Chapter 2274 Live Well
Francesca turned her head to look at Sloan as she ran away. Sloan gave her a charming smile before sliding down onto the ground with his back against the wall. Then, he aimed his guns in the direction of the pursuing soldiers.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! After a round of gunshots, Sloan sacrificed himself to slow down the chasing soldiers. The young man’s life ended instantly in the place that held Francesca captive.
“Sloan!” Francesca’s screams were full of anguish. She wanted to return to save Sloan, but Layla refused to let go of her grip on her. “Listen to me, Francesca. We’ve got to go.” Anxious, Layla pushed her forward. “Sam will lead you out of here.”
“Ms. Layla, we will leave together.” “I can’t walk. I will only slow you down if I tag along.” “But…”
“No buts,” Layla stopped her anxiously. “Zolt, Morty, and Sloan all sacrificed themselves for you. If you cannot leave this place in one piece, all of our efforts will go to waste. Run!”
“I would rather die with you than watch something happen to you before my eyes!” Guilt had eaten up Francesca when she watched Sloan die before her. She couldn’t bear to see anything bad happen to Layla now.
“You’re not alone. You are with child, so you’ve got to think about your baby!” Angered by Francesca, Layla pushed her forward forcefully. “Run!”
“Ms. Layla…” Francesca continued. Layla responded by slapping her. “Go now!”
Francesca’s body trembled as she cried, but she listened to Layla and left.
“Francesca!” Layla shouted behind her. “Live well!”
Tears streamed down Francesca’s face as she ran forward with all her might.
I don’t understand. Why do they have to kill the innocent? I don’t understand why these people have to go after others’ assets when they already have so much power. I don’t understand why the world is like this. This is eating me! I’m just a regular doctor. How did I end up in this conflict and cost the life of my beloved Ms. Layla? What did I do wrong?
Francesca’s weak body wavered and almost fell to the ground. At that moment, she saw no hope in this world.
The woman was so caught up in her mind that she didn’t even notice the footsteps getting louder behind her.
“I’ve already told you that you won’t be able to escape, so why did you even bother to try?” mocked a female voice.
A female military officer caught up to Francesca with a group of soldiers behind her. They proceeded to point their guns at Francesca.
Francesca heard Layla’s familiar voice telling her, “Francesca, live well!”
