At that time, Jenna was uncharacteristically calm. She had to be strong for the sake of her son. Her eyes fell onto a rock next to her and she was about to step on it.
“Jenna, it’s your turn. Goodbye.” Zoella’s sinister and eerie laughter rang out.
Jenna felt panic surge through her as she shuddered. The instant she raised her eyes, she saw Zoella smirking at her and Jerry as she pulled the trigger of the gun.
“Jesus.” She suddenly had a bad feeling. She was about to step on another stone, but it was too late.
“Burn in h*ll,” Zoella said, glad that this cat and mouse game was about to end. She watched as Jenna and Jerry struggled. She then stretched her leg and kicked the stone that Jenna was standing on.
“Jenna!” A painful cry could be heard as Hansen suddenly emerged from the cave.
It turned out that when Hansen had been escorting the man around the path behind him, he discovered that Jenna’s car was parked by the river bank. When they crossed the bridge and climbed halfway up the mountain, they discovered a cave. As they entered the cave, they found a tunnel that stretched deep and long. Hansen instantly understood why Aria had been able to stand at the edge of the cliff. It turned out that the cave behind her was connected to the cliff.
As they continued forward, they could vaguely see the light outside the cave. At that time, they heard a gunshot.
Hansen’s heart sank when he heard the gunshot. He immediately ran towards the sound, like a madman.
At that moment, Zoella wore a ghoulish smile on her face.
She had been standing on a stone as she pulled the trigger at Aria. At the same time, she stretched one of her legs and viciously kicked the rock that Jenna was standing on.
The rock and the ground instantly cracked apart. Jenna carried Jerry in her arms and fell into the moat below the cliff.
When Zoella had extended her leg to the rock, Jenna had instantly realized that she would not be able to escape the plight.
When Jenna heard Hansen’s screams, she took advantage of the time she had left before the ground completely cracked apart, gathered all of her strength, and threw Jerry into the open space in front of her.
However, this also accelerated the rift forming between the stone and the ground.
By the time Hansen emerged from the cave, he saw Jenna thrust Jerry into the open space in front of her with all her might.
It was a pity that she did not possess enough strength to throw Jerry far enough.
“Jenna!” Hansen’s eyes darkened as he screamed. He watched as Jenna fell off the cliff. However, the important thing was to save Jerry. He quickly opened his arms and leaped towards Jerry. He managed to catch Jerry just in time while hanging onto the rock. The whole action was completed in an instant.
“Bang, bang.” Kimmel, who was behind Hansen, immediately rushed out after hearing two successive gunshots. With his sharp eyes, he had seen that Zoella was about to shoot Jenna and Jerry. He immediately reached for his gun and shot Zoella in the chest.
He quickly looked around and saw Hansen hanging onto a rock.
“Quick, catch Jerry,” Hansen’s eyes were already red. He threw Jerry at Kimmel and was about to jump off the cliff to save Jenna.
At that time, there was a muffled sound at the bottom of the river. Jenna had already fallen into the river. Almost in an instant, her body was being tossed and turned by the strong currents of the river.
Hansen’s vision suddenly went dark as his grip loosened.
At that time, the calm and composed Kimmel managed to catch Jerry. He then quickly reached out and grabbed Hansen’s hand before he slipped and fell into the river. Kimmel shouted, “Hansen, I’ve got you. Come up quickly.”
“Let go of me. I have to save Jenna,” Hansen roared. He wanted so desperately to save Jenna. He bellowed so loudly, that it shook the ground and the sky.
Kimmel placed Jerry on the open space in front of the cave and quickly took out the rope that he brought. He tied one end of the rope to a sturdy rock and the other to Hansen’s wrist. He breathed a sigh of relief and freed his hands to pull Hansen.
“Jenna.” At that time, Hansen watched as Jenna plunged into the rapid river and disappeared. He wanted nothing more than to jump into the river to save her, but Kimmel had tied a rope around his wrist.
Kimmel stared at the cliff at his feet and said in a stern voice, “Hansen, climb up quickly.”
“No, untie the rope. I’m going to save Jenna,” Hansen yelled back. His eyes were red, and he looked as if he was in the grip of bloodlust.
Kimmel was extremely calm as he shouted, “Hansen, do you want Jerry to lose his parents? Come on up. There’s a bomb buried in the cave. It’s going to explode anytime soon.”
Kimmel knew better than anyone else that if Hansen were to jump into the river right then, death would be his only ending.
His words caught Hansen’s attention. Kimmel seized the opportunity to grab hold of his arm and used all his strength to yank him up. Thankfully, he managed to pull him up just in time.
Kimmel did not waste any time. As soon as he pulled Hansen up, he grabbed him along with Jerry and headed for the cave.
It wasn’t long after they entered the cave.
“Boom!” Suddenly, there was a loud explosion at the entrance of the cave. The huge explosion shook the rocks in the mountain and swallowed the entrance of the cave.
In Hansen’s mind, there was only the scene of Jenna falling into a bottomless abyss. The moment before the bomb exploded, he struggled to get rid of Kimmel’s hand. At that time, a burst of burning light flashed up to the sky. Just as he was about to turn towards the cliff, he felt a burning sensation in front of his eyes. He blacked out and fell onto the ground.
“Jenna, my child.” A black car pulled up by the foot of the cliff. Quina then helped Madam Lilian out of the car. She was met with a scene that she would never be able to forget. The scene where Jenna had thrown Jerry to safety as she was about to fall off the cliff. Hansen had opened his arms to catch Jerry while he hung onto the rock.
Her vision was poor. She could only watch helplessly as Jenna’s body fell into the abyss below the cliff, and before long, was devoured by the fast-moving river.
Her vision suddenly went blurry as she cried out Jenna’s name. Soon after, she fainted.
When Alvin had seen that Jerry was being held by Jenna, he realized that the threat wasn’t too great. So, he decided to lead the Grand Eagles team up the mountain. Unfortunately, it was a long way up from the foot of the mountain to the top. By the time he arrived at the top, he only saw the enormous burst of flame caused by the explosion.
At that time, Jordan led a team of policemen up the mountain as well.
However, they were too late.
Alvin’s heart ached. At that time, in order to avoid provoking Aria, Hansen had insisted that he went to meet her alone. No one could bear such a heavy consequence. For the first time in his life, Alvin shed tears of pain.
The mountain wind was blowing, the river was roaring.
Autumn was coming.
At that moment, on Sunshine Mountain, the autumn rain began to fall faintly, bringing with it waves of coldness.
Everyone stood there in a daze, and the silence was blood-curdling.
Everything in the world returned to tranquility.
