Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1961

Chapter 1961 Hanging By A Thread

As the men continued their search, they quickly captured the attention of the island’s inhabitants. In the dead of night, no one noticed the ocean surface turning faint red, as though being tainted.

In the meantime, Lana was on a search for Matteo as well. Ever since Theo succeeded on the mission, she had already been on the lookout for him.

To her dismay, she had not expected Hugo’s security to be so advanced. Even though her team was still fifty kilometers away from shore, the seawater there was also detected by the island’s laser beams. “That old son of a-”

Lana scolded in frustration. She grabbed the nearest communication device and attempted to contact Matteo once again.

“Matteo? Matteo? Do you copy?” There was no answer. The only thing that greeted her was dead silence.

Lana paled at the lack of response. Scanning the pitch black waters in front of her, a shiver ran down her spine. After a brief pause, Lana ordered her team behind her, “Bring me my diving suit.”

“Captain Warlow?” The police officers following behind her were startled.

They were still a long way from the island. Not to mention that laser systems were defending the waters. If Lana were to dive into the sea, even though she might be able to maintain a safe depth, there would still be a huge risk of her triggering the security system. If that were to happen, her body would be one with the ocean, carried away by the tides.

Naturally, everyone disagreed with her plan.

Enraged by their unresponsiveness, Lana threw the communication device onto the ground with a clatter before turning to take her diving gears herself.

Just then, something caught the attention of one of the officers. He noticed some movement on the island through the binoculars.

“Captain Warlow, look! I think there’s someone there!” Without a word, Lana immediately went over to take a look.

There really were people on the shore. When Lana took hold of the binoculars, she could see the silhouette of a person dragging another person out of the water on the shallow end of fast west of the island. The outlines of the two people were partly shielded by the multiple boulders on the shore.

Could it be…?

Lana’s heart skipped a beat.

Needless to say, it was Theo.

But who was the one who saved him?

Not even in a million years would it cross one’s mind that it was Rosalie who saved Theo. When everyone on the island was keeping a lookout for Theo, only Rosalie figured out Theo’s most likely hiding spot. She deduced that Theo would be hiding in the same place where he had to kill his companions during the training camp, the place where he emerged as the sole survivor.

It was a secluded space surrounded by steep stone walls.

Back then, Hugo had specially chosen that place to test Theo’s skills.

Rosalie was not stupid. It took her almost no time at all to figure out where Theo could be hiding.

After all, with the island on complete lockdown, if the man had not escaped the island, that would be the only place he would hide in.

Thud!

With all her might, Rosalie dragged Theo into the basement and dropped him onto the ground. The moment his body hit the ground, Rosalie noticed the pool of blood gushing out of his abdomen.

In no time at all, his black shirt was drenched in red.

Rosalie stared at the motionless body in front of her wordlessly.

Although she wanted to rip the man into shreds, Rosalie tore the edge of her dress and wrapped the fabric on the wound as a makeshift bandage.

Roughly twenty minutes later, she took out the medications she had taken from her room and applied them to the injuries of the unconscious person on the ground.
