Chapter 413

At this moment, the world was shrouded with darkness. The sea raged, and the wind howled. Towering waves surged one after another. Against this chaos, the boat seemed pitifully insignificant.

Jack was surprised to discover the boat was empty. He instantly dripped off cold sweat.

With the help of the faint light of the boat, he noticed that Phoebe and Feena had fallen into the water.

This shock was nothing short of terrifying.

Even with Jack's exceptional abilities, he couldn't help but be crippled by panic and fear.

Looking at how the waves had taken the ladies, he was caught in a dilemma. Who should he save?

If he were to save Feena, Phoebe would drown in the water. But if he were to save Phoebe, someone like Feena, who wouldn't even dare step into a river, would be completely hopeless.

Phoebe and Feena held a special place in Jack's heart. He liked them and couldn't bear the idea of anything bad happening to them under his watch.

The worst part was that they were equally far from him. Jack stood at the front of the boat, unable to decide.

"J-Jack, save Feena. I've learned how to swim over the last two years."

In the surging waves, Phoebe noticed that Jack was panicking. She knew what he was thinking, so she made the decision for him.

Fenna, on the other hand, was barely keeping herself afloat. She couldn't even utter a word.

"Be careful, Phoebe."

There was no more time to lose. As Jack hesitated, Feena drifted further from him.

If he were to hesitate another second, this girl-next-door would disappear without a trace in the vast sea.

Jack threw the only life buoy on the boat to Phoebe. Then, with a huge splash, he jumped into the sea and effortfully swam toward the direction Feena had disappeared into.

At this moment, Feena was dizzy and disoriented, feeling as if death was just around the corner.

She couldn't swim and struggled with all her might to stay afloat. However, she felt her body sinking deeper, eventually falling into the bottomless sea.

Feena drank a lot of seawater, but her mind was oddly clear-headed at this moment.

Perhaps this was what they called a dying man's final glimmer, a fleeting moment of clarity before inevitable darkness.

The first person he thought of was Jack, wondering if he would come and save her.

After all, Jack grew up by the riverside. Back then, he had saved Phoebe from the river's south side, showcasing his strong swimming skills. He was also a capable man, so he should have been able to rescue her.

However, Feena remembered that she had fallen into the sea with Phoebe.

Who would he save? Herself or Phoebe?

She had no idea.

Not to mention, this was the vast, endless sea. Even if he wanted to save them, he probably wouldn't be able to.

If Jack didn't choose to save her, she wouldn't blame him.

Jack had moved her heart countless times. He was also the only man she loved and couldn't let go of.

She would rather die than see Jack risk his own life for her.

However, Feena was filled with an endless sense of regret that, at her dying breath, she could not make up for the mistake she had made to tell his face earnestly that she had feelings for him and even fell in love with him.

Previously, Jack had confessed his feelings to Feena publicly, but she had silently rejected him.

If there were a remedy for regret in this world, if only she could turn back time and return to that very day, Feena would tell Jack with everybody as her witness that she was willing to be his girlfriend.

She would tell him that she liked him, that she had fallen in love with him, and that she would eventually marry him. They would support each other through thick and thin and grow old together.

However, there was no place for "ifs". Everything was about to come to an end.
