Chapter 1298 You Haven’t Changed
The woman looked terrified and the grip on her child tightened. It looked somewhat realistic but Jewel didn’t want to interfere. Even if they weren’t the assassins who were pursuing her, she was still in danger herself and couldn’t save the woman.
The man had probably spotted her and suddenly shouted, “Mavis Bender, stop where you are!”
The woman in front of Jewel looked scared and quickened her pace as she fled with her child. The woman looked back as she ran which made her stumble, and Jewel bumped into her even though Jewel had deliberately avoided her. The collision made the woman fall backward uncontrollably, flinging her child more than 2 meters high which made the child burst into terrified tears. Jewel knew well that she should be on guard against anyone who came close to her, but she couldn’t just ignore the child and frantically reached out to catch the child.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed past. Although Jewel only caught a brief glance of it, she could discern that it was a steel wire fired by Blood Rose.
Olivia’s frantic voice came through Jewel’s earpiece. “Watch out!”
Jewel knew she had fallen into a trap since she knew how powerful the wire was. It could pierce such a thick concrete wall, much less her body. However, she couldn’t just let the small child actually fall down since it would definitely result in death.
She might be able to avoid the wire.
She stretched her arms backward and curved her waist forward to form an arch which was at the end of her physical limitations to avoid the wire, making the claws of the wire brush past her. She didn’t even know that her body was that flexible.
Just as she was thanking the fact that she could save the child without getting hurt by the wire, Blood Rose’s wire fired toward her again at a faster speed. Jewel had just caught the child and didn’t have the time to catch her balance.
At that very instant, she saw a figure flash past. The wire changed direction at once, its claws embedding into the wall.
Jewel looked over to see Alex, who had quickly thrown a dart at Blood Rose which was the one Phantom had used. Even though Blood Rose was alert enough that the dart did not hit her, it allowed Jewel to avoid the wire.
Alex headed toward her and looked at her with a shaken expression. “Are you okay, Jewel?”
