Chapter 70

"Ahh! My wifey looks so beautiful in that tight dress!" The professor drooled. Some of it dripped on the back of my seat. Eww.

"Prof. Dog, focus!" I wanted to slap him.

He snapped out of it. "Oh right. I was supposed to deliver some news, woof."

"Make it quick because Kiel will be back soon."

"Mr. Shark is in critical condition, woof. He's alive, but barely alive. You get the point."

Isuru is alive!

"Do you think he'll survive?" I asked.

"Mr. Shark is strong, but I'm not sure if he can survive this one, woof." He looked like he was frowning.

"He'll… make it," I said, hoping my words would come true.

"Yeah. He would probably want to live to see you again, woof."

"Are you here to take me away and bring me back to Aqua Chrysalis?" I asked hoping the answer was a yes.

Prof. Dog paused for a moment. "No, woof."

"Why not?!"

"I can't take you yet. Not yet. It's not safe. You're safest here with my wifey."

"Prof. Dog, I'm about to be married off to someone who isn't Mr. Shark!"
