…
At three in the morning, the business car Claire Wilson was in drove into the Island City port dock.
The ship they were to board was already waiting at the berth, fully loaded with containers, ready to sail to New Zealand.
After this ship entered international waters, it would meet another cargo ship from Hu City heading to Argentina in the Pacific. Claire Wilson’s family would switch to this cargo ship there and continue sailing southeast. When passing the route hundreds of nautical miles from Tahiti, a luxury yacht belonging to a Silicon Valley tycoon would pick them up to the Windward Islands of French Polynesia.
Tahiti is the largest island in the Windward Islands, but not the true destination of Claire Wilson’s trip. The island An Chengqi used to settle them is an obscure small island in the Windward Islands, a privately purchased island with usage rights, not open to the public.
The vehicle Claire Wilson was in drove directly into an empty container. Immediately after, several staff members came over to close the container doors. The container was lifted by a crane and hoisted onto this container cargo ship.
However, this container was not stacked on the mountainous pile of containers at the top, but directly hoisted onto the deck.
Once the container was stably placed on the deck, staff immediately came over to open the doors. Sun Mengmeng immediately started the car and backed out of the container. Then the staff opened the car doors, saying respectfully to Claire Wilson inside, “Mrs Wade!”
Claire Wilson was somewhat unaccustomed, first to so many people speaking to her so respectfully, second to them collectively calling her Mrs Wade.
At this time, a middle-aged woman came over, saying to Claire Wilson, “Madam, the cargo ship is about to set sail. You’ve had a tiring journey, please follow me to the cabin to rest.”
Claire Wilson asked nervously, “What about my parents?”
The middle-aged woman smiled, “We will arrange for your parents to rest in the observation room. There will be doctors accompanying them throughout. They will probably wake up tomorrow afternoon, and I will notify you in advance.”
With that, she waved to those behind her, and four medical staff in white coats came running over pushing two mobile beds.
The middle-aged woman then asked Claire Wilson, “Mrs Wade, do you have any other questions? If not, I’ll have them take your parents over first.”
Claire Wilson shook her head, saying, “I have no other questions, please take good care of them.”
“Rest assured.” The middle-aged woman smiled, “After I take you to settle in the room later, I’ll take you over to see them. We won’t restrict your visits at any time.”
Claire Wilson nodded in agreement. Sun Mengmeng helped her with the luggage, coming to the inside of the cabin.
Although this was a cargo ship, it had also undergone special modifications. Several rooms inside the cabin had been renovated in advance to rival five-star hotels. Not only were the soft furnishings and furniture high-end brands, but all household appliances were fully equipped.
In addition, there were several rooms, respectively the medical room, activity room, as well as restaurant and cinema.
Even the ingredients prepared for Claire Wilson’s family were the world’s top and most precious, and the chefs in charge were all Michelin-level masters.
The middle-aged woman beside acted as a guide, introducing all the hardware and software here to Claire Wilson. As Claire Wilson looked bit by bit, she was secretly astonished.
When she came to that extremely luxurious room, she couldn’t help but be surprised by these people’s thoughtfulness. She couldn’t help saying, “We are only staying on the ship for a very short time, maybe just ten or eight days. There is no need to invest so much manpower and resources specifically for renovation.”
The middle-aged woman smiled, “You are the young master’s wife. Even if you only stay on this ship for two hours, we must prepare well and never have any neglect.”
Claire Wilson felt a sourness in her heart, but still said politely, “Thank you all.”
The middle-aged woman shook her head, “Madam, you don’t need to be so polite with us subordinates.”
With that, she said to Claire Wilson, “Madam, let Mengmeng help you settle in. I won’t disturb you here. The ship leaves port in ten minutes, I need to follow up.”
Claire Wilson nodded, saying politely, “Then you go ahead.”
Claire Wilson didn’t know that all these were personally arranged by An Chengqi, which could be said to be painstaking.
And the reason she did this, on one hand, was because she felt guilty towards Claire Wilson, and on the other hand, she also hoped that in the future, when reuniting with Charlie wade mother and son and confessing everything, Charlie wade could have less resentment towards her.
Ten minutes later, with a low horn sounding, the cargo ship slowly left the berth, then headed out of the port and into the Yellow Sea.
Claire Wilson silently watched the increasingly distant port from the porthole, unable to hold back tears streaming down her face again…
