Love Contract

Chapter 293 Falling Into The Sea

The seawater rose quickly, surpassing Mary's knees. Corbett's men were standing far away from the sea, giving her a chance to cut off the rope without being noticed.

Mary felt cold all over her body. Also, her lower abdomen hurt. She thought how much she wanted to pass out here and commit suicide because of suffering so much! But thinking of what William had just said to her and seeing how hard he tried to make sure she would survive, how could she give up so easily?

Bang!

Hearing the sound, she immediately stopped cutting the rope. Well, she had successfully cut one of the ropes. She could do it again.

On the other side, Corbett and William were still fighting fiercely. The two were more or less wounded and bruised. William was at a disadvantage. He had not recovered yet from the gunshot and from being comatose. Now, he also had to worry about Mary. Although he had successfully checked on her from time to time, he could not hold on for long.

Suddenly, Corbett found an opportunity to punch William's face hard. Unable to defend himself, William was knocked sideways and staggered back a few steps. This caused one of his feet to get submerged in the cold water.

Behind him was Mary. Seeing that William was beaten, she quickly asked, "William, are you okay?"

He nodded his head in response, indicating that she did not need to worry.

"It seems that you can't hold on anymore." Corbett shook his hand and said contemptuously, "Then I won't show mercy to you now."

William tried his best to straighten himself up. With a fierce stare, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Before he could say something out of spite, he saw a man running to Corbett hurriedly. When he reached Corbett, he whispered something in his ear and a flustered expression appeared on Corbett's face.

Upon seeing that, William frowned. He tried his best to listen but he was only able to make out a few Japanese words. Saving... Dead...

"Fuck!" Hearing his subordinate's report, Corbett suddenly became angry. He turned around and looked at the opposite bay, but saw nothing. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and reached out to grab the pistol tied around the waist of one of his subordinates.

William immediately realized that something was wrong. Corbett had already known that the children had been saved, so he must want to... "Mary!" William yelled instinctively. He quickly turned around and rushed to the pillar as fast as he could with all his remaining strength. As soon as he reached Mary, he hugged her.

Bang!

Sure enough, Corbett, with red eyes, shot in the direction of Mary. The bullet went straight into William's back and his skin tore open.

"Ugh." William groaned in pain.

Bang!

Unsatisfied, Corbett fired the gun again. This time, Mary felt William's body jerk.

"William!" Mary screamed sharply. She saw her terrified expressions in William's glassy eye. She desperately cut off the remained rope despite her wounded and bleeding hands. William's body trembled from the gunshot. Frantic, Mary hugged his weak body.

"Mary..." When William spoke, warm blood gushed from his mouth.

"Stop talking!" She burst into tears in fear. She wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked, "What should I do? What should I do? You're bleeding! William... Don't scare me."

"I'm fine," he mouthed. Despite only muttering two words, he was already tired and numb. Although his arms were still like steel, they circled around Mary. "Don't die," said Mary while crying loudly. She touched the outline of William's face with her trembling fingers and repeated the same sentence in a hoarse voice, "Don't die. Don't die. Don't die."

"Mr. Lan, it turns out that you have sent someone to save the three children!" Still holding the gun, Corbett slowly approached the two. "No wonder you tried so hard to fight me. Were you buying time? Impressive!"

Not caring about anything anymore, Mary burst into tears while holding William. The sea water around the two had been stained with blood.

"It's useless for you to buy time now. It's too late," Corbett continued. "Since you two love each other so much, I'll send you to hell together!"

"Corbett!"

As soon as Corbett finished speaking, a sharp but slightly panting female voice came from behind. "Interpol! Drop your weapon! You are surrounded!"

Stunned, Corbett turned around in surprise. At a glance, his eyes widened upon seeing Aisha, who looked exactly like Mary. With a murderous look in her eyes, Aisha held a gun in one hand and a police ID card in the other.

