Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1738

The wind howled, its gusts threatening to blow everyone away.

Even though Vicky wore a raincoat, the cold raindrops pelted her face and caused intense discomfort.

Vicky bravely climbed down the ladder.

She knew she did not possess exceptional skills, and even a second's delay could make her a burden to others.

As the rain intensified, the rope ladder swung in the raging wind.

Beneath her feet lay the pitch-black, chilling seawater. It was difficult to imagine that the once tranquil, beautiful sea could become so terrifying in moments like these.

Gunshots echoed in the air, but Vicky did not look up. She tried to ignore the seawater below her and focused all her attention on climbing.

Falling into the ocean meant being instantly swept away by the waves. With the fierce wind blowing, the torrential rain hampered Vicky's progress.

She used every ounce of strength to cling to the rope ladder. Despite her utmost concentration, there were moments when her feet slipped, nearly causing her to fall.

Bang, bang, bang!

She heard several gunshots coming from the direction of the speedboat. She did not have to look up to know that Tyler was in danger.

Vicky gritted her teeth, determined not to let herself be affected.

She lost all sense of time. After what felt like an eternity, Vicky finally reached the side of the speedboat with painstakingly slow progress.

There was no time to check Jade's injuries at this point. Vicky had to move her to a safer spot on the speedboat to prevent her from being washed away by the waves.

With Vicky safe, Harry immediately signaled to Tyler.

However, Tyler did not choose to flee immediately and still had his gun trained on the steadily incoming foes.

He knew very well that if he did not deal with them, allowing them to continue shooting at the speedboat would put Vicky's life in danger.

The rain was too heavy, and the lighting on the boat was dim, making it difficult to discern what was happening on board.

Vicky clenched her fists tightly. Her nails dug into her palms, but she was unaware of it.
