Clara was dumbfounded. The men knew she was a small business owner with a small store, which meant this was no coincidence. She was unconscious, and they could not have accidentally stolen a car with her in it.Maybe they were after her from the start!Were they planning to kidnap her? Did they know she was already in there when she happened to be asleep in Queenie's car?Clara thought about how Queenie had desperately invited her to the church and the charm she had given her. She vaguely remembered the light scent from the charm before drifting to sleep. Clara almost figured out the truth with all these clues. "Enough. It's been a long time since we've had a woman, and you're the only one we'll devour today!" One of the men said, and the hands continued tearing her clothes apart.Clara had a bad feeling and knew it would be hard to escape this fate. She only hoped that the baby in her belly would stay safe.Determined to protect the baby, Clara stopped fighting back and decid
She immediately understood the thing on her neck was a dagger. Martin growled, “Don’t come near me! I’ll kill her if you guys come any closer!” The two young men from just now kept repeating, “I don’t know anything. He’s the mastermind behind this! He forced us to do this!” Clara was blindfolded, and she could only listen to what was happening around her. At that moment, she heard a familiar voice. “Alright. Don’t hurt her! We won’t go near you!” Clara was surprised that Wilson was there. Martin breathed heavily and pressed the dagger into Clara’s neck. She felt a sharp pain in her neck immediately. Clara gasped in pain while Wilson shouted angrily, “Stop hurting her! You won’t get away from me if anything happens to her!” “Fine! I won’t hurt her! Tell these police to get the hell out of my way! After that, transfer two hundred million dollars to my foreign bank account and prepare two million dollars in cash and a car for me. I’ll release her when I feel safe.” Marti
Martin still wasn’t satisfied with Wilson, and he said maliciously, “Hahaha! The CEO of the Birch Group is pleasing me like a dog now. Since you care so much about this bitch, why don’t we let her see what you look like now?” The blindfold loosened, and Clara’s eyes widened as she felt a pang in her chest when she saw Wilson. He was kneeling on the ground while hitting himself hard with a wooden stick. He looked bloodied, and he was probably badly injured underneath his clothes. “Stop it, Wilson! Don’t listen to him!” Clara shouted. She could feel the pain in her neck intensify with every word she shouted.“Clara, stop talking or you’ll bleed more,” Wilson said with difficulty. Clara’s tears welled up all of a sudden.“Wilson, you want me to stop her bleeding, right? Since you guys are being so lovey-dovey, you should also feel her pain. Cut yourself on the neck and I’ll stop her bleeding!” Martin said. Clara was stunned at his words. The police officers behind Wilson s
After saying that, Wilson cut himself in the neck. Martin laughed out loud as he watched. “Seems like you’re really infatuated with her! However, she has two wounds in her neck, so shouldn’t you cut yourself once more?” Wilson cut himself immediately without saying anything. Clara couldn’t stop her tears when she saw that. Wilson knew that Martin didn’t mean well, but he still foolishly complied with his request. She wasn’t sure why Wilson did that for her. Wilson panicked when he saw her crying. “Don’t cry, I’m not in pain,” he said, although he was bleeding profusely on his neck. “Since you’re not in pain, cut yourself deeper until you feel the pain! Do it, or else I’ll cut her!” Martin screamed. Wilson raised his hand and proceeded to inflict a third wound on his neck.The blood made him look paler than usual. “You’re not allowed to do that, Wilson!” Clara cried out. The pain in her body was spreading. It turned out that seeing him getting hurt had actually hurt h
“We’ll have to do a checkup in the hospital to assess his condition,” the policeman said and helped Clara and Wilson into a car. In the car, Wilson was still worrying about Clara. “Are you okay?” He asked with a hoarse voice. Clara shook her head while crying. Wilson gently wiped away her tears. “Don’t cry, Clara. You’re safe now, I won’t let you go through this again.” He thought that she was crying because she was scared, but she was crying because her heart was aching for him. She wasn’t sure when she began to feel like that. “Wilson, why did you do that? Why did you cut yourself just because he told you to do that?! I’m… not that important to you!” “It’s not up to you to say that. I have decided that you’re important to me. Besides, Martin wouldn’t let his guard down if I didn’t do exactly as he said.”“Stop talking now. You’ll bleed more if you talk,” Clara said anxiously. “Alright, you shouldn’t talk either.” They remained silent in the car with their hands int
Wilson was sent to the emergency room immediately when they arrived at the hospital. Clara’s condition was better, and the child in her belly was not affected by the ordeal. She only had to have the wound on her neck treated. However, Wilson was being resuscitated in the emergency room. Serenity and Lisa rushed to the hospital when they heard the news. “Clara, are you alright?! Is the baby okay?” Serenity asked anxiously when she entered Clara’s ward. “I’m fine, the baby is good too. It’s only a minor injury,” Clara said. “Phew! That’s good!” Serenity and Lisa were relieved. “Is Wilson still being resuscitated? I want to watch over him.” Clara was worried about Wilson’s condition.“You should rest now. Don’t worry about Wilson. Jackson and Terry are there, they’ll handle everything,” Lisa said. Clara bit her lip. She wouldn’t be able to rest assured if she wasn’t there watching over Wilson. “Alright, we’ll go there together. I’ll ask the nurse for a wheelchair,” Sere
Wilson was still on the operating table. From Clara’s angle, she could see that he was surrounded by doctors and nurses, and she could catch a glimpse of his side view. Wilson had a pale complexion, his eyes were closed, and some of his hair had been shaved off. Clara was afraid that he would never open his eyes ever again. “He’ll be alright. Don’t worry, Clara.” Serenity gently patted Clara’s shoulder. “There are many experts here, and Wilson is as fit as a fiddle.” Clara nodded and fixed her gaze on Wilson. About ten minutes later, a voice was heard in the operating room. “The patient has lost a lot of blood. He needs a blood transfusion, but he has a rare blood type. There’s no such blood type in the hospital's blood bank. We have to retrieve the blood from the city's blood bank.” “Take my blood! I have the same blood type as him!” Clara exclaimed without hesitation. “Clare, you’re pregnant now. No doctor will draw blood from you even if you’re willing to donate it
Serenity nodded.Before they left, Lisa reminded Clara, “Clare, call us if you need anything. Don’t be shy.” “Yeah, sure.” Clara smiled gratefully with teary eyes. She knew that the Valors and the Whites had come together and helped the police locate her quickly. She was very grateful to have met such great friends in her life. After Serenity and Lisa left with their husbands, Clara looked at Wilson and whispered, “Do you know that I’m feeling more and more indebted to you? How could I pay you back, Wilson?” Their relationship was like a tangled yarn. Every time Clara thought that she was going to sort things out between them, it got messier. She was heartbroken while looking at Wilson who was covered in bandages. Maybe they were fated to stay in a complicated relationship. -When Mrs. Wells arrived with Yannick at the hospital, she saw Clara sitting beside Wilson’s bed, lost in her thoughts. She had known about the ordeal before she came here, so she wasn’t surprise
