As they neared the villa, Xavier glanced ahead at Hannah's back, seeing that she wasn't paying attention, he pulled his sister aside.
"What's wrong?" Sophia looked at her brother, thinking he was worried, and reassured him, "Don't worry, we'll find Bella soon, her healing ability can completely fix your arm."
"It's not that," Xavier carefully chose his words, "Sis, are you really being held captive by them?"
"Well... kind of," Sophia hesitated for a moment. "Last night, Jacob and the others were defeated and killed. They spared me because I didn't fight back."
"How could they agree to help you heal me then?" Xavier didn't explicitly ask what price his sister had paid, but it was obvious. If she was a captive, why would they be so kind to her?
Sophia's face turned somewhat unnatural as she glanced aside, unsure how to respond. She had always believed that Elijah agreed to help her because of what she had said: "You can do anything to me, I'm still a virgin..." But how could she explain that to her brother?
"Elijah... is he really going to be my brother-in-law?" Xavier blurted out involuntarily, seeing his sister's expression.
"Not... not yet..." Sophia didn't want to hide it; this was something he would find out sooner or later.
"Not yet? Did he lie to me? No, he still wants to make a move on you!" Not yet didn't mean never! From Elijah's tone, it was obvious he had intentions towards his sister!
But regardless, Xavier felt relieved, and his impression of Elijah changed significantly. "What did he lie to you about?" Sophia asked curiously.
"He said something about taking interest? So he had to heal me!" Xavier muttered.
"He had to heal you?" Sophia's heart warmed instantly, even more grateful to Elijah. But when did he take interest?
Suddenly, Sophia remembered shortly after they set sail, when she changed into her swimsuit, he was touching her here and there.
A blush spread across her face.
Did Elijah really like seeing me in a swimsuit?
After all, in terms of looks and figure, Sophia felt she couldn't compare to any woman on the island.
Feeling grateful towards Elijah and considering herself already his, she couldn't help but entertain a thought. Next time... should I wear it for him to see again?...
The three of them unconsciously arrived at the villa.
Bella, Charlotte, and Fiona were waiting inside.
Xavier, feeling relieved, couldn't help but be stunned by the sight of the three unbelievably beautiful elder sisters.
How come there are so many beauties on this island?
Each one is stunning, and they all have different qualities.
"These are all my women!" Xavier suddenly remembered something Elijah had said.
All along the way, he hadn't seen a single man; it was all women.
They all got on the shuttle bus and quickly arrived at the hotel entrance, where several vans were parked.
Lily, Hannah, and Fiona each got into a van. Elijah also got into one, then looked at Xavier standing still and said, "What are you waiting for? Get in the car!"
"Oh!" Xavier replied and was about to sit in the front passenger seat when Abigail beat him to it. Xavier had no choice but to sit in the back of the van.
As the vehicles started moving, they filed out of the area and drove along the bridge to the service area on the shore.
Gabriel and Emily were already waiting there. When Gabriel saw Elijah, he immediately shouted, "Brother-in-law!" and ran over excitedly.
Ever since he learned that his sister had successfully awakened her ability with Elijah's help, Gabriel's attitude towards Elijah had become even more enthusiastic.
He wasn't afraid of Fiona's temper; he just called Elijah "brother-in-law" whenever they met.
Even if his sister might scold him, as long as his brother-in-law was happy, it could help him awaken his ability!
Emily also followed behind Gabriel, calling out to Elijah before and after Gabriel. She had long noticed that Daisy didn't seem to like her, and Elijah was indifferent towards her as well.
She had no intention of provoking Elijah.
There were already so many women on the island, each more beautiful and outstanding than her, and even her only advantage had been surpassed by Lily.
So she had long decided to just hold onto Gabriel tightly.
With Fiona's relationship, they wouldn't be mistreated!
Elijah nodded to the two of them and then asked Xavier to get out of the van.
He turned to Gabriel and said, "His name is Xavier. Arrange a place for him to stay. From today onwards, this kid is your responsibility!"
"Okay, brother-in-law! Xavier, right? Follow me later!" Gabriel said.
Xavier looked at Gabriel in astonishment.
This was only the second man he had seen among this group.
But hearing Gabriel address Elijah, he understood that he was similar to himself, a brother of one of the women on the island.
Seeing Gabriel's enthusiasm towards Elijah, he couldn't help but feel disdain.
Could his sister be so happy even after being "bullied" by this person?
Then he looked at Emily and found her exceptionally beautiful with a great figure.
Especially the occasional hint of mature charm in the corners of her eyes made his heart skip a beat.
He stood next to Emily, listening to Elijah and Gabriel's conversation while sneakily glancing at Emily from time to time.
Gabriel didn't miss any of this.
