Chapter 16: Pushed Overboard (2)
The cruise ship "Sweet Roman" has long since broken down and stopped the process.
With the help of the group, Triton and Demos carried the unconscious Kareta to the first deck.
Terry stood alone as everyone surrounded the prospective newcomer for a while, his eyes vigilantly looking at the tidal sea, and his facial features gradually condensed into a worried expression.
Cali was holding Demos's dress and blouse in both hands, and saw Demos boarding the cruise ship wet and facing the wind, and hurried to the front of the crowd.
Just wanted to put on a coat for him, but he didn't show any mercy, and pushed her away angrily in public, indifferently picking up Kareta and Terry into a cabin on the first floor.
The attendant Noah stood alone outside the cabin door, stopping the reporters who tried to break in.
Demos carefully placed Carette on the bed.
"Let me do it!" Terry volunteered.
Demos nodded at him and stepped aside. He believed that Triton's Sea Clan spells would be more effective than his own dark powers, and that Karet's discomfort would be dispelled from being drenched.
Triton walked to the bed, and then stretched out his left arm, spreading the breath of the divine power source in his body.
A stinging blue light erupted between his left palm, rotating around his hand in the form of a rolling band of light, repeating itself over and over again.
Triton moved closer to Karette and gently placed his unquenchable left hand on Karette's chest. Immediately, the band of light stretched out to cover her entire body.
Carette let out one or two uncomfortable moans ~ in her coma.
Terry's face turned, and his expression became grim.
He twisted his left wrist with all his might, and in a single moment, Karete's body shrugged violently, and she opened her mouth and spat out several mouthfuls of seawater.
The blue light seemed to sink into her body, and she slowly opened her eyes, and her sallow face had some pink color.
The blue light that had infiltrated her body was the essence of Terry's own divine power, and he had deliberately injected them into Karete's body to replenish her stamina and make her feel more comfortable when she woke up.
"How are you? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you......"
Seeing that she woke up, Triton whispered an apology to her.
He thinks that if he hadn't left her or taken her to the bar to get a drink, maybe he wouldn't have had this accident.
Demos also nervously leaned over.
Carreta expressed her gratitude to Terry when she saw that Triton was soaked and could not imagine what would happen after she had fallen into the sea.
"It was my own carelessness. Thank you for saving me, Triton. ... Demos ......"
Then, she struggled to sit up while calling Demos's name, followed by a cough.
"Be careful...... I'll go find the casual clothes you brought in a moment, and you'll have to change your clothes. ”
Demos helped her to sit down, let her back against the soft pillow that stood at the head of the bed, and pulled the sheet at the foot of the bed to wrap her clammy body, and leaned against her side immediately after.
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault, I messed up your elaborate ceremony...... Ahem!"
Carette was too late to repent, and because of the aftermath of the shock just now, she threw herself on the chest of Demos, who was also wet, and began to cry.
Demos hugged her and kept comforting: "Don't be afraid... It's okay......"
"God of Darkness, my spell has forced out all the sea water in Kareta's chest, lungs, and abdomen. But to be on the safe side, you still need to go to a human hospital for a check-up. ”
Triton proposed to Demos.
"No problem, the cruise ship has returned to Athens. As soon as we landed, we went to the nearest hospital. ”
As Demos replied to Terry, a question suddenly came to mind, and he lowered his head and asked the person in his arms in a warm voice:
"But Karete, how did you fall into the sea without a sound, and what are you doing in the stern?"
"I ......"
Carette didn't dare to look up at Demos, lest he see the panic on her face.
After a quick weighing of the pros and cons, she finally decided to settle the matter.
Although the feeling of being pushed a second before falling into the sea was very real, after all, there was no effective evidence.
The people who attended today's ceremony were either Demos's business partners or his friends in the academic world, and if they were to be investigated, I am afraid that the blow would be too great.
In addition, a considerable number of media reporters are also there, and it will not be of substantial benefit to anyone if they continue to make trouble.
The most important point is Jose!
To this day, Kareta felt that he was not a phantom in front of her at that time, and that she was still in a real dream.
All the experiences in the human world from the holy mountain are dreams, all the happiness, all the sorrows, all the laughter and all the tears, they are all too real dreams to be true, and I have always been in this illusion and cannot get out—
Carette buried her head in Demos's chest, and her voice made up a lie:
"I feel stuffy, so I want to go to a quieter place to breathe. Can be high heels... Ahem... It's not too powerful, and it ...... when my feet slip."
"Are you...... Fell into the sea by yourself?"
Demos was skeptical of Carette's explanation, and wanted to continue asking, but he felt her body trembling against his chest. She couldn't stop coughing because she choked on the seawater.
