“Mable, watch out!”
Blair’s nervous shout suddenly came from behind Mable.
Before she could turn around, a strong force tackled her to the ground.
A gunshot rang out the moment they fell, breaking the silent night.
“Boss!”
Hugh reacted quickly and jumped out of the car. He drew his gun and aimed it in the direction from which the gunshot came.
Bang, bang!
Gunshots were heard again.
Blair held Mable and rolled on the lawn to dodge the bullet.
When the bodyguards in the villa heard the commotion, they rushed out in a line and formed a circle around Blair and Mable with guns in their hands.
“There’s an ambush! Over there on the roof!” Hugh pointed at the isolated bungalow opposite the villa.
A group of bodyguards aimed in the direction he said and opened fire.
After a round of intense firing, the roof of the building went silent.
“Let go!”
Mable pushed the man hugging her tightly in his arms but heard a muffled grunt.
Her heart thumped. “Blair! Are you hurt?”
Blair looked up, and his jaw tensed. He fixed his gaze on her and asked, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.”
Mable wanted to help him up but felt something wet as soon as she touched his shoulder.
“You’ve been shot!”
Blood flowed out from Blair’s back shoulder, staining his clothes red in no time. It even bled through Mable’s pajamas.
Blair nodded slightly but still looked relaxed. His head hung down weakly…
“As long as you’re fine…”
A weight fell on Mable’s shoulder.
“Blair, Blair! Wake up! You’ll be fine! I won’t let you die!”
Mable felt a stabbing pain in her heart. She pressed down on his bleeding wound, shouting in panic, “Hugh, drive to the hospital!”
