Chapter 12 I Will Give You a Life
“Then what else do you want?”
“My father is already dead! We are divorced! Hank, how long do you want to pester me?” She raised her face, looking as stubborn as when she was at Creek Club.
“Back then, Drake Jones killed my parents. Now that he is dead, it is only one life for two lives.” The man’s voice was deep like he was sentencing her!
Hank pinched her chin so hard that her bones were popping, but Lyra did not say a word.
At this moment, Lyra seemed to understand something from Hank’s deep and disgusted eyes.
One life for two lives.
It turned out that she owed him a life.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll pay you back with my life, alright?” Her pale lips trembled as she forced herself not to shed a single tear. Her stubbornness even made Hank couldn’t help but reveal a trace of emotion.
Perhaps it was the hot blood that rushed into Lyra’s mind, or perhaps it was the extreme desperation that caused Lyra to lose confidence for a moment.
She walked past Hank’s shoulder and no one noticed a speeding van.
Hank’s body shook. By the time he reacted, it was already too slow. With a loud bang, the van collided with her.
The speed of the car plummeted, and with a harsh braking sound, the driver quickly got out of the car, facing a woman lying in blood.
“No, no, no! Someone call an ambulance!” The driver screamed.
He was in a hurry to take out his phone and call an ambulance when he was pushed away by a strong force.
Hank took three steps forward and crouched down to hug the woman who was bleeding. Her entire body exuded a cold aura.
He obviously did not expect that this woman’s toughness was far beyond his imagination.
“Chip, immediately drive to the hospital.”
In her daze, Lyra seemed to smell the faint scent of tobacco beside her. Accompanied by the man’s deep and commanding voice, his rough fingertips patted her face. “Lyra, wake up. You are not allowed to sleep.”
But she was really tired and sleepy. As long as she closed her eyes, she would see her father standing against the light and reaching out to her. “Lyra, daddy misses you.
