Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom
Chapter 541 No Going Back

Just as the words left my lips, a sudden cry was heard. "Chloe, be careful!"

I jolted, barely turning around before Atlas yanked me to the other side. Simultaneously, I noticed a shadow lunging toward him, a short blade gleaming in their hand.

I cried out in shock, "Atlas! Knife..."

Atlas dodged the attack, engaging in a fierce struggle with the assailant. I screamed, unable to believe the sudden turn of events. The guards from the restaurant were now rushing over. However, at that moment, the assailant seemed to lose control. He ruthlessly lunged at Atlas once more.

Atlas evaded. But to my horror, the assailant swiftly turned toward me, the speed leaving me defenseless. All that remained were my cries of alarm.

In an instant, a figure yanked me away, the momentum causing her body to lurch forward.

Then, in the next heartbeat, her form seemed to freeze. In the brief moment before the guards reached him, he vaulted, disappearing into the ocean's depths. Gunshots echoed in my ears. Everything returned to a semblance of normalcy.

Others were rushing toward us, and I stood there, still trembling. Atlas embraced me tightly.

Yet, I watched in horror the next moment as Trinity slumped down.

I broke out of my trance. "Trinity..." Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was Trinity's voice that had warned me to be careful, and it was she who had, in that moment of sheer terror, pulled me aside. But now...

I pushed Atlas away and ran to her side, dropping to my knees and looking at her. "Trinity..."

Her complexion was ghostly pale, and she looked at me with a faint smile. "Damn..."

Only then did I notice her right hand pressed against her abdomen, fresh crimson blood seeping out.

"Trinity!" Upon seeing the scene before me, my voice caught in my throat, leaving me speechless. There was no turning back now.

"Don't... shout..." Trinity looked at me with an impatient sigh.

"Trinity..." Atlas also approached, concern etched across his face. "Get a speedboat, hurry, and inform Jared. Send the ship's doctor to come over!" "Trinity..." I urgently called out to her. "How are you feeling?"

She was deathly pale, and her lips gradually turned blue.

"Trinity, hold on. I'll take you to the hospital right away. Don't fall asleep. Chlo, talk to her. Don't let her fall asleep!" Atlas quickly instructed me, then turned back and shouted, "Dylan!"

He looked at Trinity's condition, growing increasingly unsettled.

He bellowed, "Helicopter! Her condition's deteriorating. Get the helicopter here! I'm afraid the speedboat won't make it in time!"

Dylan responded promptly, "I've already arranged it. It's on its way."

"Trinity, hold on, Trinity!" I gripped Trinity's other hand, looking at her. But by now, blood was already spreading across the deck. "Atlas, hurry... Hurry... Trinity..."

I was in a state of panic. I hadn't

blow meant for me. Her life hung by

a thread.

I watched her lips grow bluer, a sense of dread washing over me. I turned to Atlas, yelling, "How did this happen? What happened to her?"

Atlas squeezed my shoulder, signaling me not to say more.

"Jared...tell him! If something happens to me, make sure... to take care of the Huffman family!" Trinity looked at me, speaking in broken phrases. "Tell him... to take care... of my father!"

"Trinity, you'll be okay!" Atlas reassured her solemnly.

I anxiously scanned our surroundings, my heart screaming out. Why wasn't Jared here yet?

Trinity's condition seemed to worsen by the second. Even Atlas appeared increasingly distressed. He shouted at Dylan behind him, "Why isn't the helicopter here yet?"
