The woman in the corner seemed to hear the commotion behind her, because she looked back over her shoulder and saw Laney pummeling towards her.
She leaped to her feet and was about to run away, but Laney got to her first. Laney grabbed her by the coat and tried to yank off her mask.
The woman in black gritted her teeth and fought Laney off.
Laney was taken aback. This woman in black turned out to be quite strong and moved nimbly. Obviously, she was a trained fighter.
Although Laney was a better fighter than the woman in black, she was pregnant now.
The two fought and Laney was about to gain the upper hand. She was about to snatch the mask off of the woman in black when suddenly...
A dining cart came rushing towards them! Laney had no choice but to jump backwards. The woman in black seized the opportunity to push Laney away and then bolted out of the restaurant.
Just now, when Laney rushed to the corner of the restaurant, Janet tried to run after her.
But before she could help, she saw that the woman in black had pushed Laney, who then fell heavily to the ground.
Shocked, Janet rushed over to her side.
Laney curled into a ball and covered her belly, her face pale as a ghost. She used to be good at fighting, but now she was pregnant and had become much slower and weaker.
"Don't let her get away!" Laney cried with difficulty, pointing at the direction the woman in black escaped.
She had come so close to catching her!
The female bodyguard was about to rush out to chase after the woman in black, but Janet stopped her. "Laney's bleeding! We have to get her to the hospital now!"
The female bodyguard hesitated. Her job was to protect Janet and catch the person who was trying to hurt her.
"Hurry! Her life might be in danger! I can't carry her by myself!" Janet couldn't help but raise her voice at the hesitant bodyguard. "We have to take her to the hospital right now. Nothing is more important than my best friend's life!"
