Chapitre 229: When You're Ready

Early the next day, Jim and Hailey set out back to the island. Perhaps due to the pollution of the city and the weather changes where she was no longer adapted to, Hailey felt unwell. With headache due to clogged nasal airways and episodes of sneezing, her body was heavy and tired.

She sat down on a couch with Jim in their favorite corner inside the yacht where they could have a perfect view of the sea. As they sailed past some islets and across the big waves, she suddenly fell to her side as she drifted into sleep.

Jim was startled from his train of thoughts and he turned to her abruptly. But Hailey instantly straightened up and laughed at herself. Seeing her alright, Jim cast her an amused look and smiled but he turned his gaze right away again towards the sea.

She tried hard to stay up but after an hour, she unconsciously drifted into sleep again. As big waves suddenly slapped into their vessel due to an overlapping ship, she fell down again from her seat.
