My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 213

That was the first thing Sophia could think about; she was a well-trained assassin too!

Stanley was not an ordinary person either, for the Fletchers were not easy targets. Just as the blade was about to stab into his heart, he stretched out his foot and hooked the bag which he had been carrying on his back to the front, stopping the blade just in time. The two picture frames in his bag had saved his life.

“Quick, run!” As he struggled underneath the assassin, Stanley shouted at Sophia loudly at the same time.

However, as soon as he finished shouting, the body of the female assassin convulsed; the blade in her hand fell to the floor, and her eyes rolled back as she fell down beside Stanley.

Stanley was still in shock; he didn’t expect Sophia to be so bold even though she was just a nanny. But then again, the nannies from his uncle’s household were very different from other nannies.

Suddenly, he was overwhelmed by a huge sense of danger. Almost immediately, he noticed a red spot on Sophia’s forehead. Snipers were still around!

Within 0.1 seconds, he hurled his bag into the air. Stanley, who was still laying on the floor, stretched out his leg and tripped her deliberately. Being caught off balance, Sophia staggered forward unsteadily and fell onto Stanley.

Bang! Following a loud bang, the bag that was hurled into the air burst open with a gunshot. A bullet, which was supposed to hit Sophia’s brain, deviated slightly upward away from its original path because of the sudden appearance of the bag. Moreover, Sophia had been tripped and coincidently fell forward. The bullet narrowly missed its target and barely brushed past her brain.

A person standing not far away behind Sophia became the unlucky person as he got shot instantly!

The shot was fired from a gun which had been modified with a silencer, making it completely silent when the bullet was fired. However, the unlucky person who got shot in the thigh lay down on the floor and wailed in pain.

“There’s a murderer on the loose!” he screamed.

The whole square was in a total chaos following the scream! The square was very crowded with people walking around in the first place; now that something had happened, people panicked and a stampede ensued at the square!

Stanley got Sophia on her feet and they started to run.

Sophia didn’t expect that there were snipers hiding in the dark too! Then, is their target… Stanley?

Stanley was a Fletcher indeed. He had served in the army before, so he knew the snipers were still hiding in the dark. Besides, there was probably more than one sniper around. He dragged Sophia along, carefully blending into the crowd as they ran.

The ground was full of things falling off from people on the run in panic, which included scarves, hats and so on. The swift and observant Stanley picked up two hats from the floor quickly—one for Sophia and another one for himself.

The snipers were watching them closely from above. Now that everyone was running around in panic, the only thing the snipers could differentiate them from other people were their heads.

Sophia put on the hat and removed her down jacket. The jacket was bright red in color, and it was too striking.

“Get inside the shop!”

Stanley took Sophia and dashed into a café beside the square. Since they didn’t know how many snipers were hiding in the dark, they would become the snipers’ target soon if they were exposed outside in the square for too long.

There were many people who had dashed into the building along with them. All of a sudden, the whole square became a chaotic mess.
