The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 172

The scene of the shipwreck came to my mind instantly. I seemed to recall the image of Dicken rescuing

me from the water. His deep eyes seemed to leave a print on my heart. All the confusion in my heart

seemed to disappear in a second. My mind was filled with many predictions. I couldn’t help but turn my

head to Jack, waiting for him to continue.

“Dr. Willie had previously given me a recording. It records everything that happened after your

grandfather entered the time portal. That was an entirely different world from Earth. You can think of it

as an alien planet. However, the recording was interrupted and intermitted. As a result, I was unable to

hear it clearly. One thing I know for sure, though, is that your grandfather gave up something to return

to the earth. He promised the leader there that he would pay a high price in the future in exchange for

his return to Earth.”

It all came together in a split second. I choked and said, “Am I…the price?”

“Huh?” Jack looked at me in confusion. Then, he questioned, “What? You?”

I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. I shook my head.

Jack didn’t know about Dicken and my relationship. Of course, he didn’t get the meaning of my

question. I now feel my prediction was ridiculous. How could I convince others to believe me?

My grandfather was an early twenties guy when he sailed with Dr. Willie. I didn’t exist at that time. And

yet he made a promise to Dicken, the alpha at that time. He used me, who hadn’t even been born yet,

as a bargaining chip with Dicken. How ridiculous it was to make a promise that might not be fulfilled in

the future.

Yet, I believed this was the reason Dicken came into my life and violated me. Although I didn’t want to

admit that I was just a bargain, I also didn’t want to believe my predictions.

But I couldn’t help guessing that the young and inexperienced crew might be frightened of death. He

was probably light-headed when he made the promise. Perhaps he didn’t expect the promise involving

the third generation to come true. But above all, I believed he never expected this promise would

change my life forever. As for me, I couldn’t blame the dead.

I now recall some of my grandfather’s actions seemed weird. He would launch a signal at sea.

Sometimes he would suddenly blow a trumpet on the ship. It sounded like a call. Was he calling for

Dicken? Was he trying to tell Dicken that I existed and wanted to offer me to Dicken?

I was blown away. My mind was like a chaotic scene left behind after a storin. I couldn’t pay attention to

a single word Jack was saying anymore.

” Linda ! ” Jack shook his five fingers in front of my eyes, which awakened me from the distractions. ”

Linda, listen. I guess Gary and the others are aware of your grandfather’s situation. That’s how they

found you. You must be extra careful and guard your life with these passwords. You may let them know This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

about the time portal because they won’t be able to find it even if they know… “

I took a deep breath and tried to calm my emotions. I shifted my focus to the current situation and

stared at Jack with a serious look, ” Understood. I will. I will protect my life and try to stall for time while

waiting for the reinforcements. They needed me to investigate Dicken. I will fight for more benefits and

help to heal Jolin…Wait a minute ! “

Speaking of which, I suddenly thought that my blood could heal Dicken. Maybe it could treat Jolin as

well!

I slapped my thigh and rushed towards Jolin. I grabbed the corner of her blanket but hesitated before

lifting it.
