    Eason remained silent and appeared quite despondent. Joel also remained quiet, appearing lost in deep thought.


    As a tourist on the cruise, Maverick lost his family and witnessed a massacre. He hid away, silently weeping,


    Rachel''splexion appeared pallid, apanied by intermittent coughing.


    "Rachel''s running a fever, putting her at risk of infection. She must take antibiotics." Maverick, the doctor, quickly noticed that something was amiss with Rachel. He immediately rushed to assess her condition.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Zion grew nervous and immediately stepped forward, gently touching Rachel''s head. "Why didn''t you tell me you were unwell?"


    Rachel shook her head, her eyes teary. "I didn''t want you to worry..."


    I sped my hands together and took a step forward. "The medical capsule on this cruise ship is fully equipped with a wide range of medicines. Just tell me what you need and I''ll go get it."


    "It''s too dangerous outside," Maverick replied anxiously.


    Venturing outside was like risking one''s life. It was surely chaotic out there. With supplies only essible through a room card, they had to be controlling the medicine too. Those in need of medicine for a headache or fever would have to visit the medical capsule. The medical capsule at present was unquestionably perilous.


    "I''m uncertain about when this cruise ship will be able to dock, and I''m not even sure if it can dock. We can''t afford to prolong her condition any further," I dered seriously.


    Despite the tremendous danger, I feltpelled to go. Rachel''s life was at stake, and I couldn''t bear to lose my best friend. As I caught a glimpse of Rachel, her eyes became filled with tears. She closed her eyes, seemingly devoid of strength.


    She desperately wanted to say something, but it appeared that the words simply eluded her.


    "I''ming with you guys." Zion was certain that I would go with Steven.


    "No, it''s too dangerous for just you guys to go. It would be best for everyone to go together." Eason insisted as he stretched and nced at Joel.


    Joel regained hisposure and nodded affirmatively. "Sure. Let''s go together."


    Eason was quite astute and recognized that Maverick couldn''t be left alone. After all, as an outsider, he couldn''t be fully trusted. "You''re a doctor. Come with us. Otherwise, we wouldn''t know which medicines to take."


    "I... I can''t do it. It''s too dangerous, and I''ll hold you back," Maverick rejected nervously.


    He was visibly scared. "Besides, I can still take care of her if I stay. Don''t worry, I''ll never leave this room until youe back."


    I nced at Zion and checked the time. "I''ll bring Ashton and Xan over. Xandra should''ve finished her bath by now. Let''s bring them here to keep Rachpany."


    I didn''t trust Maverick, but I could trust the two children. From my perspective, I saw that Maverick didn''t harbor any serious malice. He was simply timid and afraid of death. It was fine to let him stay.


    Steven nodded and went to pick up Xandra and the two children. "There''s food and water in this room. Remember, no matter what happens, do not leave the room until wee back, and do not open the door for anyone. Do you understand?"


    Xandra nodded.


    Steven crouched down and gazed at Ashton. "You''re a brother and a man. You must protect your sister, yourself, and Rachel. She''s your mom''s best friend. Do you understand?"


    Rachel''s eyes gleamed with excitement. It was as if a surge of energy had revitalized her. She sat up with her arms propped up. She looked at the two children in shock. "How long was I unconscious? What have I missed?"


    After saying that, she rubbed her eyes and said, "These two kids look so much like you both."


    I smiled and proudly introduced, "These are my newborn son and daughter. I''ve just be a mother without experiencing any pain. They''re able to walk straight after being born."


    Rachel was utterly astonished. "I can''t believe it..."


    Ashton politely introduced himself to Rachel. "Hello, Rachel. My name is Ashton Lincoln, and my sister''s name is Xandra Carlson."


    Rachel was filled with excitement as she looked at me. "I''ll take great care of them. Please stay safe and return as soon as you can."


    I nodded and nced at Steven and the others. "Everyone must return safely."


    "The pharmacy is located beneath the medical capsule. To reach the pharmacy, we have to go through the medical capsule. It''s going to be a tough challenge," Joel said in a hushed tone.


    I realized that going to the medical capsule this time was a narrow escape. With Rachel''s persistent high fever, we couldn''t stand by and watch her sumb to the infection.
