The two hailed a car, and the driver kindly picked them up. After getting into the car, Jane realized they were now in France.
The French driver spoke authentic French, and it was a bit challenging for Jane to understand. While she knew French, this kind of genuine, local language was unfamiliar, just like Standard English and its Scotch.
Listening to the French driver say many words, Jane could only barely grasp a few of them. He probably meant they were in a remote coastal area of France.
Jane didn’t understand much, but Giovanni, with his blond hair and blue eyes, could fluently converse with the French driver.
This made her wonder about Giovanni’s identity. He seemed to be French, so why was he living at
sea?
While pondering this, the car stopped, and the French driver dropped them off on a street in a small town. Jane felt relieved as she looked around the exotic French streets.
Turning to Giovanni, she said, “Now that we’re here, let’s go back to our respective places.”
But Giovanni grabbed her arm, preventing her from leaving, and said, “You can’t go.”
Perplexed, Jane asked, “Why not?”
“Because… this is the dock where the cargo ship we escaped on docked. If you go alone and get caught again, no one can save you,” Giovanni explained.
Concerned, Jane looked around and noticed many Chinese people in this small town. Despite its size, it was quite lively, and there should be a dock where ships were parked.
“Follow me!” Giovanni said, taking Jane’s hand and leading her in a particular direction.
Soon, they entered a tavern in the small town, where many people from different races were present. Giovanni’s presence didn’t attract much attention as he brought Jane, a Chinese woman, inside.
At the bar, Giovanni ordered two glasses of whisky in fluent French and borrowed the bar’s phone to make a call. Jane remained silent throughout.
As Giovanni finished his call, he drank the whisky in his glass and observed Jane, who was still looking around. He slid the glass towards her and said, “Why don’t you drink it? It’s cold in the sea. Drinking this will warm you up.”
Jane snapped back to reality and accepted the offer. After all, she wasn’t opposed to drinking, especially when her body was still cold from soaking in seawater. She took a couple of sips.
Giovanni’s interest in Jane grew as he noticed her accepting the drink without hesitation. He found her neat and composed personality appealing.
Jane turned to Giovanni, who seemed to be staring at her, and asked, “Why are you staring at me?”
In response, Giovanni simply said, “You look good, leaving Jane rolling her eyes and looking away.
Wondering what to do next, Jane asked, “What now?”
“Wait,” Giovanni replied.

“Wait for what?”
“For whoever comes to pick us up,” Giovanni explained, taking another sip of his drink.
Understanding that Giovanni had probably called someone to come and pick him up, Jane decided to call Dreak first to let him know she was safe.
However, before she could speak, Giovanni interrupted her, lowering his voice and whispering, “Do you see that? That’s the crew member who was on the ship before.”
Following his gaze, Jane spotted a black hair man in the crowd. Giovanni had recognized him as someone from the ship.
When Jane questioned how he knew, Giovanni replied, “He was the one who rescued me from the sea. Don’t you think I would recognize him?”
Accepting his explanation, Jane forgot to call Dreak as she waited with Giovanni for over an hour until the person he was expecting finally arrived.
A middle–aged man quickly entered the tavern, scanned the area, and approached Giovanni. He respectfully addressed him in French, calling him “Young Master.”
After some discussion, Giovanni stood up, taking Jane’s hand, and they left the tavern. The luxurious black car parked outside had drawn considerable attention in the small town.
As Giovanni got into the car with Jane, she hesitated, wanting to go home instead. But Giovanni reminded her that it might be dangerous to leave him, as the people they were running from might find her.
He assured her that if she came with him, he would help her see her child. Trusting him based on their shared escape experience, Jane agreed to go with him.
With Jane’s agreement, Giovanni felt satisfied. He planned to investigate her identity and keep her by his side. He also promised to help her reunite with her child.
