You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1869

Chapter 1869: An Unexpected Ending

"No, no!" Felix's anguished cry echoed through the forest.

The sound of the helicopter approaching startled the birds around, causing them to fly into the sky. The crows formed a dark cloud, as if a black cloud was pressing down on the city.

Luther acted swiftly and quickly restrained Felix. If Vicki was in danger, Felix must not get involved anymore. It was Vicki's own choice, and neither of them could stop her.

Mr. Ball also showed respect. He used to fear Vicki, but now he revered her. Having lived with Seren, he knew too well what the Saunders family used to be like. Now that the Saunders family had finally taken the right path, falling into Seren's hands would likely lead to their destruction. Vicki chose to sacrifice herself to eliminate Seren, which was truly admirable.

Seren nervously stared at Vicki, not daring to relax. The dagger was still pressed against Vicki's neck. However, he also hesitated to kill her because he knew Vicki's capabilities. If he swiftly severed her artery, she would surely activate the explosive device with her final resolve, putting his own life in danger.

Suddenly, he regretted it. Why did he insist on Vicki? If he had known, he should have used Reese as a hostage. At least he could guarantee getting the money. He pondered over possible solutions but couldn't come up with any. There was nothing he could do against someone who was determined to die.

"Seren, let's die together!" Vicki's voice was icy cold, extremely calm, as if life and death were irrelevant to her.

As Vicki tightened her grip on her own wrist, preparing to trigger the explosion, a loud roar suddenly filled the air. The approaching helicopter and the swirling winds blew the surrounding trees into a frenzy, drowning out all other sounds. Everyone knew that it must be the reinforcements sent by Athena to support Seren. The helicopter would take Seren away.

Seren urgently tried to free himself from the handcuffs binding him to Vicki. He didn't want to die; he wanted to escape. As long as he had the money, he would come back. Now he wanted to kill Vicki immediately, to break free from this restraint. But he feared the bomb in Vicki's hands, so he hesitated.

Naturally, Vicki wanted more people to gather around her before she died. Even if she had to die, she wanted to take a few scumbags down with her.

The situation reached a stalemate.

No one noticed that at this moment, suddenly, a dark figure appeared amidst the chaos caused by the helicopter's strong gusts of wind, its noise covering all other sounds. The figure pounced forward, a dagger in hand, and plunged it directly into Seren's neck from behind, piercing his throat and artery.

This was an outcome that no one had expected.

Seren didn't even have a chance to make a sound. He stared wide-eyed, his body collapsing like a withered tree. His eyes bulged, never understanding who had killed him.

Immediately after, the dagger was forcefully pulled out, and blood gushed out like a spring, splattering the surroundings.

Due to being handcuffed to Seren, Vicki fell to the ground along with him.

Witnessing Seren take his last breath, dying instantly without any chance of survival, Vicki was shocked. After all, the people coming to support them were all on Seren's side. Who could have killed Seren so mercilessly and without hesitation?
