Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1259
The moment Connor hit the ground, he grunted, the sudden jolt pulling at his wound. He barely flinched, just kept moving, picking up speed. There was no time to lose.
Finally, after what felt like forever, the people chasing them dropped out of sight. Connor only let himself breathe when the white building hidden deep in the pine trees came into view. Relief washed over him. They’d made it. Garrett was here.
He kicked open the lab door, cradling Lydia in his arms, and rushed straight down to the underground pharmacy. Garrett had been waiting for them, but he clearly hadn’t expected this.
“What happened? Lydia!” Garrett’s voice was sharp with worry.
“Garrett…” Lydia’s voice was so soft it was almost gone.
Connor tried to steady himself, but his voice came out rough. “We were ambushed. Lydia’s been poisoned. She needs the antidote, now.”
Garrett nodded without hesitation. “You got here just in time. The third version of the antidote is ready. I just finished testing it.”
Connor’s relief was obvious. “Thank God.”
All that effort, all those sleepless nights, and finally, there was hope.
He laid Lydia gently onto the examination table. Garrett hurried to the fridge, pulled out a vial glowing with a faint blue light, and got to work. As the cold medicine flowed into her veins, Lydia’s eyes fluttered. Some of her strength was coming back. She reached out, searching for Connor’s hand, and when she found it, she realized his fingers were even colder than hers.
“You idiot…” Her voice was barely a whisper, but there was affection in it. “Get the bullet out of you.”
Connor bent down and kissed her forehead. “I’m fine. If you’re tired, close your eyes. I’ll be here.”
The antidote worked fast. Sleepiness washed over Lydia and she nodded, letting her eyes drift shut.
Connor carried her to the lounge, settling her onto a soft couch before heading back to the lab. The lights overhead were bright, almost harsh, as Garrett carefully removed the bullet from Connor’s arm.
“Do you know who sent them?” Garrett asked quietly.
Connor’s eyes narrowed. “Two different groups showed up tonight. One was after Lydia, the other was after me.”
Garrett let that sink in, shaking his head. When they were apart, things were dangerous enough. Together, it was twice as bad.
After finishing up with Connor’s wound, Garrett spoke up. “It’s too dangerous here. Take Lydia home. She needs real rest. With the antidote in her system, she has to recover so it works properly.”
Connor nodded. “I will. What about you?”

Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
