Chapter 187 Isaac in Critical Condition
Nora said, "Isaac told me he never touched Kalista. The baby can't be his!"
"You believe that?" Daxton sneered. "Men lie to women all the time. You might buy it, but I don't."
Daxton insisted mercilessly, "Get rid of that baby, just to be safe. I'll give you three days. If it's not done, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Nora's anger exploded.
She glared at Daxton, eyes bloodshot, and shouted, "Are you even human? Isaac is your son! How can you keep using his life to threaten others? Do you even have a conscience? You're worse than a beast. Isaac's unlucky to have a father like you!"
Nora added, "People like you will get what's coming to them! What goes around comes around."
Daxton's face twisted with anger, a vicious glint in his eyes.
"How dare you talk to me like that? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you and then Isaac?" he threatened through gritted teeth.
Nora sneered, "Go ahead, kill me if you can. I'm done with your threats!
"I'm telling you, I won't help you anymore. Kill whoever you want, even Isaac. I don't care!
"Stop the car and let me out!"
But the driver didn't stop without Daxton's order.
Nora lunged for the steering wheel, making the car swerved wildly.
"Let go! We'll crash!" the driver yelled, panicked, trying to steady the wheel.
Nora gritted her teeth as she remarked angrily, "A crash would be great, especially if it kills Daxton!"
At that moment, she truly wanted to kill him.If she could drag Daxton to hell, he couldn't threaten Isaac anymore.With that thought, she gripped the wheel harder.
But then, she suddenly felt a sharp pain at the back of her neck, then she blacked out.
When she woke up, she was still in the car, now parked by the roadside in the suburbs.
The car door was open in a desolate area.
The driver and Daxton were outside.
Daxton stood by the roadside, smoking.He was tall, at least six feet one in height, fit, with a muscular build, impressive even for a middle-aged man.
He looked like he wasn't even past the age of forty and resembled Isaac a lot.
Though not as handsome as a young man, he had exuded a mature charmthat could still attract women.
But because of his behavior, Nora felt only disgust when she saw him.
Suddenly, she noticed a fruit knife on the front passenger seat.A cold glint flashed in her eyes as an idea dawned on her.She hadn't given up on killing Daxton.
If she killed him there, he couldn't threaten Isaac anymore.She didn't have long to live anyway. Even if it cost her life, it would be worth it!
Nora quietly reached for the knife.
She slipped out of the car and crept toward Daxton.
He had his back to her, unaware that she was creeping towards him.
Nora got close and raised the knife to stab him.But just as she was about to strike, Daxton turned around to face her.
With one hand holding a cigarette, he grabbed her wrist with the other.Pain shot through her wrist, and she dropped the knife.
Daxton mocked, "Trying to kill me, huh?"
Nora's face went pale, eyes bloodshot with rage.
Daxton seemed intrigued by her hatred. He scoffed at her, "Didn't think you had it in you. I thought you were weak for putting up with everything."
Nora's anger flared.
"Too bad you're not of higher status. Otherwise, I might've let you and Isaac be together," Daxton said regretfully.
Nora gritted her teeth, trying to free her wrist.
But Daxton was too strong. She couldn't easily break free from his grasp.
"Either kill me or let me go!" Nora shouted, eyes full of disgust.
Daxton released her hand.
Then, Nora turned to leave.Since he wasn't going to kill her, she didn't want to stay. Just looking at him made her sick.
But she hadn't gone far when the driver blocked her path.
Nora stopped, turned to Daxton, and snapped, "What do you want? If you're not going to kill me, why won't you let me go, you old bastard?"
Daxton's face stiffened at the rude way she talked to him.
Old bastard?
Even though he was over forty, he was well-maintained. Even twenty-year-old girls called him "handsome" instead of "uncle."
Nora actually called him an old bastard?
Daxton was silent for a few seconds before regaining his composure.
He said patiently, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Stay and watch Isaac die with me. Once he's dead, I'll let you go."
Nora's face changed instantly. She asked frantically, "What do you mean by that?"
Daxton was about to speak when Nora's phone rang.She saw it was Wesley calling and panicked.
Could something have happened to Isaac?
Nora quickly answered the call.
"Ms. Nora, where are you? Can you come to the hospital?" Wesley's voice, choked with sobs, came through.
Nora's heart sank. "What happened? Is it Grandpa or Isaac?"
Wesley desperately explained, "Edmund is fine. It's Isaac, he suddenly started vomiting blood uncontrollably. The doctors can't find the cause and can't stop the bleeding. They told us to prepare for the worst."
He added, "Isaac might not make it. Can you come see him one last time?"
Nora felt all her strength drain away and collapsed to the ground.
"Are you listening?" Wesley asked when he didn't hear a sound from Nora.
Nora trembled and said, "I'm listening. Is Rhys there? Has he seen Isaac? Does he have any way to help?"
