Chapter 748
Elliot had only one thing on his mind: to bring Lorelai back so that he could finish the operation at his hospital and to
calm his wife.
Therefore, he didn‘t want to wait any longer.
At this moment, Elliot noticed an outlaw approaching him in the bushes six meters away, so he motioned Reece to
go forward with him. Reece‘s heart raced as he saw this and dashed behind Elliot.
The outlaw went over to investigate when he heard a twig snap in the trees behind him, not realizing it was a stone
thrown by Reece.
As the outlaw looked around frantically for the source of the noise, Elliot stepped from behind him, snatched his
weapon and took him down to finish him off.
Elliot quickly looked at the gun‘s magazine and found it more than adequate. Instantly, his eyes turned as cold as a
stone, and Reece followed suit when he saw Elliot‘s sleek figure moving toward the outlaws.
Within minutes, flocks of frightened birds flew from the woods as it was accompanied by loud noises and screams.
After fifteen minutes, there was complete silence.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtReece, who was holding a weapon, was dumbfounded that he had witnessed a scene from an action film whereby
the man he was protecting, Elliot Presgrave, was the main character.
“Let‘s go before the sun goes down!” Elliot told Reece as he dropped the things in his hands.
Reece was taken aback, and he quickly followed Elliot.
While driving in the car that they came in; they contacted the other team members who were in the other three
cars. The team members in those cars soon came to pick
them up, but the two injured bodyguards had been transported to the hospital.
Then, Elliot reached for his phone and dialed Anastasia‘s number.
“Hello! Hello, Elliot, is that you?” Anastasia‘s voice was tinged with emotion.
“It‘s me. Don‘t worry, I‘m fine,” he reassured her. She must have been worried at home for the past two hours!
“You frightened the hell out of me.” She sniffled, indicating that she must have shed tears beforehand.
“I‘m not going to die so easily. I still have to look after you and Jared for the rest of my life!” Elliot tried to entice her
with humor.
On the other hand, Anastasia‘s tears became even more audible. “Could you kindly refrain from bringing up the
subject of death? That‘s not what I want to hear from
you.”
“Okay, fine. I won‘t bring it up again,” Elliot coaxed tenderly.
Elliot‘s demeanor surprised Reece. Is he the same Mr. Presgrave who killed the outlaws in the woods?
Anastasia informed Elliot to return home early when she learned he would pick up Lorelai.
Meanwhile, Lorelai sat on the sofa, sipping vitality serum for nourishment. She wanted to go outside for fresh air to
calm down, as she felt tense and stifled within the villa. Then, she recalled her mother‘s warning and knew she had
to stay put.
At night, the villa stood out even more prominently. Several shadowy people showed up in front of the villa‘s outer
wall, and the bodyguards led the way as they climbed up the wall.
Lorelai was asleep in her bedroom when she became aware of the sound. Panicked, she rose to her feet and yelled
for her assistant, but nobody responded.
As she walked down the hall, she was thinking about her assistant when she noticed the door to her house being
forced open and a tall figure enveloped in a subtle aroma of blood entering the house with a gloomy coldness.
Lorelai stepped back quickly and trembled as she was overwhelmed with fear. The man who appeared before her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmat this time was not the same man who had once held her heart; instead, he was a dangerous incarnation of
Hades, who had come down from hell himself.
“E–Elliot, what are you doing here?” She maintained her composure, but her emotions were in disarray.
When she looked closer, she discovered Elliot‘s suit was smeared with a red dye that resembled human blood.
In an instant, Lorelai had a realization about something. Her mother had not informed her of the plan. Is that what
Dad was attempting to do by ambushing him?
“Will you return home with me voluntarily, or will you make me use force to bring you back?” Elliot said coldly.
When he looked at the girl in front of him, with whom he had spent his childhood
together, he no longer felt anything. He felt disgusted to the point where he didn‘t want to look at her again.
“I‘m not going back, and I‘m not going anywhere.” An emotional Lorelai shook her head and begged, “Elliot, the
child is already in my womb. May I give birth to it? I promise the baby will grow up to be a healthy child.”
