The Islet Mystery 34

Shiela returned to the bed and tried to shut up her mind for a moment. She must have a clear mind later to plan things out. After a while, the side of the bed dipped, and she knew that Ryan was back. He was silent for a long while, his fingers brushing her hair.

"Don't you want to see them off?" Ryan finally broke his silence as he lifted up her chin.

"Who?" she asked, her voice let out a sleepy tone.

"Richard and his team."

Shiela sat up abruptly and scrambled to her feet, throwing the bed cover off. Ryan held her hand as her feet searched for the pair of slippers on the floor.
