Love Is Fair

Chapter 319

Chapter 319 Rose Island

It was quiet on the island, except for the loud sound of a woman crying.

Karl just held his sister with one hand. He didn’t stop her, but let her cry out loud.

He patted her on the back with the other hand as if she were a kitten in a temper tantrum.

He kept doing that until she had enough of crying and stopped.

Hailey had cried so much with tears and mucus flowing. She lifted her head from Karl’s shoulder, looked at him with her big watery eyes, sobbed, and complained, “What took you so long to get here…”

Tears started to come out of her eyes again. Her little face was red and cute, and her shoulders were shaking

slightly due to her sobbing.

“I thought I would never see you again…”

Seeing her aggrieved look, Karl chuckled and said slowly in his deep voice, “I’m here now, okay?”

Hailey sniffled and hmmed.

Then, she let go of Karl.

Karl put the cigar in his mouth, took off his suit coat to put it on Hailey, and raised his hand to wipe the tears. from under her eyes.

“Are you three years old, crying like that?”

Hailey glared at him with red eyes. “No, you are.”

She was talking back, so she had gotten over it.

With a smile in his blue eyes, Karl pulled out a starry blue square handkerchief from his coat pocket and handed

it to Hailey.

Hailey took it and wiped her tears and nose while she kept pouting slightly.

Karl pinched her little face. “Little crybaby.”

He handed the satellite phone to Hailey and said, “They were so worried about you at home. Call and tell them you’re safe now.”

Hailey obediently responded and took the satellite phone to call her fathers and brothers.

Jared and the others were going crazy. The moment they learned of the plane crash, they all tried to fly to

Engese for their sister, but Karl stopped them.

They were finally relieved to hear the news that Hailey was safe.

Karl had the crew taken away and the plane was salvaged from the Blue River.

Captain Saul had to go back for debriefing and cooperate with the authorities for investigation.

Karl and Saul didn’t talk much. They didn’t even look like friends. However, when Hailey saw them, she somehow felt that there was an unspeakable bond and tacit understanding between them.

When he left, Saul waved goodbye to Hailey. “Goodbye, Hailey.”

“Mr. Yerkes ”

Hailey called out to him and met his purplish, light-gray eyes. “I’ll send you a new copy of Love in the Time of

Cholera later.”

“No need.”

Saul suddenly patted his chest and smiled faintly, “It’s here.”

Hailey was stunned. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

He had been taking the book with him?

Saul was picked up by someone who came for him.

Karl raised his eyebrows slightly. “Love in the Time of Cholera?”

“Oh.” Hailey explained, “I had a book with me to read again on the plane, and Mr. Yerkes took it.” Karl’s blue eyes flickered. “I thought Hailey’s book was not to be borrowed?”

“So I gave it to him,” Hailey said justifiably.

Karl nodded. “Oh.”

“Yikes!”

Hailey suddenly shouted.

Speaking of the book, she thought of something else.

“What’s wrong?”

Karl wrinkled his eyebrows. She didn’t change at all after growing up, just like a child.

Hailey stared at Karl with her big innocent eyes. The corners of her mouth twitched, looking like she was going

to cry. “Karl… my self-criticism was left on the plane.”

And that plane had been salvaged and taken away by the authorities.

The point was that her backpack was not waterproof!

So, the 3000-word self-criticism that she had worked so hard on was… destroyed just like that.

Now Hailey really wanted to cry.

Her self-criticism!

Karl looked at her quietly with his blue eyes. It seemed that he didn’t quite believe it. “Did you really write it?” “Yes, I did! Really!”

Hailey was more sincere than ever and stammered anxiously. “I’m telling the truth… Saul… Mr. Yerkes watched me write it. You can ask him if you don’t believe me!”

Seeing how anxious she was, Karl laughed secretly without showing it on his face.

“Saul watched you write it?”

“Yeah!”

Hailey said, “He can testify for me.”

“Hmm.”

Karl took a puff of his cigar and with the smell of tobacco, he asked in a magnetic, deep voice, “What have you written? Do you remember the details?”

Thinking of the three thousand words she had pieced together, Hailey immediately became sheepish, but said

with conviction, “Yes… I do.”

“Then you can tell me when we get back.”

Hailey was surprised. “What?”

It was too hard for her.

“Maybe…” She braced herself and suggested, “I’ll just write a new one.”

Seeing what his sister was like, Karl finally curved his lips in a smile and stroked her hair. “Silly girl, since you know it’s wrong, don’t do it again. Forget about the self-criticism.”

“Really?” Hailey jumped up happily when she heard that she didn’t have to do the self-criticism. “Yeah! Thank you so much, Karl!”

Karl curved his lips and watched his sister bouncing in front of him, feeling like they were back in their

childhood.

Fortunately, she survived.

They were all alive and well.

“Karl, let’s go then.”

Hailey put Karl’s suit coat on properly and got ready to leave the island.

Karl said, “Now that we’re here, why don’t we take a look around your Rose Island?”

Hailey was stunned. “Whose island?”

“Yours.”

Karl put out his cigar, held the back of her neck gently with one hand, and took her inside.

Hailey blinked and asked in disbelief, “This is the island you gave me? The work has already been done on it? What did you just call it? Rose Island?”

No wonder she felt very familiar as soon as she arrived on this island.

For her twenty-fifth birthday, Karl had bought her an island and shown her pictures of it. However, it hadn’t bee decorated at that time and looked bare everywhere.

When Karl asked her what she wanted it to look like, she used her wild imagination and said, “It has to have a

nice little house, an outdoor swimming pool, a beach, maple trees, lounge chairs, and all that…”

“Oh yes, it’s better to have a flower bed full of roses.”

“Like red roses, yellow roses… I wonder if we can grow some blue roses.”

To her surprise, Karl made everything she had said back then come true for her.

“Karl.”

Hailey called him softly before she jumped onto his back like a little monkey in a flash, screaming with happiness, “I love you so much!”

Karl was speechless.

He told himself to put up with it. She was his sister after all.

Rose Island was really beautiful.
