Love’s Mark - Chapter 18

Following the beam of his flashlight, I saw a derelict vehicle sunken on the seabed.

Its body was entangled with seaweed; the immense pressure had shattered the windows, turning the interior into a fish haven.

And there, in that moment, I saw myself— nothing but a skeleton.

Shane quickly swam over, stunned, as if in disbelief..

He quickly unbuckled the skeleton’s seatbelt, then carefully removed the clinging seaweed.

When he saw the diamond ring on the skeleton’s finger, Shane choked out, “Holly…”

How ironic, that ring, the one he’d given me when he proposed, was now our final reunion.

The low oxygen warning beeped.

I started to panic, frantically urging him to leave, but clearly, Shane, running low on oxygen, couldn’t manage it.

He gently scooped the skeleton into his arms, continuing to murmur, “Holly, I’m sorry, I kept you waiting.”

Li Hao pulled Shane out of the water.

Even unconscious when he was brought ashore, he still held my remains tightly.

Shane was unconscious for two days and two nights.

The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was look for my skeleton.

Luckily, Li Hao told him, “Mr. Shen, I’ve taken care of Ms. Su’s remains. Don’t worry, without your instructions, no one can touch them.”

Shane nodded, his face ashen, “Continue with what I asked you to do.” Li Hao left.

I propped my chin in my hands, floating before him, muttering.

“Shane, Shane, Xu Mei’s the murderer; how could you not suspect her?” Shane, who had been lying down, seemed to think of something.

He slowly got up from the bed and walked to the door of the ward.

There weren’t many people on this floor of the VIP ward.

As soon as he went out, he heard Xu Mei on the phone.

“If he finds out, we’re both done!”

“Everyone involved with that woman back then, get rid of them.” I knew Xu Mei’s good days were over.

The next second, Shane approached Xu Mei with bloodshot eyes, looking like he wanted to eat her alive.

Seeing Shane like this, and remembering the phone call, Xu Mei seemed scared too.

She timidly called out, “Ahui?”
