Chapter 498
So much blood, could she already be...
"No!"
Ivan's eyes were filled with bright red bloodshot veins.
He belatedly remembered that he needed to call an ambulance.
He patted his body but couldn't find his phone at all. During the fight just now, he didn't know where his phone had fallen. As he searched around for his phone, footsteps slowly approached.
He choked out, "Can you lend me your phone for a moment?"
Raising his eyes, he saw a slender figure walking toward him from an angle where the backlight obscured the person's features.
"What do you need the phone for?"
A cold voice pierced through the backlight.
Ivan's head was buzzing, and at that moment, he didn't react. He suppressed his voice and said, "To call an ambulance."
"Why do you need to call an ambulance?"
Haley walked step by step toward him.
She saw Ivan kneeling on the ground, with a sack oozing blood in front of him.
The man's eyes were bloodshot, full of pain, his voice choked, as if he was about to cry.
So, did he think the person in the sack was her? Did he think she was about to be killed, so he became like this?
In that moment, countless emotions intertwined in Haley's heart.
She walked over, squatted down, and tore open the sack.
Before Ivan could stop her, he saw that there was actually a plastic dummy in the sack, with numerous blood bags tied to it. The blood bags had been broken, causing so much blood to flow.
"Ivan, your son is so smart, but you are so foolish." Haley deliberately spoke in a relaxed tone. "Would a normal person lose so much blood? Why didn't you think about it?"
Ivan stared blankly at the person in front of him.
He suddenly leaned forward and hugged the woman in front of him.
"Thank goodness you're okay, thank goodness you're okay." His chin rested on her shoulder as he murmured softly.
Just now, his mind was blank, he only thought about how to save someone, but he didn't realize that the person talking to him was the one he wanted to save.
He wasn't foolish, he was genuinely afraid, afraid of tasting the pain of loss before having something.
"Haley, I'm sorry," Ivan hugged her tightly and whispered.
Haley felt his arms tightening around her, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.
A fluttering sensation arose in her heart, and she slowly closed her eyes.
She could see all his feelings for her.
If he didn't truly care about her, how could he have come here alone to save her?
If he didn't truly care about her, how could he have said those words to Martin?
If he didn't truly care about her, how could he suddenly act foolishly and almost cry in front of a sack? He really liked her.
It was not because the children like her, but because of her.
This feeling made Haley soften completely.
Five years ago, she was forced to grow up, and in these years, she had forged herself into a strong woman, impervious to harm from anyone, making it difficult for anyone to enter her heart.
But at this moment, she was truly moved.
She suddenly wanted to entrust herself to him, to the biological father of her four children.
Just as Haley was about to speak, the person holding her suddenly went limp and fainted.
She touched him and realized that Ivan's hands and legs were covered in blood, from being beaten by seven or eight bodyguards just now in order to save her.
She sighed and helped Ivan stand up and walk out.
Just then, a light suddenly lit up outside the warehouse.
