A Cue for Love novel Chapter 1047

Chapter 1047 One For Two

The mall dissolved into chaos after the two loud gunshots. A middle-aged man covered in blood ran toward the outside as he screamed, “Run! There’s a robbery! Run, or you’re going to die!”

The defenseless people began fleeing upon hearing that. Natalie’s first response was to leave the place as well, but she saw a boy about eleven or twelve stumbling toward the outside, having been shot in the stomach earlier.

She went to him and said, “Don’t move. You’ve been shot, but I don’t think it hit the vitals, so it’s not life-threatening.”

However, the boy shoved her hand away and uttered determinedly, “I want to save my mommy and my sister. They’ve been taken by those bad guys. They’re going to die if I don’t get the cops to save them!”

The boy was not crying, but he sounded as though he was on the verge of tears.

“You’ve bled a lot. If you don’t stop bleeding soon, you’re going to die before you even find the cops.” Natalie grabbed the boy’s arm and carried him to a remote corner.

“Let go of me! Let go of me right now!”

Natalie ignored the boy’s struggles as she studied his wound again. Once she was certain that it was not a fatal shot, she took out her menstrual pad and pressed it against his wound.

“You’ll still have to get the bullet out through surgery, but things are not going well here. Stay right here, and once the situation is less chaotic, stand up and get help from someone. Got it?”

The boy knew that Natalie was doing it for his sake, but he could not stay calm when he thought about how his mother and his sister had been taken away by the criminals.

“I can’t! My mommy and sister aren’t safe yet. I have to save them!”

Natalie held him down by his shoulders and said to him solemnly, “Stay here. I’ll go save your mommy and sister.”

“Really?” the boy asked with uncertainty.
