Chapter 414

Feena thought, "Farewell, Jack. I hope your journey through life is smooth and

that now and then, you'll remember the woman you could never forget. I'll die with no regrets as long as I can live in your memories."

Just as Feena sank into the depths of despair, she suddenly felt a firm hold around her waist. A shadow pulled her upward, breaking through the water.

Gasping, she sucked in a lungful of air, the rush of oxygen making her dizzy. In that instant, she realized just how thin the line was between life and death.

Feena blinked, and when her vision cleared, she saw it was Jack.

His powerful arms held her close, his heavy breaths warm against her skin.

Relief and exhilaration washed over Feena, leaving her dazed. For a moment, she forgot the danger and everything happening.

She stared at Jack in the moonlit darkness. Even now, in the chaos of it all, there was something breathtakingly beautiful about him.

"Hold onto my shoulder. I'll take you to the boat," Jack said in a warm, deep voice. Feena nodded, her mind filled only with him. Whatever he said, she would do it.

She wrapped her arm around his waist, and he moved through the water with steady, unshakable strength.

Feena was no longer fearful with him around. As long as Jack was here, everything felt right.

Before long, they reached the boat. A figure stood on board. Who else could it be but Phoebe?

Earlier, the waves had thrown Phoebe to the edge of the boat. With sheer determination and the help of a life ring, she finally managed to climb back aboard.

Jack let out a breath of relief when he saw Phoebe.

He guided Feena closer as Phoebe steered the boat toward them.

Once they were safely ashore, Jack asked Phoebe, "Are you okay?"

Phoebe nodded and smiled. "I'm fine."

Jack finally relaxed and turned to Feena with concern. The latter looked pale as she answered, "I'm fine. I just swallowed some seawater."

While Feena was drifting on the waves earlier, she had nearly been submerged. Her stomach felt bloated as if seawater had flooded her insides.

"I'll help you get it out."

Jack immediately scooped her up and pressed gently on her abdomen, helping her expel the water. Seawater poisoning was no joke. Updates are released by find(ɴ)ovel.net

Feena felt better after vomiting, but all her strength was gone. She slumped weakly into Jack's arms, her head resting lightly against his chest.

Then, she murmured, "I... I'm a little cold. Can you... hold me?"

Under normal circumstances, Jack wouldn't have hesitated. Holding Feena had always been a dream buried deep in his heart. But right now, all he could think about was how unwell she looked.

Feena smiled happily at Jack's tight embrace. The howling wind and raging storm suddenly seemed less terrifying. As she listened to Jack's steady, powerful heartbeat, she felt as if she had the whole world.

However, Feena's mood soon dampened slightly. This embrace-no matter how much she wanted it was fleeting. It would never truly belong to her.

She had tried to probe Phoebe about Jack and Bella's relationship, hoping to hear that things weren't going well between them. If they weren't happy, maybe she'd have a chance.

But reality was cruel. Jack and Bella were deeply in love.

It made sense. Bella was beautiful, and the more she got to know Jack, the more she realized just how wonderful he truly was.
