Priscilla teared up and cried until her face was covered in tears. Then, she said while sniffling, "It's great that you're alive. We've been living with great guilt for the past decade. It was heartbreaking to see a good boy die while saving Holls."Abelin wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "Please don't cry, Aunt Priscilla. I'm here now, aren't I? Holly suffered because of me, so saving her was the right thing to do.""About your injuries…"Priscilla was about to lift up his coat and check the scars on his body. However, Abelin quickly stopped her and said with a smile, "I'm fine, Aunt Priscilla. You don't have to worry."She opened her bag and took out a card from her wallet. Then, she shoved it in his hands. "This is a little something from me. The password is Holls' birthdate—618618. Since you saved her life and suffered so much, you should take this money and enjoy yourself."Holly gave Priscilla the card while they were on their way there. She knew that Abelin definitely

It was a long journey that took three hours, and Bryce and Holly finally arrived at the crash site. After they got out of the car, they stood on the pier in the middle of the night and looked into the distance.There didn't seem to be an end to the vast ocean. The waves crashed on the shore, sounding like they were crying.The authorities had sent out rescue teams and began searching the area. However, the ocean was too big, and the waves were too strong. They looked tiny in the middle of the ocean.Holly's face appeared pale as she looked at the water. Her heart was as cold as the night. Bryce held her cold fingers and said, "The rescue team I've sent is already searching, so just wait for the good news. He'll definitely be alright."Although that might be the case, there was no way she wouldn't be worried. Holly stared into the dark ocean and asked, "Are there any other boats?"He held her finger tightly. "What are you planning?""I want to search for him myself.""Don't be

"Is it Abelin?" Holly said, her voice trembling. Her heart beat wildly.Bryce stared at the bloated, disfigured face. He said in a low voice, "No. It's a random person.""Why did you cover my eyes, then?""You'll get nightmares. It's best if you don't look.""No. Let me look. Don't lie to me." Holly did her best to pry apart his fingers.Bryce was afraid she'd hurt herself, so he let go.Holly ran to the corpse, staring intently at the man's features.Three minutes later, she decided that it wasn't Abelin.She sighed in relief and hung her head. She apologized to the rescuer, "I'm sorry I troubled you."The families of the victims all surged toward the stretcher, fighting to see if the corpse belonged to their family member.Just like that, about four bodies were collected from noon until night.Everyone's heart was beating anxiously.They were all afraid that it would be their loved ones.As long as there was no body, it was possible that they were alive.No matter how m

Holly was finding it hard to communicate with Merope. "It was a plane. On top of the unnecessary waste of human life, it's hard to plan a plane crash."Merope sneered. "I heard all about it while I was coming here. The way the plane crashed indicated that it was deliberately headed toward the sea. "In other words, something must have happened in the cockpit or, to be precise, something must have happened to the pilot."She glared at Bryce in hatred. "With his power and wealth, meddling with a plane is child's play."Holle frowned slightly. "Calm down, Aunt Trista. Don't blame anyone before the investigation is even over."Merope roared, "How can I calm down? That's my son! He's the only son that I have. I pray with all my heart that he returns home safely, but all I get is bad news. How can I fucking calm down?"Holly felt extremely guilty.Abelin had indeed stayed in Jardington for her.If he hadn't come to Jardington, he could be alive right now.Sensing her guilt, Bryce pa

The medics carried Abelin into the ambulance.The moment the doors closed, he relaxed immediately.The doctor expertly treated his wounds.Abelin closed his eyes, his eyebrows furrowing. He put his arms on his abdomen, his face twisted in pain.He'd been keeping it together earlier. He didn't want Holly to worry, and he didn't want to let her see him in a vulnerable state.Men liked to act tough in front of the people they loved.A lot of his muscles had been torn. Since he'd been lost at sea for a few days without medical equipment, some of his wounds were already infected and were oozing with pus.His ribs were broken, and he was bleeding internally.Despite all that, he was alive.He was the only survivor so far.It would be easy to give up on living after drifting at sea for days, succumbing to fear, hunger, and exhaustion.However, the thought of Holly reignited his desire and will to live.It was just like 13 years ago when he was burned in the fire. His lungs were al
