NovelEnglishThe Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 637: The Knights In Shining ArmorJanet came back to consciousness to the sound of the ceaseless thunderous claps of the surf against the rocks.She opened her
eyes again and looked at the sea.
The rain had eased up completely but the sky was still an ominous gloomy grey.She had no idea of how long she had been
there.She was exhausted so she curled up under the shelter of some rocks and slept for some time.She looked in the distance to
the horizon and couldn't spot a single boat or ship passing by.
There was no sign of life apart from the occasional seagull diving into the reef.
Janet swallowed hard and licked her chapped lips, and her stomach growled ravenously.
Now she was parched and starving.
Fortunately, since it had rained today, some water had collected in a shallow depression in the reef.She lay on the reef and
scooped up some water into her cupped hands.She sipped the water to try to quench her thirst.
After sipping some of it, she felt like some life had returned to her body.
As for food, Janet could only look for seaweed and bird eggs on the rocks, which barely filled her stomach.

When a person was extremely hungry and thirsty, food of any kind felt as precious as gold.
The only thing she could do was curl up under the shelter of rocks to avoid the whipping wind and rain.The night sea breeze was
frigid.She took off her wet coat and placed it on the reef.She incessantly rubbed her hands together, desperately trying to keep
herself warm.
Janet could do nothing but wait.She encouraged herself to hang on for a few more days.
There would definitely be a boat coming for her.
After two days of staying by the reef, the weather finally took a turn for the better.
The sun dispelled the dark clouds and stormy haze.
She climbed to the highest point of the reef and stared out at the sea anxiously.She desperately hoped that there would be a
boat passing by.She imagined countless times that she would stand at the top of the reef and shout when she saw a boat so that
the boatman could see her and come to her rescue.
Unfortunately, there were only seagulls and endless waves to accompany her.
On the third morning, Janet was woken up by the sound of a yacht.She thought it was an auditory hallucination.
When she rubbed her eyes and looked ahead, she saw a yacht floating quite nearby! She was thrilled and filled with wild
excitement!
Janet climbed to the highest point of the reef, took off her coat, waved it, and shouted at the yacht in the distance, "This way!
Without delay, the yacht soon approached her.
"Are you Janet White? We are the rescue team sent by the White family."
The muscular man on the yacht reached out his hand to pull Janet up onto the yacht.
"Come on.In order to find you, we have searched almost every inch of this sea!"
Immersed in the excitement of being saved, Janet walked toward the yacht and said gratefully, "Thank you! My mom and dad
must be really anxious.Where is my husband? Did he come with you?"
The two people on the yacht looked at each other.
The thinner rescuer said, "Yes, they are all waiting for you on the shore.You come up here first.It will take some time to get you
there."
Janet frowned.
Seeing their reaction to her question, she could sense something was amiss.
She smiled and said, "I want to inform my parents of my safety first.You also need to report the situation, right? Can you give me
the phone? I want to talk to them."
"Well..."
These knights in shining armor who had come to her rescue actually looked flummoxed and as if they couldn't find the words to
answer her.
Janet immediately went on the defensive because she was now suspicious.
"Since you claim to be sent by the White family, you should inform them as soon as possible that you have found me.Why are
you hesitating about making a phone call to them?"
