Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 572

“Why is he aware of our presence?” It was then I figured out he had allowed us to sneak our way to Christopher’s side to lure him out of hiding. It had always been part of his plan to threaten Christopher with my wellbeing.

He’s such a lucky man! I thought I managed to take him out with a shot when he was on board! It turns out he’s still kicking and alive when he was supposed to drown to his death!

Instead of answering the man’s query, Christopher grasped the gun with all his might. It was then Lyle urged, “Can you fire another shot and render him incapable of speech?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“The shot fired a few seconds ago was the last shot since I had run out of bullets.”

Christopher’s announcement took us by surprise since we would be dead the moment the vicious bunch made their way to our hideout.

Out of the blue, John yelled, “Christopher, I’ll take you out since you won’t stop coming after me when I’ve tried running away from you for more than once! I’ll consider doing you a favor and leave your wife alone if you surrender yourself! However, if you refuse, I’ll get my men to have some fun with her once I take you into custody!”

Christopher couldn’t stop himself from trembling in angst. As infuriated as he might be, he answered in a callous tone, “I’m pretty sure you’re trying to deceive me again! Once I’m dead, they’re going to end up in a similar manner! You don’t think I’m going to fall for your tricks, do you?”

“Well, we shall see if you’re going to make it out alive when you’re running out of ammo and supplies!”

“Chris!” Slouching against the man, I could feel his frigid limbs when there was a scorching sun above us. I started running my hands across him and felt a sense of security when I felt the dagger he had with him.

I thought I could stop them from trying anything silly as long as I took myself out when all hell broke loose.

It must be the power of love since I couldn’t even dissect a frog for my biology class during my high school days. I was able to rule out the pros and cons of the situation since Christopher was next to me.

I was on the verge of passing out in the middle of the day. As those around us started preparing their meals, I couldn’t stop myself from gulping in silence after having rations over the past few days.

I couldn’t even stop my stomach from grumbling when I caught a whiff of the food our foes made. Out of nowhere, someone alighted from an off-road vehicle and engaged himself in a conversation with John.

John carried himself as if he was inferior to the mysterious figure next to him. Upon another glance at the mysterious figure, I thought he seemed awfully familiar, yet I couldn’t recall the occasion I had run into him.

When he was about to leave, I finally recalled I ran into him next to Mark when we were at Anglandur. He was none other than Wesley, Mark’s assistant. I was confused since I couldn’t figure out the sort of

relationship the Goldstein family had with John. It was then I thought the Goldstein family might be involved in some shady trades as well.

I stopped hesitating and rushed out of hiding, yelling the moment I made it to the sight of the rest, “Hold it right there, Wesley!”

“Yvonne, have you lost your mind?” Christopher and Lyle rushed out of hiding and stood next to me to keep me safe.

Wesley was equally surprised by my presence. He asked in return, “What are you doing here? Also, why have you stopped me?”

Unsure if it was the right thing to do, I instructed in a serious tone since I was aware it was my only chance to keep all of us safe, “Tell John to set us free!”

“What makes you think I’m going to listen to you?” Wesley asked with a scornful look.

“Well, it’s because I’m the sole successor of the Goldstein family, Mark’s only daughter!”
