My Mommy Is A CEO

The first one to react was Kyle, who shouted loudly, “Pull them up first!” Everyone then realized and worked together to rescue Arthur and Lucia.

Back on solid ground, a sense of safety flooded Arthur’s heart and he finally dared to take a breath. But before he could even settle in, a familiar figure threw herself into his arms – warm and soft. Arthur sighed inwardly with joy – it was his Lucia…

“Arthur, I’m sorry, Arthur…” Lucia threw herself into Arthur’s arms, crying out in agony, “It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault…” Her arms were still stained with Arthur’s blood and covered in a large patch as if she had been injured herself.

Arthur’s physical strength had long been exhausted, but even so, he struggled to lift his hand and gently pat Lucia’s back, comforting her with the softest voice,

“It’s okay now. Everything has passed…”

“Your hand…” Lucia choked back tears and, through the mist of her emotions, reached out to Arthur’s hand. Her trembling fingers traced the gaping wound that marred his arm. In that moment, her composure shattered, and she found herself gasping for breath between sobs.

“It’s just a small injury.” Arthur wrapped his arms around Lucia, and truly, he couldn’t feel any pain in his arms as he held her close.

It was heartbreaking enough when Arthur didn’t say those words, but when he spoke them, it was even more heart-wrenching for Lucia. Whether it was from sobbing too hard or exhaustion taking over, she suddenly blacked out and collapsed into Arthur’s arms. However, Arthur wasn’t worried; he knew that Lucia was truly exhausted.

Arthur remained silent, and no one dared to move. A group of people surrounded them as they lay on the ground, their faces alternating between laughter and discomfort. Each of them had become a typical embodiment of contradiction.

“Mr. Davies,” Kyle wiped his slightly reddened eyes and gently nudged Arthur, “I think it’s best we head back for now. I’ll send a team down to search for Jacob and… Dan’s bodies.”

Victor immediately said, “I’m going too!”

Victor had always been the person who hated Dan most, and there was not a single person present who didn’t hate him. However, his recent actions had truly shocked everyone, and silently in their hearts, everyone admitted that he was a real man!

Arthur nodded and wrapped his arm around Lucia’s waist and leg, preparing to stand up. Everyone quickly stopped him and said, “Mr. Davies, you’re already in this state. Let us help you!”

Arthur shook his head silently and tried his best to lift Lucia up, but as soon as he stood up straight, he began to tremble uncontrollably. Kane quickly rushed over to support him.

“Arthur!”

Who can change Arthur’s decision? Everyone can only follow him step by step, afraid that he will also faint like Lucia. But Arthur was tough, he actually managed to carry Lucia all the way back. However, as soon as they got on the car, he collapsed in his seat while still holding her. It was obvious that he was exhausted and powerless.

Victor felt very distressed, but couldn’t help but say something sarcastic, “I told you not to act tough.” Before he could finish his sentence, Jack gave him a hard punch from behind. This time, Victor didn’t dare to ask why he was hitting him.

Arthur hooked the corner of his lips, and Victor’s words seemed to please him greatly. He reached out and touched Lucia’s slightly cold face, finally able to relax his tense nerves as he slowly closed his eyes.

As soon as Kane saw Arthur close his eyes, he quickly made a gesture for everyone to be quiet and gathered around the car. All eyes were on Arthur’s smiling face and Lucia, whom he held tightly in his arms and refused to let go of.

“Truly a match made in heaven…” Victor couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

“Okay,” Jack also laughed and lowered his voice, “they are all injured. Send them back to the hotel for treatment, and you and I will take people to search for Jacob and Dan who fell off the cliff.”

“Okay, then let’s split up,” Kyle said. “We’ll first take Mr. Davies and Ms. Webb back.”

After speaking, everyone went their own way. Kyle and the others rushed back to the hotel, while Jack and Victor led the team to search for a path down the cliff to find the bodies. Although the edge of the cliff was extremely steep, there were always places where they could climb down. Moreover, Jack and Victor were both seasoned warriors who had been through countless battles; a mere sea cliff posed no threat to them.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the foot of the cliff. While climbing up, they saw sharp rocks on the cliff stained with blood, indicating how tragic Jacob and Dan’s fall must have been.

Victor couldn’t help but sigh, “He’s quite a man…”

“Well, no one would have thought that he was willing to sacrifice himself to save Lucia,” Jack’s tone contained a hint of admiration.

“After we locate his body, let’s personally take him back. It would be a way of bringing him home,” Victor uttered rare words touched with warmth, revealing the profound impact of Dan’s gesture on him.

However, when they discovered Jacob’s body on the shore, both of them froze simultaneously. The bodyguards behind them mirrored the same expressions of disbelief, one by one.

“This…” It took Jack a long time to squeeze out his words, “Is it possible?”

“He also comes from a mercenary background, possessing extraordinary physical strength and endurance. It’s possible that he might…” Victor hesitated before responding.

That night, a cool sea breeze blew in from the ocean, sweeping over the palm trees and slipping quietly into everyone’s presence along with the moonlight.

A group of men wearing only beach shorts lay flat on outdoor lounge chairs in front of the hotel. Beer bottles were piled up on the ground beside them. Despite their exhaustion, they enjoyed the sea breeze while chatting and drinking. This way of celebrating victory seemed more fitting for these men than simply going to bed to rest.

“Thank goodness,” Nick burped and said, “we succeeded in the end. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to sit here leisurely drinking.”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“I never doubted this outcome,” Kane and Gene clinked their beer bottles together and laughed. “Arthur would rescue Lucia sooner or later. I never doubted him.”

“But we really owe Dan this time… It’s a bit regrettable…” Gene sympathized with Dan’s sacrifice as birds of a feather flock together.

“I respect him for being a real man, and I’m grateful for his sacrifice,” Kyle was quite rational about it all. “However, that doesn’t excuse his past mistakes. Although he saved Ms. Webb today, he used to help Spencer do evil things too. I don’t think there is anything regrettable about it. Instead… maybe he felt it was worth dying for Lucia himself.”

Kyle’s words made sense. Everyone could only sigh at how unpredictable fate can be.
