Although those pirates were criminals from various countries, irredeemable and deserving of death, he still dared
not tell the truth. “Really? Are you injured? Letsee.” Willow approached him again.
“No!” Jasper took a step back as he was afraid of getting her dirty. “What are you doing? Don’t hide from me.
Cwithto the ship and take a shower,” she commanded as she grabbed his arm and pulled him to the
ship.
He had no choice but to let her lead him, and the people standing nearby sighed with admiration. Even the
formidable Jasper could not withstand Willow's anger.
In the room, he went to shower while she sat on the couch and finally calmed down; her worry earlier was
genuine. After he finished showering, he opened the bathroom door. He had forgotten to bring clean clothes with
him as he was influenced by her emotions, so he had to cout wrapped in a bath towel.

With his body still emitting heat, he tied the towel around his waist, and his well-defined abs and perfect
physique were fully outlined under the light. It exuded a charming allure.
Willow blinked while directly admiring the scene before her. She suddenly felt a bit dry in her mouth and tongue-
tied. However, there was one thing she needed to do, and that was to examine if he had any new injuries. So,
she stood up and walked toward him. His breathing becslightly rapid, and he told her, “Why don’t you wait
outside?”
She raised her eyebrows. “Why? Can't | take a look?” “There's nothing worth seeing.” His gaze swept around the
room as he looked for his clothes. No matter how good his physique was, he felt a lack of confidence after being
stared at by this girl, growing insecure.
“I'm just checking to see if you're injured,” Willow said while her eyes focused on the upper half of his body. She
found no injuries but noticed a water droplet falling from his hair. It rolled down his chest and reached his waist
before disappearing into his sexy Adonis belt and being absorbed by the towel.
That scene was incredibly impactful. His muscles seemed to be sculpted and looked exceptionally attractive. She
even sensed the hormone-laden air, and her face finally turned red as a wave of shyness rushed over her.
“You... Put on sclothes!” Willow turned around as her heartbeat accelerated and quickly left the room. She
went to the refrigerator in the hall and took out a bottle of cold water before drinking it. I'm so thirsty. Why
am/thirsty?
After a while, Jasper emerged from the room upon dressing himself. He wore a casual black T-shirt with black
pants, radiating a clean and refreshing young man vibe. She handed the water to him. “Are you thirsty? Drink
some.”
Under the light, he noticed her eyes were red as though she had cried. Did she cry? He wondered while drinking
the water. “Letknow where you're going next time, or leave a message. Don’t makeworry, okay?” Willow
requested earnestly.

Jasper nodded and promised. “Okay!” She smiled, and her pink cheeks appeared rosy and charming while her
clear, watery eyes filled with joy under the light.
He felt a tightness in his abdomen as a strong electric current surged in his chest. Flustered, he lowered his
gaze, not daring to reveal this burning sentiment. Truth be told, he was overwhelmed facing the girl's bright and
unwavering affection.
Perhaps he had never borne such a radiant light in his heart since childhood. At that moment, an uninvited team
member cup the ship, informing, “We're out of water downstairs, and I'm here to get smore.”
“I'll help,” Jasper said as he turned to Willow. “Let's go.”
He and the team member each carried a box of water bottles and went downstairs, where she followed them to
the camping site. The night had been dreadful, with so many incidents unfolding, and the whole team had
experienced different shocks. Therefore, everyone had gone into their tents to call it a day.