So he changed his mind, just put his arm around her and comforted her, and landed multiple kisses on the top of her head.
After two hours of clean clothes, the cruise ship docked back to the pier where it departed in the morning.
As soon as he landed, Demos, Noah, and Terry rushed to the city general hospital with Carret.
Fortunately, as Triton said, there was no water in Karetta's internal organs. The doctor gave her an anti-inflammatory injection and arranged a bed in the intensive care unit for her to stay in the hospital for observation for one night.
Some media and newspaper reporters followed Demos's car to the hospital, still clinging to the focus of the news of "the bride-to-be falling into the water", and crowded to the door of the ward to grab the news.
It was already evening when Demos and Noah intercepted the reporters outside the hospital room and finally sent them all away in a high-sounding manner.
Demos leaned wearily against a cold wall, bowed his head and rubbed the sore acupuncture points between his brows with the thumb and forefinger of his left hand.
Raising his head again, he saw that Cali, the goddess of blood, was standing in front of him silently, her eyes seemed to be fixed on the shiny wedding ring on his left ring finger, and a smug smile on her face.
"You did this today?"
Seeing her gloating appearance, Demos immediately became angry again, and seeing that there were only the two of them in the hospital corridor, he no longer angrily questioned her with a black face.
"What are you kidding to suspect me, I'll be there for you when something happens!" Cali retorted with a grim face.
"Do you still need to do it yourself? It's not the first time you've done it!" Demos insisted.
"I don't want to think about it, even if I did it to her in the past, but now she is the key to breaking the seal of the gem, what good will it do me if she has three longs and two shorts?"
Cali's denial calmed Demos down, and his tense facial features gradually normalized during his contemplation.
Cali had a point, she had always regarded divine power as more important than anything else, and she cared more about the Athena gem than any other god. Then, once Kareta, who is closely related to the gem and has an accident, her nervousness and worry are probably no worse than that of Tademos.
Originally, Demos simply thought that Cali was jealous of women and wanted to deliberately find an opportunity to reorganize Karette and disrupt the engagement ceremony.
Now that everything had figured out, he had to admit that he was wrong to blame Cali.
"Sister, I'm sorry! I was wrong......"
After apologizing to Cali, Demos turned his face away, slammed the iron fist of his right hand against the wall, and sighed heavily.
Looking at his sad appearance, Cali's heart was angry and painful.
"Hmph! It's just that she gets engaged and gets messed up, she's destined to be an ominous woman!"
With this sinister mouth, Cali turned and walked towards the exit of the visitor's passage.
"Dada" ......
The empty hallways of the hospital were left with nothing but the feeble figure of Demos's back bent and the crisp sound of Cali's slender heels hitting the hard ground as he departed.
In the hospital room, Terry stood by Karet's bedside.
"Can you tell me the truth? Kareta, how the hell did you fall into the sea?"
Terry held Kareta's hands with a sincere gaze.
From the outset, he also sensed that Carette's explanation was too simplistic and far-fetched. As a god, he didn't believe that Karet's sense of precaution and self-protection could be so poor. With the strength of half of her own Sea Clan bloodline, it was impossible not to help such a calm ocean.
He wanted to know the whole truth.
Carreta didn't want to deliberately hide Triton. It's just that things are strange, and she doesn't know how to tell him about seeing Jose's figure.
And after all kinds of things, she also knew that now that Demos and Terry had become inseparable friends, she was afraid that Triton would turn around and tell Demos that she was pushed into the sea, and then Demos refused to give up and continued to investigate.
As soon as the door to the ward moved, Carreta saw her attendant Noah walk in. He carried a couple of food boxes in his hand and brought dinner to Carreta and them.
"I... I really accidentally slipped into the sea... It's all my own carelessness, I just want to see the waves rolled up by the propellers, so I fell down......"
Carette pursed her lips and eventually lied to Triton.
"Well... You need to be careful in the future. ”
Terry let out a long sigh of relief, secretly glad that his nerves were too sensitive.
The moment he rescued Kareta from the cruise ship, he seemed to sense that something was wrong.
At that time, why did the sea suddenly rise in the wind and waves, and what was the terrifying premonition that seemed to be turning into hell?
Triton seemed to have a very bad concern, but now listening to Carret's answer, his uneasy heart calmed down a little.
Perhaps, at that time, I was really a frightened bird-
Triton looked at the silent wall on the wall, it was getting late.
He stood up from the round chair and said goodbye to Carette:
"Rest well, be careful. There's still school tomorrow and I have to go. Please contact me if you need my help. ”
"Thank you. ”
Carette was a little reluctant, and took his hand again before watching him walk out of the room.
