novelxo Chapter 213
Wendy did not move. She saw the car that was going to catch up to them from the rear-view mirror.
All of a sudden, a hint of viciousness crept into her heart as she saw the car approaching her.
She was done with this life of hers. Even if she did manage to escape, wouldn't it be the same as the old days she once had with Caleb? She had enough of her miserable life! How could she give up without a fight?
As she thought of this, Wendy disregarded Caleb's instructions and quickly took over the steering wheel. She then turned around to hit the white car behind her.
Caleb did not expect this to happen. He shouted hurriedly, "Wendy!"
At the same time, Eudora was a little relieved when she saw the police slowly closing in on them from the front. She realized that they were waiting for Caleb to take the bait. However, she suddenly noticed the huge vehicle in front of her had gone out of control and was swerving in her direction.
She could see it clearly because it was more obvious from where she was seated.
Almost instinctively, Eudora turned around and threw herself at Amos. A loud bang crashed behind her.
She felt a pang of pain coming from her back and she heard Amos calling her name. "Eudora..."
She wanted to tell him that she was fine but she could not seem to utter a word. Eudora then passed out.
On the other hand, Harley had never expected things to turn out like this. He almost broke down when he saw Amos' car.
"Quick! Call the ambulance!"
Harley immediately ran over to Amos' car as he fought a rising panic.
Half of Amos' car was crushed beyond recognition. Harley quickly peered in and he saw Amos banging the car door desperately. The door was not working because half of the car was smashed. Amos's eyes were red and his hands were covered in blood. However, he continued to smash the door indifferently.
Harley quickly called someone over. "Over here, there's someone injured here!"
At the same time, Wendy was lying on the driver's seat and she could feel warm blood slowly dripping above her.
One drop, two drops.....
The droplets slowly formed into a stream of blood. She touched her head subconsciously, but her fingers found someone else's face instead.
It was Caleb. When she was turning the car around earlier, Caleb, who was standing not far away, suddenly yanked the door open with all his might and went back into the car.
He then shielded her from the impact with his body.
Wendy's mind went blank and she kept repeating in her head. Why?
Yes, why?
From the very beginning, it was obvious that Caleb was trying to deceive her when he approached her. Later, he took her with him because they were the same group of people. They belonged to the darkness The masked woman disappeared immediately after the basement case was solved. However, Caleb continued imprisoning her since.
He would hit her and torture her endlessly if she showed any sign of escaping. She thought hatred ran deep between them.
Besides, wasn't it just a few days ago when Caleb kept declaring that she was just his plaything?
Why was he willing to give his life up for a mere plaything?
"Caleb?" she suddenly shouted.
The person who was lying on her body stirred a little, but soon, the blood started flowing faster.
He inhaled sharply and swore.
"D*mn it, looks like you nearly got me killed this time! Well, I did owe you this much! If I ever meet you again in my next life, I hope that both of us would grow up in a peaceful and loving family. Then, if you call me big brother again, I will definitely not lie to you. Alright?"
Wendy was silent. They were surrounded by the police shortly after.
"Don't move!"
"They're both injured. Send them to the hospital first."
The hospital was crowded because of the major accident. Almost half of the hospital was filled!
At that moment, Amos Granger was sitting in front of the operating room. His posture remained unchanged ever since he arrived. When Harley reached the operating room, he immediately noticed that Amos' arm was still bleeding. A nurse stood next to Amos and she was trying to help him. "Sir, you're injured. Could I help you to clean up your wound? You can register..."
However, Amos ignored her and his whole body was emitting a chilly aura.
The nurse was frightened by him and dared not approach him.
Harley frowned, "Give me the gauze, I'll disinfect the wound and bandage it up!"
Instantly, relief flooded over the nurse. She quickly left the gauze and the antiseptic to Harley and went around to do her own work.
Harley grabbed Amos' arm and tried to disinfect his wound. However, Amos pulled away immediately out of reflex. Fortunately, Harley was prepared for it.
"It's me! Let me clean this up for you. Otherwise, you'll die of infection even before Eudora comes out!"
Amos finally stopped moving and let Harley clean up his wound.
Harley bandaged Amos' wound and said, "They should be done soon, right?"
As soon as his words fell, a nurse exited the operating room hurriedly and said, "Does anyone have type A blood? There are too many patients in our hospital today and the blood bank ran out..." Harley rolled his sleeves up and said, "I'm type A! Don't worry, I will save Eudora!"
Amos nodded gratefully. Harley was about to step into the emergency room when Wendy suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Type A blood? You're type A? The patient next to you needs it as well..."
Harley was stunned but he quickly noticed that his two colleagues behind her were nodding.
"Please save Caleb!" Wendy shouted in desperation.
Harley frowned, "Are you kidding? Eudora is still in the operating room!"
"You are a policeman and he might be a criminal, but the court hasn't sentenced him to death yet!"
Harley laughed mockingly and said, "You're right, I'm an officer but I'm Eudora's friend as well. Obviously, I would rather save my friend at a time like this. Besides, Eudora is a renowned designer and her contributions to society are surely going to be more than a wanted criminal, right?" He shook Wendy off and turned to enter the emergency room.
At this moment, Wendy turned to stop Amos and screamed, "I saved you. No matter what I had done previously, I still saved you, right? Now I'm asking you to save Caleb first! Consider this as your last repayment of kindness and we'll break our ties after this!"
Amos frowned. Harley immediately interrupted them. "Don't listen to her nonsense. You don't owe her anything after everything she did!"
"Amos!" Wendy shouted hurriedly, "Ask yourself, if I hadn't save you back then, would you be able to meet Eudora? Would you even be who you are today? No matter what I did, I had never threatened your life! Are you going to repay me or not?"
Amos pursed his thin lips. He recalled the bright eyes of that little girl and compared it to the resentful eyes in front of him. They were no longer the same.
After a long pause, Amos finally spoke.
"So you're saying that our ties will be severed if I repay you this time, am I right?"
Wendy's heart was filled with joy, "Yes! And I swear I will not break my promise!"
Harley looked at the operating room on the other side and exclaimed, "Amos, you're crazy!"
"No!" Amos shook his head. The next second, a cold piercing light appeared and a silver flash buried itself in Amos' chest with a soft pop.
Harley was scared out of his wits. "Amos, you've Wendy was surprised too, "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you say that I owe you my life? Now I'm giving it back to you! Is this enough?"
Wendy gritted her teeth, "Amos, do you think this is enough? I told you, I won't let you go! Since you want to return it, then fine!" She immediately pounced at the handle of the knife and thrust it deeper into Amos' chest while the others were still in shock.
Harley yelled at his colleagues immediately, "You two, don't just stand there! Drag this madwoman out of here!"
