Chapter 1247
Damon yave her a deep look before finally hoisting her up into the helicopter.
“Yasmine”
“Boyd.” Yasmine’s voice was chilled, devoid of warmth. “If you still want to hurt people, you’ll have to take me down first.”
Boyd’s eyes shook, dark and deep. He looked stunned, dropping the gun in his hands.
“I wouldn’t shoot you, Yasmine…”
“Don’t call me,” Yasmine said coldly. “I might not be able to move, but my mind is clear. I know better than anyone whether you would shoot me.”
Boyd’s tall figure swayed, standing still as the wind from the helicopter’s takeoff stung his eyes. Yet, he still looked up, watching as Damon lifted Yasmine onto the helicopter.
The wind whipped at his dark coat, his hand tightly gripping the gun, but he didn’t move.
Damon glanced at the man standing below. His figure was tall and slender, emanating the steady and grand air of a long–time leader. But now, he looked like an abandoned child, alone and helpless, watching as the most important person in his life left him.
Damon was puzzled. The relationship between Yasmine and Boyd didn’t seem as straightforward as a rescuer and a rescuee. They had spent years together, but the differences between them weren’t just recent. They might have known each other for a long time.
Nate also climbed into the helicopter. When the gunfire started, he shielded Damon and was shot twice.
The helicopter door closed, and the smell of blood filled the air. Damon frowned. “Are you okay?”
Nate replied with surprise, “I’m fine! Sir, I’m sorry that you…”
“I’m fine.”
Yasmine sat to the side, her gaze sweeping over the two men. “Find somewhere to treat the wounds.”
“Yes, sir, the bullet in your body needs…”
“No need,” Damon declined quietly, glancing at his watch. His expression grew even grimmer. “We’re running out of time.”
Nate’s heart pounded. Yes, time was…
Yasmine turned to look at Damon. He was handsome and tall, with a noble air. Even with a bullet lodged in his body, his expression remained composed. She gave a slight smile, as she was content with the man before her.
“How did you and Chloe start?”
“It was a lucky encounter. I was smitten at first sight.”
Yasmine gave a faint smile. “Love at first sight?” Her gaze traveled past Damon and out the window at the man still standing below. Her lips curled up in a sarcastic smile. “Decades–long feelings aren’t always reliable, let alone love at first sight…”
Damon frowned slightly. “We can’t generalize. Just because some people have failed in love, does that mean we will too?”
Yasmine raised an eyebrow, tilting her head to look at him. “So you’re so sure, just based on love at first sight? Where does this confidence come from?”
Damon gave a small smile. “It seems you don’t quite understand how amazing your daughter is.”
Yasmine’s sarcastic smile froze. She stared at Damon for a few seconds, then finally burst out laughing.
“Really? I think my daughter has the potential to be a heartbreaker.”
The man behind them, Nate, who had been shot twice, wanted to say, “She definitely is a heartbreaker. She’s got Damon completely smitten!”
Damon didn’t deny it. “Hmm.”
Yasmine looked surprised, then finally broke into a pleased smile. “Good. Seeing you head over heels for my daughter is very satisfying”
Damon glanced at her but didn’t say anything. Chloe’s mother was a bit different from what he had imagined.
After flying for over an hour, the helicopter finally landed on another island. There was a private plane waiting for them. However, the moment they disembarked they were immediately surrounded by a group of people.
Damon narrowed his eyes, his icy gaze falling on the man who stepped out casually from behind the crowd.
“I gave you the intel, not for you to storm the Presidential Palace and kidnap people, Mr. Harper.” The tall man stood in front of Damon, his hands in his coat pockets, and his eyes on Yasmine in Damon’s arms.
“Your body has just started to recover. It’s not good for you to strain yourself.”
Herschel’s steady voice betrayed no emotion, his eyes unreadable.
Yasmine glanced at Herschel and quickly looked away, coolly saying, “I know my own body.”
Herschel was silent for a while. “You can’t leave.”
Yasmine frowned.
Herschel continued, “If you want to see your daughter, I can bring her here.”
“What if I insist on going back?”
Herschel looked at her calmly. “Doing that would break your father’s heart.”
Yasmine laughed. “He would be thrilled if I died. Should I just walk right into his hands to make him happy?”
Herschel frowned. “He wouldn’t.”
Yasmine didn’t want to argue further, her cold gaze falling on the man who bore a slight resemblance to Boyd. “I’ve made it clear. I’m leaving. Step aside.”

Herschel didn’t respond, but his silence was enough.
“Are we done here?” Damon, who had been quietly observing the situation, suddenly spoke up coldly.
“Is that all the patience you have?” Yasmine retorted casually.
Damon looked at her, his tone indifferent.
“If you weren’t Chloe’s mother, I wouldn’t even give you a second.”
His attitude toward women was utterly ungentlemanly. She wondered if Chloe was having a hard time with him.
Nate was nervous on the sidelines. Damon still had a gunshot wound! He might’ve looked fine, but that didn’t mean he was!
That was a gunshot wound, and the bullet was still inside him! What he was enduring right now?
Nate had been shot twice now, feeling like he’d lost all his strength.
Damon just picked up his feet and started walking.
A few guys behind Herschel immediately raised their guns, aiming at Damon with caution, ready to fire at any moment…
In P City, right at six in the evening.
Katie glanced at the time, her expression gradually getting tense. Rose had been sticking with Chloe, initially trying to chat with her to distract her, but after nearly eight hours, she had no clue what else to chitchat about.
The break room was dead quiet right now.
