Chapter 0394 Chapter 0394 When Victor received Suzy's call on the plane, telling him to cback and pick up Dylan, he thought he must have been dreaming, his longing for Dylan playing tricks on him.
Even now, seeing Dylan standing before him, he still found it a little hard to believe.
To test his reality, he quickly stepped forward and pinched Dylan's arm. "Does it hurt?" Dylan frowned. "What do you think?" "If it hurts, then I'm not dreaming!" Victor declared, before suddenly pulling Dylan into a tight hug. "Dylan, you scaredhalf to death! I knew it! You're not the type to go down so easily!" Irritated by Victor's antics, Dylan shoved him away with a scowl. "If you've got something to say, just say it. Keep your hands to yourself." "Oh, look at you! 'Dead' for a few days, and now you're all dignified?" Victor teased with a grin. "What happened to those days when we used to share the sbed?" The more Dylan resisted, the more Victor leaned into being annoying, reaching out again to poke him.

Sensing that Dylan might actually be angry, Victor backed off with a shrug. "Alright, alright, I'll stop! So touchy. I swear, if it were Suzy hugging you instead of me, you'd probably be over the moon." Hearing her name, Suzy gave Victor an annoyed glance. "Take him back first. I've got something to take care of." "What is it?" Victor asked instinctively. "Need my help?" Before Suzy could answer, Dylan spoke up firmly. "I'll wait for you.
Seeing his determination, Suzy didn't argue. "Fine, if you're set on waiting, then wait." With that, she began putting on her diving gear Victor watched her, then turned to Dylan. "She's putting on diving equipment. Is that what she meant by having something to take care of? Seriously, at a tlike this?" Dylan kept his eyes on Suzy, not even turning to acknowledge Victor, as though he hadn't heard a word.. Victor stood there in silence, scratching his head. Was it just his imagination, or did Dylan seem... different than before? 1/2 Chapter 0394 In the past, while Dylan had always been cold and distant, he never ignored Victor's presence quite like this. Following Dylan's directions, Suzy dove to the deepest part of the sea, searching for the spot he described. But no matter how hard she looked, there was nothing there. She searched several times without success.
Finally, she located the mechanism Dylan had mentioned. Just as he said, activating it revealed a passage that led straight to the island. Suzy scoured every corner inside and out, but there was no sign of Claude's body. When she returned to where Dylan and Victor were waiting, she announced, "I didn't find anything." Her sudden appearance startled Victor. "Didn't you just dive into the water? How are you suddenly behind us?" They had been waiting by the shore, and after not seeing her surface for a long time, Victor had almost thought something had happened to her.
Realizing the implications, Victor's eyes widened. "So there really is a hidden mechanism?" Neither Suzy nor Dylan answered his question.
Dylan, in particular, ignored him entirely and walked straight toward Suzy. "Is it possible that the fishes...?"
After a pause, he added, "It's been several days, after all. And I already confirmed that he was dead. In the whilead.
following days, while I was hiding in the passage, if he had been playing dead, he would've had to pass through there. Knowing how much he hated me, there's no way he would've letlive long enough to see you. Though Dylan didn't finish his thought, Suzy understood his meaning.

He was right. After so many days, it was entirely possible that Claude's body had been that torn apart by fishes.
And yet, she had foolishly clung to the idea of giving him a proper burial.
Everything should end here.
She turned to Dylan and Victor and said, "Let's go."
Dylan nodded. As the helicopter lifted off, his gaze lingered on a particular spot on the island. His expression grew darker, his thoughts increasingly unreadable. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
