Before Erin passed away, Stella, who was on the speedboat, sat paralyzed on the ground with a blank mind, unable to gather her thoughts or even suminon the courage to turn aroundâ¦
Henry, with his hands completely broken, endured the pain and reached out to cover her hand, saying, âStella, donât be afraid. Once weâre safe, I will send someone to save Erinâ¦â
He could tell that Stella didnât want to use the gun, but Erin had pushed Stella to this point with his outrageous behavior.
Stella quickly got up and walked towards the speedboat.
âAre there any medicine, knives, or bandages on the boat?â
She had to act fast and not waste any time. She needed to find these medical tools and quickly help Henry or else his hands would be useless.
Restless and anxious, she frantically searched through the things on the boat, appearing as if she was madly looking for tools, but in reality, even she didnât know what she was looking for.
Henryâs eyes focused on her panicked figure and after staring for a while, he asked inexplicably, âStella, do you still love Erin?â
Was it because of Erin that she felt so helpless?
Stella, who was rummaging through things, suddenly stopped. Without hesitating, she denied Henry, saying, âI havenât loved him for a long time.â
After saying this, she stabilized her mind and finally noticed the medical kit stashed in the corner, which was always stocked on the speedboat.
She took out the useful hemostatic medicine and bandages, rushed to Henry, and quickly stopped his bleeding. Her trembling hands gradually steadiedâ¦
âAfter we reach the shore, weâll go to the hospital first.â
Henry raised his gaze and looked at Stella.
âWhat about Erinâ¦â
Stellaâs face turned even paler.
âHeâs very skilled in medicine. Heâll be fine.â
Erin, who was hailed as a medical genius since childhood, was already beyond comparison for both her and Henry.
Stella comforted herself, believing that such a large estate must have surgical tools and medicine prepared. Erin wouldnât be willing to die like this; he would save himself, he definitely would.
While comforting herself, her heart sank, as if something was She leaned against the edge of the speedboat, clutching her knees tightly, slowly turned her head and looked at the small island that had become a black dot in her line of sightâ¦
The speedboat quickly reached the shore. Stella collected her thoughts and helped Henry onto the shore. She noticed a sign on the roadside.
It was then that she realized she was in the country Erin had promised to take her to when they were young.
He hadnât forgotten the promise he made back thenâ¦
When Henryâs blood dripped onto her skin from his wrist, Stella suddenly came to her senses. She called a car and quickly took Henry to the hospital.
Sitting outside the operating room, Stella stared blankly at the blood on her hands, unable to distinguish whether it belonged to Henry or Erin, but it was unsettling nonetheless.
As she blankly stared down, a pair of custom-made shoes suddenly appeared before her eyes. She looked up from the shoes, following the pants, and saw a flawlessly beautiful face. The owner of this face had a pair of cold, snowy eyes, looking indifferent at herâ¦.
âMr. Evansâ¦â
James nodded slightly, his gaze distant, beyond her, towards the operating room.
âIs his injury serious?â
Stella nodded.
âHenryâs tendons in his hand were severed.â
After saying that, Stella looked up at James and asked, âMr. Evans, why are you here?â
James blinked his thick eyelashes lightly.
Before boarding the plane, he had a vague sense of foreboding, feeling that something was going to happen. Erin, being as intelligent as he was, wouldnât have so blatantly revealed the locations of three countries for them to find. It must have been a smokescreen to deceive them.
But the private jet was already flying along the route and couldnât be changed. He could only wait until they reached their destination and then, with the information provided by Anthony, track Henryâs flight and follow them to Panama.
He had already been fast enough, but he didnât expect to be one step too late. However, knowing Erinâs nature, he wouldnât let Stella go easily. Did they manage to escape after a fierce fight?
At this critical moment, James didnât inquire about the details. He withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, and looked at Stella, who was covered in blood.
Are you okay?
Stella shook her head and helplessly wiped the bloodstains from her clothes.
Seeing her flustered and seeming to have something on her mind, James couldnât help but ask, âWhere is Erin?â
