Chapter 1737
Stealthily taking someone away was the safest approach.
Vicky nodded softly at the suggestion. “Alright.”
As she was about to get out of bed, Tyler suddenly held her back.
Confused, Vicky turned to look at Tyler, who pulled out a raincoat he prepared.
“Put on the raincoat,” said Tyler.
Conflict filled Vicky’s eyes. “Why aren’t you wearing a raincoat?”
Tyler helped her put on the raincoat and hoarsely replied, “It affects visibility and movement.”
Vicky thus put on the raincoat.
Following Tyler’s lead, they quietly left the cabin.
Outside, the rain was pouring heavily, and thunder rumbled in the background.
The ship rocked continuously in the tempest.
The deck was very slippery due to the rain. Vicky nearly slipped a few times as they walked but was steadied by Tyler in
time.
In the dim light, his strikingly handsome face appeared exceptionally pale. He held her wrist tightly, his fingers cold as
though they belonged to a lifeless body.
His expression remained calm, his gaze sharp, devoid of any panic or nervousness.
Vicky’s restless heart seemed to have calmed down somewhat.
Bang!
Suddenly, a loud gunfire was heard in the darkness. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Tyler’s expression hardened instantly. “Quickly, move!”
He quickened his pace, but since he had to take care of Vicky to prevent her from falling, they could not move very fast.
Vicky was on edge as she could even hear footsteps approaching.
She did not dare look back or lose focus, fearing that any slight delay would alert Lincoln to their presence.
However, the gunshot signaled that Lincoln had discovered what they were doing.
The ship was filled with Lincoln’s men who, upon learning of the intruders, rushed in their direction.
Lincoln was the first to lead his men in pursuit of Tyler.
Bang!
The sound of gunfire was muffled by the pouring rain.
Tyler reacted swiftly, cradling Vicky in his arms and evading quickly.
A bullet struck the ground near Vicky’s feet.
Vicky had not even fully comprehended what was happening when Tyler pulled the trigger without hesitation, his gaze icy
and resolute.
Bang, bang, bang!
Several gunshots rang out, followed by the thud of bodies hitting the ground.
Tyler held Vicky, whose body had gone rigid, and comforted her in a low voice, “Don’t be afraid. I won’t let anything
happen to you.”
In an instant, Vicky’s eyes welled up with tears. She knew he meant what he said.
Vicky dared not to look back. She did not know what was happening behind them, only that Tyler continued to fire his
weapon behind them.
The footsteps grew closer and heavier as Lincoln’s people arrived.
Just when Vicky began to worry that they might not make it out of this situation, they finally reached the stern of the ship.
A speedboat rocked precariously in the giant waves and a makeshift rope ladder led in the direction of the speedboat.
Harry and Jade waited on the speedboat. When they saw Tyler and Vicky, expressions of extreme concern crossed their
faces.
The rain and thunder drowned out their voices, but judging from their expressions and lip movements, Lincoln’s people
were right behind them.
Tyler pushed her forward. “Vicky, get down now!
