Sylvia's POV:
Cherry's voice instantly gained Shawn's attention, and the people who surrounded Blair sprinted towards me.
I anxiously tried to break free from Cherry's grip, but she wouldn't let me go.
"Please take me with you! Don't leave me here!" Cherry exclaimed as an endless stream of tears flowed down her cheeks.
Noticing that the others were about to surround me, I felt agitated. Cherry was an arrogant person, but she didn't deserve to die. What her father had done to my mother actually had nothing to do with her. She shouldn't be dragged in this mess.
We had similar experiences, but I was lucky enough to have Rufus back then. He was the one who pulled me out of the abyss. Now that I had a chance to pay it forward, I wanted to help her. "Sylvia, run!" Blair shouted, still desperately fighting against the soldiers to buy me more time. Seeing how desperate Cherry looked, I clenched my jaw and extended my arm for her to take. "The only thing I can do is to take you out of the pack. What you're going to do afterward is none of my concern. You have to make a living by yourself."
Cherry's eyes lit up as tears streamed down her cheeks. "Thank you so much. Leaving the pack is
enough for me. I promise to never bother you again after that."
Then she firmly held my hand, fearing that I would change my mind and push her away.
I grunted as I mustered all my strength to pull her back up. Maybe I'd used too much force, I stumbled back a few steps and Cherry not only got up but also fell into my arms.
Suddenly, a silver light flashed before my eyes, and I instinctively shifted my gaze toward it. That was when I saw a dagger in Cherry's hand.
I wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. She had managed to stab the dagger in my chest, causing me to cover my wound and stagger backward.
