Chapter 833 Keep the Promise
Gene's heart seemed to stop, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand towards Lucia. At this moment, Lucia turned around again and bumped into Spencer with herself as a shield. The railing on the side of the boat was not high, and Spencer was caught without any defense. As soon as she hit his foot, he couldn't stand still, and fell off the railing with Lucia in the next second.
At the very moment, Gene's hand stretched out, but what he held was not Lucia's hand, but the baby's swaddle in Spencer's arms. He lifted the baby up with all his strength.
But Lucia and Spencer had already fallen under the yacht. Dan jumped up quickly when he saw this, and jumped towards their position.
Arthur also rushed to the railing at this time. He lowered his head and shouted heart-piercingly,
"Lucia!!!"
What responded to Arthur was the roar of the engine. It turned out that Spencer and Lucia had just landed on the speedboat. The sailors were caught off guard. As soon as they were about to save them, Dan jumped down and knocked them out. He pushed the sailors into the sea, and started the engine immediately. Without a trace of hesitation, he drove into the distance.
At full speed, the speedboat just disappeared from the sight of Arthur and his group.
Just as Gene was about to hand over the baby to Arthur, who was still in shock, Jack grabbed Gene's collar and yelled angrily,
"Why not save Lucia!"
He also saw the situation just now. Gene could obviously grab Lucia's hand!
Gene's expression was extremely painful, but his eyes only looked at Arthur, and he explained helplessly.
"Long before that, Lucia had talked with me alone. Because I am the only one with a daughter, she asked me to judge her feelings by my own, and no matter what happens in the future, I must give priority to protecting the safety of the baby... so I must save the baby first!"
Gene didn't regret his choice, but only regretted not being able to rescue Lucia together with the baby.
When Arthur turned his head to look at Gene, his eyes were red and he couldn't say a word.
After listening to Gene's explanation, Jack let him go, and then Gene slowly handed the baby out to Arthur's arms.
The action of hugging the baby was completely subconscious. Arthur was out of his mind at this time and his heart had left with Lucia. Until Otis carefully tore off the tape on the baby's mouth, and a sharp cry sounded, Arthur's soul came back.
"Baby..." He suddenly realized that all Lucia's risky actions just now were for the safety of their daughter. Arthur's eyes were red, and after a murmur, he hugged the baby in his arms tightly. "Lucia, the baby is all right..."
"But what about you?" owns this.
At this time, the calmest one was Esmae, who had just been freed from the shackles with the help of her two sons. Because she knew Lucia's thoughts best, she walked up to Arthur and said,
"Arthur, calm down now. Lucia has never been a person who is resigned to fate, and she will not give up any chance. Now that the baby has been rescued, she has no worries, so she will definitely find a chance to save herself. All we have to do now is catch up with Spencer and give Lucia a chance."
"Ms. Wilson is right," Otis said, unwilling to see Arthur's red eyes.
"Arthur, the yacht is under our control and we can catch up to them in no time."
Arthur's eyes flashed when he heard the words. He looked in the direction where Spencer was escaping, suppressed the desolation and sadness in his heart, and quickly made a decision.
"Ms. Wilson, take care of the baby first. We will chase after it right away! Jack, go and tell the freighter to sail in our direction and join us as soon as possible."
Esmae was relieved to see Arthur cheer up, and was about to reach out to take the baby, when a cold voice came from behind them.
"Mr. Davies, you really forgot to save Casper, right?"
Arthur and his group turned back in astonishment, only to see Nia standing in front of the dark corridor with a few of her subordinates, staring at them coldly.
It turned out that after seeing Erik locked back in the room, Nia guessed that Arthur and the others must have already acted. She was worried about Casper's safety and decided to follow. It happened that Arthur didn't send anyone to keep an eye on her and a few of her subordinates deliberately. So she sneaked onto the deck and boarded the helicopter.
Just now, Arthur and the others were not distracted to observe the surroundings, so she boarded the yacht smoothly, and also saw the scene of Arthur and the others standing on the dark corridor instead of saving Casper.
"We didn't stop saving him, but Spencer and the others just escaped." Otis said frankly. Why didn't they show up when the situation was critical just now? Now that Spencer had escaped, she was blaming them.
Nia sneered, noncommittal. Now she had the confidence, and when she was self-righteous and convinced that Arthur was not going to save Casper, she no longer felt sorry, but walked towards them indifferently with her men, went straight to the bilge and found Casper who was trapped.
"What a crazy woman." Otis couldn't help scolding.
Although full of doubts and grievances, seeing Casper weakly paralyzed in the corner of the bilge, Nia couldn't help feeling distressed. She hugged Casper and told him that she missed him, and told him how hard she had chased him until Casper reminded her to rescue him before Nia recovered from her thoughts.
Knowing that now was not the time to settle accounts, Nia never mentioned what Leon had accidentally revealed. She helped Casper into the cabin and sat down, and ordered people to go to the kitchen to find food to replenish his strength.
But Casper didn't care about his own situation. He propped up tremblingly and looked around.
"Casper, what are you looking for?" Nia asked curiously.
"Where's Arthur?" Casper said.
"He should be on the deck. What do you ask him for? He's never thought of saving you!" Nia's words were full of resentment, but Casper didn't care.
Knowing that Arthur might be on the deck, he asked Nia to help him find him. Although Nia was reluctant, she couldn't stop them, and the two came to the deck.
"Mr. Davies, where is Ms. Webb?" Just now Nia refused to mention Lucia's situation, so Casper could only ask Arthur himself.
When Nia heard that Casper still thought of Lucia, she immediately became unhappy.
"She was taken away by Spencer and Dan in the speedboat." Arthur's voice was extremely low.
"Dan is on the speedboat too?" Casper asked with raised eyebrows.
Arthur immediately noticed that Casper's tone was wrong. Recalling the scene when he saw Dan holding Lucia tightly, he asked,
"Is there anything special about Dan?"
"He fell in love with her. With him on the speedboat, you don't have to worry about her safety for the time being." Casper replied without the slightest hesitation.
