Chapter 86: The Search Ensues

The sun set quickly. Noah watched helplessly as the glowing sun sank completely under the sea, and the whole world became buried in darkness. It was a similar sight she had woken up to yesterday. The night came sooner than when the sun rose to the heavens.

Noah had planned to wait until just midnight. If she were to descend to the operating room, there would be no turning back. Frightened to death, she prayed earnestly for Kyle to return without her having to go down.

However, she ran out of time as the hands of the clock pointed at exactly eleven o’clock. It was still an hour before midnight, but intuitively, she knew it was time to move.

The scenery beyond the round window was almost pitch black, and something felt strange. She exhaled a deep breath and rose from her seat.

“Mu, let’s go.”

The child, who looked out through the window with her, hopped off the chair. Noah was already finished preparing. She wore light pajamas with a shawl wrapped around her so that if anyone saw her, she could excuse herself, saying she had come out for a drink. She also bought the pouch containing helpful items.

She slowly opened the door and crept into the hallway. The hallway was brightly lit even though the night was deep. Noah lightened her steps, walking swiftly over the long corridor towards the elevator.

Suddenly, there was a sound of dragging. It was coming to her side. Noah stiffened until she saw an approaching waiter, pushing a serving cart.

“Madame? What is the matter? May I help you?” He asked.

“…No, I just want to get some fresh air.”

“The door to the walking deck is on this side, madame.”

“Thank you.” Noah opened the door he was pointing at and arrived at the deck. The sea breeze blew against them, sweeping her shawl away.

“The ship stopped,” muttered Muell.

“…Yes.”
