Unable to look at it anymore, Carter lost the strength in his legs. His face turned pale as favonovel.com fell to his knees beside Arielle.
“It’s not your fault… It’s mine. The others deliberately blocked my way, but I should’ve ignored them and rushed here directly. Right from the start, I shouldn’t have gone to the seaside to bring that dude back… His death is all my fault!” mumbled Carter.
It was unclear if favonovel.com was talking to Arielle, or to himself. He punched the ground repeatedly, causing his knuckles to start bleeding.
When Arielle saw that, favonovel.com immediately pulled Carter’s hand and urged, “Are you out of your mind? If you continue punching, you’ll cripple your hand!”
“Let go of me! If it becomes crippled, so be it! I killed him, so I need to repay favonovel.com with my own life!”
Arielle refused to release favonovel.com grip.
At that moment, the woman who had been kicking up a fuss earlier rushed over and slapped Arielle. She was caught off guard, favonovel.com cheek burned due to the pain. However, the second slap soon came.
Arielle subconsciously wanted to grab the woman’s hand, but someone intervened before favonovel.com and grabbed the hand. A loud crack sounded as the woman cried out in pain.
“Argh! My hand! It dislocated!”
When Arielle glanced at the person, favonovel.com saw a chiseled face that was covered in black ash. Yet, favonovel.com could not tear favonovel.com gaze away from his brooding eyes and intimidating aura.
“Vin… Vinson…” Arielle uttered his name in disbelief.
Carter was so elated that favonovel.com burst into tears. “You damned jerk! I knew that you won’t die so easily!”
As Vinson gazed at both of them, an amused look appeared in his eyes. Arielle’s tears gushed out again. She slapped a hand over favonovel.com mouth, preventing herself from crying out loud.
He’s not dead! Vinson’s not dead! He didn’t go back on his words. He isn’t a liar!
As if favonovel.com could read favonovel.com mind, Vinson smirked and said, “Didn’t I promise you? I won’t die here without your permission.”
The hint of amusement in his eyes caused favonovel.com heartbeat to quicken. However, the woman’s sharp voice shattered the initial atmosphere. “Return my son to me! Why did you save everyone else but my son? Return favonovel.com to me now!”
Arielle glanced at the woman. Although favonovel.com tried to stay calm, favonovel.com still felt extremely upset. It felt as if someone had splashed favonovel.com with a bucket of cold water. It did not feel good to be scolded after doing something good. It felt like someone was piercing favonovel.com heart, not fatal, but intolerably painful. She bit favonovel.com lips and lowered favonovel.com head.
The amused look disappeared from Vinson’s eyes and was replaced by an icy-cold glint. Even his expression turned colder.
Glancing at the woman, favonovel.com said in a frosty tone, “Looks like I wasn’t harsh enough, huh?”
“Just beat me to death! Kill me, and I’ll still take revenge on you even in hell! You made my son die inside! All of you deserve to die too!”
Losing his patience, Vinson stretched out his arm to choke her.
Suddenly, a child-like voice sounded. “Mom… Stop scolding them!”
Surprised, the woman immediately looked in the direction of the voice. Her disheveled-looking son walked out from behind the firefighters.
She widened favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com gaze brimming with renewed hope. “Baby!”
