Wendy did not move. She saw the car that was going to catch up to them from the rear-view mirror.
All of a sudden, a hint of viciousness crept into her heart as she saw the car approaching her.
She was done with this life of hers. Even if she did manage to escape, wouldn't it be the same as the old days she once had with Caleb? She had enough of her miserable life!
How could she give up without a fight?
As she thought of this, Wendy disregarded Caleb's instructions and quickly took over the steering wheel. She then turned around to hit the white car behind her.
Caleb did not expect this to happen. He shouted hurriedly, "Wendy!"
At the same time, Eudora was a little relieved when she saw the police slowly closing in on them from the front. She realized that they were waiting for Caleb to take the bait. However, she suddenly noticed the huge vehicle in front of her had gone out of control and was swerving in her direction.
She could see it clearly because it was more obvious from where she was seated.
Almost instinctively, Eudora turned around and threw herself at Amos. A loud bang crashed behind her.
She felt a pang of pain coming from her back and she heard Amos calling her name. "Eudora..."
She wanted to tell him that she was fine but she could not seem to utter a word. Eudora then passed out.
On the other hand, Harley had never expected things to turn out like this. He almost broke down when he saw Amos' car.
"Quick! Call the ambulance!"
Harley immediately ran over to Amos' car as he fought a rising panic.
Half of Amos' car was crushed beyond recognition. Harley quickly peered in and he saw Amos banging the car door desperately. The door was not working because half of the car was smashed.
Amos's eyes were red and his hands were covered in blood. However, he continued to smash the door indifferently.
Harley quickly called someone over. "Over here, there's someone injured here!"
At the same time, Wendy was lying on the driver's seat and she could feel warm blood slowly dripping above her.
One drop, two drops.....
The droplets slowly formed into a stream of blood. She touched her head subconsciously, but her fingers found someone else's face instead.
It was Caleb. When she was turning the car around earlier, Caleb, who was standing not far away, suddenly yanked the door open with all his might and went back into the car.
He then shielded her from the impact with his body.
Wendy's mind went blank and she kept repeating in her head. Why?
Yes, why?
From the very beginning, it was obvious that Caleb was trying to deceive her when he approached her. Later, he took her with him because they were the same group of people. They belonged to the darkness.
The masked woman disappeared immediately after the basement case was solved. However, Caleb continued imprisoning her since.
He would hit her and torture her endlessly if she showed any sign of escaping. She thought hatred ran deep between them.
Besides, wasn't it just a few days ago when Caleb kept declaring that she was just his plaything?
Why was he willing to give his life up for a mere plaything?
"Caleb?" she suddenly shouted.
The person who was lying on her body stirred a little, but soon, the blood started flowing faster.
He inhaled sharply and swore.
"D*mn it, looks like you nearly got me killed this time! Well, I did owe you this much! If I ever meet you again in my next life, I hope that both of us would grow up in a peaceful and loving family. Then, if you call me big brother again, I will definitely not lie to you. Alright?"
Wendy was silent. They were surrounded by the police shortly after.
