Chapter 24
When the gun landed in panic, Morgan was caught off guard and was knocked down by Anika.
Even Kayden, who was restrained by Morgan, fell to the ground unbalanced.
Although he was successfully suppressed by Anika, Morgan's strength was incomparable to hers.
Blue veins appeared on his neck as he struggled to reach the pistol beyond his arm.
Seeing that he was about to succeed, Zac did not know when he stepped forward.
He raised his foot and kicked the gun a few meters away.
He subdued Morgan three or two times and put on the handcuffs that Anika had landed on the ground.
Half a minute later, Zac pressed the alarm.
The police rushed over.
Officer Smith saw the situation in the warehouse and heaved a sigh of relief.
Morgan didn't even give the sniper a chance to shoot.
He agreed that Zac and Kayden would come together because he knew how many moves he had to make to prepare for the sniper.
‘Unexpectedly, after asking a few questions, the one who subdued Morgan ...
was actually his wife?’ Anika had long since exhausted her strength, so she was only able to stand up when Zac supported her arm.
Fortunately, Morgan drove the others away, so he dared to take the risk and try.
When she was kidnapped, Anika did not resist, which made Morgan lower his guard against her.
Of course, the most important thing was that Zac really understood what she meant.
Anika really did not have the strength and half leaned against his embrace.
In order to show her gratification towards him, she bent her almond-shaped eyes and smiled at the man in front of her.
However, when Zac saw her expression, his eyes were filled with coldness.
He clenched his teeth and flicked her forehead.
He said in a deep voice, "Nika, how dare you fight Morgan with your little body?"
Morgan was old, but when he was young, he had really mixed up in society.
He had fought countless battles, and he was also a man.
He knew that because he met Demi again after graduating from high school.
Anika especially went to find someone to learn to fight, and the two of them had also met in that guildhall.
However, the moment he understood Anika's intentions, Zac was still furious, but he was unable to stop her.
There was even some sour feeling in his heart.
He thought, ‘Could it be that Kayden was so important that she didn't hesitate to take risks?’
"But I still succeeded"
Anika's smile stopped at the corner of her mouth.
Recalling his performance just now, she touched her painful forehead and didn't bother with Zac.
After pausing for a few seconds, Anika thanked Zac for his hard work and said, "Don't worry, even if it was you just now, I would have done the same’ NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Anika wanted to express her gratitude to him for coming to save her.
If Zac was kidnapped one day, she would definitely try her best to save him.
Even someone like Kayden who didn't like to make enmity with others could get into this kind of trouble.
‘With Zac's arrogant and displeasing personality, how many enmities had he already formed?’
Anika couldn't help but pinch her sweat for him.
On the contrary, when Zac heard her last sentence, he was stunned for a moment.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and his ears seemed to be stained with red.
His throat twitched slightly and he clenched his fists, but his tone was as loose as ever, and he answered neither salty nor insipid, "Yes."
‘This woman had a bit of a conscience’ On the other side, Kayden finally untied Lucy's handcuffs.
He turned around and saw Anika was half leaning against Zac's embrace.
The smile on her face was too dazzling.
He calmed down and thought of the situation just now.
He paced over.
"Nika, are you ...alright?"
Anika’s face darkened when she heard the voice.
She raised her eyes to look at Kayden, who was a meter away.
She expressionlessly shook her head but did not say anything.
Kayden sensed her coldness and said, "I--"
He wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Anika already understood what he wanted to Say.
‘He probably wanted to say that he chose to save Lucy because of the situation at that time”
Although he had saved Lucy, she had to bear the risk with him.
Even if Morgan attacked him, he would not hurt her again.
Thinking of this, Anika sneered and interrupted him, "Kayden, Lucy is making me sick, but you're not less of her either.What, do you think you're the savior? Are you guilty of saving Lucy and letting me take the risk with you? Or are you pretending to be affectionate to save me?"
