Chapter 100
Seeing that his sister was safe, Hatton had a faint sense of relief on his expressionless face . His bloodshot eyes were halted immediately by his deep frown . "Trish, I hope that you remember this lesson . "
He patted Trish and Tina's back softly and pushed the two girls away . He walked to the deck in big steps toward the man who was clearly the boat's owner .
"Sir, you have saved my dearest sister, and also my mother who is still lying sick on the bed . I can't tell you how thankful I am…" Hatton clenched his teeth to prevent himself from tearing up . He raised his chin high, but his tears eventually flowed . "Please forgive my misbehavior, I… I…"
"Mr . Hatton said he's grateful for you saving his sister, he said he's misbehaving in front of you…" The interpreter did his job just when his feet landed after being lifted onto the boat by a cable tied around his waist .
"You don't have to interpret . I have kids, too, how could I not tell what he's talking about . Sigh, damn it . It's hard for adults from all countries to…"
"No, Mr . Xiong, Mr . Hatton is Ms . Trish's brother…"
"Are you Chinese? An elder brother is like a father, have you not heard of that? I have a sister who is more than ten years younger than me, she doesn't listen to me . I'm so worried about her but… but I couldn't tell her…" The owner seemed like he was touched and patted Hatton's shoulder hard . Hatton seemed to understand what he meant and nodded, looking solemn .
Zhang Lisheng, who was walking down the second-floor cabin, could not help but smile after seeing the two tough hunks—who looked like big rocks on a mountain—communicate smoothly even when they couldn't understand truly each other . However, the smile on his face vanished without a trace when he walked close to the side of the boat and obtained a full view of the plane next to the boat . He suddenly realized that it was impossible for such a small plane to contain Island Dragon's gigantic body .
Just when Zhang Lisheng had a change of expression, a shadow covered him, "Mr . Lisheng, I would like to thank you, too . Trish told me on the phone last night that it would be impossible for her to be alive when we get here if not for your rich wilderness survival skills since you guys lost the guides . "
"I was just saving myself, Mr . Hatton . The regret is that something happened to Sheila, Shittu, and Walter even though I've tried my best . You know hunger makes one lose their mind, it's impossible for me to watch everyone in the jungle . " Zhang Lisheng thought about it and said .
"We can't blame you, a human isn't God who knows everything . Alright, I'll go take a look at Sheila, Walter, and Shittu . We'll leave right away, there's not much fuel on the plane . "
"I'm afraid that tiny plane of yours would sink in the river if all of us get in . I'll bring you to Sheila and the rest first . Oh yeah, they haven't had lunch today . It's best that they don't eat," Zhang Lisheng as he brought Hatton to cabin No . 12 .
"Mr . Lisheng, the plane I flew here is a standard 9-seater… Oh my god, what happened to these young people!" Even Hatton could not help but exclaim when he saw Sheila, Walter, and Shittu who were three to four times bigger compared to the last time he saw them .
"They ate everything when they lost their mind . Plants' roots, leaves that look delicious, and even worms in the jungle…"
"But it's impossible that they would gain so much weight from eating everything in the rainforest . It should be water retention . " Hatton pressed Shittu's fat arm as he spoke, but there were no indentations which would stay for a long time that he was expecting .
"If it's water retention, we should give them time to wear this out instead of pressing on it . So I think I won't be leaving with you . To be honest, before coming to the Amazon, I told my family that my reason for coming here is to do a science expedition . I can't go home if I didn't collect some rare insects or plants' seeds specimen to prove myself…"
Tina was surprised to hear that Zhang Lisheng wanted to stay on the tugboat . She said in a panic, "Lisheng, how… how could you not go back with us? You're so skinny, you could definitely squeeze into the plane… You can collect insect and plant specimens when we get back to Tuikano…"
"Tina, this tugboat might dock at Rukututu City tomorrow . It's the same no matter where I go to collect a specimen . Moreover, I'm figuring Mr . Hatton would arrange you guys to return to America as soon as you guys landed in Tuikano . We would be separated by then, so why not we do it now before you guys return to Tuikano . It's safer . "
