How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 124

"Yes, sir!"

The bodyguards fanned out in all directions, racing toward where Blanche had disappeared.

She hadn't gotten far before a fierce wind howled overhead—a helicopter dropped from the sky, its searchlight locking onto her in an instant.

"There she is! We found the missus!" one of the bodyguards shouted.

A figure leapt from the helicopter, landing hard beside her. Strong arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her close. With no time to react, she was swept upward, clinging to her rescuer as the helicopter soared into the night.

A strangled scream caught in her throat, but no sound came out—her fever had left her voice raw and useless, her throat burning worse with every breath.

The helicopter angled toward Eddy's direction.

Blanche struggled, every muscle resisting. Helplessness pressed in on her, but when she glanced down, she saw Eddy below—his eyes wide with desperate longing, arms open as if he could catch her from the sky. The look on his face, so tender and eager, appeared monstrous in her eyes—like a nightmare come to life.

No!

She screamed it silently, her whole body recoiling.

The moment Eddy's hand brushed her fingertips, the helicopter suddenly shot upward. The swirling downdraft forced everyone below to back away in shock.

"Blanche!"

"Ma'am!"

Shouts erupted from below, panic and disbelief rising up to meet her.

She turned, startled, and found herself staring into Fernando's calm, reassuring gaze.

She almost laughed through her tears. "Fernando?"

"Hold on tight," Fernando said, his midnight eyes shining with determination. His arms tightened protectively around her, as if he feared she might slip away again.

Blanche wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her face into his shoulder. Warm tears soaked through his shirt as she whispered, voice barely a breath, "Thank you for coming for me, Fernando."

In that moment, Fernando felt as if he held the whole world in his arms. His heart hammered uncontrollably, overwhelmed by emotion.

The helicopter vanished into the distance, the entire scene broadcast live across the city.
