"Miss Jiang is unwilling to let us on board," Dr. Shire said. "This is our only option. Otherwise, we'll be stuck here forever."
These giant-toothed sharks were so ferocious. If they stayed here, they'd have them for company, and a single misstep could mean getting hit by a blizzard.
This was a prospect they could not accept.
Jack's wife, her eyes red, asked Dr. Shire, "Dr. Shire, can't we just beg them one more time? God will bless them."
Dr. Shire shook his head. "There are so many of us. Taking us onto the Icebreaker would consume a great deal of their supplies. Why would they be willing? The fact that they've already promised to take us with them is an incredible act of kindness."
"If we can't get the yacht upright before tomorrow, they'll abandon us. We'll never see our families again."
"Even if this freakishly cold weather disappears, this cruise ship will never start again."
Dr. Shire's words plunged everyone into despair.
