The waiter turned to Luca, “Madame, what do you think?"
“It's good," replied Luca.
“Okay. Thank you for your reviews. Here are some souffle glaces for you. I wish the two of you much love and
happiness." The waiter picked up the plate of souffle glaces on the tray and placed it on the table. Then, he turned
around and left.
Luca was lost in her thoughts as she stared at the souffle glaces on the table. Would she and Luke be able to live a
happy life together?
Should she tell Luke the truth after she finds the antidote? Would she be able to attack Abel with Luke's help?
However, if things turned out that way, what would happen to Eler and Nyla, who were on the Island of Despair?
Luca felt crushed. She had done so many things that were detrimental to the interests of T Corporation and Watson
Biopharmaceuticals. Would Luke forgive her if he found out about that?
“What's on your mind?" Luke picked up a souffle glace and placed it on her plate.
“Nothing," said Luca, coming back to her senses.
“Have some. It tastes better while it's warm." Luke noticed that Luca was preoccupied while staring at the souffle
glace. He knew Luca must be thinking about the future.
“Alright." Luca took a bite of the souffle glace and recalled what the waiter said to them. She secretly muttered to
herself that she hoped so too.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe hoped that she could still be together with Luke after what they would be going through and after they
overcame the obstacles.
She also hoped that Nyla could come back to her father and grow up happily.
On the Island of Despair.
Eler was teaching Nyla to read. The alphabet cards that she used were the ones Amur brought back here from the
off-island.
“Ms. Eler, isn't my mother a citizen of A City? Why am I learning Russian?" asked Nyla in confusion, holding the
Russian alphabet card in her hand.
Eler stroked the little girl's head, “It's because we're in Russia now. Besides, I only know how to speak English, but I
can't read."
Eler learned how to speak English from Luca, after knowing her for three years. Yet, she had no idea how to read
nor write English words.
She would not teach Nyla something she did not know so that she would not mislead her.
“Umm, but I'd like to learn English." Nyla toyed with the card. “Learning Russian isn't fun at all. I know how to speak
Russian."
Eler heaved a sigh. Nyla was smart, and she could speak Russian eloquently. She also knew how to speak English.
Even though the kid knew how to speak, she did not know how to write or recognize letters.
Luca was not on the island either. Hence, Eler could only teach Nyla Russian, but she could not teach her English as
Eler did not understand the letters either...
“Nyla, let's wait for Mommy to come back and teach you English, okay? Let's learn Russian first. See, you don't
even know how to spell these yet," persuaded Eler patiently.
Now that Luca and Amur were out there. She was the only one looking after Nyla. Thus, she had to take good care
of herself.
Nyla rolled her eyes and suddenly rose to her feet. She wrapped her chubby arms around Eler's neck, “Ms. Eler,
Uncle Shanks knows how to speak English. Why don't we go look for him?"
Eler let out a helpless sigh as she looked at Nyla's little round eyes. “You wanted to play games with Uncle Shanks,
right?"
Nyla smiled at her and clapped her hands. "Ms. Eler, you're pretty smart. It's boring to sit here and look at the
cards. There's so much interesting stuff at Uncle Shank's place. Why don't we head there?"
“No, Mr. Shanks is busy with his research lately. We shouldn't disturb him." Eler shook her head and stopped Nyla.
Even though Nyla did not spend much time together with Shanks, the little girl seemed to be fond of him.
She would always look for Shanks when she had the chance.
Although Eler could stop her, the little girl would be unhappy about it.
“Ms. Eler." Nyla heaved a sigh. “I'm bored."
“Then let's stop learning. Why don't we play some board games?" Eler took a board game out. It was also
something that Amur got for the child when he was out there.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere were no toys on the island.
When Amur brought them back, they checked the toys and made sure that there were no signaling devices,
surveillance cameras, or any other devices, only then they allowed him to bring them into the island.
“Nah, this isn't fun at all." Nyla was already tired of it.
Eler forced a smile. Sure enough, no matter how interesting a toy was, the kids would always get tired of it after
playing with it for a while.
It was more suitable for Nyla to grow up in the outside world.
Still, would Nyla be able to get out of here?
Eler let out a sigh.
“Ms. Eler, why don't we bring the board game along with us and look for Uncle Shanks? There's nothing fun on this
island. I'm sure he has never played this before." Nyla blinked her eyes. All she had in mind was Shanks.
Eler wanted to say yes, but they would probably run into someone else if they went out.
Those people were up to no good.
Furthermore, those people were always training and striving to reach higher. It would be a bad influence on Nyla to
see those people carrying knives, guns, or any other weapons with them.
Besides, Eler was afraid of running into Abel...
Abel reminded Eler of Luca whenever Nyla saw him.
