Chapter 430


    Ian was like a man possessed, charging towards the inferno, but several bodyguards clung to him


    with a death grip. “Mr. Hayes, it’s too dangerous! There’s gasoline in there. The mes are


    relentless!”


    “Get off me! I have to save ra. I have to save my child.”


    “Mr. Hayes, you’ll get killed if you go in there. Let us handle it.”


    With a punch for each, Ian floored the bodyguards and, heedless of anyone’s attempt to stop him,


    soaked his clothes in seawater before diving into the fiery abyss.


    Running, he bellowed, “ra, I’ming for you! Where are you?”


    His search turned up no sign of ra. Just as he contemted storming upstairs, a familiar voice


    pierced through the roar of the mes. “Ian, help me!”


    He spun around to see Heidi, bound to a pir with ropes. The fire encircled her menacingly. His


    heart clenched at the sight. ra must have won their struggle. She had tied up Heidi and made


    her escape.


    The only way out was the sea, but ra had a phobia of deep waters. And she was pregnant.


    With this in mind, Ian kicked a ball of fire towards Heidi, intensifying the ze already consuming


    her.

    Terrified, Heidi screamed, “Ian, please, save me! I’ll tell you where ra is.”


    Desperately she struggled, trying to free herself from the knots ra had tied so tightly. The more


    she moved, the tighter they became. As the fire surged towards her, she wailed and pleaded with


    Ian, who looked at her with no more sympathy than one would a piece of trash, then leaped into the


    sea.


    The mes engulfed Heidi. The searing heat tortured her beyond endurance.


    As bodyguard after bodyguard followed Ian into the waves, not one giving a thought to her fate, the


    pain in her heart outstripped the fire’s burn.


    Just then, she heard a familiar voice. Edwin, leading a group, charged into the ze, shouting


    orders to retrieve his sister from the depths.


    Heidi thought her salvation hade atst. Edwin wasn’t as ruthless as Ian. He would surely


    remember their shared past and save her.


    Amidst the mes, Heidi struggled, shouting with all her might, “Edwin, I’m here! Hurry and save


    me!”


    Edwin started towards her voice but halted abruptly upon seeing it was Heidi. His eyes turned


    steely, and his voice was ice-cold. “Heidi, this is the bed you’ve made. Dream on if you think I’ll save


    you!” Then, he too plunged into the sea.


    Both Ian and Edwin, when it came to the crunch, chose to save ra. So many were diving in to


    rescue that bitch, yet not one spared a thought for Heidi. The bitterness in her heart was keener


    than the burn on her skin.


    Defiant to the end, she roared at the sky, “ra, go to hell!”


    The fire on the ship raged uncontained. The rescue team was preupied with hunting for ra,


    and no one bothered to quench the mes. Heidi was abandoned by all, and her consciousness


    ebbed away.


    Ian searched underwater, desperate, finding no trace of ra. The waves crashed over him as he


    scoured the depths.


    He knew all too well the peril ra faced in the water. Even if she could swim, her phobia would


    paralyze her, leaving her at the mercy of the sea.


    Ian’s fear mounted as he swam further into the abyss.


    Seconds turned to minutes, and the professional dive teambored through the night, but ra was


    nowhere to be found.


    The sea was at its most turbulent, and ra’s frail form would probably have been swept away by


    now.
