The Cullinan drove into the estate.

James was already waiting outside the door, and he went forward to open the car door.

"Sir, Miss Su, welcome back." He bowed slightly and then directed two servants to start moving things.

Shen Fei helped Su Man out of the car and smiled at James: "It seems Miss Su will be quite busy in the next few days."

Su Man's cheeks flushed, and she whispered, "How can I wear so much?"

Whether you wear it or not is your business; whether I buy it or not is mine.

The moment the two entered the main building, everyone felt instantly relaxed.

Su Man walked to the edge of the terrace and took a deep breath of the air, which was salty and smelled of pine.

"Shall we go for a walk on the beach?" she suggested. "My legs are a little sore from walking for so long."

"it is good."

Shen Fei readily agreed.

The estate has a private beach that is not open to the public, with fine sand interspersed with black reefs.

The two took off their shoes and walked barefoot on the beach, the waves washing over their ankles.

"You seem to really like the sea." Shen Fei looked at Su Man's profile, her hair gently blowing in the sea breeze.

"Yes," Su Man nodded, "the sea can broaden one's mind."

Just then, Su Man stopped.

She pointed to a group of rocks not far away and asked somewhat uncertainly, "What's that? A white plastic bag?"

Shen Fei looked in the direction she pointed and narrowed his eyes.

The reef was about fifty meters away from them, and there was indeed a white thing on it.

But unlike a plastic bag, it seems to be moving slightly.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly walked over.

Only when you get closer can you see that it is a very small seal pup.

Its body was covered in white fur, its face was black, and its big, wet eyes looked at them with fear in them.

Its body was very weak, and it lay motionless on the reef, with only faint breathing to prove that it was still alive.

"Oh my god...it seems to have gotten separated from its mother." Su Man said, squatting down, wanting to get closer but not daring to, afraid of scaring the little guy.

Shen Fei immediately took out his phone and called Pete.

"Pete, come to my private beach, quick."

Less than ten minutes later, Pete arrived in an all-terrain vehicle.

He spotted the baby seal immediately, and his expression turned serious.

"Boss, these are harp seal pups, we call them white-robed. At this time of year, they should be with their mothers on the ice floes to the north."

Pete checked on the baby seal and shook his head.

"It's too weak. Its hind fin looks like it's been scratched by something, though not deeply. If we leave it here, it'll be gone with the next wave after high tide."

"What should we do then?" Su Man asked anxiously.

"Take it back to the manor first," Shen Fei decided immediately. "James, have someone clean the spare seawater therapy pool next to the tennis court, fill it with fresh seawater, and lower the salinity."

He gave instructions to the butler directly through the terminal on his wrist.

Pete found a soft blanket, carefully wrapped the baby seal in it, and carried it into the car.

Su Man stayed by her side the whole time, her eyes full of worry.

Back at the manor, the seawater therapy pool was ready.

It was a small, round pool, about twenty square meters in size, with very clear water.

Pete gently placed the baby seal into the water.

The little guy seemed to have regained some sense of security. He slowly paddled in the water a few times, then weakly floated on the surface, looking at the people on the shore with his big eyes.

"We're finally safe." Su Man breathed a sigh of relief.

However, things are not that simple.

Just a moment ago it was sunny, but suddenly a thick fog rose up on the sea.

White fog rolled in from the Atlantic Ocean and quickly engulfed the entire coastline, making the manor seem as if it were surrounded by fog.

The temperature dropped as well, and the sea breeze felt biting cold.

"This damn weather," Pete cursed. "Looks like a storm is brewing."

New problems soon emerged.

Following information found online, James mixed fish puree with a special milk substitute, intending to feed it to the baby seal.

But the little guy only smelled it, then weakly turned his head to one side, showing no interest in eating it at all.

Its body began to tremble, not from fear, but from the loss of life.

Su Man reached out and touched its fur; it was icy cold to the touch.

"It seems... to be getting weaker and weaker."

Su Man's voice trembled slightly as she looked up at Shen Fei with pleading eyes.

In her eyes, there was only helplessness for a little life that was about to die.

