Those people wanted to approach me, but they were stopped by Edward. Edward turned around and roared at me, "Ashley, run! Run forward! Hurry up!"
Looking at Edward, I bit my lips, held my belly, and kept running forward.
I wanted to protect the child in my belly. I couldn't let the child suffer any harm.
"Bang bang bang!"
The pistols with silencers continued to shoot in my direction. When I heard the sound, I was so scared that my whole body froze.
Holding my belly, I dodged the bullets and went into a grove nearby.
Someone was chasing after me, and I could only keep running. I didn't see the trunk under my feet clearly and was suddenly pinned to the ground by it.
I instinctively hugged my belly and got up from the ground in a cold sweat.
When I was about to run forward, someone grabbed my hair with great force, and there was an extremely rough and fierce voice above my head.
"Run! Why don't run anymore, huh?"
"Let me go." I didn't expect that Betty would send killers to kill me. She was so vicious and I would never let her go.
"Let you go? We are asked to kill you." The man looked at me with a vicious face, raised his pistol and pointed it at my belly.
I looked at the man in front of me in fear and cried out in despair, "Edward, save me..."
Save our child... Edward...
I couldn't let anything bad happen to my child. I had already lost a child, and I couldn't lose this one.
However, nobody came to save me. It was dark all around. Except for the rustling sound of the wind blowing the branches, there was no other sound.
I closed my eyes in despair. Even if I were to die, I would die with my child.
Peng.
When I heard the gunshots, I thought I would definitely die, but I didn't feel the pain. Instead, I felt something on my cheek, which smelled like...
The smell of blood?
When I opened my eyes, I saw Edward.
His back was shot through and he hugged me tightly with both hands.
"Edward." I let out a scream and called out his name.
"Don't be afraid... I'm here... I won't let anyone hurt you..."
"Edward..." I was a little afraid as I looked at his extremely pale face.
With great difficulty, Edward hugged me and quickly shot that man.
After killing the man, Edward knelt on the ground with blood-shedding all the time.
Only then did I see clearly that apart from the gunshot wound just now, there were other gunshot wounds on his body. I was frightened and my lips were trembling. I covered my mouth and said, "Edward... how are you? Don't scare me..."
"Let's go... do not worry about me. Leave this place immediately." Edward pushed my hand. His voice was hoarse as he let out a low roar to me.
"No... Let's go together." I hated Edward, but I also loved him.
Since he saved me, how could I abandon him and leave on my own?
"I'll take you to the doctor with you on my back." I gritted my teeth and placed his arms on my shoulder. Then I walked slowly with him on my back.
Edward was very heavy. He pressed down on me and I almost couldn't breathe.
The child was very quiet. He didn't make trouble at this time, which made me very relieved.
I walked out of the woods step by step and walked out of the road with him on my back.
"Edward, don't sleep. You still owe me and our child. Have you forgotten?"
"Edward... This child is yours... Do you want to die without seeing your child? Let me tell you, don't think that I will be grateful to you. I won't. I will hate you. I will hate you for the rest of my life."
"Ashley... did we... look like this before?" I didn't know how long I had been talking. When I was thirsty, I heard Edward's faint and indistinct voice.
What did we look like?
I couldn't hear what he was saying. I could only grit my teeth, carry him on my back, and walk forward step by step.
Edward's blood fell on my neck. It was cold and chilling.
There were tears in my eyes.
Edward... don't die. I didn't want to owe you anything.
"Ashley..." Edward called out my name from time to time. My feet trembled and he fell down to the ground from my back.
I watched as Edward rolled aside. In a hoarse voice, I shouted out his name, "Edward..."
"You... hurry up and leave... those killers might still come over. Quickly... leave this place." Edward forced himself to open his eyes and said to me loudly.
"I won't leave, I won't owe you anything." I stubbornly climbed onto his body and grabbed his hand. I wanted to place him on my shoulders and leave with him on my back.
However, Edward gently pushed me away and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't need... you to save me. Ashley, I have told you to leave here... Do you hear me? Leave this place!"
"I have also told you that I will definitely... not leave this place." I clenched my fist and roared at Edward in a low voice.
