Chapter 5077
As the words rang through the air, Ambrose smiled bitterly and said in a serious tone to
Heather, "Heather, I know you feel awful for the poor child, but we can't send him back.
I'm sorry." "The Dragon King Island's far too dangerous. None of us will be able to leave if
we go back."
At the words, Heather frowned as she fell into thought. She knew that Ambrose and Neil
were telling the truth and that they would be as good as dead if they were to go back.
However... to forcefully separate a child from his mother was something she could not
bring herself to do.
A few seconds later, Heather said, "Alright, Ambrose. If we don't send the baby back,
promise me one thing." As she spoke, she fiddled with the blanket the child was sheathed
in.
Ambrose smiled. "I know what you mean. You're worried I'm going to hurt the baby. Well,
that's not something you have to think about at all. His parents may be beyond evil, but I
won't hurt a single hair on the child."

Ambrose." As she spoke, she gently laid her body against Ambrose.
Ambrose smiled lightly, holding her in his arms as warmth spread through his chest.
Uhh...
At the sight, Neil scratched his head and walked off purposefully.
After making a round around the island, Neil returned with a solemn expression on his
face. "Hey, you two. Cool it with the canoodling. The boat got washed away by that storm,
and we might not be able to make it out of here."
At the words, Ambrose let go of Heather immediately with a bashful expression.
Heather's face flushed as well, her shyness was breathtaking.
The next second, Ambrose quickly walked over and looked in the direction Neil was
pointing at. All that could be seen was that the boat that Forsythe had come in was
obliterated against some rocks by the shore, the pieces scattered on the sand.
As for Forsythe, he was nowhere to be found. It seemed that he had been washed away by
the ocean.
Crap.
At the sight, Ambrose began to grow anxious.
This place was really far from the Nine Continents. How were they going to head back
without a boat? 2
More importantly, they had failed in making the exchange. The Dragon King Island
Empress was sure to think that they had gone back on their promise and were definitely
sending her men over. A battle was bound to break out, and Ambrose and Neil could take
on it, but Heather might be in danger once again.
At the thought, Ambrose was fraught with nerves.
"Is the boat broken?’
Just then, Heather walked over with the baby in her arms. She smiled at the sight of the
smashed-up boat against the rocks. "Oh, that's alright. I can fix that."
She was the princess of the Sea Mackie Clan, after all, and had spent most of her life by
the sea. Thus, she knew plenty of ways to fix this.
Huh? This could be fixed?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust then, Neil and Ambrose exchanged a delighted glance.
If that really were the case, they would be able to return to the Nine Continents.
Just then, Heather handed the child back to Ambrose. She then walked towards the rocks,
taking out a bag of colorful powder from her pockets.
Just then, Ambrose and Neil looked on curiously as neither of them said a word.
Heather sprinkled the powder onto her hand. Squatting down by the ocean, she sprinkled
the powder into the sea before beginning to wait.
"Heather!"
Ambrose was nothing but confused then and could not help but ask, "What are you doing?
Arent you supposed to be fixing the boat? What are you waiting for?"
Shh!
Heather turned back to shush Ambrose, a mysterious look on her face as she said in a low
voice, "You'll find out soon enough."
At the look on her face, Ambrose could not help but smile as he fell silent, not asking any
more questions as he waited quietly with Neil.
Not long later, a series of splashes could be heard. Following that, a school of fish, each
around half a meter long, could be seen swimming over furiously, as if they had been
summoned.
