Just as she was trying to detonate the bomb, Armand rushed over and kicked the detonating device out
of her hand. He squatted down and took her by the throat, "Go to hell!"
Phoebe didn't struggle, but instead, she smiled creepily.
The glow in Armand's eye dimmed. He realized that she must have some backup plan since she dared
to put herself in this dangerous state. Instead of choking her to death, he slammed her head onto a
corner. With a loud bang, blood sprayed out from Phoebe's forehead, and she fainted on the spot.
Armand went back to Theresa and tried to help her up. Theresa pushed him away and said, "You
should go."
Armand was caught unprepared by the push and sat down on the ground. He looked at Theresa
astonishedly, "You..."
Theresa helped herself up with difficulty and glimpsed towards him. "I don't need your fake
benevolence and don't touch me too. It makes me feels sick, makes me feel like vomiting."
Armand knew that whatever he said would be in vain. His actions and decisions had already hurt her
deeply.
Before that, he wanted to tell her, if anything happened to her, he would die along with her.
He didn't have a choice just now.
"I'm sorry, but you are injured now, so I'm going to bring you to the hospital." Armand didn't care about
her rejection and carry her up in his arms. Then, he realized there was something beside her waist. He
lowered his head and saw a bomb tied to her waist.
The numbers on the bomb were constantly ticking off. The time on the bomb timer was reducing with
every tick.
He raised his head and meet her lifeless gaze.
Theresa's throat was very dry, and her voice was hoarse, "If you don't want to die, let go of me and
leave right now."
Armand put her down onto the deck. However, he did not leave. Instead, he went to examine the bomb,
finding ways to remove it. "I will not let you die alone. I'll accompany you."
Theresa leaned weakly on the cold and filthy bulkhead, "You think I will forgive you if you say that?
Armand, I will never forgive you in my life."
Armand lowered his head and said, "I know."
Theresa looked at his face under his untidy hair and slowly closed her eyes. She didn't want to see this
man ever again.
He could try to dismantle the bomb. Even though he had no confidence, but there was still a sliver of a
chance.
"Don't worry, I definitely can..." He raised his head and saw that Theresa had already closed her eyes
and wasn't looking at him. He felt miserable in his heart, but he knew this was not a time for
sentimentalities. The most important thing was to rescue her first.
He went outside to look for pliers. He searched the whole boat but he couldn't find it. He went back into
the cabin, found a rusty toolbox in a narrow and remote corner, and opened it with an iron stick.
Needless to say, this toolbox was hardly used, and it was stained with seawater all the time, therefore
the iron skin of the toolbox was all covered in rust. Luckily, the tools inside were quite comprehensive.
He took the pair of pliers and ran to Theresa. "I found the pliers."
At this moment, he found out that Theresa was already very feeble. She didn't even have the strength
to open her eyelids, looking like a withering flower that had lost of all its former vigor. Armand stood
there in a trance, thinking what would happen to him do if she really died here.
At that moment, he felt a heart-throbbing pain as if uncountable needles instantly stabbed into his heart
at the same time.
He caressed her face and made up his mind in his heart. If they got out here alive, he must confess to
her and redeem his sins. He would do absolutely anything to get her forgiveness.
He looked at the four wires on the bomb. His hand that was holding the pliers was shaking
uncontrollably because his decision meant life and death for both of them.
However, the timer was still reducing by every second, and the detonating time was getting closer as
well. He didn't have any excess time to think about which wire to cut, and sweats poured down from his
forehead.
He gritted his teeth and chose the red wire. He closed his eyes, clasped the pliers in his hands, and
decisively cut the wire. With a snap, the red wire broke in half.
However, the timer was still going on. Armand was utterly anxious at this moment.
"Just go now and leave me alone." Theresa's weak voice sounded like a mosquito, but Armand could
still hear her. He didn't know why, but listening to her asking him to leave, made his heart pain as if he
couldn't breathe.
He had never been so afraid of losing someone before. And now, he was horribly terrified of losing her.
"I'm not leaving. I told you before if you are going to die, I'm going to die together with you." Armand
clenched his hands and cut another wire off the bomb timer. However, it did not explode. Instead, the
timer stopped for a short while, then suddenly jumped crazily. It looked as if the bomb would explode
anytime soon, so Armand could only hold Theresa tight in his arms.
Theresa's heart was cold. At this moment, even she was hugged by a warm body, her heart remained
cold.
Armand said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I'm very sorry..."
He's sorry that he hurt her feelings. He's sorry that she was injured because of him, and that she was
going to die soon, all because of him.
The word ‘sorry’ sounded pale and worthless.
At this time, Phoebe gradually woke up. She saw Armand and Theresa hugging each other, and she
was deeply jealous of them. The man's tender and love once only belonged to her. But now, it
belonged to another woman. Phoebe's heart was filled with an overwhelming sense of loss and
resentment.
She crawled up with difficulty and tried to reach the detonating device. She wanted to set off the bomb
and explode the ship, killing both Armand and Theresa.
Theresa saw through Phoebe's intention. She grabbed Armand's collar and said, "Bring me out."
Armand agreed.
The sea wind on the deck was wheezing, bringing the saltiness of the sea along with it. The bomb on
Theresa's body was in its last moments. Armand said, "In my next life, I will definitely find you first. And
by that time, I will treat you better, with all my heart."
Theresa looked at him with her misty eyes and curled the corner of her lips. If there was a next life, she
wished that she would not meet Armand again. Meeting him in this life was her calamity, and she did
not want to go through it once again.
In the next life, it's better to not meet each other.
Just as the bomb was going to explode, Theresa mustered up all her remaining strength in her body
and pushed Armand down from the deck.
Following a plunging sound, Armand dropped into the sea.
In between the surging seawater, Armand saw Theresa stood on the deck. She was so peaceful as if
she was not facing death at the moment but liberated from everything.
She wanted to die.
“Boom!”
The boat's cabin exploded. Fire blazed towards the skies, and Theresa's figure was covered in heavy
smokes and flames.
"No!" Armand opened his mouth and was swept through the seawater. Everywhere underneath the
seawater was scorching hot, and the boat wreckage were floating everywhere. Floating fire lights were
scattered over the surface of the sea.
Armand swam devastatingly towards the boat remains, trying to look for Theresa.
On the boundless sea, other than the boat wreckage floating on the surface of the sea, no other living
soul could be seen.
“Theresa!”
Armand randomly grabbed a floating object and searched for Theresa's on the surface of the sea.
At this moment, another boat came. It was Cody.
He traced Phoebe's cell phone signal to this location. At this time, City B was already thrown into
turmoil. Phoebe posted the video of Cody's wife getting stripped on the internet, which caused a huge
uproar. And now, the Day family was shamefaced, causing their stocks price to drop as well. Cody was
enraged.
He came here to seek revenge with Phoebe, but who knew he saw a big explosion here.
"I think I saw someone over there!"
