When Sabrina sprinted out of the hospital, nobody dared to stop her.
Given her combat skills and desperation, the bodyguards assigned by the Hayes family dared not
subdue her by force. By the time Solomon got wind of what happened and rushed to the hospital,
Sabrina was already gone.
Instead of asking about Sabrina, he inquired about Devin. “Where did Edmund go?”
The men in black suits hastened to reply, “We don’t know where he went. However, there was a loud
explosion from one of the high-end villas in the western district.”
The western district? An explosion?
Solomon’s expression darkened. Taking some men with him, he headed there at once.
In the western district, the sounds of fierce battle had stopped shortly after the explosion.
Since both parties were skilled, no one held back, wanting to take their opponents down with the
fastest speed.
In a little more than ten minutes, Devin and Janice had killed all five people who tried to attack them.
After the fight ended, Janice stood in front of one of the dead bodies, panting while wiping the blood off
her face. She said to Devin, “I’ve heard plenty about the notorious reputation of Benedict Cooper’s son
in Yorksland. I didn’t expect you to be so skilled.”
Devin merely smiled and put away the gun he was holding.

earlier.
“Where are you heading to after this? You’ve killed so many of their men today; I don’t think they’ll
spare you,” said Devin.
“I know that, but I still haven’t found my son,” she replied.
Janice stood at the end of the pier with a sorrowful expression, gazing out toward the sea in the
darkness.
Devin fell silent.
How should I reply to her? Should I tell her that I’ll help her to look for him? But I’m Edmund now. Still,
I’m also a father, so I can understand the terror and torture of losing a child.
In the end, Janice slowly got onto the speedboat.
“Mr. Cooper, I have something for you,” she said.
“What is it?” Devin asked, looking at her somewhat puzzledly.
Janice did not elaborate. Instead, she took out a black USB drive and a map in a waterproof bag.
“This is everything I’ve gathered while working at The Coffee Shop. The map shows all the locations of
the firearms smugglers. In the USB drive is a list of everyone The Coffee Shop has worked for. Isaac
gave it to me. Since you’re out to avenge your father, I think you’ll find it useful.”
Devin’s head snapped up, and he stared at her.
It was not only because it was such a big surprise, but also because he could not believe she would
entrust something so important to him. Why would she give them to me? We only met briefly by
chance. Why would she give me these things that she risked her life to obtain?
Looking at her intently, he began to sense that there was something amiss with her.
After taking the things she handed him, he saw her body sway. The moment the engine roared to life
and the speedboat moved forward, she smiled at him and collapsed.
“Janice!”
Horrified, Devin started running, intending to leap onto the speedboat.
However, it was too late. When the speedboat was about thirty or forty meters away, there was an ear-
splitting bang, and the boat exploded!
Devin stared at it in shock.
He stood there for a long time without moving an inch, watching as the boat burst into flames on the
water and the debris raining down from the sky.
Suddenly, a woman spotted him and threw herself at him, hugging him tightly from behind.
“Hubby!” Sabrina cried out while sobbing.
It was the first time she had ever called him like that after they got married.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDevin trembled.
After a few seconds, he slowly turned around. His expression was unfathomable. Gusts of chilly sea
breeze blew on them as he looked down at her.
“I was wrong. I should have listened to you. Let’s return to Jadeborough at once! We’ll go home, back
to our daughter. Let’s leave now, okay?”
She lifted her tear-stained face toward him.
With tears streaming down her cheeks, she apologized for making a terrible mistake. She regretted the
decision she had made in the day. Instead of refusing to follow him, she should have gone back with
him.
She feared that he would refuse. Wearing only a thin hospital gown that flapped in the freezing wind,
she held back her tears and pleaded carefully, “Let’s forget about everything here and leave now,
okay?”
This is the woman that I know, the one that only loves me.
Wordlessly, Devin pulled her into his arms and embraced her tightly.
Squeezing his eyes shut, he buried his wind-chilled face in the crook of her neck. Finally, he forced the
words out of his mouth. “Okay. Let’s go home.”
Yes, home. This terrible war is finally about to end. We should go home.
