Chapter 447
In a heartbeat, Marguerite’s body was trembling, her legs shaking.
She approached the car, her hands trembling as she reached out to touch Frederick’s shoulder, “Fred…Frederick, what happened? Wake up, wake up…”
Frederick did not react, and all that awaited her was a deathly silence.
Suddenly, Marguerite’s head was buzzing, and she pushed Frederick again with more force..
“Frederick, don’t scare me. Wake up, wake up!”
Her voice, tinged with a sob, had scarcely ceased when Frederick rolled towards her.
Taken aback, Marguerite instinctively extended her arms to catch him, only to realize he was soaked through.
Touching him, she realized he was covered in blood!
Her heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at Hayes, only to find the little guy already crying desperately, “Shot…shot…save him…”
Shot? Frederick had been ambushed? Who would dare to ambush Frederick? Did they want to die?
Under the moonlight, Frederick’s face was deathly pale, his breathing heavy and erratic.
Marguerite forced herself to calm down, mustering all her strength to drag Frederick from the driver’s seat. She then shouldered his body, stumbling her way into the house. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Frederick, being almost six feet tall, was a hefty weight.
Marguerite was petite and could barely support him, but she gritted her teeth and managed to maneuver him onto the bed.
Under the light, Frederick’s white shirt was thoroughly stained with blood, the crimson glaringly vivid.
The smell of blood was pungent and unbearable, and Marguerite could not help but shed tears of distress.
Hayes, standing by helplessly, tugged at Marguerite’s nightgown, crying so hard he could barely speak, “Save…save him…”
Marguerite had never experienced such a situation, and she was so panicked that her hands wouldn’t stop shaking. But she couldn’t afford to lose her composure now, for if she did, Hayes would be even more lost.
So, Marguerite clenched her hands into fists, steadying herself enough to regain some stability.
“Hayes, go get a basin of hot water right now, and the first aid kit! Hurry!”
Hayes quickly cleaned his tears, the streaks of blood on his face making a long trail.
Without any hesitation, he turned and ran off. Now, she had to remove the bullet immediately!
Marguerite knelt beside Frederick, but she couldn’t find his wound.
She carefully turned Frederick’s body, shocked to find the gunshot wound on his back shoulder!
The dark wound was bleeding profusely, the flesh on his shoulder a gruesome sight. Marguerite had no idea how deeply the bullet was lodged!
Damn it! What was she supposed to do to get the bullet out?!
In this dire situation, Marguerite had no choice but to seek Chuck’s help.
She immediately dialed Chuck’s number, her voice choked with sobs as she stuttered, “Frederick… Frederick’s in trouble, please come to the old house! Quick!”
f
Chuck, who was resting, jolted up from his bed and asked quickly, “Marguerite, don’t panic, tell me slowly, what happened?”
“There’s no time! Frederick’s been shot! But I don’t know how to remove the bullet! What should I do? I’m so scared…if Frederick dies, I don’t want to live either…”
