“If you let her go, we will help you find that person,” Patrick said patiently.
“I’m not as stupid as you think. You’ve got five minutes, and I’ll kill this nurse if she doesn’t show up,” With that, the woman pressed the gun on the nurse’s temple.
The nurse was so nervous that she screamed. And the crowd let out a gasp. Wayne was standing behind Patrick. He found that the woman’s voice sounded familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he’d heard it before. Even after thinking about it for a while, he still couldn’t recall who she was.
“OK. Who are you looking for? We’ll find that person for you. Please don’t hurt her,” Patrick said in a pleading tone.
“I’m looking for a British doctor named Anna Wright. I hope she’ll be in front of me in a few minutes. I’ll release the nurse as soon as she arrives. Otherwise, Anna will be the one to blame for her death!”
“What?” Patrick was taken aback, as what this woman said shocked him.
“Do I need to repeat it? The clock is ticking,” The woman said impatiently. Her voice was as eerie as a ghost, giving everyone goosebumps.
Wayne’s heart began to race even faster right after he heard what the woman said. He couldn’t believe Anna was the person this woman was looking for. And he had no idea who she was or what kind of feud she had with Anna. After a brief moment, however, Wayne realized who this woman could be. He couldn’t see her face, but her voice and appearance reminded him of Victoria, who was supposed to have died on the high seas last month. That woman had kidnapped Tammy to take Gary away, and she had also threatened to kidnap Matthew. Wayne was shocked because he had assumed she had drowned in the sea.
Moreover, Wayne didn’t expect she’d be alive because her ship was sunk in the deep sea. Not only was she alive, but she came to Fleosil seeking revenge. Thinking of that, Wayne planned to find Anna and tell her not to come. He was about to turn around when Anna came in.
“Is anyone looking for me?” She asked calmly.
Everyone returned their attention to her.
“Dr. Wright, please! Please do not come here!” Patrick shouted.
“Anna Wright, you’re finally here,” Victoria said with clenched teeth.
“Victoria, it’s you. I didn’t believe Camila when she said you weren’t dead. You lost to her, but now you want to take your revenge on me? You’re such a loser!”
“Shut the fuck up!” Victoria yelled.
Wayne was nervous because he was afraid Anna would irritate the insane woman. He knew clearly that Victoria had been Night Eagle’s leader for many years and was notorious for her cruelty. Then Wayne looked over nervously at Anna, but he was surprised to find her calm. She didn’t seem scared at all.
“Are you looking for me? I’m here now. Let that nurse go,” Looking at Victoria coldly, Anna said seriously.
“Come closer,” Victoria growled.
“I won’t come closer to you unless you let the nurse go.”
“I’ve never met her. The only person I want to kill is you.”
“OK.”
“Throw the scalpel away and raise your hands!” Victoria said.
Anna followed her instructions and then moved slowly over to her.
“Don’t go over there, Dr. Wright! It’s dangerous!” At the same time, Patrick yelled, not wanting Anna to put her life on the line.
Suddenly, Victoria raised her gun and fired into the roof. She screamed in annoyance, “Shut the fuck up! If you say one more word, you’ll be the next to die!”
The gunshot startled everyone. Patrick immediately closed his mouth, fearful that she would do something even worse. And the nurse shook even more, and she appeared to be on the verge of collapsing. Seeing that, Anna rushed over and took hold of the nurse. She said, “I’ve already got here. Let her go.”
Then Victoria moved the gun to Anna’s temple. Anna shoved the nurse toward Patrick, hoping he would protect her. And when Anna noticed Wayne, who was standing tall behind Patrick, she froze.
“What exactly do you want, Victoria? I’ve read through your case. You’ve only recently been infected. So, we could cure you,” Trying to remain calm, Anna asked. She tried to negotiate calmly with Victoria.
“I need your special medication.”
“Okay. I just happened to have that in my pocket.”
“You and your husband made me lose everything. So, you need to give me $10 million.”
“No problem.”
“I’m going to kill Camila and get back everything that was mine.”
This time, Anna did not respond.
“Can you do it or not? If you can’t, then go to hell!” Victoria yelled hysterically and then kicked Anna on the calf.
Anna nearly fell to her knees, and then stood up straight with all her strength. Seeing that, Wayne was in more pain. He wanted to rush to Anna and help her out of the situation at that moment, but he knew he had to wait for the right time. Therefore, he stood in the crowd, silent.
“I’m just a doctor. I’m not that capable enough to defeat mercenaries!” Anna said through gritted teeth.
Hearing that, Victoria kicked her once more. “Are you trying to fool me? I’m sure you know some special forces! Isn’t Ryan Tyler your brother-in-law?”
Anna let out a painful groan. She took a deep breath and said, “I had no idea you knew it. But, sadly, none of them is in Fleosil.”
“That’s fine. I can wait. They’ll agree to my request as long as you’re my hostage!”
Wayne’s gun was in his pocket, but he didn’t have the guts to touch it. At that time, Victoria’s gun remained pressed against Anna’s temple, making him nervous. His hands were sweating, and he was even more nervous than he had been when he saved Tammy last month.
Then Wayne thought, Everyone’s dressed in protective suits, so Victoria isn’t going to recognize me. He knew it would be challenging to find the gun through the suit because he was afraid he would make some noise. And the last thing he wanted to do was to attract Victoria’s attention. Then, by pinching the edge with his fingers carefully, Wayne ripped the suit open. To his delight, he didn’t make a loud noise. After that, he leaned forward and took cover behind Patrick.
Slowly and steadily, Wayne took hold of the pistol at his waist. At t the same time, Anna kept her gaze fixed on Wayne. After a brief moment, Wayne reached out his left hand and quietly motioned to her, mouthing, “Get down in three seconds.”
Anna blinked at him as she understood exactly what he meant. After years of being together, they formed an extraordinary bond. Knowing that Anna got the hint, Wayne counted from one to three quietly. The next second, he yelled out the window as he quickly drew his pistol, “Camila, shoot!”
In the blink of an eye, Wayne pulled the trigger when Victoria turned her head to look out the window. Anna grabbed the opportunity, rolled on the floor and leaned down at the same time.
Then, caught off guard, Victoria was hit precisely in the hand that she held her gun. Blood sprayed from her hand, and her gun fell to the ground. The next moment, Anna grabbed the gun on the floor and pointed it at Victoria.
Squatting, Victoria screamed out loud in pain, then looked down to check at her hand. And Wayne took the chance to shoot her in the hands and legs a few more times. As a result, Victoria was unable to move and lay on the ground, looking half-dead.
In a hurry, Wayne dashed over to Anna’s side and held her in his arms. It wasn’t until he felt the heat of her body and smelled the lovely scent of her hair that he finally relaxed a bit. Thank God I didn’t lose you, Anna. Thank goodness you’re still safe and sound, He thought.
As he took Anna’s hand in his, Wayne turned around and said to Patrick, “I’ll leave Victoria to you then.”
“Huh? What do you want me to do? You want me to remove the bullets from her body?” Patrick asked in puzzlement.
“Suit yourself. Camila will be here soon, so just leave it to her,” Wayne said calmly as if the incident had nothing to do with him.
“What? I thought Camila was at the window!” Stunned, Anna said.
“No, she wasn’t. I lied to Victoria earlier to divert her attention.”
Hearing Wayne’s words, Anna looked surprised at him. Then she laughed in amazement. Wrapping his arm around her waist, Wayne asked worriedly, “Anna, how are you feeling? Are you hungry?”
“Yes! My stomach keeps growling,” Anna answered when touching her belly with her hands.
