Chapter 299
Chapter 299
Catelyn noticed that the car Granny Atherton was in slowed down. Assuming that the driver had stopped, she moved to run toward the car.
Much to her bewilderment, the engine roared again as the car seemingly drove toward her. There was a layer of tinted frame on the window of the Bently, so she could not see into the car, but she could sense an icy, viscous stare directed at her, almost like the way a hunter would stare at his dying prey.
It had to be Lola. The driver had not expected Catelyn to stand her ground in the middle of the road, even when he sped up. His hands started shaking, and a thin layer of sweat gathered on his forehead as the car got closer to Catelyn.
Catelyn froze in place, unable to move as her feet felt extremely heavy. ‘Lola had the gall to run over me with Old Madam Atherton by her side? Or is this Old Madam Atherton’s command?’ she thought as her heart sank into her stomach.
Screech!
The driver steered the steering wheel. – Just as the car was about to race past Catelyn’s body, she felt a pair of strong arms around her waist from behind. Following the deafening sound of wind blowing by her ears, she fell to the ground, rolling. The rocks on the road scraped her arms, and blood started gushing out of the wounds. Catelyn’s rescuer held her up and nervously scanned her injuries.
Catelyn narrowed her eyes, and the sight of the man’s seductive features came into sight. With a lump forming in her throat, she sighed quietly, not knowing if she felt disappointed or glad. “It’s you…” With that, she closed her eyes and fell into darkness.
Edwin’s face tightened as he moved swiftly to lift her. The car nearly ran into Catelyn but had not caused much damage. Although the driver did not hit her, his eyes widened in fear as he spun his head to speak to Granny Atherton. “That… That man who just ran over seems to be Master Edwin.”
