Upon hearing this, Elliot looked serious and said analytically, "You don’t have many enemies. Your only enemies are the Taylor family and the Conrad family."
"So you’re saying they planned the accident?" Yvonne tightly held the chain of her shoulder bag.
Elliot squinted his eyes. "It's possible."
"But why? Why now?" Yvonne was puzzled. "If it's me that they want, they could have done something last time, but why now? Could it be..."
"What did you think of it?" Elliot asked.
Yvonne’s mouth moved a little. Right when she was about to say something, she suddenly saw someone behind him.
The person was covered in blood.
It was the driver!
She wasn't sure when the driver woke up and got out o f the car.
With a sullen face, he slowly lifted something in his hand and stared at them fiercely.
Yvonne couldn't see what the driver was holding as Elliot blocked her, but her instinct told her that it wasn't something good.
She took a deep breath and quickly warned, "Elliot, be
careful!”
Elliot was startled for a moment. Then, he realized what was happening through Yvonne's worried eyes. He immediately turned around and kicked.
Unfortunately, he failed.
The driver squatted down and avoided Elliot the moment he kicked.
Not only that, but while the driver was avoiding Elliot, he raised his arm towards Elliot with a grin and pointed at his chest.
Bang!
It was a gunshot.
Elliot felt a sharp pain in his chest and hot liquid came out of it.
He slowly lowered his head and saw a hole as big as a finger on his chest. His blood was flowing out of the hole continuously.
No wonder it hurt so much. He was shot...
Elliot laughed at himself with a pale face. He could no longer stand and fell to the ground with a thud.
The driver who fired the gun fell to the ground with him.
After the accident earlier, the driver almost collapsed when he tried his best to escape. With such a big movement, he felt that his internal organs were about t o explode.
If he hadn’t been holding on, he wouldn’t be able to stand up nor could he fire the shot.
The moment Elliot fell to the ground after a gunshot, h e glanced at Yvonne regrettably and he couldn't hold i t anymore. He fell after vomiting blood.
This incident shocked all the onlookers.
Everyone was screaming for some time.
Yvonne finally returned to reality from the shock. Her face was pale and she looked at Elliot who was on the ground, not knowing if he was alive. She clenched her fists and yelled, then she stumbled over and kneeled beside Elliot. She reached out with her shaking hands to touch Elliot's face.
"Elliot? Elliot?” She called Elliot twice in horror, trying t o wake him up.
However, Elliot remained still and he didn't respond a s if he was really dead.
Yvonne was even more scared. She cried and held Elliot’s body in her arms. With the other hand, she pressed on Elliot’s wound to stop the blood from flowing.
But it was useless. No matter how hard she pressed on the wound, the blood was still flowing through her fingers, staining her clothes.
She could even feel the blood getting colder and the fear in her heart expanded infinitely.
"Elliot, don't scare me... Please hold on, don't die. Do you hear me? Don't die!" Yvonne burst into tears, crying for help from the crowd, "Please, please save him. Take us to the hospital, please..."
