I need sseasickness medication." "Alright, I'll go get the doctor's medicine right away." As Polly turned to leave, Sophie quickly stopped her, saying, "Wait." "Is there anything else you need?" "Didn't they say the ship would dock in three days? Why haven't we arrived yet?" "I'm not sure. The course of the ship is entirely up to Mr. Odie's wishes." Hearing this, Sophie frowned.

He was walking right into her trap! "Oh, my..." Sophie pretended to be in pain and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
Gattlin looked down at Sophie lying on the floor, scoffed coldly, and said, "Con, Ms. Sophie, stop pretending. A bump like that couldn't have dislocated anything." "It hurts so much... help... help!" Hearing Sophie's loud cries, Gattlin panicked.

"You bitch! Who are you to speak tolike that? I might not touch Sophie, but do you really thinki He but do you m wouldn't lay a hand on you? I could throw you overboard right now!" Hearing this, Polly trembled with fear.
Gattlin had always been this way. Since Sophie was around, he had restrained himself a bit these past few days under Mr. Odie's instructions. But Polly was just a lowly maid. If she truly angered him, he would undoubtedly throw her into the sea.
