My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 1310

Before they even breached the edge of the woods, Andrew abruptly yanked her down behind a massive, jagged boulder.

Without taking a second to catch her breath, Emily grabbed his shoulder and forcefully spun him around.

"Your back got sliced open, didn't it?"

She pressed her hand to his jacket, her fingers violently trembling.

In just those few chaotic minutes, the hemorrhage had aggressively worsened. He was soaked.

Andrew let out a soft breath. "Looks like it. I'm totally fine."

She delicately ran her fingers over the torn fabric and froze as she hit something rigid. It felt like a massive, jagged spike driven straight into his flesh.

The horrifying realization made her hands shake uncontrollably. She checked his arm next; the crude bandage she'd made had slowed the bleeding there, but the fabric was still damp.

"You're in this state, and you're still telling me you're fine," she hissed furiously.

She laid down the law. "We're done running. Your body is going to shut down."

There was absolutely no way she was ripping that spike out of his back—he'd bleed to death in minutes. Their only play now was to wait for his backup to find them.

Through the gloom, she saw him slowly turn his head to look at her.

Frowning, she glared at him, fully expecting him to argue. "Did you hear me? You sit down and don't move."

Trapped in a pitch-black forest, severely injured, with a squad of killers hunting them down, Andrew actually had the nerve to laugh.

"Emily, I really wish I had a light right now."

Emily pursed her lips. "What are you talking about?"
