Harvey smiled but didn't say anything more. He calmed down and pieced together everything that had transpired
before they arrived here.
It was Jodie who directed those so-called doctors, injecting Toph's neck while he was distracted, then letting those
people subdue him. After that, he lost consciousness and woke up lying there. He knew that Jodie wanted to put him
in a life-threatening situation, but he hadn't expected her to be so insane, daring even to lay a finger on a
Hamerton!
Toph struggled to move, feeling sore all over.
"There's a needle mark on your neck." Harvey leaned over to check and said, "It's slightly swollen. Based on the
swelling, it hasn't been more than 24 hours. It also means that it hasn't been 24 hours since we arrived."
"How do you know?" Toph was surprised.

head, smiling at him.
"Jodie... won't starve us to death here, right?"
"Are you scared?"
"Duh!" Toph raised his voice suddenly. "I have parents, a brother, a wife! I don't want to die young! Besides, even if
we die, it shouldn't be without explanation and in the hands of such a despicable person!"
Harvey stared at him, feeling indescribable emotions inside. After a while, he spoke softly. "Don't worry. I won't let
you die."
Toph slumped down, scratching his head. However, the moment he crouched down, his belt pricked him. He
suddenly froze, and something flashed through his mind like lightning...
"Harvey!" He exclaimed excitedly, "We won't die here! We won't!"
Harvey frowned and hurriedly covered his mouth, signaling urgently.
"Speak softly! Be careful. The walls have ears. If they hear us, we won't be able to escape!"
Toph chuckled, lowering his voice to a mere whisper. "How did you know I was going to talk about escaping?"
He pointed to the metal buckle on his belt, which had a special setting. When he touched a certain part, the buckle
popped open, revealing a gleaming object that was only the size of a fingernail.
"This is..."
"This is my secret weapon!" Toph grinned mysteriously. "Don't worry. My brother will come to rescue us soon!"
Maisie stayed on Rose Island with Persephone.
Persephone was curious about everything around her, especially on such a beautiful island. She was so engrossed
in playing that she forgot to wonder why her parents hadn't come to pick her up.
Whitney liked the little princess. The old and the young often spent the whole day playing by the seaside.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPersephone loved listening to Whitney's stories, which she found a hundred times better than any mermaid story
she had ever heard.
In Whitney's stories, Anya's name always came up.
"Why do you always mention her?" Persephone propped up her chin, her big eyes innocent and pure. "Is she your
daughter?"
"No." Whitney smiled and stroked her head. "She was my proudest student."
"Did she die?"
"Yes..."
"Does she watch us from heaven?"
Whitney paused, unsure how to respond.
Persephone's innocent gaze always brought a sense of ease. "Professor Granny, she will watch over you from
heaven! She was your proudest student, and you must be her proudest teacher, just like... Ms. Squire. She's my
proudest teacher!"
