Chapter 553
Josue frowned and gave her a brief overview of the situation.
Bryan had arrived in Linder Land with a plan to take the place of one of Coen’s bodyguards. But Coen had been cautious. Just before he set off, Coen declared that he would only bring two bodyguards who had been with him for years.
To ensure Eileen’s safety, Bryan hadn’t hesitated—he grabbed onto the landing gear when the helicopter took off.
As Bryan was lifted off the ground, Coen had whistled and remarked, “I should have persuaded you to be on my side last time. What a pity!”
Suspended several kilometers high by the helicopter, Bryan had clung on with all his strength. The wind had whipped his face, making it painful. The thin air made it hard for Bryan to breathe, gradually sapping his strength.
He had used all his energy just to hold on, leaving him with no strength for anything else.
But thinking of Eileen and Gabriela filled his eyes with resolve.
Struggling, he managed to get the bomb out and attach it to the landing gear.
Noticing what Bryan was doing, Coen’s face darkened. “Bryan, are you out of your mind?”
Bryan didn’t respond. He focused on attaching the bomb quickly, ignoring the pistol Coen had aimed at him.
Once everything was set, he let go of the landing gear. The wind caught him, lifting him high before he began to fall.
The helicopter exploded in a shower of sparks, and Bryan watched it happen.
He meant everything to Eileen, but against the massive explosion, his figure shrank to a speck before vanishing into the sea.
Eileen turned pale as she heard the details.
Josue looked at her, gritted his teeth, and said, “He fell into the sea, and we never found his body.”
His body was never found?
That night, Bryan had been unusually clingy. Eileen had thought it was because they hadn’t been apart since getting back together.
But Bryan had been planning to risk his life to ensure a safe future for her and their daughter.
Tears welled up in Eileen’s eyes, and she found it hard to breathe.
It felt as though she could smell Bryan’s blood with every breath.
Seeing her silence, Josue wanted to comfort her but didn’t know what to say.
It was all his fault.
If only he had noticed the problem sooner and not been tricked, things might not have ended like this.
He started, “Eileen…”
“Find him,” Eileen said, her voice so soft that Josue thought he might have misheard.
“What did you say?” Josue asked.
