He turned around and continued to walk. "Let's go." "Yes," the mercenaries said.

Abel arrived at the center of the island. There used to be a palatial building there, but it was reduced to rubble. Signs of the intense battle could still be seen.

The Russian government spared no expense to destroy them. Jets had dropped bombs all over the place.

"How are we going to stay here, Boss?" The mercenaries looked at each other.

"Continue walking," Abel said sullenly and did not stop walking.

They stepped past the rubble until they reached a spot where Abel commanded them to dig with shovels. Soon, a tunnel came into view.

Abel led the way down. After the mercenaries brought Bianca inside, the entrance was covered by dirt.

They walked for about half a mile before they saw an elevator. The people went inside, and Abel pressed a button. The elevator traveled downward for five floors. When the doors opened, a building appeared before them.

"You'll stay here," Abel said while opening the door with a set of keys. Robert had prepared the underground complex as a precaution. The interior was lavishly furnished, and it was not short on amenities.

Not many people knew about the underground complex unless they had stayed on the island for more than a decade.

Robert would have been able to survive the attack if not that Luke and the Russian government had taken them by surprise.

"What a pity...'

Abel clenched his fists tightly and could not loosen them.

"What about this woman, Boss?" The mercenary asked.

"Put her in the room on the left," Abel said.

The mercenary opened the door. There was a bed with several sets of shackles on a rack. It was clear that the room was used to imprison someone.

The mercenary tossed Bianca on the bed without showing any mercy.

Bianca did not make a sound as though she were dead.

The mercenary made sure that Bianca was still alive before he left the room.

Abel ignored the mercenaries. He went to one of the rooms on the right. When he opened the door, he was assaulted by the smell of chemicals and herbs.
