Apart from the three people lying in the front yard, seven others were lying on the floor in the room. At this moment, Nicholas showed up and stood in front of Sophia. “Mom, please don’t go in yet.”
As such, Sophia decided to help move those three people in the front yard aside, which took up a lot of energy. Since Hale’s head was bleeding, he was leaning on the wall for Nicholas to help him stop the bleeding while he commented, “She’s a super killer. I can’t fight her. It seems like only Abel or Boss can take her down.”
All of a sudden, a loud noise came from inside the house. Around ten minutes later, they heard the woman’s beastly growl. Right after that, Michael rushed out of the house to see if Sophia was safe. Upon seeing Sophia, he let out a sigh of relief.
Then, when Hale and Sophia walked into the living room, they saw that the army overcoat had already been stripped off the woman, who was tied to a pillar and growling as she looked at them.
At this moment, that woman was still growling like an animal; she lacked any semblance of a human being. Where did she come from?
Turning to Michael’s bloody hand, Sophia realized that he was badly injured. Right now, both of his fists were bleeding profusely. The sight of this saddened her heart. Just as Sophia was about to approach Michael, that woman suddenly growled again. As she growled, she struggled vigorously and snapped the rope right away.
Upon seeing this, everyone there was terrified. They found that rope somewhere in the Murray Residence, and even though it had been around for a while, it still should not have snapped that easily. This homeless woman… was truly scary!
After snapping the rope, the woman jumped down from the pillar and stormed out like wind as she ran toward Sophia, who was standing at the door. Seeing that, Sophia retreated, subconsciously heading toward Michael for help.
“Michael Fletcher—”
The woman was moving at inhumane speeds. Even though Michael’s response was also quick, that woman was already standing in front of Sophia in a split second and she extended her hands that were like claws toward Sophia’s neck…
“Stop!” Michael howled subconsciously. Since those seven people could not take her down, what more could Sophia do. The woman was truly a super killer. How on earth could Sophia’s tender neck withstand her attack?
At that particular moment, Sophia was so frightened that she closed her eyes. Right after that, a breeze of bitterly cold wind wrapped around her neck. She expected to be dead meat in the next second, but she was surprised that the suffocating force did not choke her.
With her eyes closed, Sophia seemingly heard a hoarse voice that was calling a name. “Michael… Fletcher.”
She opened her eyes and noticed that the woman was still in an offensive gesture—her hands had already reached her neck. However, she did not go on to grab Sophia’s neck, and in a confused state, she actually started speaking.
Due to her proximity with that woman, Sophia was able to listen attentively and clearly in that highly intense moment. “Michael Fletcher… Michael Fletcher…”
At the same time, Michael jumped into the scene and came pouncing on that woman before they both rolled on the floor several times. After much struggling, he finally pinned her down. Just as he was about to deal her a blow, he saw the human look on that woman’s face. All of a sudden, she had turned from a beast into a human as she looked him in the eye, and the ferocious look on her face had disappeared. Conversely, she let out a rather thoughtless smile as she reached out her dirty, trembling hand as if she was trying to touch his face.
Her hoarse voice sounded out in Michael’s ears. “Michael Fletcher… M-Michael F-Fletcher… Mikey…”
She then smiled idly while tears ran down her cheeks.
Seeing that look on her face, he began to loosen his tightly clenched fists. At this moment, he quiveringly reached out toward her face and tucked away her disheveled hair, using her tears and sweat to wipe off the dirt on her face. At that moment, he saw… a face that looked exactly like his.
Widening his eyes, his quivering hands gently touched her face as he saw a reflection of his own face in that woman’s eyes.
In the next second, Michael held that woman in his arms and began crying in his hoarse voice while seemingly mumbling something.
“You’re alive… You’re alive… Celie!”
Sophia was stunned.
Celie…
Is that woman Michael’s elder sister, Celine Fletcher?
She’s still alive!
What the f*ck! Celine Fletcher is back?!
That unbeatable woman came back!
