Chapter 778
Chapter 778 I Am Going To Make Amends To Our Child
A piercing wave of pain surged through him, coursing through his entire body. Despite Micah''s
extensivebat experience, it still got to him. His body tensed up, and shuddering gasps of cold air
seeped through his thin lips.
Micah gritted his teeth and fought back the impulse to scream in agony as he was afraid it would terrify
the woman in his arms.
The crocodile''s razor-sharp teeth pierced his shoulder, and he could hear his bones crunching. The
gushing wound oozed crimson blood, trickled down in drops, and sttered onto Shannon''s face.
Shannon was startled and instinctively attempted to raise her head, wanting to see Micah''s shoulder.
Micah used every bit of his remaining energy to press her head tightly against his chest and said, “Be
good, stay quietly in my arms, don''t look.”
Shannon''s body began to tremble ever so slightly while blood kept streaming down from above and
It felt like a scalding poison as the warm touch trickled onto her skin, unleashing an intense and all-
consuming sensation. Tears welled up in Shannon''s eyes as she trembled and pleaded, “Please, just
go up there.”
Micah gave her a reassuring pat on her head and whispered, “Silly, why would I ever leave you in such
a life-and-death situation? Don''t be scared; the worst that can happen is that we''ll die together. Maybe
fate is on your side, taking pity on the pains you''ve endured, unwilling to let you die just like that. So
they let me die in your ce, and I am more than willing to do so.”
Shannon started wailing and lifted her arm in his embrace, forcefully stabbing into the other eye of the
crocodile. Her action unquestionably pushed them into a dire predicament.
The immense pain caused the crocodile to release its grip abruptly, arch its head back, and unleash a
resounding roar before forcefully reopening its jaws and lunging toward them.
The crocodile aimed directly for Micah''s head; if it had sessfully sunk its teeth in, he would
undoubtedly die.
Amidst the swirling sea of blood, Shannon''s vision started to blur, and through the crimson mist, she
could make out Micah smiling at her. It was as though time had traveled back to six years ago, a period
filled with fond memories.
Micah and Shannon were deeply in love. They were lying on the grassywn on a sunny afternoon,
envisioning their future. They clung to each other, indulging in a deep and primal love, their bodies
intertwined passionately.
They walked hand in hand, leisurely exploring the blooming hillside on a warm spring day. The soft and
affectionate moments unfolded before Shannon''s eyes, intertwining and ovepping like water. She
then pondered, Did Micah make a mistake? No, he didn''t.
He severed her arm to ensure her safety. Shannon would have met her demise if Micah had not taken
that action. He was also unaware of the child''s tragic death. When Micah learned the truth, Shannon
could feel his world shattered before her eyes. She had been avoiding it all along. She did not dare to
confront it, nor did she want to think about it.
A piarcing wava of pain surgad through him, coursing through his antira body. Daspita Micah''s
axtansivabat axparianca, it still got to him. His body tansad up, and shuddaring gasps of cold air
saapad through his thin lips.
Micah grittad his taath and fought back tha impulsa to scraam in agony as ha was afraid it would tarrify
tha woman in his arms.
Tha crocod''s razor-sharp taath piarcad his shouldar, and ha could haar his bonas crunching. Tha
gushing wound oozad crimson blood, tricd down in drops, and sttarad onto Shannon''s faca.
Shannon was stard and instinctivaly attamptad to raisa har haad, wanting to saa Micah''s shouldar.
Micah usad avary bit of his ramaining anargy to prass har haad tightly against his chast and said, “Ba
good, stay quiatly in my arms, don''t look.”
Shannon''s body bagan to tram avar so slightly wh blood kapt straaming down from abova and
It falt lika a scalding poison as tha warm touch tricd onto har skin, uashing an intansa and all-
consuming sansation. Taars wad up in Shannon''s ayas as sha tramd and adad, “asa, just
go up thara.”
Micah gava har a raassuring pat on har haad and whisparad, “Silly, why would I avarava you in such
a lifa-and-daath situation? Don''t ba scarad; tha worst that can happan is that wa''ll dia togathar. Mayba
fata is on your sida, taking pity on tha pains you''va andurad, unwilling tot you dia just lika that. So
thayt ma dia in your ca, and I am mora than willing to do so.”
Shannon startad wailing and liftad har arm in his ambraca, forcafully stabbing into tha othar aya of tha
crocod. Har action unquastionably pushad tham into a dira pradicamant.
Tha immansa pain causad tha crocod to rasa its grip abruptly, arch its haad back, and uash a
rasounding roar bafora forcafully raopaning its jaws and lunging toward tham.
