“Yes, that’s it. Look more determined. If you can’t bear the next injury, it will still be your own fault. Think about your past
With a loud “bang.” Aveline opened the wooden storage, feeling a numbness in her arm. She was still not used to such a strong reend
Although she didn’t hit the bullseye, at least she hit the target.
“Very well done. Believe in yourself, you can do it,” Owen stood behind her again, adjusting her posture to the best position. He whispered gently in het ear, “Aveline, may you become your own sun from now on, without needing to borrow anyone else’s light. You were born with wings, so you should soar in this world, why crawl on the ground?”
Aveline looked at the target in the distance, as if it represented her current self.
She didn’t know when she had transformed from a shining self into the submissive target, always being controlled by others. She not only disliked this version of herself, but even Alexander.
“Bang!”
The bullet flew swiftly and hit the bullseye.
“See, this is how you should be,” Owen let go of her hand, “There’s nothing else here, but there’s plenty of ammunition.”
Aveline looked at Owen and instinctively wanted to ask about his identity. But thinking that everyone has their own secrets, she swallowed her words and softly said, “Thank you.”
For the next few days, she would come here every day. Owen didn’t hide anything and taught her many ways and techniques of combat. He even took her to hunt wild rabbits and pheasants in the mountains. Aveline was undoubtedly intelligent, and she quickly learned everything, even shooting a
gun.
In just a few days, she was already able to hunt alone. At first, she couldn’t bear to harm the white rabbits, but now she could skillfully skin them and gut the fish in the wild, then cook them over a fire.
This was a life she had never experienced before. Owen seemed to have a lot of experience in wilderness survival, which made her not only interested in his appearance but also curious about his past.
These days made her forget about her anxiety and the panic that Alexander brought to her. Following Owen every day, jumping and crawling in the mountains, she felt that her physical condition had improved a lot. Unlike before, when the side effects of chemotherapy affected her, she would be out of breath after a few steps.
There was no internet here, as if she was isolated from the world, which made Aveline feel fulfilled. She would even go out to sea with Owen, sailing on the turbulent waves, enjoying each day of happiness.
On the vast sea, she often saw groups of dolphins, lazy whales exhaling air, and sea turtles covered in barnacles.
Owen told her that when spring comes and the islands come back to life, all the flowers will bloom. Not only will the fish resources be abundant, but the islands will also be especially beautiful.
Aveline suddenly became excited, looking forward to a spring with her face towards the sea, where everything would bloom.
“What are you daydreaming about?” Owen handed her an apple he had just washed.
Aveline snapped back to reality and a smile appeared on her face. “I was looking at that cherry blossom tree. It should bloom in a few days. I suddenly long for the beauty of spring here.”
Owen’s gaze flickered across her face without a trace. “Yes, it is indeed beautiful. I’ll go check if there are any fish in the traps I set up a few days ago.”
Aveline almost forgot. These were the fish traps she made for the first time a few days ago. She didn’t know if they would catch any interesting
creatures.

“I’ll go with you.” She took a bite of the apple and followed Owen. After these days, she had become very familiar with the island and had found the spot where they had set the traps before.
One of the traps was placed in a slightly deeper location. Without hesitation, Owen took off his shirt and jumped into the sea.
Aveline admired their physical fitness. Even now, she would start coughing after being exposed to the wind for a while. Although it was already early spring, the temperature was still quite cold.
Just as she was thinking, she heard a splash, and the man emerged from the water.
