Chapter 773 – The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

A tree had fallen at the spot where Grace stood earlier.

Grace was instantly terrified. If she had not been pulled aside, the tree would have fallen on Mason and her.

“Are you okay? Can you get up?” The voice rang out again.

Grace shuddered. ‘This voice…’ She looked up at the person and saw Brian’s delicate face.

However, Brian’s face was covered with dust and dirt at this moment, making him look like a mess.

“What are you doing here?” Grace asked in surprise.

Brian said, “It’s a long story. I’ll tell you about it later. Let’s get out of this place first!”

Grace staggered to her feet as she held Mason in her arms. Brian said, “Let me hold the child. It’ll make running down the hill quicker.”

Grace hesitated a little before saying, “Thank you… then.”

After all, Brian was right. Men had a natural advantage when it came to strength. It was easier for him to carry Mason and they could speed up their descent as well.

The most important thing now was to get down the hill!

Brian took Mason from Grace and ran down the hill. There were occasional explosions on the rugged hill roads.

“Lily probably didn’t plant too many explosives. It should all be over now,” said Brian.

Just then, another explosion fang out not far away from them Rocks and trees instantly crumbled and burst.

Brian almost instinctively defended Mason and blocked Grace at the same time.

A muffled grunt rang in Grace’s ear.

“Are you okay? Are you hurt?” Grace asked anxiously.

Brian’s face paled a little before saying with a faint smile, “I’m fine. Let’s get down the hill first!”

However, his expression changed as soon as he got up. The ground beneath him was sinking…

The explosion earlier had caused the ground to collapse!

Brian threw Mason into Grace’s arms and pushed Grace to safety.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, Brian found himself falling. ‘Am I… going to die in a place like this? I never thought I’d die this way.

‘But… if I manage to save Grace, then a death like this doesn’t seem too bad!’

When she fell into the sea, all he had felt was regret for not being there for her and not saving her.

This time, as if to make up for his regret, God had let him appear here by coincidence.

Brian slowly closed his eyes and waited for death.

However, a strong grip on his wrist stopped him from falling.

‘This feeling…’ Brian instantly opened his eyes only to see five thin fingers gripping his wrist.

It was… Grace hand!

However, he was too heavy. There was no way for her to pull him up with her strength alone.

“Bri Brian, hurry… Hurry and grab my hand. My fingers… don’t have much strength and I can’t hold on for long,” Grace said with difficulty.

Due to her old and new injuries over the years, her fingers were akin to deadwood. Brian could tell he was a heavy burden to her hand when she tried to pull his falling body.

Brian looked blankly at the face that was contorted from the pain.

He had learned from Dr. Russell how seriously injured her hands were. Dr. Russell even said that she had better not lift any heavy objects before her hands recovered. However, her hand was now bearing the weight of his body.

Brian said, “Grace, enough! Let go, or the place you’re standing now will collapse too! Aren’t you here to save your son? Then take your son and get down the hill immediately!”

Grace shouted, “I can’t do that! Grab… Grab onto me! Hang in there. Jay will come and save us. Just hold on till Jay gets here. Hold on a little longer!”

However, Brian still did not grab Grace’s hand. “Do you really believe Jason will come? The explosions aren’t done yet.”

“Yes, Jay… will be here,” she said without the slightest hesitation.

Brian laughed bitterly. “The old Jason would have come, but he forgot you before this, didn’t he? Would he take such a risk now?”

“One can recall even forgotten memories. Although… Jay forgot me, he’s recalling our past little by little… Brian, I… I’m losing my grip. Hurry… Hurry…”

Grace’s voice became more and more strained. Seeing that Brian had no intention of grabbing her wrist, she glanced at Mason out of the corners of her eyes. He was still unconscious. She gritted her teeth and stretched out her other hand, holding Brian’s hand with both hands!

However, this pushed her body further toward the sunken ground. If there was another explosion, she would fall as well.

Brian watched what Grace was doing in shock. “Do you know what you’re doing?”

“Yes,” she said as a thick layer of sweat covered her forehead. “Brian, you saved me before. I have no reason not to save you… If… If I let go now, I… I can never forgive myself…”

Sweat trickled down her cheeks and onto his face.

It was just like… how she had pulled his hand back then. Even though it was difficult, she insisted on pulling him up.

She had not changed after all these years!

When Jason rushed up the hill with his men, he saw Grace desperately gripping Brian’s hand with half of her body tilting toward the chasm. She might fall at any time.

He instantly felt a pain in his chest.

However, without much thought, he rushed forward. He tightly wrapped one arm around Grace’s waist while he used the other to grab Brian’s wrist.

“Jay!” exclaimed Grace, her voice full of joy and relief.

She was rea**ured by his presence.

Jason’s men also rushed forward and dragged Brian up.

Among them was a small figure.

Mick Reed rushed over to the unconscious Mason and picked him up with his small body. “Mommy, why is Lil Bro still asleep? Is he unconscious because he’s injured?”

The little one saw the bruises on Mason’s face.

Grace was shocked after seeing her eldest son. “Mick, what are you doing here?”

“I came to find you and Lil Bro!” the little one said in all seriousness.

“But it’s too dangerous here! Grace panicked. The place could explode again at any time. Although she was not afraid of putting hercest in danger, she was worried about the safety of her children She said to lason, “How could you let him come up with you?”
