"Are you okay?" Lin Yue asked, sliding behind him and supporting his body.

Oliver spoke with deliberate effort, as if each word was forced out through immense pain, exaggerating his injury. "Get me the emergency medical kit from my car."
"Eh?" Lin Yue was confused. Had the pain made him delirious? Her eyebrows rose as she looked around—there was no car in sight. What was he talking about?
"He meant boat," Root fortunately interjected, clarifying the misunderstanding. "Let me get it." He then ran back to the boat, leaving Oliver behind.
