Was she still in love with Jeremy, or did she hate him so much that she thought of him before dying?
She heard a whiz, a sound that caused her eardrums to reverberate. Death didn’t arrive as she had expected.
Caught by surprise, Jeffrey felt a sharp pain in his wrist. Before he knew it, someone had kicked the dagger in his hand away, making it drop into the pond.
Alyssa turned around and saw the angry Jeremy come to her rescue. The despair in her eyes vanished, replaced by renewed hope. Her heart raced, and tears welled up in her eyes.
He had come. He had come for her.
Breathing heavily, Jeremy stared deeply at her. He was enraged to see the cut on her arm, which was bleeding now. At that moment, he appeared intimidating, even to Jeffrey, who was used to killing.
Worse, Jeffrey had failed to anticipate Jeremy’s arrival.
Jeremy glared at Jeffrey while shielding Alyssa behind him, offering her careful protection. He questioned,
“I have seen you before, haven’t I? Do you work for Sophia?”
Alyssa’s heart skipped a beat. Sean was furious to learn that.
Alyssa wasn’t surprised that Sophia wanted to harm her. But why now? It didn’t make sense. Sophia’s rash move would only expose her wrongdoings.
Alyssa also considered the possibility that Sophia wanted Nina dead and had only decided to get rid of her at the same time.
Why would Sophia want to harm Nina? Had Nina discovered a huge secret?
The other three attackers looked mortified when they saw Jeremy. However, they had no other choice but to fight him to the end. They hoped that they could subdue Jeremy and get out of this situation unharmed.
“Who’s Sophia? I don’t know her,” Jeffrey remarked while holding his wrist, which was numb from the pain.
He shot Jeremy an evil grin and added, “That doesn’t matter. All I need to do is make sure none of you survive.”
Jeffrey, who was bold enough to attempt to kill Alyssa, wouldn’t flinch at the thought of killing Jeremy at all. To him, Jeremy was nothing more than Javier Walsh’s bastard son.
“I only wanted you arrested, but seeing as you’ve hurt my woman, I have to kill you,” Jeremy threatened.
Tightening his fists, he dashed toward Jeffrey before the latter could react.
Meanwhile, Alyssa blushed, and her breathing became uneven upon hearing Jeremy call her his woman.
However, Alyssa was pulled out of her thoughts as Jeremy engaged in a fierce brawl with Jeffrey. Each punch he delivered was forceful and rapid.
The three other men ran toward Jeremy, aiming their knives at him. They were determined to kill him.
There was no other option.
“Jeremy, look out! Behind you!” Alyssa shouted, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.
Since Jeremy hadn’t fully recovered, facing Jeffrey alone would be a daunting task for him. Now, things were worse with the trio of attackers closing in on him.
Not only that, Jeffrey was a merciless man whose each move aimed to kill.
Jeremy was empowered when he heard Alyssa’s warning. Without looking back, he grabbed the attacker’s wrist and snapped it. The attacker’s agonizing scream pierced through the night.
Alyssa’s heart was pounding wildly. Memories of Jeremy’s valor on the battlefield flooded her mind.
In the next instant, she watched as he decisively stabbed the attacker. As a doctor, she realized that
Jeremy hadn’t stabbed the attacker in any vital parts of his body. He had intentionally spared the attacker’s life.
Despite having lived a comfortable life for years, he had retained his excellent combat skills, which were more than sufficient to take down the three attackers.
Jeremy clutched the dagger in his hand and questioned Jeffrey. “Were you the one who hurt my woman?” Jeffrey ground his teeth and snickered.
Jeremy threatened, “If she’s hurt, I will break your leg. If she bleeds, I’ll make you pay with your life.”
He felt pained when he thought of the cut on Alyssa’s arm. However, he dared not look her in the eye, fearing that she might be annoyed at him.
Alyssa pressed her pale lips when she listened to him. Her breathing quickened as she grappled with her mixed emotions.
Jeffrey cackled loudly. The situation had spiraled out of his control. Fueled by anger, he boldly brandished a gun and aimed it at Alyssa’s shocked face.
He hadn’t used the gun earlier because he had wanted to kill Alyssa quietly. To his dismay, Jeremy’s abrupt arrival had disrupted his plans. With no other recourse, he had to speed things up.
“No! Ms. Alyssa!” Sean paled.
He was desperate to shield Alyssa, but he found himself unable to move.
After a momentary shock, Jeremy quickly rushed up to grab the gun from Jeffrey, but it was too late.
“Mr. Walsh, say goodbye to your woman!”
What followed was an ear¨Csplitting gunshot.
Trembling from head to toe, Jeremy bellowed in despair, “No!”
Alyssa’s eyes were misty. She could hear the sound of the bullet coming in her direction.
Since her days as a battlefield medic, she had developed an acute sensitivity to the sound of gunfire. Even after she had returned home, she had suffered from PTSD until she had sought help from a mental health professional and worked on her trauma for a while.
Closing her eyes in dread, she anticipated the worst, only to be startled by a weak moan from the ground. beside her.
Confused, she opened her eyes. Gaping in shock as she exclaimed, “Ninal”
Nina threw herself in front of Alyssa, protecting the latter with her feeble frame. Her opened arms fell limply, and her body collapsed onto the floor.
Jeremy and Sean were shocked by the sight. Alyssa hugged Nina, only to feel the wetness in her hands. Trembling, she lifted her hand and teared up at what she saw.
“Nina! You’
“Ms. Alyssa, listen…” Nina was losing her consciousness fast.
She opened her mouth with difficulty as the color drained from her face.
Alyssa hurriedly stopped her from speaking. “Stop talking! You need to conserve your energy. I’ll get your to the hospital!”
Crying. Alyssa tried to lift Nina in her arms, but she failed because she was too exhausted from the fight. Instead, she offered, “I’ll stop your bleeding!”
Nina shook her head, muttering. “It’s too late. I know Sophia’s secret. She killed Madam Anne… the evidence… the phone…”
Alyssa felt a sharp pang course through her body. A coldness enveloped her. She looked at Jeremy through tears as he wrestled the gun from Jeffrey. She also heard the police siren nearing
Realizing he couldn’t escape, Jeffrey turned and leaped into the pond, Jeremy fired two shots at him, after which the gun clicked empty. Jeffrey vanished beneath the water.
“Nina, we’re safe! Nina!” Alyssa cried, removing her jacket to apply pressure to Nina’s nonstop abdominal bleeding.
She cried, determined to save Nina’s life, but as a doctor, she could tell from experience that Nina was dying.
“Mr. Walsh! Madam!” Xavier arrived at the scene with the Walsh’s’ security force.
Jonah, Axel, and Cyrus followed closely behind him.
“Lyse! Lyse!” Alyssa’s brothers called out to her.
However, she was focused on Nina, watching helplessly as Nina’s face turned pale and her eyes closed slowly.
Witnessing the scene, Jonah clutched a cross in sadness. Xavier, who rushed over to assist Jeremy,
“No! Ms. Alyssa!” Sean paled.
He was desperate to shield Alyssa, but he found himself unable to move.
After a momentary shock, Jeremy quickly rushed up to grab the gun from Jeffrey, but it was too late.
“Mr. Walsh, say goodbye to your woman!”
What followed was an ear¨Csplitting gunshot.
