Chapter 13

"Wait, did an insect bite you? Your skin is red, Babe!"

"Huh?" He was confused by what Aubrey said.

When she approached him and removed his hand from his shoulder, his body froze.

"Look! Your skin is red. It's like being bitten by something!" She quickly scooped water into her palms and wet his shoulder.

"I can't see, is it really red?" Lester asked to make sure.

"Yeah. Where did you go?" the girl raised her eyebrows again and asked with suspicion to Lester.

He hesitantly pointed to the place where he stood earlier and responded with a lie, "I was just there watching you when I felt something bitten me. Maybe it's just an insect. Hehe." But he seemed to feel empty when he couldn't see Zeke where he was before when he pointed to the place.

"Let it be, it'll disappear here in the seawater." He pulled Aubrey by the hand and at the same time they plunged into the water. He felt the girl's arms curl around his body.
