Chapter 1042


    The chopper was hovering just above theke when Arabe, without a second thought, ordered the


    cabin door to be opened and jumped out.


    Joyce and Mavis were sinking fast, weighed down by rocks.


    Arabe swam with all her might towards the deep, soon spotting the familiar figures of Joyce and Be


    sinking further into theke.


    Both Joyce and Mavis were bound by ropes, their struggle to stay afloat bing more and more


    futile as they held their breaths for what seemed like an eternity. Would they die here?


    Tears sprang to Joyce''s eyes. She had no understanding of how she ended up in such a situation.


    Her distress caused her to involuntarily gulp in a mouthful of water. The suffocating feeling


    overwhelmed her, she was desperate for help, anyone to save her.


    Just when she had given up hope, she felt a tug on her rope. She widened her eyes to see Arabe!


    Arabe was cutting the rope that bound her to the rock, but the water slowed her movements.


    Tears streamed down Joyce''s face. She couldn''t believe Arabe was risking her life to save her.


    She wanted to cry out but held back, fearing it would make their rescue more difficult.


    Suddenly, several people dived into the water, swimming towards them.


    The fastest swimmer was Romeo, who helped cut the ropes off Joyce and then tried to pull Arabe to


    the surface. But Arabe was insistent on saving Mavis.


    Meanwhile, Romeo''s men swam towards Mavis, cutting her ropes and pulling her away from theke


    bed.


    Finally, after what felt like an eternity, they all managed to reach the surface, gasping for fresh air.


    Joyce was a whirlwind of feelings, her head spinning.


    “Let''s get to shore first,’ Arabe said, guiding her towards the shore with Romeo close by, offering help

    when possible.


    Back on solid ground, Joyce was shivering from the cold and Mavis, who had swallowed a lot of water,


    was still unconscious.


    After chestpression from Arabe, Mavis coughed up water and clung to Arabe, crying


    uncontrobly.


    "Be." Mavis seemed oblivious to the others, sobbing, "Those men were so cruel, tying rocks to us,


    punching us. Joyce''s face is all swollen."


    Looking at Joyce''s swollen face and broken lips, Arabe felt a pang of sympathy, "Don''t worry, we''ll


    get back at them for this."


    “Who were they? They wouldn''t tell us anything, just pushed us towards theke. I even scraped my


    knees and they just grabbed me and then they hit us.” Mavis was crying her heart out.


    Arabeforted her like a child, speaking softly, “It''s over now, let''s get out of here."


    “Thank goodness you came, thank you for saving us." Mavis clung to her, crying.


    Romeo noticed the deep trust and affection the girls had for Arabe. And the way sheforted them


    was so gentle.


    “Alright now, it''s okay. Don''t cry.” Arabe finally managed to soothe them.


    Joyce threw herself at Arabe, "Be, you came just in time. Thank you for saving us"


    If Arabe were a minutete, they would have drowned.


    After they had calmed down, Arabe led them to the helicopter.


    Romeo draped a nket over Arabe, helping her dry her hair, “Be careful not to catch a cold"


    “I''m fine"
