Mysterious Woman Is So Gentle By Mila Chan Chapter 1

Chapter 1

On an uninhabited island.

Raindrops pelted down like bullets, and the crashing of the waves waslike drums.

With a dagger, Arielle Moore was shaving the wooden piece down withdifficulty. It was as if

she felt nothing as the rain continued to hit her face.

She had lost contact with her family for ten years. Just as she finallyfound the

Southalls—just as she was about to replace out the truth about hermother's death and her

kidnapping—a group of people who claimed to be the ones to bringher home tried to kill her.

She successfully defeated them, but the ship sunk, and she ended upon this uninhabited

island.

It was her seventh day on the island, and she had yet to see any passingships.

Fortunately, there were many trees and plants on the island, and shehad built herself a

simple wooden boat.

Right when she moved to work on the oars, it had abruptly rainedheavily.

Rising to her feet, Arielle was about to stretch when she spottedsomething dark by the

rocks.

Walking over suspiciously, it startled her to replace out it was a man. Theman was handsome, but his face was pale. He had an injury on hiswaist, and his blood

was mixing together with the seawater, forming a sunset in the water.”Arielle placed her finger under the man’s nose. When she realized theman was not dead, she began dragging him further into the island andinto the cave she had been sleeping in for the past few days.

After starting a fire, she ran back out into the rain. It was only a briefwhile before she

returned with some herbs.

“You're lucky that you've met me,” Arielle said as she reached out totake off the man’s

clothes.

A quick glance at the man’s waist told her that it was a deep knifewound. Did it hit his

internal organs?

The moment she reached out for his wrist to take his pulse, a handgrabbed onto hers

instead.

“W-Who are you?” The man’s voice was almost a whisper, but the griparound her wrist

was firm.

Shooting the man a look, Arielle gloomily said, “Who am 1? I'm yoursavior. If you're not going to let go of me anytime soon, I'm going tohave to build you a gravestone. In memory of Nameless. Does thatsound good?”

The man only furrowed his brows in silence. Then, his eyes driftedtoward the crushed

herbs in her hands.

“What's the matter? Take it off! I'll help you.”

With that said, Arielle’s hand reached toward him ag

adin.

“I'll do it myself.”

With a look of disdain, the man pushed her hands away and took off hisshirt himself. The

entire time, his dark eyes watched her warily.

Once his shirt was off, Arielle saw the man’s eight packs and the V cutabs that ran down his

body and into his pants. This man’s figure... is a little too great, isn't it?Unable to help herself, Arielle gulped. Blushing, she then carefullyplaced the crushed herbs

on the man’s body.

“What is this?” the man asked. His voice was low, and she could nothear any emotions in

them.

“Antiseptic herbs for stopping the bleeding.” “Where am 12

In the beginning, Arielle was a little shy to be around him. However,upon hearing his constant stream of questions, she raised her head tolook at him impatiently. He's handsome, but he has too manyquestions. If I know where I am, I wouldn't need to be trapped in thisplace for

seven days, would 1?

“If you have questions, you can ask your teacher instead. Why don't yousave your strength and lie down to rest instead of speaking?”

Irritated, the man muttered, “This isn't how a doctor should talk to herpatient.” “Excuse me?” Arielle deadpanned, “Is this the way you shouldbe talking to your savior?”

At that, the man furrowed his brows.

“Woman, you're rude.”

“Dude, you're impolite.” The two then glared at each other as thetension in the atmosphere rose.

In the end, Arielle was the one to give up. She saw no point in settlingthe score with an injured man, so she stood up and said, “The rain isquite heavy, so it'll be much colder at night. I'm going to start the fireagain. Stay right there.”

As Arielle walked toward the corner, the man spoke again. “Hey.”“What is the matter with you again?” Arielle spun around.

If I don't start this fire now, we're both going to freeze to death tonight.The man’s mouth opened, but he ended up saying, “Nothing.”

