Chapter 1081 Do You Have the Guts to Kill Me?
After leaving the doctor's office, Alicia stopped in her tracks and looked dazedly at the examination report in her hands. It showed that she was pregnant, which was a fact she could hardly accept.
She furrowed her brows with a conflicted expression. This child shouldn't have come, but it is a life. Can I be so selfish as to snatch its right to come to this world?
While she was in her thoughts, a person suddenly covered her mouth with one hand and bound her with the other before lugging her to the stairwell.
She struggled fiercely and tried to shout out loud to attract others' attention. However, since her mouth was covered, she could only let out a weak sound. The stairwell's door soon closed in front of her.
"Calm down, Alicia. It's me, your dearest cousin," Gale said grimly and tried to brainwash her. "Alicia, have you forgotten about how much I doted on you in the past? Although I've made some mistakes, I've never thought about harming you. Now, many people are trying to catch me, and I have nowhere to go. Please help me for the last time. If you agree to it, just dip your head. I'll release you so that you won't suffer any longer."
Alicia struggled for a bit and realized she was no match for him. As such, she calmed down and nodded.
"That's the right kind of attitude, Alicia. You know I trust you. I'll release you now, but you mustn't shout. Although my gun was taken away by those from Smith Co., I still have some money to buy a knife. I have sufficient time to punish a traitor before others come over."
After warning the woman, Gale slowly let her go.
Just as he expected, Alicia didn't shout. After regaining her freedom, she moved away to widen the gap between him and greedily inhaled some fresh air.
Just as Gale was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Alicia suddenly fished out a gun from her bag and pointed it at the man. "Raise your hands right now!"
After the assassination attempt against Paul previously, they gave Alicia a gun to protect herself. She didn't expect she would use it so soon to deal with a relentless Gale.
"Bullets are lethal, Alicia. Don't shoot me accidentally." Gale raised his hands and stared fixedly at her gun.
"Mind your own business. Although I'm naive, I'm not a fool. You can't fool me easily. If you had doted on me, you wouldn't have repeatedly tried to kill my brother. You treated me well because you wanted to earn our trust for your vested interests. You're just a hypocrite. Get lost! I don't want to see you anymore!" Alicia didn't intend to cross the line, so she let the man go.
However, Gale inched closer to her and said, "Alicia, I know you too well. You're a kind-hearted person, so do you have the guts to kill me?"
The stairwell wasn't spacious, to begin with, and the shortening gap between them unnerved Alicia. Just as the man was about to reach her, she decisively opened fire.
Gale didn't expect her to shoot, so he instinctively leaped away and rolled down the stairs.
Alicia rushed over and kept shooting. Since it was her first time using a gun, there was no accuracy to speak of. Gale dodged the bullets and jumped down the stairs to run away.
Upon confirming that the man was gone, Alicia rushed out of the stairwell and kept her gun in her bag. While holding her weapon tightly, she left the hospital.
Nonetheless, Gale was only hiding in a nearby place. After she was gone, he returned to the hospital and barged into the doctor's office. The doctor was the one who examined Alicia. He pressed his knife against the woman's neck and made sure she stayed silent.
"What kind of illness does the Cittadelian woman suffer from? Tell me everything, or I'll kill you and your family members!"
"She's pregnant," the doctor replied briefly.
"She has a child?" Gale laughed.
The child has come at the right time!
…
When Jamie finished getting prepared in the morning, he was ready to leave.
"It's me, Danny! Release me now! My arm is going to break!" Danny cried and repeatedly tapped the couch with his other hand, looking like a seal on the beach. The sight was comical.
