The following morning, Jude awoke feeling much stronger. The herbal tea and the care of his wives had worked wonders. He sat up slowly, stretching his limbs and taking a deep breath. The fresh morning air filled his lungs, invigorating him.
Sophie was by his side immediately. "How are you feeling?"
"Better," Jude replied with a smile. "Much better. Thank you for everything."
The wives gathered around, their faces lighting up with relief at seeing Jude's improvement. They shared a simple breakfast, enjoying the calm of the morning and the beauty of their surroundings. The island, with its lush greenery and vibrant life, was a paradise, but it also held secrets that they were only beginning to uncover.
As they finished their meal, Jude felt a renewed sense of purpose. He knew there was much more to discover about the island and its history. The dreams, the visions, and the recent fainting spell were all pieces of a larger puzzle that he was determined to solve.
