CHAPTER 382: CHAPTER 382: BUT HE WAS A STEP TOO LATE...

When Damian Quinn drove over, he saw the scene: behind Serena Everett lay the towering cliff, and if she were pushed off, it would be certain death...

"Serena..."

Damian Quinn’s heart tightened suddenly, an unprecedented panic gripped him, and he rushed towards Serena Everett without hesitation, with only one thought in mind—he absolutely could not let his girl get hurt...

"Master Damian..."

In the car, Silas looked in disbelief at Damian Quinn rushing over to push Serena Everett aside. He instinctively wanted to hit the brakes, but it was too late, the car was already hurtling towards the man.

"Damian Quinn..."

Serena Everett was heavily pushed aside, landing on the grass, and when she looked up again, she saw the car brutally knocking the man off the cliff.

Claire Keaton and Lucas Laine arrived just a step after Damian Quinn, witnessing everything firsthand, stunned in place with varying expressions.

For the first time, Serena Everett tasted the agony of a broken heart, a pain more excruciating than those deadly wounds she had endured during missions, so painful that she could hardly breathe, instinctively charging towards the cliff.

"Serena..."

Lucas Laine’s face changed drastically at her actions, rushing forward to hold her back firmly.

"Serena, calm down... jumping off is certain death..."

Serena Everett fiercely shook him off, her stunningly beautiful eyes already completely red, surrounded by an intense aura.

"Let go of me."

Facing Serena Everett’s reddened eyes, Lucas Laine was left stunned in place; it was the first time he had seen Serena cry...

In the past, no matter how difficult or exhausting their missions were, even when she was wounded and barely alive, Serena had never cried, but now she was so heartbroken over Damian Quinn...

Seeing Serena Everett losing control of her emotions, Lucas Laine could only harden his heart and say, "Serena, even if you jump now, it won’t do any good! Jumping now would be suicide, do you want Damian Quinn’s sacrifice for you to be in vain? He pushed you away to ensure you’re not in danger..."

Serena Everett knew he was right, but her emotions wouldn’t let her calm down, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing her like this, Lucas Laine’s eyes filled with pity, he spoke softly, "Serena, I’ll immediately send someone to search the bottom of the cliff, he’ll be alright..."

But everyone knew, these were just comforting words. With such a high cliff, falling off meant certain death, even if someone was found at the bottom, they’d most likely be a corpse.

Claire Keaton also looked at Serena Everett full of empathy, reaching over to hug her, "Serena, Lucas is right, we’ll definitely find him, don’t act impulsively..."

Serena loved Damian Quinn so much; Claire couldn’t bear to imagine what Serena would do if anything happened to Damian Quinn.

"I understand, please don’t stop me, I just want to have a look..."

Serena Everett broke free from them with tear-stained eyes, walking step by step towards the place Damian Quinn had fallen, finally understanding the saying—there’s no greater grief than a dead heart.

She shouldn’t have been so careless... if she had dealt with Silas first, none of this would have happened!

Damian Quinn wouldn’t have had to fall into the cliff to save her...

Standing not far away, Chase Sherman was also filled with sorrow, fiercely punching the ground.

And at this moment, with a "bang," a firework signal rang out in the air.

Chase Sherman stared blankly at the fireworks in the sky, and then snapped back to reality, shouting joyfully, "It’s the exclusive signal of the Quinn Family... Master Damian is still alive!"

Upon hearing this, Serena Everett abruptly turned around, her eyes shining as she looked at Chase Sherman, as if seeing the last thread of hope, "What did you say?!"

"Miss Serena, Master Damian truly is still alive!"

Chase Sherman’s face lit up with a smile again, he quickly walked to the position where the firework signal appeared, examining carefully and deducing.

"Miss Serena, although we don’t know what happened when Master Damian was hit off, judging by the distance where the firework signal was launched, Master Damian is most likely trapped on the cliffside now; as long as we lower a rescue rope, he will definitely climb up!"

"What are we waiting for, arrange the rescue immediately!"

Serena Everett immediately ordered, and everyone moved swiftly, not daring to delay for a moment.

After what felt like an eternity, a pair of hands finally appeared at the edge of the cliff, and Serena Everett at last saw the person she’d been yearning for.

The man’s body was covered with multiple cuts, his handsome face was also wounded, and his complexion was paler than before, clearly he was severely injured.

"Damian Quinn!"

Serena Everett could no longer control her emotions, she dashed towards him.

"Baby, don’t cry..."

Damian Quinn raised his hand gently to wipe the tears from Serena Everett’s face, deliberately lowering his voice to soothe her.

"Brother will be heartbroken."

Serena Everett threw herself into the man’s arms, holding him tightly; the feeling of regained love was so overwhelming it brought her to tears.

"Bastard, next time don’t shield me again!"

She would rather be the one hit off the cliff than have him sacrifice himself to protect her!

Watching this scene, Claire Keaton uncharacteristically became solemn, clearly the earlier events impacted her significantly.

"Lucas, regardless of whether you decide to step back in the future, I won’t help hide anything from Serena anymore!"

If one can risk their life to protect the other, it shows Damian Quinn’s deep-rooted love for Serena; from now on, she recognizes and accepts Damian Quinn; he deserves Serena’s love.

Lucas Laine’s eyes were filled with bitterness, his hands tightly clenched by his sides.

It’s not only Damian Quinn who can lay down his life for Serena, Lucas could do it too, but he was just a step too late...
