Chapter 140
Pain and suffocation closed in as Jessica was dragged underwater. Jessica struggled nonstop.
It was useless. She could not swim. She did not know how much time passed, but her strength slowly drained away, and consciousness followed.
When she woke again, the world had turned black and white.
She sat on the ground and looked at the people around her. Every face was heavy with sorrow, and a surge of raw panic rose in
her chest.
Jessica turned her head and saw herself lying motionless on the ground, without the faintest sign of breath.
“ I … am dead p>
A deep chill ran through her.
Without warning, the figures around her began to fade. One by one, they vanished from her sight.
The world sank into darkness, without even a trace of light. Despair swallowed her whole. Terror seized her. Fear hollowed her
out.
She cried out, “Don’t go… Wah p>
It changed nothing.
In that state, moments stretched into years.
Jessica felt cold, despair, and agony. She shivered. She had never known suffering like this. Any nightmare she had imagined fell far short of what she felt now.
She sensed that she had not fully separated from her body. One thought remained clear in her mind. ‘Get up. Leave. Escape this place of darkness and despair p>
She was just about to rise, just about to break away completely, when a calm voice cut through the void. “Don’t move. Absolutely do not move p>
Jessica froze.
She slowly turned her head. A figure of light emerged from the darkness and moved quickly toward her.
It was Dominic.
He was the only light left in the world. Excitement flooded her, and her body trembled. “Dominic p>
“Don’t be afraid. You’ll be fine. ” He came to her side and spoke softly, resting his hands on her shoulders.
Jessica stared at him in disbelief. Dominic was bruised and battered, yet he looked impossibly handsome to her, like a god.
“ Listen. Lie down. Take a nap. You’ll be fine when you wake up. ” Dominic gently lowered her to the ground.
At his touch, her soul merged back into her body.
All of it happened in an instant,
Jessica had just been lifted from the ground when she saw Dominie rush forward, though she had no idea what he intended to
The middle – aged man exploded in anger. “What are you doing? ”

He had assumed Dominic was about to give first aid. Instead, the young man crouched beside Jessica and behaved in a way that looked bizarre, almost unhinged.
The sight infuriated him.
He raised his hand, and two men in black immediately seized Dominic and dragged him away.
At that moment, Jessica, who had shown no sign of breathing, suddenly coughed and expelled a large mouthful of water.
“Cough… cough… ugh p>
“Miss! You’re okay!” the middle–aged man shouted, overcome with joy.
Jessica coughed for a long time before she could breathe comfortably again. She lifted her head in a daze and saw Dominic being restrained by the bodyguards.
A fierce light flared in her eyes, and she growled, “You… let him go p>
The bodyguards flinched at her expression and released Dominic at once.
Jessica struggled to her feet and walked over to him.
Seeing her alive eased the tension in his chest. A life had been saved, after all.
He opened his mouth to speak, but Jessica did something no one expected. She rose onto her tiptoes, wrapped her arms around Dominic’s neck, and kissed him.
Caught off guard, Dominic felt the cool softness of her lips, and his heart jolted.
In the next second, he pushed her away. His face hardened as he snapped, “What are you doing p>
Jessica laughed with open mischief. “Hey, that was my first kiss. You have to take responsibility. When are you going to marry me? ”
“Miss? ” The middle–aged man and the bodyguards stared in shock.
“ You’re crazy! “Dominic cursed and turned and walked away.
Jessica watched his retreating figure, her eyes full of attachment and affection. She smiled softly. “I know you’re going to get divorced. Dominic, you’re mine… No, wait. I’m yours. Hehe. ”
