Chapter 385

In a stroke of fortune such as this, Milly could not possibly miss it. Swiftly, she plucked the goose barnacles from the mother shark’s side as well.

In the end, whether it was the barnacles on the great white shark’s body or its belly, she cleaned them all thoroughly. The great white shark’s mood visibly brightened.

With tender caress, Milly murmured, “There, free of barnacles now. I believer you’re more comfortable now. I’ll take these barnacles back to make great food. Win win for us.”

Buzz, buzz, buzz… replied the great white shark, flicking its tail to respond to her.

Meanwhile, the little white shark, ever dutiful in observation, cocked its head

Waving farewell to the great white shark, steadfast in its vigil from afar, she voiced, “Bye now. You should get back to your child.”

As she readied herself to turn away, a distant sight caught her eye…
