Chapter 730 Bring Him Back to Me
The news of the grand bonfire ritual on the island spread quickly.
Even the volunteers who were usually prepared were very interested.
In the evening.
Everyone had finished their makeup and adorned themselves with objects that were very characteristic of the island as best they could.
The sky had not yet darkened after dinner.
The hostesses of the households that had been moved earlier came to Fiona's residence.
"This is what we prepared for Fiona, our traditional clothing." Jessica handed Christopher the well-packed clothes. "We heard that she was also having some trouble, so we invited her to join our party. If she sincerely prays to our deities, they will bless her."
Christopher was not interested in these deities at all.
When Jessica and her friends left, Christopher took the clothes and went to find Fiona, conveying the message exactly as it was given.
Fiona didn't like crowds much.
She had no intention of going originally.
But hearing this, Fiona's heart began to ache again.
Fiona was never a firm materialist.
She had lost her loved ones one by one, and now her lover was nowhere to be found. Of course, Fiona hoped that there could be some divine.
To bring her lover back.
"It's quite beautiful." Fiona unfolded the ethnic clothing sent by Jessica, which was a long dress.
It was made of white linen, embroidered with beautiful flowers and colorful fish.
Very beautiful and refreshing.
"There are so many people over there. Are you really going?" Christopher was a little worried. "It's not very safe."
"But you will be there, won't you?" Fiona answered without thinking.
Christopher was taken aback.
Fiona knew how to answer questions.
"Why don't you go and pray for Charlotte's safety and happiness, too?" Fiona continued, "What if their deities are really powerful?"
Christopher hesitated for a moment.
Then he nodded awkwardly. "All right, all right."
Fiona changed into the dress.
Harold, who had just finished his temporary work, happened to walk into the living room as she came out.
His eyes went straight to Fiona the moment he saw her.
"Fiona, where did the dress come from? You look so beautiful in it!" Harold, like a puppy, ran to Fiona and circled around her.
"The islanders gave it to me."
"Are you going to pray at the bonfire?" Harold asked.
"Yes."
Harold immediately wailed, "What should I do? I have a meeting!!"
Fiona had said she wasn't going!
If he had known she was going, he would have postponed the meeting!
"Then have the meeting." Fiona patted Harold on the shoulder and then said to Christopher, "Let's go."
Harold followed Fiona to the door.
Finally, Harold waved goodbye to her and reminded Christopher to take care of her.
"Mr. Klein seems quite nice," Christopher said as they walked.
"Are you interested in him?" Fiona looked at Christopher and asked seriously.
Christopher was taken aback. "Madam, what nonsense are you talking about? I like women! I like women with hot and fiery figures!!!"
Fiona sighed. "You started it."
Christopher promptly sealed his mouth shut.
A few days ago, when Fiona went out for a walk, both the volunteers and the islanders were nervous and cautious.
But today was different.
Everyone was happy, and they were dressed exceptionally well.
"Miss Woods!"
As they walked, someone called out to her.
Fiona looked in the direction of the voice.
A red-haired girl ran toward her.
Christopher immediately became guarded.
"Mandy."
Fiona heard her companion call her that.
"It's me! Are you also joining the prayer bonfire?" Mandy asked.
"Yes." Fiona nodded.
"You look so beautiful!" Mandy looked Fiona up and down and blurted out.
Fiona smiled. "You're beautiful too."
Mandy blushed, then said, "We have figured it out. You didn't threaten or force the islanders to leave. On the contrary, you defended them for their mistake. It was that hypocritical Jerry who deceived us! He just wants to make things bigger and get more footage!"
"As long as you've figured it out," Fiona replied nonchalantly.
"Sis!"
Burl's voice, tinged with fear, came from nearby.
Before Fiona could react, Burl ran to her and pulled her away.
"Burl, what are you doing!" Christopher exclaimed, quickly following them.
They ran for a while.
Burl stopped when he confirmed that Mandy hadn't followed them. "Sis, why were you talking to her? Don't talk to her, she's crazy!"
"What's wrong?" Fiona asked curiously.
Since when did Burl get so scared that he fled?
"She said she wants to be my girlfriend!" Burl lowered his voice, expressing great frustration. "And she sent me those explicit messages!"
"Explicit messages?" Fiona was shocked.
"She said she wants to touch my abs!" Burl grabbed his hair. "I can't understand it; I'm greatly shocked! I'm leaving the island tomorrow! It's too scary!"
Fiona fell silent.
When will Burl finally find a girlfriend? Fiona added, "Some girls may be more open and straightforward in expressing themselves."
"Stop!" Burl was terrified.
At that moment, the piled-up wood burst into flames with a loud bang.
"The ritual has begun," Burl muttered as he looked at the towering flames.
Fiona also looked over and saw some people dressed in traditional clothes holding hands and dancing around the bonfire.
"Mike somehow got hold of a mask and went there to dance." Burl touched his nose. "He's really bold. What if those masks are tokens? What if accepting a girl's mask means marrying her or something?"
"Well, that's nice. Mike will have a companion." Fiona looked at Burl with mixed emotions. In this aspect, Burl and Mike were similar, but Mike was still better. At least he dared to accept the masks from the girls on the island. Perhaps Mike would also be happy to let the girls touch his abs.
As they spoke, Fiona and Burl moved closer to the bonfire.
Considering Fiona's eyes, Burl didn't allow her to get too close.
Fiona watched from afar for quite a while.
When the crowd around the bonfire dispersed and the flames died down a bit, Fiona walked to the sacred spot and picked up a handful of white flowers that were placed there.
Fiona solemnly paid her respects.
Fiona closed her eyes and silently prayed in her heart, "Oh deity, please bless my love, Darwin, and let him return to me safely. I vow to treat all living beings on the island with kindness and take care of the creatures in the sea. Please bring my beloved back to me."
Tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Fiona repeated her prayers in her mind over and over again.
Not far away, a man wearing an Apollo mask, leaning on a cane, tall and thin, concealed himself in the darkness.
His gaze was fixed on Fiona, who was praying devoutly.
