Chapter 1292
It had to be said that doctors were respected everywhere they went.
This was especially the case in a place like this island, where medical treatment was backward. They were revered as if they were divine beings.
Because Aria helped the islanders treat their illnesses, it also benefitted Bruce and Jaydon.
"Woo hoo hoo..."
The chieftain's son called the indigenous women to prepare a lot of food.
"Thank you. We don't need it."
The indigenous people warmly served fruit as well as their local food.
As Bruce and Jaydon took a glance, they felt a decrease in appetite.
In addition to fruit, there was also a large platter of plump tree grubs, which were the size of a finger and roasted until they were charred. Moreover, there were roasted sea cucumbers that were roasted until they were black.
This was the most nutritious high-protein food on their island. Usually, it was used to serve important guests.
"Hoo hoo!" The son of the chieftain gestured enthusiastically for them to eat.
Jaydon cleared his throat and said, "Ah! I'll stick to the fruit..."
As he spoke, he took a wild fruit from the plate.
Bruce was in no mood or appetite to eat anything because he was worried about not having a boat.
He just wanted to quickly save his daughter as well as destroy Mairesi Welch and his group before bringing his own daughter home.
His wife and children were still waiting for him at home.
Over here, Aria had been continuously providing medical care to the residents of the island. She had used up all the emergency medicine she had with her.
She was busy until late at night.
It was only then that she finished the treatment for these people.
"You must be exhausted, huh?" Jaydon said as he handed her a bottle of water.
"Yeah!" Aria said. She was exhausted, so much so that her back was aching. She slumped to the ground, not wanting to move at all.
"Drink some water."
"How should we leave here tomorrow?"
"Let's figure it out tomorrow. We definitely won't be able to leave today."
"Sigh. I wonder if we can find a boat on this island."
"Let's sleep for a while. We'll think of a way tomorrow." As Aria spoke, she was so tired, so much so that she had already closed her eyes. She quickly fell asleep.
The next day, Bruce and Jaydon groggily opened their eyes.
"Hoo. Hoo. Hoo." A few indigenous women surrounded them, all of them looking at them boldly and enthusiastically.
Because of the limited resources on the island, there was no concept of privacy in their minds. Men wore triangular loincloths made of tree bark.
Women wore a skirt made of tree bark, and they applied paint on their chests. This paint was a type of bird droppings that could also protect against mosquitoes and the like at the same time.
Bruce and Jaydon were stunned. They felt uncomfortable all over, and they no longer felt sleepy.
This was a custom of the indigenous people. However, both of them were not native to this place after all.
Hence, when they saw a group of women with no clothes on, it was inevitable that they felt uncomfortable all over.
"We want to leave," Jaydon said, attempting to communicate. "Is there a boat?"
"Hoo. Hoo. Hoo!" This group of indigenous women looked at them as if they were watching monkeys. They giggled and laughed as they looked at Jaydon and Bruce, not understanding what both of them were talking about.
"Boat!"
"Boat..." Jaydon repeated.
Unfortunately, no matter what they said or gestured, these indigenous people could not understand.
However, they had completely changed from their fierce and hostile demeanor of the previous day. Instead, they acted as if they were treating honored guests. Their gaze was filled with reverence and awe. "Oh no. They can't understand anything I say to them."
"Let's go to the seaside later and see if we can make a boat ourselves. Let's get out of here quickly."
"Where's Aria?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen her all morning."
When Bruce heard this, he felt a pang of worry. He quickly began searching everywhere.
"There would be a real mess if she were to encounter danger," he thought.
"Hurry and let's go find her."
"Aria. Aria!"
"Where are you? Aria!"
Jaydon and Bruce became nervous. They were so tired the previous night, so much so that they had fallen asleep without realizing it. Unexpectedly, a living person would go missing today.
