You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 286

"I'm sorry I'm late." Luther yanked Joyce up off the floor and heartily gathered her into his side.

He glanced at the grass and saw Joyce's pistol. He picked it up and handed it to Joyce.

The moment Joyce got the gun, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the masked man was about to attack again, and she directly pulled the trigger.

The masked man realized the danger and dodged to avoid it, but was finally a step too late. The bullet scratched through his elbow.

As a last resort, he hid behind a tree.

He took out a flare, lit it, and sent it up into the sky.

"Beep", the white light flashed. In the gray twilight, it looked particularly blinding.

Luther pulled Joyce all the way south, "We better leave now. He just sent a flare, and I'm afraid the other killers will all arrive soon."

"Hmm." Joyce tightened her grip on his hand, feeling more at ease than ever before, "The man with that weird mask, I'm afraid, is the mastermind behind everything. We must catch him. Perhaps, he has got something to do with Grandma's death."

"Karl is on his way with his men, and when we meet up, we'll get rid of the thugs." Luther led Joyce through the jungle, retreating in the direction of the creek.

On the other hand, the masked man hid behind a tree and simply bandaged his elbow that had been grazed by the bullet. Fortunately, he was well trained and he was so agile and swift. If he had been just a little bit slower, his right hand would be ruined.
