Chapter 265 Charles and Fannie in Danger
It seemed as if the GodsGod had heard Fannie's prayers. Before long, they had a bite.
Before long, they had a bite.
The fishing line tautened under a strong pull, and Fannie, fearing the fish would take the rod with it, held onto her end of the rod and shouted,. "Charles, come help me quickly!. I've caught a fish, and it's so strong I can't hold on."
Charles, worried shethe fish might be pulledpull her overboard by the fish, hurried to help her with the fishing rod.
Hunter, not wanting to arouse suspicion, also stepped forward to assist.
Together, the three of them finally hauled the fish aboard.
It was a dark grey-brown fish, large and long, but with a flat body shaped like an oval, and its. Its back was lined with sharp, pointed spines that looked quite formidable.
The fish was very powerful.
It thrashed about on the deck, splashing water everywhere.
Fannie watched in amazement,. "What kind of fish is this? I've never seen one like this before!" ."
Charles took out his phone to search for it.
"This is a black seabream, a bottom-dwelling fish of the shallow seas, fond of living in sandy or rocky reef areas, generally moving in coastal waters between 5 to 50 meters deep, without migrating long distances." ," Charles explained, which was as good as not explaining at all.
Charles explained, which was as good as not explaining at all.
Fannie didn't understand and didn'tor bother to try; she simply put the fish into the tank and cast her line back into the sea.
FannieShe was quite lucky.
In half an hour, she had already caught several fish.
Charles, on the other hand, was the exact opposite.
For half an hour, his line didn't twitch once. Several times, he thought it had broken or the bait was gone, but everything was fine each time he checked, everything was fine, which leftleaving him feeling quite dejected.
Their fishing rods were side by side, less than three meters apart, y.
Yet the fish were only biting Fannie's bait, completely ignoring his. It made, which made him wonder if there was something was wrong with hims character,; even the fish were avoiding him.
After sitting in frustration for an hour, his float finally moved.
He excitedly went to pull the line from the reel above the tub.
But before he could bring the fish to the surface, a sudden gust of wind stirred up the sea.
Dark clouds gathered overhead, turning the previously bright sky dark and ominous, as if a storm was brewing.
Unaware of the impending danger, Fannie, excited by the movement of the float, vigorously turned the reel, exclaiming,, "Brother, I've caught another fish,! cCome help me..."
The wind howled.
Fannie was blown to the ground by the gust.
The, and the fish in her hand struggled fiercely.
Under the dual assault, Fannie gradually found it harder to copehold, and she was dragged toward the railing of the deck.
Charles, fearing for her safety, ran over to help her hold the fishing rod.
ButHowever, this time, the fish seemed exceptionally large; the strength of two people was not enough to pull it up.
Moreover, the fishing line was of excellent quality.
They pulled on their end, and the fish on its end, the line taut and straight, but it didn't break, and a fierce tug-of-war ensued.
Hunter stood quietly behind them, watching the intense struggle between them and the 'fish' with a slight smile and a glint in of successful scheming in his eyes.
After struggling for a while, Charles realized they couldn't keep this up and made a split-second decision.
"Fannie, let's give up!. We can't pull it up,; it must be a big fish. , and Iif we don't let go now, we'll be pulled down too."
"But I finally caught a big fish..."
Fannie hesitated, reluctant to let go. "But I finally caught a big fish..."
Charles coaxed her gently,. "There's always more wood in the forest; we'll have other chances!. And look at the sky;, it's about to rain. IfWe'll be in danger if we don't give up now, we'll be in danger." ."
Fannie looked up at the sky.
Only then did she notice the ominous sky, the wind whipping up waves on the sea.
If they persisted, she and her brother could indeed be dragged into the sea and swallowed by the waves. Though reluctant, she quickly made a decision forchose the ir own safetysake of their lives.
Though reluctant, she quickly made a decision for the sake of their lives.
"Brother, I'll count to three, and we'll let go together..."
If one let go and the other didn't, the one left holding could be pulled into the sea.
The safest way was to let go together.
Charles nodded,. "Okay!" ."
"One, two, three, let go..."
