CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 771

Just as the middle-aged man seemed ready to spill the truth, another massive wave crashed against the ship.

Unprepared, he was thrown hard against the glass panel nearby.

The impact was severe, and blood immediately spilled from his mouth.

Seeing this, Suzy pushed everything else aside and rushed to regain control of the ship.

Once again, with sheer willpower, she managed to steer them out of immediate danger.

When the crisis subsided, Suzy hurried back to the man’s side and crouched down to check his condition.

Relief washed over her as she confirmed he was still breathing.

She had been terrified he might die before revealing the critical information she needed.

She quickly retrieved a life-saving pill and helped him swallow it. "How are you feeling?"

The man weakly opened his eyes, struggling to focus on her. "I’m sorry… I don’t think I can…"

"Stop wasting time with apologies!" Suzy snapped, her tone urgent.

"Just tell me what you were about to say. Who’s the inner circle member?"

The man took a deep, labored breath. "The key figure is… is… is…"

"Who is it?!" Suzy pressed, her voice edged with desperation. "Don’t rush, just take your time and say it!"

His shallow, gasping breaths made Suzy anxious. If he died before speaking, all her efforts would have been in vain.

"The name is… someone with the surname…"

Before he could finish, his body went still, his head lolling to the side.

"Hey! Wake up!" Suzy shouted, her brow furrowing deeply. "You can’t just die without finishing what you started! If you’re going to die, at least finish your damn sentence first!"

Grabbing a medical stimulator from her kit, Suzy quickly began applying pressure to key points, hoping to trigger a brief revival.

After the third attempt with the stimulator, the man’s tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open.

It felt as if the universe was mocking her.

She’d been so close.

Just five more seconds, and she could have learned the truth.

But the man was gone now, and no amount of anger would bring him back.

Setting her frustration aside, Suzy knew the most urgent task was to get the ship to shore and get Diana to safety.

Though the wind and waves were still fierce, they had calmed significantly compared to earlier. The worst had passed, and for the first time, Suzy felt a glimmer of hope.

Focusing on the task at hand, she gripped the controls and steered the ship toward the shore.

Cutting through the wind and waves, she finally managed to bring the vessel safely to land. Wasting no time, she slung Diana onto her back and hurried off the ship.

"Diana, I’m taking you home," Suzy whispered, her voice soft but filled with resolve.

This harrowing journey had been filled with danger, but Suzy had kept her promise to bring Diana back alive.
