His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 325

Only two seconds were left on the timer.

Arielle closed her eyes and let out a cry inwardly. Mom! Then, she cut the white thread.

Snap! The thread broke.

Then, the timer let out a long beep.

Arielle lowered her head immediately and closed her eyes. It was something one naturally did in the face of death.

Everything was quiet on Vinson's side as he was holding his breath anxiously.

It was eerily quiet in the cabin.

Tick took, tick took...

The ticking of the clock was exceptionally clear inside the silent cabin.

As Arielle listened to it, she noticed that the clock had ticked twice, which meant two seconds had passed.

Slowly, she opened her eyes. She was surprised to find that the bomb's timer had stopped at precisely one second left.

I have... successfully disarmed the bomb! I was right!

Arielle finally found her voice after a few seconds. She picked up the phone excitedly and exclaimed, “Vinson! I'm still alive! Vinson! Are you there?”

However, there was no reply.

A few seconds ago, in a high-rise building in the Western Hemisphere, Vinson had placed his phone on the window sill. He forced himself to shut his eyes. Then, he lit a cigarette and took a drag.

He was afraid of looking at his phone.

Arielle had said that if she survived, she would live the rest of her life in remorse.

However, if she died, he would be the one living in guilt instead.

At that moment, he wished that he never knew Arielle so that she did not have to go through all of this.

Soon, half of his cigarette was gone.
