Chapter 92

Young women are different; their skin is so smooth and tender.

Aiden had only touched her a few times before he started having wicked thoughts. "I heard you're still a student. It'd be such a waste if you died now. How about you become my mistress? I won't kill you then."

Christina didn't want to die, but she definitely didn't want to get involved with a man like him.

Being his mistress would be worse than death.

"Aiden, what are you doing?" Bianca, who had just walked into the cabin, came back out, looking displeased. "The captain is ready to head back. Hurry up."

Aiden felt a pang of regret for not getting Christina, but he couldn't admit his intentions in front of Bianca.

He dragged Christina to the side of the deck and forcefully pushed her over the edge. "Go to hell!"

A sudden light shone on his face.

Aiden's expression changed from menacing to panicked. How could there be another boat nearby?

Had someone seen him committing the crime?

No, he had to think of something.

"Shit!"

Joseph lowered his flashlight, his mouth agape. "Guess what I just saw?"

"A murder?" William said offhandedly.

Joseph nodded vigorously. "Not just a murder, but someone we know. You know Christina, right?"

Even though Joseph didn't like Christina, if she got yelled at, he'd probably clap along. But seeing her pushed into the sea was a matter of life and death.

No matter their past issues, saving her was the priority.

He tossed William's fishing rod aside. "Stop fishing and call the Coast Guard. We need to get over there and save her."

"You're the one who dragged me out here for night fishing, and now you're saying to stop." William was both amused and annoyed. "Don't tell me you saw Christina committing murder."

No matter how outrageous Christina was, she wouldn't commit murder.

Joseph slapped his thigh. "She didn't kill anyone. She was tied to a chair and pushed into the sea. If we don't get there soon, she'll be shark food!"

William's expression changed.

Joseph was a doctor; he wouldn't joke about something like this. Christina was really in danger.

"I'll start the boat. You call for help and get more people. We need to save her first." Joseph quickly headed to the cockpit.

He revved the engine and steered the boat towards where Christina had fallen.

Aiden was now completely panicked, his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably. "What do we do? They're coming over."

"Let's just kill them all," Bianca suggested.

Before she could finish, Aiden slapped her hard across the face.

"This isn't like killing chickens. It's murder! I don't even know how many people are on that boat, and murder is illegal!" Aiden was furious. He had already killed Mia and Christina. That was two lives.

If he killed more people, it would be a major crime. The police would get involved, and they wouldn't be able to escape.

He could face the death penalty!

"What do we do then? We can't just stand here and wait for them to take us to the police. I want our son to have a good life, not become an orphan." Bianca was on the verge of tears.

She was truly regretting it now.

If she had known, she would have let Mia live a bit longer, tricked her into going abroad, and let her die quietly there.

"Let's head back. We'll create an alibi. That person probably didn't see my face clearly. Let's go back." Aiden clung to the hope that the person hadn't seen him clearly.

Bianca, equally panicked, ran to inform the captain to turn back.

By the time Joseph's boat arrived, they had already fled far away.

"They think they can run after committing a crime? In this day and age, with big data, they'll be caught in no time." Joseph sneered at the retreating boat.

He decided to let them go for now. The police would catch up with them eventually, and they'd face justice.

For now, he and William needed to save Christina.

"Christina was tied to a chair and thrown into the sea. She must be at the bottom by now. You stay on the boat; I'll go down." William took off his jacket, grabbed a diving flashlight, and jumped into the water.

Joseph anxiously waited on the boat.

He wanted to help search, but he knew staying on the boat was the best way to support William.

Christina was on the brink of suffocation.

She couldn't believe that after being given a second chance at life, she was going to die silently in the deep sea.

She couldn't accept her fate.

But the chair leg was stuck in a rock crevice, and her hands were tightly bound. She couldn't muster any strength. She could only wait for death.

Suddenly, a light shone in her vision. William swam towards her quickly, circled behind her, and cut the ropes on her wrists with a sharp knife. Then he grabbed her and swam towards the surface.

Soon, they both broke through the water's surface.

Christina greedily gulped in the fresh air.

"Do you have any strength left? If you do, grab the rope, and I'll pull you up." Joseph had tied a knot in the boat's rope and threw it to her.

Christina looked up and saw it was him!

Joseph sarcastically remarked, "Ms. Windsor, at a time like this, you wouldn't still want me to leave, would you?"

"Let me remind you, there aren't many people night fishing. In your current state, you won't last long. If you miss us, you'll really be left to die in the sea."

Christina wouldn't let their past issues make her give up her life.

She quickly grabbed the rope.

"You grabbed that pretty fast." Joseph said, but his hands didn't stop moving.

He and William, who was already on the boat, pulled her up quickly.

Once they confirmed Christina was out of danger, Joseph wanted to mock her.

But before he could, Christina urgently pointed to the sea. "You need to save someone else. Another person was thrown into the sea, also tied to a chair. If we delay any longer, she might not make it."

Mia had been in the water much longer than she had!

Joseph's face turned serious. "What's going on? William, take care of her. I'm going down."

"You're the doctor. You stay here." William said, already jumping into the water.
