Janice's voice trembled as she spoke. Her bright eyes shimmered with tears, showing a mix of stubbornness and silent pleading.
It was all or nothing now. She had no other options.
Wade's expression darkened. He pressed his lips together, staring at her. His face showed a mix of surprise and disbelief.
Janice drew a deep breath and brushed her eyes with the back of her hand. Lives were on the line. She couldn't waste another second.
"Wade, I'm not joking. I've never been more serious. Please, I'm begging you."
Giving up on Wade had never been easy for her.
But at this moment, Ariel's life hung in the balance. Signal zones were unreliable, and contacting her was nearly impossible.
Sudden crises were common in Bellador, but Janice couldn't take the risk. Right now, the only way to get into that area was from above.
"Wade, I've never begged you to do anything for me. Can't I just trade the engagement for this one thing?"
Janice wasn't naive. She had only been convincing herself before.
His indifference and lack of love were brutally obvious. He hadn't even noticed that she was hurt. How could she wish for anything else?
Wade studied her reddened, desperate eyes for a long time in silence.
Bradley, behind him, couldn't hold back. "Wade, this might…"
"Wait here," Wade said abruptly, his tone cold. He glanced at Janice one last time, then turned and walked away.
He said nothing more.
Janice froze.
Bradley's face turned pale. Wade was actually going?
Janice rushed after him.
Wade was already striding toward the tarmac.
Her heart pounded wildly. Relief and joy surged through her, but a dull, stabbing pain she couldn't control made her breath come in heavy gasps. Tears streamed down her face.
