Chapter 411 He's Here
"Ms. Taylor!" Kimberly turned pale with fright and closed her eyes in panic!
Evelyn was momentarily engulfed by immense fear, her pupils constricted violently, and her heart felt like it had turned to ashes.
In an instant, she felt all her senses shut down, and many images flashed before her eyes.
Every image was about Edward.
She remembered their thrilling first meeting thirteen years ago, the scenes of them fighting side by side on the battlefield of Liberland, their marriage, their divorce, and their clinging to each other amidst the chaos.
Evelyn gasped, and tears instantly streamed down her face.
When a person was about to die, they faced their truest self. So, the fact that she could still think of Edward—was it because she still had feelings for him, or because she hated him too much?
At this moment, a sharp wind whistled past her ears, vibrating her eardrums.
The next moment, death did not come.
Lloyd didn't react in time and immediately felt a sharp pain in his wrist. The weapon in his hand was kicked away and fell into the pool!
Evelyn suddenly turned her head.
When she saw Edward's stern face, like a god appearing in her trembling pupils, her eyes, which had been like ruins, suddenly ignited like a prairie fire. Her heart pounded, and tears silently welled up in her eyes.
He came. He really came.
Edward breathed heavily and gave her a deep look.
Seeing the obvious bloody mark on Evelyn's arm, a strong anger surged in his chest, and his fingers clenched tightly in his palms!
Lloyd, who wouldn't blink an eye while killing, was now shivering under Edward's blood-red gaze!
But that wasn't the scariest part.
The scariest part was that he had never expected Edward to suddenly come and attack.
Edward's sharp eyes locked onto Lloyd, his tall and imposing figure standing in front of Evelyn like an insurmountable icy mountain, giving her unique protection.
"I think I've seen you somewhere before. Are you one of Tiffany's people?"
Evelyn's heart tightened, and William, who was lying on the ground, was also glaring with hatred!
She could understand Tiffany targeting her. But what she didn't understand was, with Tiffany's cunning and scheming nature, why had she suddenly gone mad and was so eager to kill her?
Acting so hastily would only expose her.
Or was Tiffany's real target Kimberly, and she was just collateral damage?
But why would she target Kimberly? Did she know some incredible secret?
The remaining three thugs saw Edward descend from the sky, and each of them looked terrified.
But at this point, there was no turning back. They might as well take them all out and secure a way to survive!
"Who's Tiffany? I don't know her."
Lloyd clutched his painfully numb wrist and smiled at Edward. "But it doesn't matter. It's not important. As long as none of you can leave here alive tonight, that's enough."
"Originally, I wanted you to surrender. But since you hurt my woman, I only want your life now." Edward clenched his iron fist and, like lightning, charged at him unexpectedly!
His woman?
Evelyn's cheeks flushed with heat, and her breathing became erratic.
But she had no time to dwell on the term; Edward was already fiercely fighting Lloyd! Every punch landed with force!
The remaining three also rushed forward, their menacing blades all aimed at Edward's vital points!
Tonight, it was destined to be a life-or-death struggle with no retreat!
"Edward! Watch your back!" Evelyn, drenched in cold sweat, shouted hoarsely at the besieged Edward.
She knew his body hadn't fully recovered yet. Dealing with Lloyd was already difficult, and now with three more thugs, it was undoubtedly adding insult to injury!
Moreover, Lloyd's attacks were extremely vicious, each move targeting Edward's vital points, all aimed to kill!
Hearing Evelyn's shout, Edward seemed to be filled with strength. Without even turning his head, he raised his hand and grabbed the thug's wrist, quickly breaking it. The scream pierced the night!
Evelyn's heart pounded violently, instantly recalling the brave soldier from the battlefield.
The next second, she watched as Edward plunged the knife into the thug's abdomen without hesitation, his actions ruthless.
But as a doctor, she could tell he hadn't hit the vital organs; he had spared the man's life.
Despite years of living in comfort, his skills hadn't diminished at all. Dealing with these thugs was a piece of cake for him!
"Was it you who cut my woman?"
Edward gripped the blood-stained dagger tightly, his eyes filled with a tsunami of dark, violent rage, tinged with a bloodthirsty red.
Lloyd ground his molars and let out a cold laugh.
"If she loses a single hair, I'll break your legs. You made her bleed, so I should take your life." Edward thought of the wound on Evelyn's arm, and his heart ached terribly.
But at this moment, he didn't even dare to look at Evelyn.
He was afraid of upsetting her, even with just a glance.
Evelyn listened to Edward's words, which sounded like a confession but weren't, her pale lips pressed tightly together, her breathing becoming rapid, and her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Lloyd let out a sinister laugh.
Seeing that the trouble he had caused was almost out of control, he directly pulled out a gun from his back!
The dark muzzle was suddenly aimed at Evelyn's shocked face!
He hadn't pulled out the gun earlier because he didn't want to make too much noise and wanted to deal with her quietly.
But Edward's sudden appearance had completely disrupted his plan. Since that was the case, he could only use the simplest method to end it quickly!
"No, Evelyn!"
The severely injured William turned pale with fright. He wanted to rush over to shield Evelyn, but his body felt like it was paralyzed and couldn't move!
Edward's pupils shook violently, and he reacted immediately, lunging to grab the gun!
But it was too late.
"Mr. Wellington, say goodbye to your beloved woman!"
Then came a gunshot that shook the heavens and the earth!
"No! No!" Edward trembled all over, letting out a heart-wrenching scream.
Evelyn's eyes turned red, and she could hear the bullet whizzing towards her.
As a battlefield doctor back then, she was extremely sensitive to such gunshots. After returning home, she had severe PTSD for a long time and had to see many therapists to recover.
At this moment, she closed her eyes in terror.
But then she heard a faint, painful groan!
