When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1264

Relief flooded Miley as her muscles surrendered, and she sank to her knees.

The captain of the rescue team, Kurt Bernard, emerged from the ladder.

He grabbed Miley’s arm, his voice firm but gentle.

“Can you hold on?”

Miley managed a weak smile.

“I’m fine, but my friend is unconscious.

Please, save him.

The words drained the last of her strength.

Her vision blurred, and darkness swallowed her whole.

Kurt’s eyes narrowed.

“Go with the team and rescue Mr.

Pierce,” he commanded.

He knelt beside Miley, his brow furrowed in concern.

Her condition was bad, a testament to her ordeal.

This woman wasn’t simple, he mused.

Following the rescue, Kurt arranged for both Neville and Miley to be taken to the hospital.

He then contacted Matthew to update him on the situation.

Upon hearing the news, Matthew wasted no time in grabbing Stella and heading to the hospital.

In the car, Stella sat with her arms crossed, a furrow carved into her brow.

Regret gnawed at her.

“If I’d paid more attention to Roy’s warning signs, Miley wouldn’t be in this mess.

”

Matthew offered a quick glance before speaking, his voice flat.

“Roy’s been dealt with.

He’s a habitual offender, preying on female tourists seeking solo adventures.

We retrieved the ten million transferred to his account, but…”

Stella pressed, “But what?”

Matthew’s voice deepened.

“The Blakely family is adamant about calling off the engagement in light of this incident.

”

Surprise flickered across Stella’s face as she lowered her head.

A muttered curse escaped her lips.

“He deserves it.

”

If not for Neville, Miley wouldn’t be paying the price.

She had no sympathy for him.

Matthew attempted a change of subject.

“Once we get to the hospital, focus on comforting Miley.

”

Stella looked up, her expression softening.

“Miley’s my best friend.

Of course I will.

I need to get Flossie back here too.

”

But mentioning Flossie immediately caused her to frown, “It’s been a month with no news.

I’m truly worried about her.

”
