Alexander hurried toward Quinn.


    Ernest''s eyes glinted with malice, a sinister smile spreading across his face.


    With hisst bit of strength, he tightened his grip around Quinn''s neck and stepped back.


    Alexander''s eyes widened.


    He lunged forward, reaching for Quinn, but his fingers only brushed her arm, unable to hold on.


    He watched helplessly as Quinn and Ernest tumbled off the cliff.


    "Quinn!" Alexander shouted.


    Without hesitation, he jumped off the cliff after them.


    "Mr. Kennedy!"


    Kyle and the others burst out of the woods, just in time to witness Alexander leap.


    By the time they reached the cliff''s edge, Alexander was already gone.


    Walter shone a shlight down, but the darkness revealed nothing.


    "This is the second time," Walter said suddenly.


    Kyle, lying at the cliff''s edge, turned to Walter. "What do you mean?"


    Walter''s expression wasplicated, his brows deeply furrowed.


    "This is the second time Alexander''s jumped off a cliff for Quinn."


    "No, actually, it''s the third time."


    "Remember the incident on that ship? He took a knife for Quinn without a second thought."


    Thinking of this, Walter let out a wryugh. "Alexander always says he doesn''t care about Quinn, but when ites down to it, he''s always there for her."


    "Never for himself," Walter added silently.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.

    "It really seems like Alexander values Quinn''s life more than his own."


    "But why won''t he admit it?" Kyle wondered.


    "They won''t die, will they?" Kyle asked, worried.


    "Who knows," Walter replied, turning away from the cliff. "We''ll find out when we go down and check."


    Meanwhile, Quinn was still falling.


    The wind roared past her ears, the sky above filled with stars and a bright full moon.


    She saw Alexander rapidly approaching her.


    In a daze, she found the scene eerily familiar.


    Amidst the swaying shadows of the trees, images shed in her mind.


    She looked up at Alexander, who blocked the moonlight. Tears slid from the corners of her eyes.


    Just a heads up:  is the only ce to read theplete version of this book for free. Don''t miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! She slowly reached out her hand, and above her, Alexander did the same.


    Though only two feet apart, their hands couldn''t touch.


    The cold mountain wind howled, blurring her vision.


    The three of them fell rapidly, crashing into tree branches, and then hitting the ground hard.


    With Ernest beneath her, Quinn had some cushioning, but it still felt like her internal organs were shattering.


    Her vision darkened, and a metallic taste of blood filled her mouth.


    After hitting the ground, she continued to roll down the slope.


    She didn''t know how long she rolled, but her head spun, and she lost consciousness.


    Before cking out, she saw Alexander grab a tree branch. The impact bent and broke the branch. Consequently, Alexander fell to the ground.


    He rolled once, discarded the branch, got up, and rushed toward Quinn, holding her tightly as they rolled down together.
