Love Contract novel Chapter 293

The seawater rose quickly, surpassing Mary's knees. Corbett's men were standing far away from the sea, giving her a chance to cut off the rope without being noticed.

Mary felt cold all over her body. Also, her lower abdomen hurt. She thought how much she wanted to pass out here and commit suicide because of suffering so much! But thinking of what William had just said to her and seeing how hard he tried to make sure she would survive, how could she give up so easily?

Bang!

Hearing the sound, she immediately stopped cutting the rope. Well, she had successfully cut one of the ropes. She could do it again.

On the other side, Corbett and William were still fighting fiercely. The two were more or less wounded and bruised. William was at a disadvantage. He had not recovered yet from the gunshot and from being comatose. Now, he also had to worry about Mary. Although he had successfully checked on her from time to time, he could not hold on for long.

Suddenly, Corbett found an opportunity to punch William's face hard. Unable to defend himself, William was knocked sideways and staggered back a few steps. This caused one of his feet to get submerged in the cold water.

Behind him was Mary. Seeing that William was beaten, she quickly asked, "William, are you okay?"

He nodded his head in response, indicating that she did not need to worry.

"It seems that you can't hold on anymore." Corbett shook his hand and said contemptuously, "Then I won't show mercy to you now."

William tried his best to straighten himself up. With a fierce stare, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Before he could say something out of spite, he saw a man running to Corbett hurriedly. When he reached Corbett, he whispered something in his ear and a flustered expression appeared on Corbett's face.

Upon seeing that, William frowned. He tried his best to listen but he was only able to make out a few Japanese words. Saving... Dead...

"Fuck!" Hearing his subordinate's report, Corbett suddenly became angry. He turned around and looked at the opposite bay, but saw nothing. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and reached out to grab the pistol tied around the waist of one of his subordinates.

William immediately realized that something was wrong. Corbett had already known that the children had been saved, so he must want to... "Mary!" William yelled instinctively. He quickly turned around and rushed to the pillar as fast as he could with all his remaining strength. As soon as he reached Mary, he hugged her.

Bang!

Sure enough, Corbett, with red eyes, shot in the direction of Mary. The bullet went straight into William's back and his skin tore open.

"Ugh." William groaned in pain.

Bang!

Unsatisfied, Corbett fired the gun again. This time, Mary felt William's body jerk.

"William!" Mary screamed sharply. She saw her terrified expressions in William's glassy eye. She desperately cut off the remained rope despite her wounded and bleeding hands. William's body trembled from the gunshot. Frantic, Mary hugged his weak body.

"Mary..." When William spoke, warm blood gushed from his mouth.

"Stop talking!" She burst into tears in fear. She wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked, "What should I do? What should I do? You're bleeding! William... Don't scare me."

"I'm fine," he mouthed. Despite only muttering two words, he was already tired and numb. Although his arms were still like steel, they circled around Mary. "Don't die," said Mary while crying loudly. She touched the outline of William's face with her trembling fingers and repeated the same sentence in a hoarse voice, "Don't die. Don't die. Don't die."

"Mr. Lan, it turns out that you have sent someone to save the three children!" Still holding the gun, Corbett slowly approached the two. "No wonder you tried so hard to fight me. Were you buying time? Impressive!"

Not caring about anything anymore, Mary burst into tears while holding William. The sea water around the two had been stained with blood.

"It's useless for you to buy time now. It's too late," Corbett continued. "Since you two love each other so much, I'll send you to hell together!"

"Corbett!"

As soon as Corbett finished speaking, a sharp but slightly panting female voice came from behind. "Interpol! Drop your weapon! You are surrounded!"

Stunned, Corbett turned around in surprise. At a glance, his eyes widened upon seeing Aisha, who looked exactly like Mary. With a murderous look in her eyes, Aisha held a gun in one hand and a police ID card in the other.

Behind her, a group of Interpol officers, all armed and wearing bulletproof vest, surrounded the trestle. "It's you!" Realizing something, Corbett narrowed his eyes. No wonder Mary's expression in her eyes was familiar! She and Aisha were twins! So the woman who had followed him from China to Japan was the female police officer in front of him.

"It's me!" Aisha held up her gun and stared at Corbett menacingly. "How have you been? You lost last time. Is the wound on your shoulder already healed?"
