Beside the salt factory at the Western suburbs, a battle of brain and brawl between the kidnappers and rescuers was happening.
Aisha was able to get rid of Corbett's subordinates and rescue the three children. Afterwards, she rushed to the trestle where Mary and William were.
Clutching his injured arm, Lucas got in Jazlyn's car and rushed to follow Aisha. Unfortunately, the trestle was already in a mess when they arrived.
With a loud bang, a huge explosion lit up the sea. It was so intense that it even soared into the sky. Lucas could only watch as Mary and William fell into the deep, cold sea.
"William!" With red eyes, Lucas got off the car right away and rushed to trestle.
"Mary!" At the same time, Aisha screamed and jumped into the water, followed by Archer.
"Lucas, you got a gunshot. Just wait here!" Jazlyn held Lucas's hand which made him stop in tracks. "I'll go."
As she was about to jump off in a hurry to rescue people, Lucas suddenly called her name.
"Jazlyn!" He pulled her back and said with a frown, "Be careful!"
Jazlyn stared into his eyes full of sincerity and concern.
"I will. No worries."
Lucas waited anxiously on the shore. It took the rescue team a long time before they could save Mary and William together.
Both of them were badly injured, drenched with a mixture of blood and water, and unconscious when they were pulled out of the water. Mary had wounds all over her body. Unfortunately, William had it worse for he had no sign of breathing.
Lucas hurried forward. When he saw the two gunshot wounds on William's back, his eyes darkened. "Send them to the hospital! Hurry!" he roared.
Archer carried Mary in his arms. On the other hand, William was carried by two policemen.
With blazing red eyes, Aisha took out her pistol and fired several shots at the sea, splashing water in the process. "Corbett, if anything happens to my sister, I'll kill the whole Shadow Organization!" she roared in the wind.
"Chief Inspector," Peter, the one who had recovered from the gunshot last time, walked up to her and said, "Corbett's body is nowhere to be found."
"Keep searching!" Aisha bellowed. She stared at the bottom of the sea and said, "Even if you retrieve his pile of remains, I don't care! Find him for me!"
"Yes, madam!"
In the emergency room of People's Hospital of A City, both Mary and William were undergoing a life and death situation. Meanwhile, Lucas was taken to the operating room by the doctors.
"Miss! Excuse me, but you can't enter the operating room!" Jazlyn insisted on going in, but was stopped by one of the nurses.
"Get out of my way, Otherwise I'll beat you up!" Jazlyn glared at the nurse and raised her fist as warning.
"Enough!" As Lucas stood at the door of the operating room, his face looked a little pale. He turned around and shouted, "Let her in! It's all right!" "Okay, Dr. Murong!" The nurse nodded and stepped aside.
Lucas lay on the operating table while having an infusion. Although uneasy, Jazlyn held his hand which made him stunned for a moment. The sight of it made him smile and he asked, "What are you doing? I'm not gonna die here."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Jazlyn retorted while glaring at him.
"You look nicer when you're fierce," Lucas murmured. Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his arm, which made him wince.
"What's wrong? Did something bad happen? Are you okay?" Jazlyn was so anxious that she could not help but raise her voice.