Behind her, a group of Interpol officers, all armed and wearing bulletproof vest, surrounded the trestle. "It's you!" Realizing something, Corbett narrowed his eyes. No wonder Mary's expression in

her eyes was familiar! She and Aisha were twins! So the woman who had followed him from China to Japan was the female police officer in front of him.

"It's me!" Aisha held up her gun and stared at Corbett menacingly. "How have you been? You lost last time. Is the wound on your shoulder already healed?"

"Thanks for asking. It has already healed," Corbett answered while gritting his teeth.

"Put down your gun. You can't escape anymore. Surrender now!" Aisha glanced at the direction of Mary and William, and added, "I'd rather keep your corpse whole."

"Young lord," one of Corbett's Japanese men came forward and whispered, "let us fight against them to cover your escape. You can take revenge in the future. Right now, your life is the most important."

Corbett glanced at him and asked, "Really? Why am I important? You want me to go back alive and continue to be the puppet of my family. I can't even have emotions and desires. I can't even have my own hobbies! You want me to continue my miserable life, is that it?"

"Young lord, you..." The man in black was stunned. He felt that something was odd with Corbett today. "Every day of my life was miserable. I don't want to live that kind of life anymore." For the first time in his life, Corbett smiled happily as he said, "If you can go back alive, tell my father that I'm dead."

"Young lord!" the man in black shouted anxiously.

At this moment, Aisha took advantage of their inattention and stepped forward. With a beautiful kick, she kicked the gun in Corbett's hand to the side. She turned around and shot her gun two times, killing the men on either side of Corbett.

Corbett's reflexes were quick. He held Aisha's shoulders and wrestled with her.

The trestle was in a fierce fight again.

Mary was still holding William. She wanted to drag him to the shore, but found no strength at all. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"William! William, wake up!" Mary called his name several times while sobbing. "Aisha is here. We will be saved soon. Can you hear me?"

"I love you."

"What?" Feeling a slight vibration, Mary put her ears closer to his lips. "What did you say? I can't hear you."

"I love you,"

William repeated. Corbett's two shots hit him on the back. Unfortunately, one of them hit his spine. He was dying, but William thought that he still had a lot to do. He had not apologized to Mary, proposed to her, seen his two children grow up. How he wanted to accompany Mary as they grew old together in the future.

But he was afraid that there would be no chance for him to accomplish these tasks now. In his heart, he was roaring wildly. However, he was too weak to do anything.

He wanted to repeat what he wanted to say to Mary the most.

"I know, I know." Finally, Mary heard what he had said. She nodded desperately and cried, "I love you, too. I love you as well. Please don't die. If you die, I won't love you anymore. I'm begging you!"

Aisha frowned when she heard Mary's cry. She hit Corbett harder with her elbow and pushed him far away from her. She then raised her gun and pointed it at his heart without any hesitation.

Bang!

"Ha ha!" Corbett gave a weird chuckle. Looking at the bullet in his chest, he slowly fell to the sea behind.

Everything was over, but he did not want to die alone!

Little did they know, Corbett was holding a bomb in his hand. Mustering his last strength, he threw it in Mary's direction before he sank into the sea.

"Watch out!" Aisha shouted instinctively. When she was about to step forward, Archer, who was rushing over, dragged her and they both fell to the ground.

An explosion broke out on the vast sea.

The last thing Mary saw was fire, causing the water to splash all over the sky. A huge wave swept over her body and William's. Her back hurt as she fell into the water heavily.

Plop!

The two fell into the sea and slowly sank down. Mary felt an intense heat in her belly. It felt as though something was slowly leaving her body.

The white wedding dress floated vigorously in the sea. However, what she saw was more and more reddish color. Bright red. Horrifying red. It was the blood of both Mary and William. With their strength, they held each other and she slowly closed her eyes.

She smiled with relief. 'Not a bad ending. If you die, William, you won't be alone. I'm here with you.'
