- Run and Call for Help!
Finnic shook his head in refusal, but Kara raised her eyebrows, emphasizing her seriousness.
“I’ve moved on, you should have too. Don’t cancel your wedding because it will only show how cowardly you are in my eyes. Be responsible for your choice. Sophia is the one you chose, not me.”
A second later, Kara took a step, about to return to Frank. However, Finnic shifted, getting in her way. “Kara, please.”
Kara pulled herself backwards. Her eyebrows were wrinkled and her forefinger was pointed. “Don’t ever touch me again! I’m no longer yours. And don’t try to chase me! That will only make me hate you.”
After delivering the ultimatum, Kara turned towards the door at the other end of the corridor. Finnic could only stare at her back with regret piercing his chest.
“Why did I let you go in the first place, Kara? Why?” he groaned while gripping his own fingers. Realizing that he couldn’t do anything, he turned towards his future wife.
As soon as he found Finnic walking alone, Frank immediately widened his eyes and got up from his chair. “Where’s Kara?” He
regretted having relaxed his supervision earlier.
“Did you guys fight?” Sophia continued, worrying about different things.
Without waiting for an answer, Frank ran towards the outer corridor. Kara was walking towards the other door. Behind her, a man dressed in black approached quickly.
Frank’s jaw dropped. At full speed, he chased after his lover. “Kara,

Kara spontaneously turned around. At that time, Frank ambushed someone and threw him against the wall. However, the big man didn’t fall. He swayed a little before straightening up again.
“Don’t get involved or you’ll regret it,” he said hoarsely. His hand then. took out a folding knife from his pocket.
Frank quickly brought his back closer to Kara. The woman was still gaping with her face pale. “Kara, run and call for help.”
“But you….”
“Now!”
Kara flinched. Her knees were actually shaking, but common sense forced her to move according to the order. “Hang in there, Frank.”
She ran as fast as she could, screaming for help. When she arrived at the door, everyone in the lounge looked at her in confusion. No one moved towards her, apart from Finnic and Sophia.
“What’s wrong, Kara?” Finnic asked anxiously.
“Frank….”
Kara stepped back to check on her lover. However, instead of explaining, she stared wide eyed. Her lips were getting paler. The two men were pushing each other on the edge of the fence.
“No, no.” Her head shook in horror. A second later, she grabbed her ex’s wrist. “Finnic, help Frank!”
As they were running, Frank managed to throw the man out of the fence. Unfortunately, the stranger’s grip on Frank’s shirt was too strong. In a blink of an eye, both of them fell over the fence.
“Frank…!” Kara screamed, shedding tears. A second later, her ears rang. There were no sounds that her brain could process anymore.

“Frank?” she sighed helplessly. Her legs tried to break the stiffness, shifting slowly towards the last place her lover stood.
When she arrived at the edge of the fence and looked down, all she could see was only darkness. The sea under the ship seemed bottomless.
“No…. It’s impossible. It couldn’t be real.”
Kara tried to clear her throat, but it was too narrow and dry. Her chest was tight, either because of the heavy air or the fragments of her heart.
“Frank…” she called softly.
Even though no one answered, Kara kept looking out the fence. The sea breeze, repeatedly blew on her cheeks, making her realize that the ship was sailing. There’s no way Frank was still down there. However, she still hoped that his lover would reply.
Meanwhile, the couple behind her back was still wide-eyed. Their mouths were wide open, but they didn’t utter a word. They couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed.
“Stop the ship….” Kara already got her senses back. “Stop the ship
Finnic and Sophia flinched. However, before they had time to act, Kara shouted again, “Quickly stop the ship! Tell the captain to turn around and send the rescue team down!”
“Okay, okay!” Sophia grabbed her phone in a hurry.
As Sophia contacted the control room, Kara ran towards the buoy hanging on the fence. Without wasting any time, she untied the rope and threw the orange object as far as possible.
“Kara, what are you doing?” Finnic approached her.
“Saving Frank. What else?” She threw the second buoy then ran to the
Duvy.

Suddenly, Finnic grabbed her arm. “But Kara, wouldn’t that make the
search even more difficult?”
Sighing faintly, Kara brushed his hands away. “Do you hope Frank doesn’t survive? He didn’t have any grip or foothold out there. If we don’t release these buoys….”
Kara’s voice hitched. She was unable to finish the sentence. After stuffing her lungs with fortitude, she whispered, “If you want to atone for your sins against me, help me spread these lifebuoys. The rescue team will not be confused. I know where Frank is. His GPS is
connected to my phone.”
Finnic swallowed hard. His hands trembled to choose ego or
conscience. However, seeing Kara in trouble, he finally took action.
As the ship began to turn around, the passengers began to wonder. In order to avoid panic, the captain was forced to make an
announcement. In an instant, the furor spread.
“Who fell? Frank Harper? Really Frank Harper?”
People gathered at the edge of the fence, either for joining in the search or just not wanting to miss out. Some started live broadcast, hoping to get their name famous and their followers to grow.
Meanwhile, Kara went to the rescue team. She showed the GPS
location of Frank’s watch. As soon as the rescue ships hit the water,
they went straight to that point.
“God, please… save Frank. I promise not to be rude to him if he comes back to my side. I will never doubt his seriousness again. Please ….”
Hearing the whispered prayer, Finnic secretly clenched his fists.
However, with Sophia by his side, he came to his senses. His hidden

“Miss Martin, calm down. Mister Harper is a strong man. I’m sure he will survive. Moreover, the rescue team already knows his location.”
Kara looked at Sophia with teary eyes. Anxiety still rolled down her
cheeks. She couldn’t answer, but nodded as best she could.
A few minutes later, one of the passengers pointed to something in the distance. “Look! They’re back. Frank Harper is safe!”
Seeing someone covered in a heating blanket, everyone cheered. The burden in Kara’s heart suddenly lifted. Clutching her hands in front of her chest, she whispered, “Thank you,
God. Thank you. You still give me a chance to be with Frank.”
Wasting no time, Kara ran to the lower deck. She couldn’t wait to welcome her lover. However, as soon as she met the passengers of the small ship, her happiness disappeared. The man who wrapped his body in a warming cloth was not the person she expected.
“Where’s Frank?”
The black clothed man grinned. Laughing with satisfaction, he showed a watch in his hand. “Sorry for your loss. Your lover fainted when he hit the ocean. His body was too heavy for me to carry. So, I just saved his watch.”
Kara sighed in disbelief. Her feet staggered backwards. “No! Frank couldn’t have passed out.”