"It's sick." Shen Fei's face also darkened.

Shen Fei recalled Su Man's usual professional and capable demeanor, her gentle smile, and her shyness when facing him. But he had never seen her like this before, her eyes filled with a heartbreaking helplessness.

That look made Shen Fei's heart skip a beat.

In this place, everything is under his control. He can command schools of fish, attract whales, and make capital bow down.

But now, looking at the little creature dying in the pool, he felt for the first time that his abilities were useless.

He can command a shark, but he can't command this little seal to live.

He walked over, squatted down next to Su Man, and gently placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

His voice was steady, which gave Su Man a bit of strength.

"We must find a veterinarian." Shen Fei stood up, his tone leaving no room for argument.

He immediately called the local veterinarian.

The phone rang for a long time before being answered, and a tired voice came from the other end.

"Hello, is this Dr. Green? I'm Shen Fei from Dasheng Manor. I have a sick seal cub here, and the situation is urgent."

"Oh, Mr. Shen," Dr. Green sighed on the other end of the line, "I'm very sorry, but I'm on the other side of the peninsula. There's a herd of cattle on a farm here suffering from diarrhea, and I simply can't leave. And to be honest, I'm not an expert in first aid for marine mammals."

Shen Fei frowned.

"What about St. John's? The Marine Animal Rescue Center?"

"Look at the weather outside, sir," Dr. Green said, his voice even more helpless. "With such thick fog and crosswinds, there's no way a helicopter can take off. And I just heard that the main road leading to the city has been blocked by a landslide due to the weather."

"How long will it take to get it working?"

"Who knows? Maybe in a few hours, maybe... tomorrow."

Shen Fei hung up the phone, his expression turning extremely serious.

Money and connections were rendered useless on this night, shrouded in thick fog and storm.

He turned around and saw Su Man kneeling by the pool, gently stroking the little seal's head with her hand.

The baby seal's eyes were half-open, and its breathing was so weak that the rise and fall were almost invisible.

Su Man's eyes reddened. Although she didn't cry, her sadness and helplessness made those watching her feel even worse.

"Shen Fei... is there really no other way?"

Helpless?

No.

The phrase "helpless" does not exist.

The conventional methods failed, which conveniently provided an opportunity for a miracle to occur.

He walked over, squatted down, pulled Su Man into his arms, and covered her eyes with his hands.

"Don't look."

His voice was calm.

"Trust me, close your eyes and count to ten."

Su Man didn't understand why, but the unquestionable tone made her subconsciously do as he said.

She leaned against his chest and could clearly hear his steady, powerful heartbeat.

"one two three……"

The moment Su Man closed her eyes, Shen Fei's gaze changed, revealing a cold indifference towards all things in the world.

He didn't speak, but slowly stretched one hand towards the surface of the physiotherapy pool.

In an instant, the entire circular pool seemed to come alive.

A pale blue glow emanated from the bottom of the pool.

The water began to swirl around the baby seal's body in a strange way, forming a vortex.

An unseen force, flowing through the water, continuously surged into the baby seal's body.

The baby seal's previously cold and stiff body visibly relaxed.

It unconsciously shook its fur, and its weak breathing gradually became steady and powerful.

Those half-open eyes reopened, and a glimmer of life returned to their dark, bright pupils.

"……ninety."

Su Man finished counting.

She opened her eyes and saw Shen Fei smiling at her.

"Okay, it's alright now."

Su Man looked at the pool in disbelief.

The baby seal was no longer floating on the surface; instead, it happily rolled around in the water and even rubbed its little head against the pool wall, its big, dark eyes curiously observing them.

It... came back to life?

Not only did it come back to life, it's even more energetic than when it first arrived!

Su Man was completely stunned.

She looked at the baby seal, then at Shen Fei, and finally pointed at the lively little creature, stammering as she asked:

"What...what did you do to it?"

Shen Fei stood up, looking down at the little life that had regained its vitality in the pool, his tone indifferent, as if he had only done a trivial thing.

"It's nothing."

"I simply rejected its death application."
