Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 1094 - 382: I Will Be Waiting For You

Hazel looked at the ear stud in her hand. She really couldn't believe that she was at sea on a ship and somehow Joshua still managed to contact her.

She wondered if it was a trap that was put in place by Simon, but she had to give it a try. Hazel went to the bathroom, turned on the sink tap, and let the water run. She sat on the toilet and put the stud on to replace the one she lost.

There was a chance that her room had a camera or a bug, so she had no option but to hide in the bathroom. The woman had indicated that the jewel on the earring moved, Hazel pressed it and waited.

Suddenly, she heard something. "Hazel?" a familiar voice said.

It was Joshua, Hazel put her hands to her mouth, and everything suddenly got blurry.

"Is it good to talk now?" Joshua whispered, "If it's not convenient, you can just listen to me."

"Joshua, I miss you..." Hazel whispered, her voice whimpering. Tears started welling up in her eyes and then flowed down her cheeks.

She was forcibly taken away by Simon. She knew that she shouldn't be desperate or afraid or even cry. She needs to face everything with a tough attitude and look for opportunities to save herself.

However, when she heard Joshua's voice, she suddenly felt that all the emotions had turned into uncontrollable needs and the tears started. She was thankful that she did not have to continue fighting alone.

"Hazel, don't be afraid. I miss you too..." Joshua whispered at her. He heard Hazel's repressed crying, which broke his heart, but he had no way to comfort her until he could get to her.

"Well, no more crying..." Hazel wiped her tears away. "You have something very important to tell me, right? I am listening."

Noticing that her mood was stabilized, Joshua said, "Hazel, on your ear is a microsatellite phone. You can contact me directly through it, and I can also locate your position. You can rest assured, I already know where you are. I will be there to save you as soon as possible."

Hazel wanted to ask when he might be arriving, but she knew that it would only put more pressure on Joshua if she did ask.

Joshua seemed to have perceived what she thought. He went on to say, "Hazel, I don't want to lie to you. When Simon was in Country F, he had me held captive for a long time and his sailing route was rather vague. He seems to be deliberately misleading us, so it will be harder for me to catch up in a short time. The quickest I can get there will probably be about eight hours."

Eight hours... Hazel took a deep breath. She could accept the time frame because at least now she had hope. Only eight hours until she saw Joshua. She smiled a little and said, "I will be waiting for you."

"Hazel, you have to remember, I will definitely come to save you, but you also have to follow every word I'm going to say next!" Joshua's voice was more serious than ever. "In the next eight hours, you must protect yourself! Don't be stupid, and don't try to irritate Simon. Just protect yourself. You must remember, no matter what happens, I will always love you!"

Hazel trembled at the infinite affection carried in Joshua's last words.

She understood what he was saying, he didn't want her to be in trouble or injured. Even if Simon did force her to do anything, he wanted her priority to be her safety. However, she was not only trying to protect her safety.

"I will," Hazel promised. Joshua was trying his best to search for her so she could do anything that would make him worry.

"Do you really remember?" Joshua asked a little helplessly.

"Do not worry, I will protect myself," Hazel promised him.

"Hazel..." Joshua sighed. He knew Hazel well. According to her personality, she might not follow her promise exactly.

"Joshua, I am waiting for you to pick me up," Hazel said suddenly.

"I will," Joshua said again. "Don't be afraid! And, remember to protect yourself."

When Hazel walked out of the bathroom and looked around at the room, the original fake window changed its projection to a night view.

Hazel pulled the curtains closed and prepared to sleep. Sleeping was probably the fastest way to get through until Joshua arrived. However, Hazel was worried that Simon might attack her during the night. She was debating if she should just stay awake, but then she decided to use the cosmetics she had left to paint her bed and throw things around the room to make a mess.

Then she blocked the door with a chair, but she didn't feel any safer. She took a string, tied one end to her wrist, and tied the other end of the string to the door. As long as the door opened, she could feel it.

After creating a warning system to protect her if anyone came into the room, she laid on the bed with peace of mind. However, even with her plans, she didn't sleep well and jumped up at every little noise she heard.

After a difficult night of no rest, Hazel got up and washed. It would only be another or so before Joshua arrived. She had to dress and clean herself. She was really surprised that Simon didn't try to attack her during the night, but it didn't stop him from standing out of her door. She walked out, and he was leaning against the wall.

Simon looked at her clean little face and smiled. Suddenly, he stepped toward Hazel and put his hand on the wall by her head.

"You have thought it through?" He asked as he reached for her chin and tried to kiss her.

"I didn't brush my teeth this morning," Hazel said indifferently.

This sentence was like a bomb, which suddenly pushed Simon away. However, he wasn't sure if it was true or not. He frowned at Hazel, "Really, why are you so dirty?"

"Yeah, I love being dirty!" Hazel said confidently, "I am hungry though, do you have breakfast?"

Simon said unhappily, "Go brush your teeth!"

"Then I won't be eating." Hazel turned and started to go back to the room.

"Okay, let's go." Simon had to compromise. He sighed, "It is a bit early to be up. Didn't you sleep well?"

"...Well, maybe a little seasick," Hazel said faintly.
