The tide continued to rise, and the cabins in the middle of the yacht were gradually flooded.

The floor in Sun Jiaojiao and Gong Dalong's Room Seven also had thin puddles.

Sun Jiaojiao and Gong Dalong lay on separate beds beside each other. Because Sun Jiaojiao restricted his eating, drinking, and bathroom breaks every day, Gong Dalong had been moaning softly almost all night from hunger and injury.

Watching the almost comatose Gong Dalong, Sun Jiaojiao was restless and sat up in bed.

No matter how harshly Hao Jiening cursed outside, Sun Jiaojiao remained silent, only occasionally glancing at the small circular window on the wall, watching the continued lightning and thunder outside. She couldn't help but grab a thin quilt and wrap herself up tightly.

For the past two days, she had been hesitating about when was the most appropriate time to tell Gong Dalong about the matter in her belly.

A trump card should be used at the most critical moment to maximize its power.

The emotions outside were running high tonight, and it was hard to say what might happen.

In her opinion, this was almost the critical moment. She had to get Gong Dalong on her side. If necessary, she even wanted him to have the awareness to sacrifice himself. To achieve this goal, she could only tell him that she was pregnant with his child.

However, she wasn't sure about his attitude. After all, she had secretly done this while Gong Dalong wasn't paying attention. Being forced into something, he might not be happy about it.

But this wasn't a difficult matter for Sun Jiaojiao. Deep affection for one's offspring – she didn't believe that anyone wouldn't love their own flesh and blood.

The tide rose faster, and some of the air inside the hull was expelled, making a loud "glug" sound inside the boat.

Gong Dalong, who was in a daze, was awakened by the sound of the bubbles. He twitched violently and opened his eyes.

"Someone is coming to pick us up!" Gong Dalong shouted. Even though his eyes were open, his consciousness was still in a dream. In the dream, he saw the coast guard boarding the ship. The coast guard's leather boots made a series of loud noises on the deck, but they didn't take him, who was injured, on board. They locked him in the room instead.

A sharp pain in his injured thigh made Gong Dalong sweat profusely. His mouth was dry and peeling, and he just wanted a drink of water.

"Jiaojiao, I... I want to drink water."

"Okay." Sun Jiaojiao brought him some water. The water level had already reached her ankles.

Gong Dalong drank the water and finally felt a little better. He recovered and, thinking of what he had dreamed, hurriedly said, "Jiaojiao, are the rescuers here?"

Looking at Gong Dalong's weak face, Sun Jiaojiao said indifferently, "No."

Gong Dalong sighed. The pain from his injuries and his weak body made him feel powerless. He didn't know if he could hold on until someone came to rescue them.

"Dalong, I'm pregnant."

Sun Jiaojiao's sudden words caught Gong Dalong off guard.

"Wha... what?"

"I'm pregnant with your child."

"Huh?" Manager Gong slowly turned his head, his face full of shock.

"Lao Gong, I have your child in my belly." As Sun Jiaojiao spoke, she reached for his hand to touch her stomach.

"Ouch..." Manager Gong pulled back his hand, almost crying. "Don't call me 'husband, husband.' I'm not your husband."

Manager Gong's reaction was a bit beyond Sun Jiaojiao's expectations.

"Sun Jiaojiao, what are you joking about? We all have families. Can you be more realistic? What pregnancy?" Manager Gong was so excited that he didn't feel weak anymore, and his words flowed smoothly.

He and Sun Jiaojiao had agreed from the beginning that they would just take what they needed from each other. They were just having fun and never thought about having any children with her. He didn't want to have children, and even if he did, he couldn't have them with her. He didn't expect this woman to secretly tamper with the condoms.

If his tigress at home found out about this, even if he could get ashore safely, he would be dead when he got back.

Sun Jiaojiao didn't expect Gong Dalong to be so heartless. She was furious, stood up abruptly, walked to his bed, and pointed her finger at his nose: "Look at your cowardly appearance! I didn't say I wanted you to divorce and marry me. I wouldn't even agree to let you be this child's father in a legitimate way!"

Although she had never thought about being with Gong Dalong, Gong Dalong's attitude still made Sun Jiaojiao feel disheartened.

"I definitely can't marry you. Once we get ashore, you have to get rid of the child!" Gong Dalong clutched his wound. At this moment, he was so upset that even his wound didn't hurt as much.

"You wish! An abortion is out of the question. Don't worry, I'll raise the child myself. I'll never let him know that his real father is a useless coward."

When she decided to borrow seed to have a child, she carefully selected the child's father, but who knew she was blind and picked a piece of "dog shit."

"You!" Manager Gong was so angry that his face turned red, and he couldn't speak for a moment. Then he softened: "Jiaojiao, listen to me. Don't have this child. How about this, you name a price. I'll pay for it. I'll compensate you for your physical and mental losses."

She was saying that she would raise it herself now, but if something happened to her in the future, or if the child had any problems, would she let him off? He didn't want to have a ticking time bomb hanging over his head for the rest of his life.

It was said that even tigers wouldn't eat their cubs, but Sun Jiaojiao didn't expect this man to be so cruel.

Seeing that he was determined not to let her keep the child, her eyes instantly turned cold: "Gong Dalong, I'll say it one more time, I want this child, and no one can take him away. If you have any crooked ideas, I'll definitely make sure your family is in turmoil."

Seeing that Sun Jiaojiao was determined to keep the child in her belly, Gong Dalong, who was lying on the bed, clenched his fists, regretting that he hadn't been able to control himself in the first place.

The hull of the boat was constantly washed by the surging waves. Sun Jiaojiao was a little seasick, and Gong Dalong's attitude stimulated her. She suddenly felt nauseous, and a bitter liquid surged up from her stomach. There was nothing left in her stomach to vomit, but she still couldn't help but want to vomit.

She leaned against the wall and waded through the water that had reached the backs of her shoes to the corner and dry heaved. Since she locked the door, she and Gong Dalong could only eat, drink, and relieve themselves here.

In order to prevent this small room from smelling too bad, she tried to eat and drink as little as possible. In fact, even if she wanted to eat and drink a lot, there wasn't that much food.

It was better when the tide was out, and the discarded garbage and waste were all in the slightly tilted corner. But now that the tide was rising, the water on the floor had risen to her ankles, and the excrement and vomit in the previous corner were slowly floating over with the water, making Sun Jiaojiao want to vomit even more.

Originally, she thought that occupying a room and half of the supplies would make her life better than the people outside, but now it seemed that it was just a self-imposed prison.
