Hubert was going to face severe consequences.
Loraine, however, rejected his proposal with a cold, piercing gaze.
I appreciate your concern, but dont forget that Im not some delicate lady. Rowan trained me personally. Im far more capable than you think!
Hearing this, Marco recalled Loraines poise and courage during the hijack.
His heart tightened, a pang of jealousy taking hold. He hadnt realized that it was Rowan who had taught Loraine those skills.
With jealousy seeping through his words, Marco inquired, So, the guy you mentioned on the plane who taught you was actually Rowan?
Without hesitation, Loraine nodded. Yes.
Noticing Marcos sullen expression, she couldnt help but think he had been acting strangely all day. However, she dismissed her thoughts and said to Hubert, Regardless, I must take part in this rescue mission. I promise I wont be a burden.
At that moment, Marcos jealousy flared. Why did Rowan matter so much to Loraine? How could that man warrant Loraine risking her life to save him?
Frustration and anxiety consumed Marco as he asked, Loraine, dont you fear death?
Loraine replied with conviction, As Long as Rowan is safe, Im willing to do anything, even if it costs my life!

If youre worried about your safety, you can leave the plane anytime.

Marco off first?
After a moment of contemplation, Hubert nodded.
Certainly.
Marco clenched his teeth, speechless.
He realized he couldnt change Loraines mind, but the thought of her in danger terrified him. Finally, he forced himself to say, Ill go with you.
Are you serious? Loraine asked in surprise.
Marco nodded, his face clouded by tension.
An unexpected sense of relief washed over Loraine.
