Bang! Without hesitation, Marie fired the gun and hit one of the men in the shoulder. 

Due to her lack of precise aim and exhaustion, she missed the target slightly, but it was still enough to cause 

the man to stumble and fall to the ground. 

However, the other person reacted quickly and immediately fired at the entrance of the cave. Marie felt that 

the bullet almost grazed her face and flew past. If she hadn’t retreated quickly after shooting, her head would have been pierced. 

Marie was about to rush straight in. Otherwise, if the man walked further inside and adapted to the darkness 

of the cave, he would definitely see Dennis at first sight. 

She crouched low, feeling her way along the wall, and suddenly pounced on the man, wanting to end him with 

a knife. However, Marie was too weak, and her strength was insignificant compared to this well-fed man. 

The man grabbed her shoulder and threw Marie to the ground with a suplex. Marie curled up in pain, feeling 

that her internal organs were about to be shattered. 

The man grabbed her neck angrily. After seeing Marie’s face clearly, he stepped on her and pulled out a gun 

with one hand. Before he could shoot, Dennis in the corner suddenly jumped out and pushed the man to the 

ground. 

Dennis’s eyes were red. He had a high fever, and his wound was infected. This was already his last bit of physical strength. The man was only stunned for a moment by his pounce, and then immediately pressed 

Dennis back to the ground. 

Marie found the gun and shot the man in the back. He swayed and fell to the ground. Marie dragged the man away and was dumbfounded when she saw Dennis. 

Dennis had a sharp dagger in his abdomen. Under the light outside the cave, it reflected bright light, dazzling. 

Marie lunged over, her hands trembling. She was completely bewildered and didn’t know what to do at this moment. She didn’t even know whether she should pull out the knife or do something else. 

She could only cover Dennis’ abdomen in vain. Warm blood spilled from between her fingers, like Dennis’s life that was rapidly losing. No matter how anxious Marie was, she couldn’t stop this from happening. 

With a trembling voice, Marie said, “It’s okay… it’s okay… Dennis, it’s okay… I’ll take you out… it’s okay…” 

She knew it was futile because she had walked in a day with Dennis on her back. If she had carried Dennis on her back for another day, Dennis would have died of excessive blood loss before she could walk out. 

She shook her head and tried to think of another way, but there was no other way to stop the bleeding wound 

in Dennis’s abdomen in this damn place. 

Dennis closed his eyes as if he took a lot of effort before he opened them. He looked at Marie and said, “You 

need to go, Marie.” 

Marie shook her head, tears streaming down her face like a broken string of beads. Wiping her face, blood, tears, and the dirt on her face, she was already looking ugly. She curled her lips like a wronged child and

sobbed, “I’m not leaving. I’m not leaving. I’m your fiancée. Where do you want me to go?” 

Dennis raised his hand, wiped her little face, and said, “You’re so capable that you can go anywhere as long 

as you’re alive.” 

Marie shook her head desperately, like a rattle, shaking her head and saying, “I don’t want it. Dennis, please, 

don’t drive me away. I’m not going anywhere…” 

“Marie, listen to me.” Dennis looked into her eyes and said gently. 

This damned man was obviously a decisive king and the person in charge of Whitney Group who made so 

many people tremble, but he always looked at her gently and made her listen. 

Marie wiped her tears and said, “I don’t want to! I won’t listen! Dennis, don’t you want to know who I am? I’m 

Rose! I’m responsible for everything’ Just hang in there, okay? Hang in there until we escape, and I’ll tell you 

everything!” 

Dennis smiled, his eyes a little misty. He closed his eyes and said, “I know.” 

Tears rolled down from Marie’s cheeks. Dennis claimed that he knew, but he knew nothing. He had no idea. 

that she was a freak who had died and come back to life. He had no clue about the immense effort she had 

put in to dare to be with him. He couldn’t just die like this. 

Marie pulled Dennis and said, “Dennis! You proposed to me! You can’t go back on your word! You can’t sleep!” 

Dennis’s eyes closed little by little, and Marie was completely panicked. She shouted, “Dennis, I love you!! love you! Please, don’t leave me! Please! Don’t sleep!’ 

But Dennis’s hand fell from her body, and his body seemed to weigh ten thousand pounds. Marie hugged the 

man and cried sadly, “No! No!” 

The sound of messy footsteps came from outside, but Marie couldn’t care less about anything. Whoever was 

approaching, she couldn’t bring herself to care. She wished she could just die right now and be done with it. 

When Emory and the others rushed into the cave, the scene that greeted them was exactly as described. Two 

men were lying on the ground, their fates unknown. 

With Dennis in Marie’s arms, both of them were covered in blood, and no one knew who was injured more 

seriously. 

Emory and Kate ran over and asked anxiously, “Are you okay, Marie?” 

When Marie saw the two of them, it was as if she saw a savior, and as if a child had found an adult. She 

grabbed Kate’s clothes and said incoherently, “Dennis! Save him! Save him!” 

Emory reached out and checked Dennis’ heartbeat and pulse, nodding to Kate, Indicating that he was still 

alive. 

Kate pulled her and said, “Listen to me, Marie. Let’s go first. Clayton’s men will arrive soon. They will save 

Dennis.” 

Marie shook her head, hugged Dennis tightly, and said, “I’m not leaving. I want to stay with him.” 

“Marie, if Clayton sees this, he’ll murder you. Listen to me!” Emory advised. 

Still shaking her head, Marie said, “I’m not leaving. I’m not going anywhere!” 

“Marie!” Kate called out to her. 

Looking at the two of them, Marie said, “You guys go ahead. I have to wait for Dennis to wake up, or I won’t be 

going anywhere.” 

Emory and Kate found themselves with no alternative but to assist Marie in carrying Dennis out of the cave. 

Once outside, they stood silently by her side, keeping a vigilant watch. 

They had informed Clayton of the exact location. Not long after, Clayton arrived with his men and saw
