Chapter 508
In the half-light of dawn, he saw Gabby, bathed in a celestial glow, standing before him, reaching out her hand.
"Gabby... my... my baby..."
Grant''s ashen face suddenly broke into a smile. After struggling to utter these words, he took hisst breath, ending a life of sin.
Jonas felt Grant''s head grow heavy, and in disbelief, he shook him violently. "Don''t die on me! You haven''t told me where my
sister is! Come on, you bastard, tell me!"
But Grant was breathless, his body growing heavier and sinking into the depths of the sea.
The sounds of the ship''s explosion still echoed over the sea. It seemed the military had unleashed their most severe
thunderstrike to stop the fugitive.
Jonas slowly resurfaced. The red ze before his eyes reflected off the sea, the heat unbearable. Around the shattered remains
of the ship, dismembered bodies floated, emitting a nauseating stench.
Jonas looked around. The sea was endless. There was nowhere to moor.
After all he had endured, his strength was waning, and his eyelids were growing heavy. He wanted nothing more than to close
his eyes and sleep. Jonas pinched himself hard, knowing that if he slept now, he would never wake up again.
No, he had to fight to survive!
Those bastards had actually blown up the ship. Didn''t they know he was on board?
He had exhausted every effort and still hadn''t found his missing sister. He couldn''t afford to be lost. It would devastate his mom!
With this thought, Jonas, who had felt utterly drained, suddenly found a surge of energy. He swam with all his might, desperate
to leave this sea of corpses. Bloodthirsty sharks lurking in the deep would soon be drawn to the scent.
After what felt like an eternity, Jonas spotted a piece of the sted ship floating on the water. He hurried toward it, climbed
aboard, and, feeling exhausted, looked up at the heavy night sky, whispering, "I''m sorry, Mom, | still haven''t found her."
He didn''t know if he would make it back alive. His small frame clung to the piece of wreckage, adrift on the sea...
In Hawaii...
Lately, Natalia had been bombarded with calls from Hector, bing an impromptu full-time baby consultant.
"Yes, it''s fine. Babies cry because they''re hungry or tired, not necessarily because they’re sick."
“Right, right, just keep them clean and dry, and they won''t look up at you with a crying face."
"Ah, burping after feeding is normal. What? Did he spit on you? Oh, you''ll get used to it.”
"Don''t worry, even if the baby doesn''t sleep all day, they still have more energy than you. Everything''s so new to them."
"Ah? Do you need me over there again? Alright, I''ll be there in a—"
Before Natalia could finish, Magnus, who had been fuming for days over Hector''s calls, snatched the phone from her. "Hector, for
heaven''s sake, you''ve got four nannies at home. Can''t you man up a bit? Stop bothering my wife with every little parenting
hup. She''s busy!"
Magnus barked into the phone and abruptly hung up.
Natalia, somewhat helplessly, looked at the fuming Magnus and said with a good-natured smile, "It''s okay. Hector is just
inexperienced with babies, so he has a lot of questions."
"A lot of questions?" Magnus disagreed. "More like thousands of them! His calls wake me up in the morning and disturb my
meals and my sleep. He even calls during sex! He''s relentless. Every one of those nannies at his ce has experience. If he
keeps this up, | swear I''ll go over there and make a scene!"
Natalia found herself at a loss with her hot-tempered husband. "Look at you. He just had twins, so he''s understandably anxious.
Don''t be so petty.”
"Hmph!" Magnus grumbled, sitting on
the couch with a pout. "Natalia,
Hector is too much! Kgovs Wate
sti searahidg Fur daughter, and
yet he bothers you every day with
trivial questions. Can''t he consider
your feelings for a moment?" Please

Natalia knew Magnus was just protective of her. "Don''t be mad at Hector, okay? Our daughter will turn up eventually. I''m sure of
it.”
"No! | can''t stand the sight of him acting all proud because he''s a father now!" Magnus continued to sulk.
As Natalia was about to say more, the phone, which Magnus had just hung up, rang again. "He''s relentless!" Magnus stood up,
furious. "I''ve got to see how shameless this Hector really is!"
As he grabbed the phone and began to shout, his voice dropped, and his face turned grave. "What? You''re not Hector? Then
who are—"
Whatever was said on the other end made Magnus'' voice soften, and his face turn paler. "Alright... yes... we''ll be there as soon
as we can."
After a brief conversation, Magnus hung up with a troubled look. Natalia, puzzled at first, became concerned as she observed
Magnus'' expression. "What''s wrong?"
Magnus slowly put down the phone. His face turned serious as he turned to Natalia. "Babe, there''s some bad news | have to
share with you."
Natalia''s heart sank. For some
reason, her thoughts flew to Jonas,
their son, who was far oe aa

Magnus hadn''t expected Natalia to
guess that the phone call was about
Jonas. Perhaps there was some truth
in that old saying about a mother''s
intuition. The gravity of the situ QR
meant he cals yee

embrace, his hand gently stroking her
hair in an attempt to soothe her.
"Honey, try to stay calm. Our Jonas is
so capable, and he''ll be alright. He
went missing at sea while chasing
down an escaped drug dealer. The
military hasn''t found a body, which
means this isn''t all bad news, right?
We''ll head there right now. Who
knows, by the time we get there, our
boy might be waiting for us, safe and
