At this time, Eddy, who saw this from a distance, felt his heart drop. When he had learned that Kirk had jumped into the river, he had asked Simon to follow Kirk's men.Seeing that they hadn't found him after a day and how he had embarrassed himself at the hospital, Eddy had driven over to the river. He hadn't expected to see Caroline there. Worse, he had never expected Caroline to fall into the river as well.It was as if God was playing tricks on him. He had just celebrated that Kirk had fallen into the river, and now Caroline was about to fall in, too.Just as he was about to rush over in desperation to help, he was stunned by what he saw once more.Caroline didn't even grab a tree branch. Instead, she grabbed a person's arm.Sure enough, after the initial panic, Caroline realized she wasn't holding a branch but an arm. Moreover, she was pleasantly surprised to see that the arm belonged to Kirk. However, he was hidden in the grass, his face pale.Caroline panicked. She wan
After giving it another glance, Jack realized he was looking at Kirk. He was so excited that he darted around several times before running to get help.Caroline looked at Kirk, who was lying pale on the grass. She didn't dare to give first aid carelessly. She could only wait impatiently for the rescue team to arrive. Soon, Sean rushed over with a doctor. The doctor quickly gave Kirk first aid, while Caroline watched him nervously from the side.When Gwen saw her friend like this, she quickly came over and hugged Caroline's trembling body. She said, "Don't worry. Good things will happen to good people. He'll be fine!"Caroline gently held Gwen's hand, and her body stopped trembling too much.Soon, the doctor leading the team turned to Sean and said, "Dr. Yates, the patient has a lot of water in his lungs. We need to take him to the hospital for surgery immediately, or his life will be in danger!"Sean nodded. "Okay! I'll make arrangements immediately!"This area was secluded, an
The doctor also noticed something was wrong. Just as he was about to question the driver, Jack showed up at the car door. "The ambulance's wheels have been punctured. We can't start the ambulance."Caroline's expression shifted at his words. "Are there any other cars we can use?""The other cars have also been sabotaged. I've already told Dr. Yates about this. He said he would get a car over right away, but they need at least half an hour.""We can't wait that long," the doctor said with a dark expression. "The patient needs to get surgery within half an hour. If not, his life will be in danger."Caroline's face turned ashen at his words. "But …" She glanced at Kirk on the stretcher, and an idea came to her. She asked Jack, "Jack, where's Sean right now?""Dr. Yates is right behind us. He'll be down soon.""Sean is a well-known genius doctor in Macldo. When Eddy wanted my kidney, he asked Sean to handle the surgery. A surgery like this must be a child's play for him!"As soon
However, that was if they were fighting them head-on. His current goal wasn't to defeat the Shadowers but to ruin Kirk's surgery. Since that was the case, they didn't have to worry about fighting the Shadowers."Let's go," Eddy told the men behind him, who clearly wanted to retreat.The men looked at each other, knowing they were no match for the Shadowers. They didn't want to die.Eddy glanced at them sullenly. "If you don't want them to kill you, I can kill you instead. I'll let you make the choice."Upon hearing his words, the men stopped hesitating and slowly followed Eddy toward the ambulance at the foot of the mountain.Before they even got close, the leader of the small team of Shadowers came to Caroline's side and whispered, "Ms. Evans, there are people coming our way!"Caroline asked sternly, "Do you know where they're coming from?""From the mountains," the leader answered, looking where the men were coming from.Caroline narrowed her eyes. "Can you tell how many pe
The men who were throwing the stones hadn't expected Caroline to stand in front of the ambulance. For a moment, they weren't sure if they should continue their attack. They all looked in Eddy's direction.Seeing that they had stopped their attack, Jack and the others finally relaxed. "Is Eddy really behind this?""He definitely is!" Caroline said firmly, staring in the direction where Eddy's people threw the stones. Then, she said, "Jack, lend me your phone."Jack hesitated for a moment before handing his phone to Caroline.Caroline took her phone out. She looked for the blocked number on her contact list and dialed it using Jack's phone.Since Eddy was in a high place, he saw everything Caroline was doing. When he heard his phone ring and saw the unfamiliar number on his phone, he understood what was happening.Even at this time, Caroline still refused to unblock his number. Did she hate him that much? If that was the case, he wouldn't have mercy on Kirk."Finally willing
Besides, they believed that Caroline's move was a fluke. Perhaps the gun she was holding was just a fake, and she simply used it to scare them.Even if the gun was real, it only had a few shots. There were so many people here. There was no guarantee that the bullets would hit anyone.Eddy's men became even braver at the thought of this. Each of them took a stone and threw it at the ambulance.Some brave ones even rushed straight toward the ambulance. 5% of Morrison Corportion's shares was truly a tempting reward.When Caroline saw her attackers rushing toward her instead of backing down, she no longer hesitated. She raised her gun and shot her attackers.She had never used a gun before. She didn't know if it was because she was very determined to protect Kirk, but she managed to shoot someone.After the man fell, the other attackers paused, but only for a moment. Then, they began their frenzied counterattack.After taking her first shot, Caroline didn't panic anymore and continu
A look of fear appeared on the Shadowers' faces They had never shown an expression like this, even on a battlefield.Meanwhile, the man who had destroyed the ambulance's window was dancing with joy. He laughed and shouted, "I did it! I'm going to get 5% of Morrison Corp's shares!"Just when everything was in a mess, the ambulance door opened. Upon seeing the door open, Caroline, who had been in a state of shock, couldn't resist rushing to the ambulance.Gwen hurriedly followed her, fearing that Caroline would collapse.Sean walked out of the ambulance. After glancing at Caroline, he turned his attention to Eddy nearby. A hint of aggression appeared in his eyes, as if he wanted to tear Eddy into shreds. His gaze only frightened Eddy briefly. Soon, Eddy guessed that something had happened to Kirk. Otherwise, Sean's expression wouldn't be this terrifying.Kirk was really dead! He was dead! Eddy wanted to laugh heartily at the outcome. But after looking at the Shadowers, who were
"He has lost too much blood. We can't delay things any longer. You need to take him to the hospital for a blood transfusion right away."Jack was pleasantly surprised and quickly ran to drive the car.Gwen was relieved to hear that Kirk's operation was a success. "What the hell? You scared the shit out of us!""I didn't have a choice. Desperate times call for desperate measures. We wouldn't have been able to leave if Eddy was still around. Wasting time here is detrimental to Kirk's situation.""What about Carol?""She's fine. She was just shocked. She'll probably wake up by the time we get to the hospital. She'll definitely be fine when we tell her the good news then."Gwen nodded and looked at Sean, her gaze increasingly intense. However, Sean didn't notice it at all. Instead, he asked someone to carry Caroline down the mountain.When they got to the hospital, Kirk was already in the emergency room.By now, Eddy had also realized he had been tricked. Unfortunately, there was n
