At that moment, Natalie finally understood the feeling embodied by the statement on the internet that went along the lines of “My white knight will come to my rescue on horseback.”

While Shane didn't come on horseback, he was piloting a titanic cruise ship to rescue her and bring her home.

In the living room downstairs, Jacqueline was momentarily taken aback when she heard the horn of a cruise ship.

Hmm? What's happening here? Why is there the sound of a cruise ship? Is Sean back? Or is a cruise ship sailing past this area?

Her eyes narrowed a fraction, and the apprehension within her mounted. Her heartbeat accelerated significantly to the point that she could even hear it pounding against her ribcage.

No, it's probably not Sean. It's most likely a cruise ship sailing past by coincidence. After all, this area isn't all that far from international waters. It's only about a hundred nautical miles, and when converted, three hundred over kilometers. There's a gigantic casino with worldwide acclaim on international waters, so many rich people go there to have fun and enjoy themselves. Therefore, it's not entirely impossible that they're taking this route to head there.

But just then, the housekeeper, Marina, dashed out of the kitchen. With her eyes fixated on Jacqueline, she shrieked, “It's bad, Miss! A cruise ship is heading right for the island!”

“What? Heading right for the island without detouring?” Jacqueline's expression changed drastically.
