Chapter 119 The Millionaire

Peyton saw a naked, muscular body. Phillip’s skin was slightly darker than Nolan’s, with a bronze color.

Phillip had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his chest muscles were well–defined. Like Nolan,

he also had some wounds on his body.

As droplets of water trickled down Phillip’s well–defined abdomen, he appeared very charismatic.

Phillip held a fish basket, while the sunlight cast shimmering rays on the sea behind him. Though his

face was not visible, his thin jawline indicated that he was very pleased.

“What a great harvest it was.”

Phillip climbed ashore barefoot, and the seawater flowed down his cargo pants legs. With his

movement, his perfect abs were revealed.

Peyton instinctively averted his gaze and said, “I went to make a fire and grill the fish.”

“Well, I handled the innards. We were lucky and caught a few crabs.”

Peyton quickly picked up dead branches and dry firewood, then suddenly crouched down with the

firewood in her arms. She felt

nauseous.

Peyton was retching.

“What’s wrong?” Phillip, who was busy handling fish innards, rushed over and squatted on the ground,

anxiously looking at Peyton.

Peyton just retched a little. She rubbed her stomach, looking a bit pale, and then said, “It’s nothing. I’m

just feeling a bit uncomfortable, it’s an old problem.”

“Did it hurt a lot?”

A drop of water fell on Peyton’s face. She looked up and met Phillip’s concerned eyes above her, then

noticed the water droplet continuously dripping down his hair.

Peyton then realized that she was almost completely enveloped in Phillip’s arms, and his warmth mixed

with the moisture clung to her body. The atmosphere between the two gradually became ambiguous.

Although there was no physical contact between the two, the proximity still made Peyton feel

somewhat uncomfortable.

Phillip seemed to realize this as well. He quickly stepped back, and then Peyton replied, “It doesn’t

hurt. I just feel a bit nauseous.”

Laci learned that Peyton was not feeling well and came to visit her. Laci asked in dialect, “Where are

you feeling uncomfortable? Are you sick?”

Peyton shook her head. She knew she had a stomachache, and unfortunately, she had run out of her

stomach medicine and painkillers.

“I went to make some light food for you. Phillip, you went to the nearby islands to buy some medicine.”

“Phillip, I’m coming with you,” Eric said, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand before following.

Phillip hurriedly left with Eric, who had been talking nonstop. Laci held Peyton’s hand and said, “Don’t

worry. Even though the nearby islands don’t have abundant resources, we can still find stomach

medicine.”

Peyton looked at the sky. It was a beautiful day with clear skies and even the sea breeze was gentle.

However, Peyton felt extremely nervous and had a constant sense that something big was about to

happen.

The cherry trees on the hillside had already formed flower buds and would bloom in a few days. Rene

said that when the sea breeze blew, the entire island would be surrounded by cherry blossoms.

Especially on moonlit nights, if someone hangs a small lamp under the cherry blossom tree to enjoy the

moon, the scenery becomes incredibly beautiful.

Peyton originally had beautiful fantasies, but at this moment, he had no intention of waiting for the

flowers to bloom.

Phillip had already arrived at the nearby island. As soon as he stepped ashore, he noticed that the

atmosphere on Maden Island was different from usual, and there were several helicopters on the

island.

The nearby islands were very barren, and there were usually very few tourists. How could there be a

helicopter?

Eric was always friendly to strangers. He took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and

casually asked a passerby, “Sir, what’s going on? Did a wealthy person come here for tourism?”
