The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He (Lily and John) novel Chapter 614

Chapter 614 Lost to the Sea

But as long as there was even the faintest chance, he couldn’t give up.

Every second he failed to find her, her danger grew.

Time was so precious–he couldn’t waste even a breath.

“Boss…”

Ashton’s voice was hoarse from pleading, but James, his eyes bloodshot, just kept swimming forward.

Sometimes he dove beneath the surface, searching.

But no matter how long he searched, he still couldn’t find the woman he loved.

In the end, Ashton stopped trying to persuade him.

He knew James loved Lily too much–words would never turn him back.

Besides, Ashton too wanted to find Lily quickly. If they didn’t, he didn’t dare imagine what would become of James.

So he swam desperately alongside, praying for a miracle–that one of them might spot Lily still alive.

But fate was cruel. James lost too much blood and eventually fainted, and they still found nothing.

“James!”

Not long after Ashton dove in, Simon arrived as well.

The longer Lily remained missing, the colder and more pained his heart grew.

When he saw James unconscious, he rushed to help Ashton haul him back to shore.

James owned two yachts, and his men quickly began sweeping the waters.

Rescue teams had also arrived, but despite the numbers, they still hadn’t found any trace of Lily.

With every minute that passed, Simon and Ashton’s faces grew darker.

When Lily fell, James had been too far away.

Firmed

By the time he reached the cliff and leapt, two or three minutes had already passed.

If he had been able to reach her right away and pull her to shore, there might have been hope.

Now nearly three hours had gone by since she fell.

Even if they did find her, what they brought back would only be a body.

“James!”

Doctors soon arrived and began tending to the unconscious man’s wounds.

Elsa, feigning concern, walked over.

Her eyes were reddened as she looked at James lying motionless, then she lifted her tearful gaze to Simon. “Simon, you still haven’t found Lily? After all this time, I’m really so worried…”

She thought of how Simon had thrown himself off the cliff like a madman, and hatred for Lily gnawed at her.

But as always, she hid it well, pretending to be deeply concerned.

Seeing Simon’s grief–stricken face and silence, she added quickly, “Lily is blessed. She’ll be fine. Alive we must see her, dead we must see her body. As long as we haven’t found her, there’s still hope she’s alive.”

Inwardly she sneered–by now Lily must surely be dead.

Best if her body was only found ten days later, bloated and disfigured by seawater. Then Simon would never remember her with longing, only with revulsion.

“Doctor, how is he? James, please wake up!”

“Ashton, please keep quiet!”

Though Ashton had no proof, he was certain today’s events were tied to Elsa.

She hated Lily so fiercely, and now Lily was missing–yet here Elsa was, hovering and playing the part of the good person. He couldn’t stomach it.

Elsa’s lips trembled with feigned hurt as she turned teary eyes to Simon, her proud face painted with helplessness.

She wanted Simon to defend her, to comfort her.

Instead, he said, “Lizzy, don’t talk right now.”

His mind was already in turmoil; her chattering only made his head feel like it would split

apart.
