The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165 The Rescue

“Ray–Ray, where are you? If you’re

still alive, say something!”

Finished

An indeterminate amount of time had passed, when Raylee, in her drowsy state, was awakened by a commotion.

With great effort, she lifted her gaze, only for her eyes to be stung by the sunlight streaming in through the entrance.

Ray–Ray

It seemed as though she heard someone calling out to her, and the voice bore a striking resemblance to Casimir’s.

I must be dreaming. Casimir did not come with me to Musmeynia. By now, he should be basking in the sweet, loving embrace of Waverly.

“Ray–Ray, can you hear me? I beg you, say something, please…..”

The voice is clear and familiar!

IND

Raylee was left stunned when she realized she was not dreaming.

No, no, no, I must be hallucinating. How could Casimir possibly appear in such a desolate place?

She would rather believe that she was losing her mind than accept the truth.

However, reality once again shattered her doubts.

A towering figure barged into the narrow entrance of the cave.

His familiar and handsome face was filled with anxiety. His dark eyes searched everywhere, as if he had lost a beloved

treasure.

Raylee stared in astonishment at the man blocking the entrance, her eyes filled with shock.

It’s Casimir. It really is him…..

“Ray–Ray, there you are. I’ve finally found you!”

Casimir was filled with elation. He strode into the cave, his tall figure bending slightly. Without a moment’s hesitation, he scooped up the stunned Raylee and carried her out of the cave.

Raylee stared blankly at the man holding her. Even at that moment, she couldn’t believe it was real

It wasn’t until she left the cave that she was certain that she wasn’t delusional, nor was it a dream. It was Casimir who had truly

come to her rescue

“Casamir!” She collapsed into his arms and began to cry out loud

The crushing despair that she felt when Casimir leaped into the river to his death the terror of being pursued relentlessly had kept her on edge the entire time. At that moment, her tightly wound nerves completely unraveled.

She cried uncontrollably, her tears soaking through Casimir’s shirt.

Upon seeing Raylee covered in blood and her face marred by injuries, Casimir knew she must have suffered greatly. He was instantly beside himself in distress and sympathy.

While gently patting her back, Casimir softly comforted her, “Go on and let it all out. It was my fault. I arrived too late. I’m sorry for letting you suller…”

“Jeremiah is dead,” she sobbed. “He was shot and then he jumped into the river. He must be dead, oh…”

Kaylee was shaking all over as she cried, and the mere mention of Jeremiah was enough to agitate her greatly, almost causing

her to faint.

Surrounded by his bodyguards, Casimir carried her all the way as they emerged from the dense forest.

Chapter 165 The Rescue

Finished

Once she was sure she was safe, she made her way to the spot where Jeremiah had jumped into the river, gazing intently at its surface.

By this time, the river had regained its tranquility. The water was still as murky as ever, yet there was no trace of crimson to

be seen.

Only the copious amount of bloodstains lingering in the grass by the shore served as proof that she and Jeremiah had been there the previous night.

“Ray–Ray, I’ve contacted the local search and rescue team to see if we can retrieve Jeremiah’s body. We can give him a proper burial at least… You should eat something. At this rate, your health will suffer,” Casimir said with a sigh..

Raylee shook her head, watching as Casimir prepared food for her. Despite being so hungry that she had no energy. she had no appetite at all.
