Chapter 280
The bomb did not explode, and the countdown also stopped.
Briana and Mark breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. However, before they could finish exhaling,
the previously paused countdown began to rapidly decrease, apanied by the sound of “beep beep
beep“.
The next second, a slender hand suddenly reached out from the side, grabbed the dynamite and ran
out quickly.
“Maxim!”
Briana quickly got up and ran towards him, but she was still a step toote.
He had just thrown the bomb when it exploded with a loud “bang“.
A massive shockwave hit, and Briana fell directly to the ground, cking out.
Waking up again, Briana sat up abruptly, startling the person beside her hospital bed.
“Briana, are you awake?! Do you feel unwell anywhere?!”
Briana yanked the needle from her hand and grabbed Melody’s, demanding, “Where is Maxim?! Where
is he now?!”
“Don’t worry, he’s fine, just a bit seriously injured. He’s right now in the ward next to yours.”
No sooner had the words left her mouth than Briana let go and ran out

Pushing open the neighboring ward, she saw Maxim sitting on the hospital bed, his head wrapped in
gauze, his face still a bit pale. Briana ran straight towards him and hugged him tightly.
Feeling the warmth of his body, Briana finally let out a sigh of relief, her voice hoarse as she said.
“Thank goodness you’re okay…”
Maxim’s body stiffened for a moment, then he reached out to hold the slightly trembling Briana,
whisperingfortingly, “I’m fine, don’t worry.”
Briana’s eyes were red, filled with guilt and sadness in her heart.
“I’m sorry, because of me, you got hurt again.”
“This was all voluntary on my part, you didn’t need to feel any pressure.”
No sooner had the words fallen than Briana’s choked voice echoed in
my ear.
“Maxim, let’s start over,”
Having gone through so much, she had no doubt about Maxim’s feelings for her, so she was willing to
give each other a chance to start
over.
After all, knowing that the bomb could explode at any moment, he still steadfastly stayed with her. And
the moment he saw the bomb’s countdown rapidly decreasing and without hesitation picked up the
bomb and ran out, the high wall she had built in her heart had already copsed.
Maxim was stunned, remaining silent for several seconds before
speaking in a hoarse voice, “You don’t have to force yourself to be with

“No, it’s not gratitude. I wouldn’t be with someone just because I’m grateful.”
After a while, Maxim finally murmured, “Okay.”
Briana held him tightly around his waist, feeling a sense of settled dust in her heart.
She let go of Maxim, “Did you get hurt anywhere else besides your head?”
“No.”
“That’s good.”
Seeing that Briana was barefoot, Maxim frowned and carried her directly to the bed.
“How did you run out without wearing any shoes?”
Briana was a bit embarrassed, lowering her gaze and murmuring, “I was too worried about you just
now, I didn’t pay attention.”
“I went to get your shoes for you.”
No sooner had the words fallen than the door to the sickroom was pushed open. Kiley, with red–
rimmed eyes, strode in quickly.
“Maxim, I heard you got hurt…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she caught sight of the two people on the hospital bed, a sh of
disbelief crossing her eyes.
“You… you all…”
Maxim was indifferent, his face expressionless as he asked, “Do you

need something?”
Kiley bit her lower lip, her eyes full of grievance.
“Maxim, I came to see you.”
“I’m fine, you could go now.”
Kiley felt resentful, but after encountering the coldness in Maxim’s eyes, she finally stomped off.
