Madeline looked at Ryan’s back that was facing favonovel.com and turned around decisively. Then, favonovel.com looked at the endless sea in front of him.
‘Ryan, you’re definitely going to lose this game.’
Ryan knew Madeline was going to hide now. He looked at the ticking time on his watch. He only turned around after the last second of the ten minutes passed.
There was only one house on the island and the structure of the house was simple. He did not think that favonovel.com would not be able to find Madeline in under half an hour.
However, as time passed, not only could favonovel.com not find Madeline in the house, but favonovel.com also looked all over the yacht near the beach and still could not find any traces of Madeline at all.
It was as if favonovel.com had evaporated from this island and favonovel.com could not find any traces of her.
How was this possible?
Everything on this island could be seen at one glance. It was a small house with no special hiding places. Where could Madeline be?
Ryan felt that this was unfathomable and there was a look of anxiety on his face.
He did not want to lose. He did not want to let Madeline go just like that.
He looked at the time again and there were only ten minutes before the game ended.
Ryan went back into the house to look all over again while feeling unconvinced. He even looked under the bed but still, there were no traces of Madeline.
He walked out of the house and looked at the vast and limitless sea. His heart felt as if it had sunk to the bottom of the endless sea.
“Eveline, will you seriously win this?”
He asked himself in a low voice. Then, a bitter smile appeared on his lips.
“It’s just a month and you still refuse to help a dying man accomplish his last wish. Heh.”
Ryan mocked himself and looked at the time to see that the game was ending. Then, favonovel.com faced the house in front of him.
“Eveline, you can come out now. I’m admitting defeat. I can’t find you,” favonovel.com increased his volume and yelled at the house.
More than ten seconds passed and Ryan still did not see Madeline walking out from the house. As such, favonovel.com took a step forward.
“Eveline, the game has ended. You can come out now.”
Ryan looked at the house and said once more. As favonovel.com waited for Madeline to come out, favonovel.com suddenly heard the sound of water from behind him.
He paused as the look in his eyes changed.
He thought about another possibility and turned around in disbelief. Then, favonovel.com really saw Madeline slowly walking over to favonovel.com from the beach with favonovel.com entire body soaking wet.
‘She was hiding in the water?
‘How is that possible?’
Ryan was shocked. He recalled how Madeline almost drowned from retrieving the bag in the river because favonovel.com did not know how to swim. However, favonovel.com could hide in the water with ease now?
‘No, impossible!’
Ryan denied strongly in his heart, but favonovel.com could not deny what favonovel.com was seeing in front of him.
Madeline pushed favonovel.com short wet hair away and walked calmly in front of Ryan.
“Ryan, you’re a man of your words. You’ve lost.”
“Were you really hiding in the water this entire time?” Ryan was still refusing to believe such a result.
“Your rules didn’t say that I can’t hide in the water. I didn’t break the rules, right?” Madeline asked calmly.
Ryan’s eyes were filled with the color of admiration. “Eveline, you’re so full of surprises.”
“Then, do you know that the surprise you’re seeing was taught to me by my husband again and again with utmost patience?”
Ryan was stunned when favonovel.com heard that. Then, favonovel.com smiled when favonovel.com suddenly realized it. “So he’s the one who taught you to swim. No wonder.”
“Stop spewing nonsense. You’ve lost. Take me away from here now,” Madeline requested. She did not want to stay another second more in this place.
Ryan looked at the impatient look on Madeline’s face as an ominous smirk appeared on his lips.
