The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 516

The driver glanced at the child she was cradling in her arms, and the cloth wrapped around her forehead soaked with fresh blood. Clearly, she was injured.

Behind her, an elderly woman and three other children were waiting.

All in all, six people.

The driver didn’t open the door. Although he sympathized with their predicament, he couldn’t take them.

The driver said, “My colleague just called me. There’s a strict check on cabs and buses up ahead. I can’t fit the six of you. You should wait for a bus.”

With that, the driver coldly drove off.

“Hey!” Thalassa called out to the retreating taxi, only able to watch helplessly as it drove away.

She was so anxious that her breathing quickened, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

Elowen, unable to bear the pain, was still crying.

Each sob pulled at Thalassa’s heart-strings, causing her immense distress and heartache.

Were the checks up ahead Lysander's doing?

His methods were always suffocating, swift and decisive.

But Elowen was seriously injured. They couldn’t wait.

A van was approaching from the front, and its headlights glared brightly.

Thalassa quickly waved her hand, urgently flagging down the vehicle.

The van was private, and not intended to carry passengers. But the driver was kind-hearted.

Seeing someone waving him down, with a child in her arms who looked unwell, he stopped.

Thalassa quickly approached and said in a shaky voice, “Sir, my daughter accidentally bumped her head and she’s bleeding a lot. Can you please take us to the hospital? I beg you.”

“Please, we need your help. Saving a life is more important than anything else. Our child is so young…” Evelyn pleaded, tears streaming down her face.