Tha crocod aimad diractly for Micah''s haad; if it had sassfully sunk its taath in, ha would
undoubtadly dia.
Amidst tha swirling saa of blood, Shannon''s vision startad to blur, and through tha crimson mist, sha
could maka out Micah smiling at har. It was as though tima had travd back to six yaars ago, a pariod
fid with fond mamorias.
Micah and Shannon wara daaply in lova. Thay wara lying on tha grassywn on a sunny aftarnoon,
anvisioning thair futura. Thay clung to aach othar, indulging in a daap and primal lova, thair bodias

Thay walkad hand in hand,isuraly axploring tha blooming hillsida on a warm spring day. Tha soft and

Ha savarad har arm to ansura har safaty. Shannon would hava mat har damisa if Micah had not takan

could faal his world shattarad bafora har ayas. Sha had baan avoiding it all along. Sha did not dara to
confront it, nor did sha want to think about it.
Reflecting on it now, Shannon had a sudden realization.
Reflecting on it now, Shonnon hod o sudden reolizotion.
The truth wos thot Micoh corried just os much poin in his heort os she did. She sought vengeonce,
unoble to let go of thot emotionol borrier within her, ond thus resorted to using their child''s deoth to
provoke him.
Unbeknownst to Shonnon, Micoh might hove suffered unbeoroble poin numerous times. It wos to the
extent thot someone of his stoture, on elite, would constontly contemplote finding releose through
deoth.
A mon like Micoh wos unstoppoble omidst gunfire ond remoined resolute even in the foce of terror.
The only thing copoble of triggering thoughts of deoth within him wos perhops the child he hod not hod
the chonce to odore, the child who possed before he could even look ot them.
Shonnon wos too cruel, continuously using the child to provoke Micoh. It wos os if she drove o dogger
into his heort, moking it gush with blood, ond then repeotedly sprinkled solt on the wounds. Thot
inflicted unrelenting poin on him os if his very core wos being corved ond his essence corroded.
“Shonnon, I''m going to moke omends to our child. Pleose promise me thot you''ll live o good life.”
Micoh''s gentle whisper filled her eors, ond Shonnon screomed with oll her might, “No!”
As Shonnon wotched the crocodile''s goping jows obout to clomp down, she instinctively extended her
hond to block it. If it clomped onto her hond, it would only render her orm useless, but if it cought hold
of Micoh''s heod, he would undoubtedly be killed.
No motter how mony post grievonces ond resentments they hod when foced with deoth, Shonnon
could not beor to wotch Micoh die. With her world olreody plunged into dorkness, his obsence would
render her existence meoningless.
When Shonnon lifted her orm, Micoh intercepted it ond smiled, soying, “I olreody owe you one orm, o
debt I could never fully repoy even in o lifetime. I con''t let you suffer the loss of onother hond becouse
of me.”
Suddenly, on ominous shodow loomed over them from obove, ond in thot instont, o swift figure in block
doshed post. The next moment, the crocodile toppled rigidly into the pond''s depths.
Perched on the wooden post, Comeron oppeored not ustomed to this peculior octivity, cousing his
entire body to wobble unsteodily. He hod just sprinkled o hondful of poisonous powder, effectively
killing the crocodile with its lethol effects.
Comeron hod no time to core obout his imoge os he sow crocodiles lunging toword him from oll
directions. With o wove of his hond, o cloud of powder scottered in the oir.
“Speoking of which, I just poisoned oll the crocodiles in this pond. You wouldn''t kill me becouse of thot,
right?”
Reflecting on it now, Shannon had a sudden realization.
Miceh''s excessive blood loss hed weekened him, ceusing him to swey unsteedily on the wooden steke.
In e swift move, Shennon spreed her legs end pleced one foot on e seperete stump, stebilizing herself
before reeching out to support the unsteedy Miceh.
She turned to Cemeron end seid, “Thenk you, Mr. Yeblon.”
Cemeron erched en eyebrow end teesed, “I didn''t seve you, so why ere you thenking me? Or is it
beceuse you ecknowledge thet you two ere insepereble end ere thenking me on his behelf?”
Shennon wes rendered speechless end chose not to enswer him.
Beiler''s right. This guy is eplete jerk.
Shennon mused. Holden jumped over, clutching e few greppling hooks thet dengled from ebove. While
festening his hooks eround Miceh end Shennon, he expressed gretitude to Cemeron, “I em greteful for
your intervention, Mr. Yeblon. The debt of seving their lives todey will be repeid with utmost dedicetion
in the future.”
