Chapter 153


    Unable to look at it anymore, Carter lost the strength in his legs. His face turned pale as he fell to his


    knees beside Arielle. “It’s not your fault… It’s mine. The others deliberately blocked my way, but I


    should’ve ignored them and rushed here directly. Right from the start, I shouldn’t have gone to the


    seaside to bring that dude back… His death is all my fault!” mumbled Carter. It was unclear if he was


    talking to Arielle, or to himself. He punched the ground repeatedly, causing his knuckles to start


    bleeding. When Arielle saw that, she immediately pulled Carter’s hand and urged, “Are you out of your


    mind?


    If you continue punching, you’ll cripple your hand!” “Let go of me! If it bes crippled, so be it! I killed


    him, so I need to repay him with my own life!” Arielle refused to release her grip. At that moment, the


    woman who had been kicking up a fuss earlier rushed over and pped Arielle. She was caught off


    guard, her cheek burned due to the pain. However, the second p soon came. Arielle subconsciously


    wanted to grab the woman’s hand, but someone intervened before her and grabbed the hand. A loud


    crack sounded as the woman cried out in pain. “Argh! My hand! It dislocated!”


    When Arielle nced at the person, she saw a chiseled face that was covered in ck ash. Yet, she


    could not tear her gaze away from his brooding eyes and intimidating aura. “Vin… Vinson…” Arielle


    uttered his name in disbelief. Carter was so ted that he burst into tears. “You damned jerk! I knew


    that you won’t die so easily!” As Vinson gazed at both of them, an amused look appeared in his eyes.


    Arielle’s tears gushed out again. She pped a hand over her mouth, preventing herself from crying


    out loud. He’s not dead! Vinson’s not dead! He didn’t go back on his words. He isn’t a liar! As if he


    could read her mind, Vinson smirked and said, “Didn’t I promise you? I won’t die here without your


    permission.”


    The hint of amusement in his eyes caused her heartbeat to quicken. However, the woman’s sharp


    voice shattered the initial atmosphere. “Return my son to me! Why did you save everyone else but my


    son? Return him to me now!” Arielle nced at the woman. Although she tried to stay calm, she still felt


    extremely upset. It felt as if someone had sshed her with a bucket of cold water. It did not feel good


    to be scolded after doing something good. It felt like someone was piercing her heart—not fatal, but


    intolerably painful. She bit her lips and lowered her head.


    The amused look disappeared from Vinson’s eyes and was reced by an icy-cold glint. Even his


    expression turned colder. ncing at the woman, he said in a frosty tone, “Looks like I wasn’t harsh


    enough, huh?” “Just beat me to death! Kill me, and I’ll still take revenge on you even in hell!


    You made my son die inside! All of you deserve to die too!” Losing his patience, Vinson stretched out


    his arm to choke her. Suddenly, a child-like voice sounded. “Mom… Stop scolding them!” Surprised, the


    woman immediately looked in the direction of the voice. Her disheveled-looking son walked out from


    behind the firefighters. She widened her eyes, her gaze brimming with renewed hope. “Baby!”All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