Fannie didn't count too fast, Ffearing Charles wouldn't be ready, Fannie counted slowly. "One… two… three… Let go!"
and paused after each number.
As she uttered the last word, they released their grip together.
The fishing rod was instantly pulled into the churning waves, and in the blink of an eye, it was gone without a trace. in the blink of an eye.
Hunter, who had been standing behind them, immediately ran over and helped them up from the ground,. "Are you alright? What happened? I just went into the cabin for a moment, and yet you've ended up like this?"
His words carried a double meaning.
He showed concern for them and also explained why he hadn't helped earlier.
Charles seemed not to hear his explanationhim, busy asking Fannie,, "Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Fannie shook her head, saddened,. "I'm fine,; it's just that the fish dragged the fishing rod got dragged away by the fish. Did I catch a shark? Otherwise, why would it be so strong that even the two of us couldn't pull it up?"
Charles gave her an incredulous look,. "If it were a shark, would you still be alive to standing here? Next time, throw the rod and save yourself. It's not worth losing your life over a fish."
Though Fannie felt it was a pity, she still nodded in agreement.
"I understand."
Hunter spoke up again,. "It's good that you're both fine!. It looks like it's about to rain,, so l let's take shelter in the cabin for a while. We can fish again after the rain stops."
The two youngsters nodded and followed Hunter into the cabin.
Hunter poured each of them a cup of tea to calm their nerves.
Charles held the cup with both hands, feeling the warmth in his palms, but his body felt as if it had been soaked in ice water.
He was hit by a wave of fear as he thought back on the close call they had just experienced.
If he hadn't held onto Fannie, sheFannie might have been dragged away.
if he hadn't held onto her. With the sea so rough, what would they have done if something had happened?
With this thought, h
His gaze unconsciously drifted towards Hunter.
Hunter had said he went to the cabin just when the incident occurred!
. How could it there be such a coincidence?
He didn't go earlier or later, but precisely when they were nearly dragged into the sea.?
A terrifying thought suddenly crossed his mind.
Thenbefore he dismissed it.
It must be his paranoia.
What if Hunter really had gone to the cabin?
Wouldn't he be wronging a good person thenhim?
He hadn't seen it with his own eyes, so he couldn't accuse someone without proof.
As he was lost in his thoughts, a violent wind suddenly picked up outside, rocking the large yacht, causing. The wind caused everything on the shelves in the cabin to fall down, breaking and ruining them as they rolled around with the yacht's movements.
Charles and Patricia Fannie sat on a bench. , and at Tthe moment the yacht rocked, they stood up in fear, only to losing lose their balance and being thrownfall outdown.
"Ah... What's happening?"
Fannie struggled up from the ground, asking Hunter, in fear. "W-What's happening?"
Hunter knew exactly what was going on, but pretended ignorance, but said, "Find a place to lean against., I'll go out and see what's happening."
Charles and Fannie obediently ran to a corner and sat down.
Their kindergarten first aid teacher had taught them that sitting in a corner was the safest in such situations.
It wasn't long before Hunter came running back, his face full of urgency.
"It's bad,; a typhoon is coming,..."
Hehe said, pulling out three life jackets from the closet, handing. He handed the blue one to Charles and the red one to Fannie,. "Quickly put on these life jackets."
Fannie, though unaware of the exact situation outside, Fannie could guess from the rocking of the yacht that they were in grave danger.
They might even lose their lives here.
Seeing her still dazed, Charles, forgetting his own pain, helped her into her life jacket first.
The sound of the wind grew louder and closer, as if just outside the cabin.
Charles couldn't afford to waste a moment; after helping Fannie into her life jacket, he put on his own and then held Fannie's hand tightly,. "Remember, nNo matter what happens, hold onto my hand tightly and never don't let go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fannie hadn't even had the chance to respond when the yacht wastyphoon lifted by the typhoon. yacht.
"Ah..."
With a scream, Hunter, Charles, and Fannie were thrown into the air. B; before they could understand comprehend what was happening, the typhoon carried the top of the yacht was carried away by the typhoon, and they were flung out of the cabin, landing falling into the churning waves.
