Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1177

Chapter 1177 Bait

She remained dazed for a long while, for they were really no ordinary people.

“Boohoo…”

The disturbance was significant enough to cause the previously slumbering Jaena to rouse in her mother’s arms. At just three months old, the child started to bawl after being startled.

Sabrina quickly suppressed the tremendous pain she felt in her face when she heard those cries. She spat the blood in her mouth onto the ground and held her daughter close.

“Hush, baby. Mommy’s here.”

Though her mouth was still bleeding, her focus was directed toward the baby in her arms instead.

The sight of that prompted nefarious designs on the child from those people once more. With his eyes narrowed, that man who attacked Sabrina pounced like a leopard while her attention was diverted and came right for the kid.

Hiss!

Pow!

Sabrina pulled the baby back in the nick of time and narrowly avoided the dagger that threatened to slit her throat.

Then, a gunshot rang out.

A spiral of blood spurted from the body of that dagger-wielding assailant, who stiffened at once. Seconds later, he crumbled into an untidy heap right at Sabrina’s feet.

“Mario!”

The entire arcade went silent in an instant.

With her baby clutched tightly, Sabrina stared blankly at the corpse next to her without flinching.

Who did that? Could it be that he’s here?

The very notion of that caused the color to drain from the face of the already discomfited woman once more.

Shortly after that man’s untimely demise, a series of clicking heels approached adagio. Those footsteps reminded her of a certain someone, prompting her to cast her gaze quickly behind herself.

“Mr. Duffy!”

It’s not him!
