Chapter 560 Knowing the Truth About Her Departure Three Years Ago
At that moment, Nora had already run to the front of the car, helping the bodyguards rescue the trapped Isaac.
Thick smoke was billowing more and more from the front of the car, and faint flames could be seen emerging. The surrounding temperature was noticeably rising, and the car cabin was filled with smoke.
Fortunately, the car window had been smashed, otherwise, the smoke alone could have suffocated Isaac.
The fire was about to ignite, and there was even a risk of explosion.
At this time, the bodyguards had just managed to separate the two collided cars and started to pull the deformed car door.
The car door could no longer open normally and could only be forced open with brute strength.
Several bodyguards worked together, pulling the car door with all their might.
During this time, Nora handed Isaac a knife, letting him cut the seatbelt first.
Fortunately, although Isaac was trapped, he didn't seem to be seriously injured. He was still conscious and could handle some issues himself.
By the time the bodyguards managed to pull the car door open, Isaac had successfully cut the seatbelt.
However, the steering wheel was also deformed from the collision, still pressing against Isaac's lower body, preventing him from getting out smoothly.
The group once again used all their strength to create a gap between the steering wheel and the seat, finally allowing Isaac's legs to move.
Nora immediately pulled him, dragging him out of the car.
"Run, the car might explode!" Nora shouted to the bodyguards while supporting Isaac, urging them to retreat quickly.
They had just run forty feet away when a loud bang sounded behind them, and a huge wave of heat and force hit them.
Everyone was reflexively thrown ten feet forward by the explosion's impact, then fell to the ground.
When they looked back, they saw the two collided cars engulfed in flames.
Nora's face was pale, her heart pounding wildly.
Just a little bit more, and Isaac would have died in the car.
Even though Isaac was saved, she was still terrified.
Isaac hugged Nora, gently comforting her, "Don't be afraid, it's over now."
Nora closed her eyes, took a moment to regulate her breathing, and gradually calmed down.
Then, she stood up, called a few bodyguards, and walked towards Daxton with a grim expression.
No matter what, she couldn't let Daxton escape today.
Daxton was like a ticking time bomb. If not dealt with early, he would cause trouble again someday.
For the children's safety, she couldn't let him go this time!
Isaac also stood up and followed her.
When they approached, they saw Daxton and Mortimer lying on the ground.
Daxton had a cut on his neck. Despite pressing the wound with his hand, blood was still gushing out.
At that moment, he was weakly lying on the ground, his eyes unfocused, clearly on the verge of unconsciousness.
Nora suppressed the urge to finish him off, looking down at Daxton coldly, her eyes full of disgust and hatred.
Seeing Nora and Isaac, Daxton gave a malicious smile and taunted Nora, "I know you want me dead, but do you think Isaac will be fine if I die?"
"Don't forget, he still has the poison I planted in him. Even if I don't trigger it, without the antidote, he can only live for three months after I die before the poison kills him!"
Nora clenched her fists, trembling with anger.
Daxton's smile grew more mocking, "Three years ago, to save him, you pretended to betray him and left him. But in the end, you still couldn't save him. He still has to die. Although I lost, you didn't win either!"
Daxton laughed gleefully.
"You can choose not to save me, but if I die, Isaac will die in three months!"
Nora was so angry she almost spat blood.
She wanted to kill Daxton immediately, but if he died, Isaac would die too.
Nora took a deep breath and ordered the bodyguards through gritted teeth, "Call the accompanying doctor, keep him alive!"
Isaac grabbed Nora's hand and asked in a deep voice, "What did he mean by those words? What happened three years ago?"
At this point, there was no way to hide the truth anymore.
Nora briefly explained, "Three years ago, you suddenly fell into a coma and were critically ill. The doctors couldn't find the problem. Then Daxton came to me, saying you were poisoned by him. With a single thought, he could kill you or make you better."
"He demanded that I find a way to break up with you and leave you, then he would let you recover. Otherwise, he would let you die."
Isaac's pupils contracted, his eyes full of disbelief, "So, three years ago, you didn't betray me. You pretended to be in love with Mortimer to make me give up on you and save me?"
Nora nodded, bitterly saying, "I had no choice. I couldn't just watch you die."
Isaac was furious, glaring at Daxton with a fierce look.
This old bastard had even threatened Nora!
They had been separated for so many years, their three children had lacked parental love for so many years, and Barrett had suffered so much because of this old bastard!
Overwhelmed with anger, Isaac couldn't hold back anymore and rushed forward, stomping hard on Daxton's chest.
"You deserve to die. Having a father like you disgusts me!"
Isaac lifted his foot and stomped down again.
Daxton's chest visibly caved in, his eyes bulging as he stared at Isaac, unable to say a word before rolling his eyes and passing out.
Isaac wanted to continue venting his anger but was stopped by Nora.
"Calm down, don't kill him. Didn't you hear what he said? If he dies, you won't survive either."
Isaac gritted his teeth, saying, "I'm not afraid of death. I just want to kill this inhumane bastard!"
"He killed my mom, hurt my grandpa, and threatened you. He deserves to die!"
Nora said, "I know you're not afraid of death, but think about the children. Do you want them to lose their father?"
Isaac's body stiffened, finally calming down.
At that moment, the bodyguards brought the accompanying doctor over.
Nora told the doctor to save Daxton quickly.
The doctor squatted down, examined Daxton, and said with difficulty, "Mr. Porter, Mrs. Porter, I'm afraid it's too late. His neck wound has severed his throat, and his chest ribs are broken, piercing his heart. These are fatal injuries. Even Dr. Hawkins couldn't save him."
Nora's heart sank.
Seeing Daxton so arrogant and still able to laugh earlier, she thought the situation wasn't too dangerous. She didn't expect he was beyond saving.
If Daxton died, what would happen to Isaac?
Nora was utterly panicked.
