Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1220

Chapter 1220: Don’t let go.

The strong, harsh gust of wind almost threw Penny and Zoren off balance, if not for their position and where they stood. Despite the sudden wind inside the aircraft, Penny managed to peek. The moment she did, all she saw was the man lunging at Atlas from behind.

"Atlas!" she screamed, her eyes widening, her breath stopping completely.

Her piercing scream alerted Hugo right after the gust of wind almost pushed him to the floor. Even before seeing the situation, he knew something terrible had just happened. His heart pounded against his chest as an adrenaline rush surged throughout his body — something that hadn’t even happened during the fight earlier.

Clasping the nearest seat, Hugo forced his body to turn against the wind. As soon as he did, his pupils constricted and his irises dilated.

There, Zoren was grabbing onto the foot of the seat while his other hand held Penny’s ankle. He couldn’t see Penny because she was on the floor, with the seats blocking Hugo’s view. However, with the open emergency door and Atlas nowhere in sight, Zoren holding onto the seat with only one hand, painted the big picture.

"Kyahh!!" Another scream from Penny echoed as the aircraft suddenly tilted, making Zoren slide down. Hugo was also thrown off to the other side, almost tumbling if not for holding onto something to fight the force.

When Hugo forced himself to get up, another turbulence happened, making him lose balance in his panic state.

"Penny!" Zoren shouted, clenching his teeth as he held tightly to the seat. However, he could feel his hand slowly sliding from the weight of his other hand.

Turning his head, all he could see was his wife’s back. Penny was lying on her stomach, her chest dangling over the open door. Seeing this, Zoren clenched his teeth even more, trying to pull her back, but to no avail. She only moved half an inch.

It wasn’t that Zoren was weak.

The reason Zoren couldn’t pull his wife back was that he was literally holding onto three people to stop them from falling. Beyond that open door, Atlas and the other man were hanging on.

"Atlas!" Penny screamed, unfazed by the harsh wind at this altitude. She was holding Atlas’s arm with both her arms, and he was holding her back. "Hold tight! Do not let me go!"

Atlas clasped her hand tighter, staring straight into her eyes. Their gazes mirrored each other’s, and for some reason, they seemed to look very much alike. The fear, panic, and desperation in their eyes were exactly the same.

"Don’t let go." Her voice shook as she looked back at Zoren, only to see him doing his best to hold on to her. When Penny saw the man earlier, she didn’t think twice before leaping toward them. She didn’t think about where to hold on or anything else. All she could think was that if she didn’t do something, Atlas and the man would have been free-falling.

Thankfully, Zoren was with her and reacted quickly. If it weren’t for Zoren catching her ankle, it would have been three people free-falling.

Looking back down at Atlas, Penny pursed her lips. A thin layer of tears coated her eyes, her nails digging into his skin as if that would help her steady him.

"Hold tight," she breathed out through gritted teeth, shaking her head slightly. "Try kicking him to cut off some weight."
