My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 143

Lily leaped forward before Neil finished his sentence, disappearing from his sight in an instant.

Stunned, he stared blankly in the direction where she had vanished. What had he just seen? Had she just literally whooshed past him?

Elijah, who had been trailing after Lily, turned grim. He swiftly ordered his subordinates, "Quick! Go help them at the city gate."

Seeing how everyone had left, Neil felt at a loss. What should he do now? What about Loid? Should he take him to the hospital?

Just as he was struggling for resolve, Lily reappeared. "Take him to the hospital, but don't touch the needles. Operate on him and remove the bullets. I'll take care of the rest once I'm back."

Bolting toward the city gate, Lily suddenly realized that her concern had been unnecessary. She was 20 minutes away from the city gate.

She was fast, but she simply couldn't outrun a car. Daniel wasn't around either, but she learned that he had parked the car at the parking lot after she called him.

With Neil's intelligence, she figured he'd probably stand there for the entire night. By then, Loid would've bled to death. Thus, she had no choice but to turn back and give him specific instructions.

Neil concurred in a daze.

Daniel had also just driven up from a distance. He recognized Lily and Loid's car in a heartbeat. He exited the car, but Lily dragged him away promptly just as he was about to inquire about Neil's whereabouts.

…

Shaun had been desperately battling the army of the underground forces at the city gate. He had run out of bullets, and only five of the guards at the city gate were left standing.

They were utterly exhausted, but only half of the underground forces were destroyed.
