Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 149

Tom was in the driver's seat. He did not notice anything as he was busy on his phone. Everleigh's right hand was holding the handle of the scalpel. She pulled it out silently from the gap of the seats. Amidst the roaring waves, the moon shone dimly, exposing the cold wilderness.

Back then, in the first human body anatomy class in medical school, everyone threw up violently, with no exceptions. Operating on a human corpse was different from operating on an animal.

Unlike other students in the class, Everleigh was the first one to re- enter the lab after vomiting. She was also the first to touch the corpse.

That moment was also when she clearly knew stabbing which part of the human body would cause pain the most without being fatal.

A cold light flashed in the car. "Ah!" A man shrieked.

In the driver's seat, Tom covered his lower abdomen and stared at Everleigh in disbelief. His other hand grabbed her wrist tightly and blocked her second stab.

"B*tch!" The kidnapper yelled at Everleigh angrily, twisting her hand behind her back.

Everleigh shrieked and was pushed to the back seat.

With a clang, the scalpel fell under the driver's seat and landed at the kidnapper's feet.

A man's strength was different from a woman's. When women struggled against kidnappers or r*pists, their efforts to attack were futile.

The kidnapper was in so much agony that he had no time to think about anything else. He looked down at his injury and cursed at Everleigh.

"B*tch, you're asking for it. If you don't want to live, I'll gladly do the honors! I'll let you die here with this brat!"

Meanwhile, Everleigh's face turned pale. She was so shocked that sweat began to drip from her neck. She glanced at the kidnapper, then she opened the door at lightning speed, holding Hansen in her arms and escaped.

"Stop!" Tom got out of the car and caught up with them with one hand on his wound.

Everleigh didn't even turn her head. She held Hansen in her arms and ran into the night. All she was thinking about was to run. The faster she ran, the higher the chances of them surviving were.

"Stop, you b*tch!"

As she reached a huge reef, Everleigh stopped on the beach. Looking at the man's figure in the dark night, her heart sank.

She immediately turned around to run in a different direction, but Tom, panting, caught up with her, shouting, "Where can you run to now, b*tch?l" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Tom covered his lower abdomen with one hand and pointed at her with the other. The moonlight reflected on his fierce face. It was absolutely terrifying.

Everleigh took a step back with Hansen in her arms, but she lost her balance and fell.

As she screamed, a pair of arms reached out in the darkness and held her firmly. There was a sense of familiarity in the embrace. A strong voice of a man came above her, but his breath was not very stable. "Are you okay?"

Everleigh was startled. For a moment, she thought it was a dream.

She had always dreamed of her waiting for him to come to her rescue in her times of need. However, he failed to arrive on time and her nightmare consumed her. Then, she would wake up with cold sweats.

"Who are you? Where did you come from? Don't meddle in our business. I'm teaching my wife and children a lesson!"

Tom's voice came from the opposite side. He didn't even blink as he lied. He was obviously very experienced in this.

However, Theodore was triggered by what he said.

Theodore steadied Everleigh. He, a 1.87-metertall man, left an elongated shadow on the beach and stood in front of Everleigh and Hansen.

"Tell me, who is she to you?" Theodore looked coldly at Tom. His voice was not loud; even the sea breeze was overpowering his voice, yet his chilling aura was able to make people shudder.

Tom shuddered and took a step back, but he braced himself and said, "Who are you? Mind your own business or else!"

The kidnapper pulled out a dagger from his waist. Under the moonlight, the tip of the dagger gleamed with cold light.

Everleigh's eyes tightened as she reminded Theodore, "Be careful."

"It's fine." Theodore glanced at her from the corner of his eye and said calmly, "You guys can leave first. The car is parked behind. Once you're in the car, lock the door and wait for the police."

Everleigh was in shock. She gritted her teeth and answered, "Okay, be careful."

She was still carrying the child. Even if she didn't care about herself, she had to take care of Hansen's safety.

Theodore's car was parked on the road by the sea. The black car on the uninhabited beach was a haven. The moment she saw the car, Everleigh darted towards it with Hansen in her arms.

The door was unlocked, and the key was also in the car. This was how anxious he was when he got down from the car.

Everleigh carried Hansen to the back seat and locked the car door. She finally heaved a sigh of relief as she held onto the car key, "Hansen, it's alright now. You can open your eyes."

This kid did not open his eyes from the moment he was asked to close them. No matter what happened or whatever he heard, he only hugged himself like a quiet kitten in Everleigh's arms.

In the car, Everleigh turned the lights on and dimmed them slightly. She checked Hansen's pulse to make sure it was normal. Then, she fastened the seat belt for Hansen, climbed from the backseat to the driver's seat and started the car.

"Hansen, sit tight and fasten your seat belt. Close your eyes if you're afraid," Everleigh said.

"Alright. I'm not afraid."

Everleigh glanced at the kid in the backseat of the car from the rearview mirror and slowly stepped on the gas pedal.

She couldn't leave Theodore alone.

The black car sped towards the beach from the highway. The undeveloped beach was filled with sand and gravel, and the car was constantly shaking. All Everleigh was hoping for was for Theodore to be okay.

The beach was dead silent. Everleigh could hardly remember where she came from. The surrounding environment was exactly the same, and there was no way for her to navigate herself.

The car sank into the beach. No matter how hard she stepped on the gas, the engine rumbled as the wheels were only rolling in the sand. The car was stuck.

"Hansen, wait for me in the car. I'll be back soon."

"Alright."

Everleigh locked the door, hid the key next to the wheel, and took out a wrench from the trunk as a weapon. Then, she rushed into the night, vaguely following her memory.

The seaside was extremely quiet, and there was only the sound of the waves and sea breeze.

She followed along the shore for a long time but did not see anyone. The surrounding reefs were far too similar. Everleigh was slowly losing confidence, and her fingers that were holding the wrench were getting numb.

"Theodore!" She shouted into the distance. At first, she was worried that she might alert the kidnappers. After calling out twice, she didn't hear any response. Her voice grew louder.

"Theodore..."

She froze as she heard footsteps behind her. She grabbed the wrench firmly and turned around, "Who is it?"
