Renee wanted to meet Owen as soon as possible, so she didn't mind taking a few risks. After all, Quinton's condition could worsen the longer they delayed treatment.
"Only one?" The man was filled with disdain as he said coldly, "You have to pay extra for the captain."
"No, I can navigate it myself," Renee said casually.
"You're going to navigate it? You're just a woman!" The man scoffed in disbelief.
"Yes, and I have the license for it. In fact, I'm probably better at it than your men."
"Fine then. This is the first time I've met a woman like you, lady. You're something special." The man shook his head in wonder and gave Renee a small old dinghy. When she turned it on, smoke billowed out of it.
Well… she had asked for the cheapest boat.
Renee started coughing because of the smoke, but she could not complain because she was running out of time. It was fine as long as it could sail.
Vroom! She set off in the direction the man told her. The boat soared on the large waves, making her look like a cool superspy on a mission.
28 miles was not far, but it was considered a long distance at sea. People could reel in a good catch fishing here, but the cost was high, so not many would do so.
Renee saw a luxurious yacht from afar, and figured that Owen was on it. She immediately steered her boat towards it and approached the deck of that yacht. She then waved at the men and women on it. "Hello! What a coincidence, are you guys here to fish too?"
The men were undeniably handsome and refined, so the women tried their best to charm them. They were willing to take off their bikinis if that was what it took.
However, the only thing the men stared at was the sea.
"Do you know who they are?" One of the women asked the other.
"Yes, one of them is Owen Wagner, a top doctor. The other, well… his identity might surprise you." The woman looked at the man who sat with Owen and smiled like a love-struck schoolgirl.
"Who is he? He looks familiar," the other lady asked eagerly.
