When a bullet pierced Midna's wrist, her wrist immediately began to bleed.
She was perplexed, and she wasn't expecting this change at all! She clutched the blood on her wrist, her facial expressions radically changing, and she turned to face the other side of the river.
The second shot rang out sharply at this precise instant, striking her upper arm with precision!
"Ah!" Midna abruptly shouted in agony and unconsciously knelt to grab the gun.
However, Jean shot twice more. Two consecutive shots struck her legs!
Midna was hit one after the other, unable to hang on, and thumped to the ground, her face contorted by pain.
The abrupt change surprised Neera, and she instinctively wanted to get away. She shifted, and then she stopped!
After enduring the agony and shock, she hurried over, grabbed up the pistol that Midna had fallen on, and hurled it forcefully into the sea.
A slight splash was made in the water when the rifle fell into it.
Jean, on the other hand, understood something after witnessing it, and the expression on his menacing and murderous face loosened.
Neera appeared to still be alive!
He initially thought Neera was gone when he heard the gunfire just now.
Thankfully, Neera was okay!
The moment he started to unwind, he noticed that he had perspired heavily.
He'd never had such deep-seated worry or apprehension about losing Neera in his life. This was the first time.
He aimed the gun at Cloud, eager to get across the river and to Neera's side as soon as possible. He eventually made his way to the big stone a few minutes later.
He was terrified and remorseful for not protecting Neera when he saw her curled up and hiding to the side, her face pallid and her arms covered in blood.
His eyes instantly took on a fierce, deadly intent. He wanted to destroy everything!
If he could, he would kill the guy who wounded her right away.
But Jean refrained. He feared frightening Neera.
After finally controlling his rage, he knelt and said, "Neera, I'm here."
Neera remained for a while after hearing this voice, as if she couldn't believe it. She cautiously raised her head after a little period of astonished silence, her face still expressing shock mixed with hope.
"Are you here, Jean? What brought you here?"
She realized her voice was shaking as soon as she started speaking. Her voice was filled with fear and grievances.
Jean's heart appeared to be clenched tightly by a large hand. He felt distressed and almost suffocated.
"It's me. I'm sorry for being late but don't worry, I'm here," he squatted down and hugged her as he talked.
When Neera came into contact with the familiar embrace, all of her emotions were released. Tears streamed down her cheeks.
She sobbed softly as she held his garments in her two hands and said, "I thought...I would never see you and the kids again."
She was trembling terribly and gasping for air. Jean tightly hugged her, treating her as a long-lost treasure that had just been discovered.
Only God knew how terrified he was of losing her. Thankfully, she was fine! He would truly go wild if something happened to her!
To calm her down, Jean repeatedly stroked her back while also smoothing her breath.
"It's okay, it's okay; don't worry; I won't let go of those who have hurt you; you don't need to be afraid," said Jean.
Neera couldn't hold back her tears.
After some time, the area in front of her seemed to suddenly turn dark, and she felt lightheaded. She lost consciousness in the following instant.
When Jean heard her sobbing abruptly stop, he became afraid.
"Neera! Neera!" he shouted.
He yelled her name aloud as he was terrified.
By this point, Storm and Cloud had already crossed the river.
Storm, upon observing this, stated, "Sir, Mrs. Beauvort should have been injured, bleeding, frightened, and tired, so she fainted temporarily, so let's send her back first."
Without saying a word, Jean's lips clenched, and he snatched her up before turning and walking away. Storms and clouds were right behind.
Midna was close to passing out at this point and was already in pain.
Even though she sensed someone by her side, she couldn't move.
"It's too bad I can't get rid of Neera right away!"
Gritting her teeth and uttering those words, Cloud was violently grabbed up and led towards them.