Rolling her eyes, Arielle returned to her fire-starting.

There was only one way to start a fire on the humid island-drilling thewood. Arielle took

over an hour to finally get a tiny flame going.

However, the wind outside blew in and ended its short life.

“Hey,” the man said again.

“What?” Arielle shrieked.

The moment she spun around, she heard the sound of somethingmetallic dropping onto the

ground. Then, she spotted the lighter by her feet.

Huh?

Oh!

After a three-second silence, Arielle cursed out loud, “Arent you adespicable man? You b*stard!”

The man slowly closed his eyes and turned away, but there was a smallsmile growing on his lips.

Night soon arrived.

The two rested on the two sides of the caves. In the middle of the night,Arielle woke from

grunting sounds.

Opening her eyes, she realized the man's pale face was completelywhite. He curled into himself, cold sweat beaded all over his forehead."Hey, jerk. Are you okay?” Arielle walked over to poke his arm, but theman did not even react to it. Hastily, she reached out to put her handon his temple, only to replace it scorching. His wound must be infected.That's why he’s having a fever.

Two amoxicillin would have done the trick, but where would she replaceamoxicillin on the uninhabited island?

Left without any options, Arielle resorted to other methods to cool himdown—by taking off his clothes.

However, although that lowered the man’s temperature, he beganshivering and mumbling

about how cold it was

Hence, Arielle moved him closer to the fire, but his condition did notimprove.

“Damn it,” Arielle cursed before taking off her clothes. She then laydown and hugged the

man to share her body heat with the man.

Who cares if he’s a jerk? It's more important to save his life first.Saving someone is a good deed. Maybe God will let me survive my wayback to replace out the

truth with the Southalls.

If the ones who came to bring me home tried to take my life, it meansthat there's

something wrong with the Southalls.

I'll be merciless if I replace out that my father is the one who did this.Arielle lost herself in her thoughts as she hugged the man. Soon, shefell asleep. When she woke again, she heard voices and footstepsoutside the cave. There are other people around?

Shocked, she sat up to realize that the man’s jacket was on her, but theman himself was

gone.

Hurriedly putting on her clothes, she then warily walked out of the caveIf these are the ones who tried to kill me... How professional of them.However, when Arielle reached the cave entrance, she realized therewas a line of

bodyguards clothed in black. A distance away was a helicopter, and theleader of the

bodyguards was speaking to the man she saved.

Right then, the man turned around.

It was the first time Arielle had seen the man’s face with proper lighting.He was still handsome, and he was quite intimidating just by standingthere. Other than his pallor, he looked like any other individual.

He's quick to recover.

"You..."

Just as Arielle started speaking, the man interrupted, “What do youwant?” “What?” His question threw her off. Expressionless, he explained,“You saved me, so I'll fulfill a wish of yours.”

Arielle was rendered speechless for a moment. “How rude can you be? Isaved you, but you

don't even have a word of thanks?”

Right as those words left Arielle’s lips, the bodyguards all stared at her,aghast. It was as

though she had said something strange.

On the other hand, the man's expression remained neutral. “You'llregret it if you miss this

chance.”

Arielle was fuming, but she thought, My wooden boat might not lastuntil I reach the land. Gritting her teeth, she squeezed out, “Bring mehome.” Now, it was the man’s turn to look astounded.

“That's all?"

“What else?”

She only had one wish, which was to leave the godforsakenuninhabited island.

Glancing at her as if she was an idiot, the man then headed toward thehelicopter. Three hours later, the helicopter was hovering inJadeborough'’s skies. “Is that the place?” the man asked, pointing at themanor below.

“I think so...” Arielle barely had any memories of her childhood, but shehad investigated the Southalls before returning to the country.

That place was supposed to be the Moores’, but it now belonged to theman who never bothered looking for her during her ten-yeardisappearance, her father.

“Down,” the man ordered. The pilot instantly replied, “Yes, sir.”