"But why should I shoulder it with you? We have no relationship anymore.Why do you think you can make a decision for me?"
"Or do you want to say that you saved Lucy because you wanted to fulfill your promise to grandma? But your selfishness to fulfill your kindness makes me disgusted a thousand times more”
"I did save you, but that's because you helped me before.Within my capabilities, I would do the same if it was someone else.If you said you wanted to repay me for saving my life, then please don't appear in front of me again!"
If it weren't for Kayden and Lucy, she wouldn't have done such a thing.
Anika vented all her emotions and no longer waited for Kayden to react.
She turned to look at Zac and said, "I'm tired.Let's go."
Her words just now were even more heart-wrenching than before.Kayden was already stunned.
His scarlet eyes stared at her, and her words echoed repeatedly in his ears.
"She makes me sick, and you are no less so.’ "You disgust me thousand times more."
"Please don't appear in front of me again"
Because he understood her kind nature, Kayden understood Anika's disgust from the bottom of his heart.
‘But since when has she developed such a deep dislike for me?’ He sadly asked himself.
He suddenly felt a kind of overwhelming powerlessness.
He wanted to escape from what she said just now, but it was engraved into his memories repetitively.
It was like a sharp blade, constantly cutting into his heart, suffocating.
Kayden sank into a tumultuous thought, while Morgan was pushed out by the two policemen as if he had given up hope.
His face was full of defeat, and he lowered his head and remained silent.
Unexpectedly, when he passed by Kayden's side, his eyes suddenly felt as if they were about to split apart.
He instantly burst out with tremendous strength and suddenly broke away from the policemen on his left and right.
He took out a dagger from somewhere and stabbed Kayden with both of his hands.
"Be careful!"
Officer Smith suddenly shouted.
Anika turned around and saw Kayden, who was half-kneeling on the ground, clutching his abdomen tightly.
Blood gushed out from the hilt of the saber and dyed the shirt.
The contrast between white and red was dazzling and bright.
His well-knit palm covered the wound.
Blood gradually flowed out of the gap between his fingers and dripped onto the ground.
Kayden, however, did not notice and only stared blankly at Anika, her gaze locked onto her face.
The dagger was seized, and Morgan was completely subdued.
Officer Smith hurriedly called someone to call the doctor waiting outside.
The criminals were caught and were all injured.
If they were to be investigated, they would all be punished.
Gavyn and Lucy were even more shocked, their eyes were filled with worry.
They quickly walked to Kayden's side, but he pushed them away with all his might.
Kayden slowly walked, his clean hand tightly grabbing Anika who was a few steps away.
"Anika."
His voice was hoarse when he called her name.
Anika glanced at Kayden's hand on her wrist and calmly raised her eyes, "Kayden, what are you doing?"
He was injured just now and what he needed was not her.
It was the doctor.
Hearing this, Kayden was stunned, seemingly at a loss.
‘Yeah, what was I doing?’ he thought to himself.
He just didn't want her to leave just like that.
He wanted to see worry and nervousness on her face.
He felt as if something had slipped through his fingers and he was eager to catch it.
The wound was burning with pain, sweat oozing from his forehead, and his thin lips were faintly pale.
However, the silence in her eyes caused him even more pain.
Kayden staggered.
Gavyn hurriedly stepped forward to support him and anxiously said, "Kayden, you need to hurry to the hospital now: Hearing Gavyn's words, Anika seemed to have thought of something” She frowned slightly and looked at Zac.
In her voice, she said, "Why don't we go to the hospital as well?"
Hearing this, Kayden's tense body relaxed a bit, and he also let go of her hand.
Zac's dark and deep eyes looked at Anika with an unclear meaning.
She pursed her lips and continued to persuade, "Your arm is scratched too.You need bandaging"
She was referring to the wound on Zac's forearm.
In the fight between him and Morgan just now, he accidentally drew a piece of iron to the side.
Although the wound was not deep, it was still better to have a tetanus shot.
