“Ms. Wand, I…”
“What, a broken leg wasn’t enough for you? Do you want to lose your life this time?”
Sasha’s eyes were filled with an icy-cold hostility as she stared at the Jetroinian woman limping before her.
Akiko shuddered when she saw her face and recalled how she was dragged away to have her leg broken.
“Out of my way!” Sasha shouted impatiently.
Akiko simply stared at her nervously before tossing her crutches aside and kneeling down before her.
“Ms. Wand, please let me say what I came to say! I promise I’ll leave right after! She’ll kill me if I don’t deliver the message!” Akiko begged, while bowing with her head down on the ground.
As it turned out, Yancy wasn’t able to locate Sasha after the latter cut off all means of communications, so she sent Akiko, who was still in Avenport instead.
Sasha was livid with rage, but she saw the attention they were receiving from the surrounding crowd and agreed to hear her out.
“Fine… What did you want to tell me?”
“Really? You’ll hear me out?” Akiko looked up excitedly in response. “Well, it’s nothing much, really. Mrs. Tsurka wanted me to tell you she sent your family something. She said you should go look if you have the time.”
“What did you say? What the hell did she send my family? What’s this b*tch up to this time? Were those two bullets not enough for her? Does she want me to put another one in her?”
The expression on Sasha’s face turned grim instantly, and she looked like she wanted to rip Yancy to shreds right then and there.
After all, there was no way she could possibly keep her cool knowing her dad was in danger.
Unfortunately, Akiko was just a messenger who didn’t know all that much.
“I… I don’t know… All she said was for you to rush over as soon as possible…”
That last sentence struck Sasha like a bolt from the blue. She threw her grocery basket aside as she ran out of the supermarket.
Oh, Dad… Please be all right!
She gave Sabrina a call and had her sister-in-law look after the kids at home while she drove toward the Wand residence as quickly as she could.
