Jasper Bollock calmly explained, "Just now, Lucy Bailey became too emotional. If I hadn't fired the shot, your friend would definitely have died by her hand. Don't worry; I didn't injure her. She just fainted from fright, and someone has already gone under the sea for the search and rescue."
"Derei isn't dead?" Amanda Jenkins exclaimed with surprise.
Finally seeing a glimmer of hope, she swiftly headed towards the docks, but suddenly stumbled. Lucas Griffin steadied her with a firm grip.
Regaining her balance awkwardly, she nevertheless shook off Lucas Griffin's hand forcefully. "Leave me alone!"

Amanda fainted and her body went limp.
Lucas quickly wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her in a bridal carry.
