Chapter 217 She Cared About Him
Chapter 217 She Cared About Him
Martha soon found the cruise but she stopped at the entrance.
She held the railings tightly until her knuckles turned pale.
She finally admitted she was worried.
Was she here too late?
She didn't dare to board it, for fear she might see something she didn't want to see.
She didn't want to see either of them died.
She needed Rhys' help to save her son and he couldn't die.
But Stefan...
A voice inside told her that he deserved it and she didn't need to be guilty at all, but...
She couldn't do it.
She herself didn't even realize her worries for Stefan.
Martha stopped thinking, forced herself to calm down and then boarded the cruise ship.
As soon as she got into the interior, she saw-
Rhys was pointing a gun at Stefan's head while Stefan was standing opposite him.
The two didn't move but were in a confrontation.
Hearing the footsteps, they didn't move.
When Martha saw this, her heart skipped a beat.
She walked to Stefan and looked at him up and down.
"Stefan, are you alright?"
The gunshot just now...
She still got lingering fear.
Martha's worried expression and the nervousness in her voice attracted the attention of both Rhysand Stefan.
They didn't expect her to be here.
Stefan didn't even need to guess. It must be Eden who told her.
He was surprised by her worries and concern for him just now.
He got mixed feelings but mostly thrilled.
Martha didn't know what he was thinking but carefully checked if he was wounded.
Seeing that he didn't answer, she asked again, "Are you okay? Answer me!"
Martha didn't see any wound in him, but the looks on their faces...
They looked scary
Stefan looked down into her eyes, which were filled with worries.
Eyes won't lie. She was really worried about him.
He arched his eyebrows and chuckled.
His chuckle irritated Martha.
"I was asking you! Why are you laughing?"novelbin
Was it hilarious?
She didn't think so.
She felt it foolish that they were risking their lives here.
Stefan stopped smiling and looked serious, "See? You care about me."
After these words, he couldn't help smiling again.
There was complacency in his smile.
It was a huge surprise to know that she cared about him.
All he could think about now was her worried look.
He couldn't get it out of his mind.
It was one of the few moments when he felt relieved and delighted.
At least...
She cared about him.
She asked about him first instead of Rhys after she got here.
She even ignored Rhys here.
This brought him so much pleasure. It was worth to die for it today.
Martha double checked that he was safe and then turned to look at the gun in Rhys' hand.
She looked at the target the gun was pointing at.
Although it seemed it was targeted at Stefan.
After careful observation, she found that...
It was slightly tilted. It had just past Stefan's head and shot the chair behind him.
The chair was shot and the cotton inside was out. She could vaguely see the bullet inside.
It turned out...
The gunshot was on the chair.
Martha was finally relieved.
Fortunately, she got here in time.
She breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the agreement on the table.
Just a few glances, she knew what was in it and knew why Stefan was here.
He wanted to trade all he had for Jimmy's life
She didn't know how to describe her feelings, which were mixed and complicated.
He did this to make it up to them.
Though he knew it wouldn't work.
When Martha looked back, Stefan was looking at Rhys.
He looked at him with a provocative smile, declaring his victory.
It seemed he was saying, "No matter what you do or what trick you use, she won't be yours."
Rhys' eyes turned cold.
He put the gun down and suddenly felt it meaningless. He sneered, "This is boring. I don't have timefor this."
Hearing this, Martha's face changed and she was nervous again.
Did he mean he wouldn't save Jimmy?
Stefan noticed her panic and felt sorry when he saw her face turning pale.
He knew what she wanted the most.
He walked up to Rhys and stopped in front of him.
"If you really want to take revenge, just kill me and it will be over."
Rhys didn't say a word but sneered at the two indifferently.
Stefan was angry and was about to snap when Martha said behind them, "In fact, you don't wantanyone dead, do you?"
Martha didn't care about Rhys' reply and continued, "You're not a bad person. You just want anidentity to be recognized by everyone."
When Rhys heard this, some unfathomable emotions flashed across Rhys' eyes.
Stefan pursed his lips. That was what Rhys wanted?
No! He wouldn't allow it!
"No way. He will never get one."
Rhys had regained his usual indifferent expression, "I have told you, I don't care."
Martha had learned the feud between the two and knew what they were struggling with.
But she would have to think about a way to solve it.
"There's misunderstanding between the two of you. The story of the last generation is not as youthink it is. There's more to it."
