"Where is mason and others.." Alexander asked, his facial expressions was tense When he suddenly remembered his friends.
"They are fine" Coral raised her head from his arms and said looking in his eyes "trust me They are"
Alexander nodded, His heart finally put down as he looked at fluffy head on his chest.
He felt so right! Like she belongs to his arms.
However he took deep breath she was only Sixteen, he shouldn't thought that like about her.
Their Night was spent accompanied by Mosquitoes and heavy rain and thunders.
The next day, at four o'clock in the morning, Alexander woke up to the sound of a helicopter.
He gently laid Coral down, making her lean against the cave wall. Quickly, he took off his shirt, wrapped it around a stick, and walked toward the cave entrance. The weather was clear, but water was everywhere, inviting various diseases.
In haste, he set his shirt on fire and waved it in the air to catch the helicopter's attention.
"Boss, look over there! There's a fire," someone from the team said. James's eyes lit up as he spotted the flames.
"Lower the helicopter quickly," James ordered, feeling a mix of tension and happiness.
"Yes, boss!" the captain shouted happily.
They lowered the helicopter carefully, the cave entrance high above the ground. James looked through the door at the cave, his heart pounding.
"ALEXANDER!" he shouted, his usually cold demeanor replaced by a wave of fear and hope. The thought of losing his son made his heart ache.
Hearing his father's voice, Alexander's hand started to shake, waking Coral from her sleep. She sleepily followed Alexander as he threw a stick into the cave.
"DAD, IT'S ME!" Alexander shouted back. Tears welled up in James' eyes, and a huge weight lifted from his chest as he saw his son.
"Send down the ladder," James commanded. The helicopter ladder appeared, swaying slightly in the wind.
"Coral, you climb first," Alexander said. Coral nodded and started climbing, followed closely by Alexander. The cold air whipped around them as they climbed quickly.
"Alex!" James hugged Alexander tightly, emotion overwhelming him. He then looked at Coral, who stood there with big, blue eyes.
"Come here," James said softly. Coral walked over, and James patted her head gently.
***
James had blocked all news about Alexander being stuck in the tsunami.
As soon as they landed, he rushed Alexander and Coral to the hospital to check for any injuries or diseases.
"My baby," Sofia cried as she entered Alexander's ward. He was now wearing a hospital gown. "Do you know how worried I was? I thought I might lose you."
"Mom, look, I'm fine," Alexander said, wiping her tears as Sofia hugged him tightly, crying silently.
"Alex," Nolan said gently, his voice filled with relief. "We've all been so worried about you. Thank God you're okay."
Alexander nodded, feeling the weight of their concern.
Sofia wiped her tears with the back of her hand. "Rest well, Alex. I'm going to visit Coral." He nodded, watching her leave as Nolan followed behind.
Coral's ward was right next to Alexander's, so they entered it quickly. Coral was sitting by the window, her big blue eyes staring blankly outside. Her long hair flowed freely, making her look like an ethereal doll. Seeing them enter, a cute smile appeared on her face.
"Aunty." Coral said softly.
Nolan looked at Coral blankly. She looked so cute, just like he had imagined his daughter would look if he ever had one. But the love of his life had passed away, and he never had any interest in a second marriage.
"She is Coral, brother," Sofia said, turning towards Coral. "And he is my brother Nolan."
"Uncle." Coral spoke softly, and Nolan's heart melted at her smile.
He once read that if a person has dimples, it means their cheeks were kissed by angels.
A smile appeared on his face as he stepped forward. "Are you okay, child? It must have been hard." he said softly.
Sofia looked at him with wide eyes; she never expected him to like Coral at first sight. An idea came to her mind.
Her brother had always wanted a daughter...
Sofia hugged Coral, kissing her forehead. "Thank God you're okay, sweetie! I was so worried about all of you. Now that I see you're fine, my heart can finally rest."
"But I still don't get it. How did Aria Mason and the others survive, and who put them in such high places?" Hearing Sofia, Coral stiffened.
"I don't know," Coral said, shaking her head.
"No worries, it was like a miracle. Or maybe someone saved them." Sofia said, pulling Coral's cheeks gently.