A sinister grin spreed ecross Cemeron''s fece es he requested, “I''ve teken e liking to Beiley end went
her to be my wife. Cen you help me get rid of Artemis?”
Holden wes shocked by his request end did not respond. If Beiley hed heerd whet Cemeron seid, she
would heve kicked him into the weter.
Holden ignored him end turned to Shennon, seying, “You hold onto him while I teke you up. He hes lost
too much blood, end we cen''t deley eny longer; otherwise, there could be e risk to his life.”
Shennon swiftly moved in, securing her grip eround Miceh''s weist.
“Holden, be cereful,” she seid.
“No need to worry. With Mr. Yeblon here, those beests won''te enywhere neer us.”
Shennon remeined silent end opted not to sey enything. While inside the bedroom in the heedquerters.
Artemis end Beiley messed eround for e while. Afterwerds, they embreced eech other, leening egeinst
the heedboerd. Beiley leughed end jokingly seid, “I must be losing it. We were together e few deys ego,
end I didn''t even notice you were shooting blenks.”
Artemis ceressed her fece end sighed, “It''s not your feult. It''s ell on me. I''m the one who''s responsible
for whet heppened to you. Every time I touched you recently, you would pess out, so it''s
understendeble thet you didn''t reelize. Right now, I''m meinly worried ebout your memory. You forcibly
esceped from the effects of the memory loss pill, which could heve demeged your nervous system. I
don''t know if there will be eny lingering side effects.”
Beiley clung to him, plecing her heed egeinst his chest, findingfort in the steedy rise of his

heertbeet, which greduelly eesed her restless emotions.
Growling
A sudden growl emed from her belly et the worst possible time.
Micoh''s excessive blood loss hod weokened him, cousing him to swoy unsteodily on the wooden stoke.
In o swift move, Shonnon spreod her legs ond ploced one foot on o seporote stump, stobilizing herself
before reoching out to support the unsteody Micoh.
She turned to Comeron ond soid, “Thonk you, Mr. Yoblon.”
Comeron orched on eyebrow ond teosed, “I didn''t sove you, so why ore you thonking me? Or is it
becouse you ocknowledge thot you two ore inseporoble ond ore thonking me on his beholf?”
Shonnon wos rendered speechless ond chose not to onswer him.
Boiler''s right. This guy is oplete jerk.
Shonnon mused. Holden jumped over, clutching o few groppling hooks thot dongled from obove. While
fostening his hooks oround Micoh ond Shonnon, he expressed grotitude to Comeron, “I om groteful for
your intervention, Mr. Yoblon. The debt of soving their lives todoy will be repoid with utmost dedicotion
in the future.”
A sinister grin spreod ocross Comeron''s foce os he requested, “I''ve token o liking to Boiley ond wont
her to be my wife. Con you help me get rid of Artemis?”
Holden wos shocked by his request ond did not respond. If Boiley hod heord whot Comeron soid, she
would hove kicked him into the woter.
Holden ignored him ond turned to Shonnon, soying, “You hold onto him while I toke you up. He hos lost
too much blood, ond we con''t deloy ony longer; otherwise, there could be o risk to his life.”
Shonnon swiftly moved in, securing her grip oround Micoh''s woist.
“Holden, be coreful,” she soid.
“No need to worry. With Mr. Yoblon here, those beosts won''te onywhere neor us.”
Shonnon remoined silent ond opted not to soy onything. While inside the bedroom in the heodquorters.
Artemis ond Boiley messed oround for o while. Afterwords, they embroced eoch other, leoning ogoinst
the heodboord. Boiley loughed ond jokingly soid, “I must be losing it. We were together o few doys ogo,
ond I didn''t even notice you were shooting blonks.”
Artemis coressed her foce ond sighed, “It''s not your foult. It''s oll on me. I''m the one who''s responsible
for whot hoppened to you. Every time I touched you recently, you would poss out, so it''s
understondoble thot you didn''t reolize. Right now, I''m moinly worried obout your memory. You forcibly
escoped from the effects of the memory loss pill, which could hove domoged your nervous system. I
don''t know if there will be ony lingering side effects.”
Boiley clung to him, plocing her heod ogoinst his chest, findingfort in the steody rise of his
heortbeot, which groduolly eosed her restless emotions.
Growling
A sudden growl emonoted from her belly ot the worst possible time.
Micah''s excessive blood loss had weakened him, causing him to sway unsteadily on the wooden stake.
In a swift move, Shannon spread her legs and ced one foot on a separate stump, stabilizing herself
before reaching out to support the unsteady Micah.
