<b>Chapter </b><b>94 </b><b>I </b><b>Really Love </b><b>You </b>


    Curtis stared, eyes wide with shock, at the figure desperately swimming toward the child in the ocean.


    Brian’s gaze was fixed on Chloe in the same way. His tall frame stood rigid<b>, </b>almost frozen, as he watched her battling the waves.


    The sea kept rolling over her head, yet she pressed on, swimming deeper into danger.


    It was as if the blood in his veins had turned to ice and his breath had stopped. The woman who had been


    by his side just moments ago was now risking everything to save someone else.


    The waves seemed intent on dragging her into danger. <fn2d02> Fresh chapters posted on FιndＮovel</fn2d02>


    Would he ever see her again?


    Just as he would never see his mother.


    Brian’s mind wentpletely nk, yet his body moved on its own, charging toward the surging waters.


    She couldn’t be hurt. She absolutely couldn’t be in danger.


    “Mr. Steele!” The bodyguards who had been secretly watching over him appeared, trying to stop him. After


    all, their top priority was Brian’s safety.


    Brian dodged one of them, but a second bodyguard’s hand shot out toward him.


    In the next instant, Brian lunged forward, executing a swift over–the–shoulder throw that sent the man


    crashing, and he continued his sprint.


    At that moment, his eyes locked on Chloe.


    Everyone watched as Brian plunged into the sea, swimming straight toward her. To rush into the waves


    like that was to risk his own life to save another.


    Chloe had gone in to rescue a child, but who was Brian, head of the Steele family, risking everything for?


    Chloe swam desperately toward the child.


    Rescuing someone in choppy ocean water was far more difficult than in a river. Despite her excellent fitness, strong swimming skills, and training in various water rescue techniques, the relentless waves


    were taking their toll.


    She fought to avoid the crests with every stroke, waiting for each wave to pass before pushing forward.


    Even so, her strength was fading fast.


    She had to save this child. Finally, she managed to grab the child’s arm, and a wave of relief washed over


    her.


    The child, who had swallowed a lot of seawater, had stopped struggling, allowing Chloe to pull them

    <b>Chloe </b>knew she had to get back to the beach as quickly as possible. The window for <b>a </b><b>sessful </b><b>rescue </b>was only a few minutes. If she missed <b>it</b><b>, </b>even getting the child back <b>to </b>shore might be <i>too </i></divte.


    She had <b>to </b>move faster. <b>So </b>much faster.


    Chloe swam frantically, her strength fading with every stroke. Another wave crashed over them, making her feel as if all the progress she and her child had fought for was being swept away.


    <b>Just </b>as panic began to tighten in her chest, a hand suddenly grabbed the child she was holding, giving her


    a brief moment to catch her breath.


    Stunned, Chloe realized the person helping them in the water was none other than Brian. With his assistance, the three of them made it to shore.


    By then, medical staff from the ind had arrived, taken the child, and were already performing CPR.


    “Ms. Quall, Mr. Steele, are you both alright? Do you need a doctor?” someone asked.


    “I’m fine, just need a moment to rest,” Chloe said, panting as she staggered to the side<i>. </i>The intense exertion in the water had left her feeling weak.


    As she tried to steady herself, a hand gripped her waist, holding her in ce. The hand was pale and sharply defined, and at a single nce, Chloe recognized it as Brian’s.


    “Thank you,” she said. “I’m okay. You can…”


    Before she could finish, Brian pulled her into a firm, sudden embrace. His arms held her tightly, yet cautiously, <i>as </i>if he feared hurting her.


    Chloe froze. “Brian?”


    He buried his face in the hollow of her shoulder, inhaling her scent, feeling her warmth. Holding her like this was the only thing that could steady his frantic heartbeat.


    Chloe was here. She was alive.


    She was a living, breathing person right here in his arms!


    He had never realized he could care so deeply for someone so intensely about their life and their safety.


    “What’s wrong?” Chloe asked.


    His hold wasn’t tight, yet it was impossible to break free.


    What worried her even more was that the hands holding her were trembling, shaking violently as if gripped by fear.


    Could it be the trauma of the rescue? After all, with those churning waves, even a rescue <b>could </b>turn deadly.

    “Don’t be afraid,<b>” </b><b>Chloe </b>whispered, trying to soothe him. “It’s all over now. We’re <b>safe</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>


    <b>“</b>Yes. We’re safe,” he murmured against her neck.


    She held him close, and he was safe in her arms, but his body wouldn’t stop trembling.


    It wasn’t just his hands. His entire body shook.


    The fear that had flooded him still lingered. It was the fear of losing her.


    “Chloe,” he whispered, his voice brushing against her ear, “I… I’ve really fallen in love with you.”


    Chloe’s body froze. What was he saying? In love? He had fallen in love with her?


    Surely she must have misheard.


    But Brian’s next words cut through the doubt, leaving no room for misunderstanding.


    “More than I ever thought possible,” he murmured. “So please don’t ever scare me like that again, okay?<b>” </b>


    “What?” Chloe stammered.


    Brian slowly lifted his head, his gaze locking onto hers. Water dripped from his hair and face, soaking himpletely. His pale skin only made his eyes appear darker and more intense than usual.


    Unlike his usual detached, lifeless expression, his eyes now shone with intense anxiety and a deep fear of losing her.


    “From now on, anyone you want to save, I’ll help you save. Anything you want to do, I’ll help you do. You don’t have to put yourself in danger anymore. Whatever you desire, I’ll make it happen,” Brian said, his hoarse, low voice carrying the weight of a sacred vow.


    Chloe stared at him, stunned. He was serious.


    C:


    Lowering his head, he kissed the back of her hand with a devotion that felt almost worshipful.


    “Chloe, don’t leave me. Not in any way,” he whispered, his words drifting softly through the air.


    Nearby, Curtis‘ face went pale. In that instant, he felt as though something precious was slipping away


    forever.
