Chapter 514″Ah!” Aveline screamed and turned to run.Even though she had a knife, she didn’t dare to confront the man directly. What if he took the knife and used it against her?She ran as fast as she could, shouting for help. Her cries echoed through the empty underground parking lot. The sound of footsteps behind her felt like they were pounding on her heart. Terror gripped her, making her feel like her heart was about to burst out of her chest. She clutched the knife tightly, trembling all over.Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the side, tackling the man chasing her.Both of them fell to the ground.”Aveline, run!” a frantic voice called out behind her.She turned and saw Sidney wrestling with the man. Sidney’s face quickly bore signs of the struggle. The assailant pulled out a knife and aimed it at Sidney’s chest.”No!” Aveline cried out, rushing over to help. Sidney blocked the attack with his arm, blood flowing from the wound. The intense pain drained the color from his face.Aveline swung her bag at the attacker, the chains hitting his face and neck, leaving bloody marks. Sidney pushed the man away with all his strength.”You shouldn’t have come back, Aveline!” Sidney said, shielding her and glaring at the attacker.Aveline took out her phone to call the police. The man glared at her one last time before fleeing.The police arrived quickly. They found the parking lot’s security cameras had been tampered with, and the security guard was unconscious. It was clear the attack had been premeditated.Sidney’s arm was still bleeding, so Aveline rushed him to the hospital. Fortunately, the wound wasn’t deep, and after some bandaging, he was fine.”Thank you,” Aveline said as they left the hospital, looking at him with deep gratitude. Without him, who knows what might have happened tonight? She, a lone woman, surely wouldn’t have outrun that man. Sidney shook his head. “It’s nothing. As long as you’re okay, this little injury doesn’t matter”Aveline was still shaken, her face pale.Sidney asked, “Aveline, who was that guy? He looked like he wanted to kill you.”He had seen the man’s fierce, almost vengeful eyes.Aveline shook her head. “I don’t know him.”But she was sure it wasn’t Darren. She had seen Darren twice and remembered his eyes somewhat.Then who was this man? Could it be someone sent by Sophia to harm her? Was she desperate enough to resort to this?Sidney said, “Where do you live? I’ll take you home. It’s not safe for you to go alone.”1/2Chapter 514+25 BONUSAveline replied, “I’m fine. The place I live has good security. You should go home and rest since you’re injured.”Sidney insisted, “No, I can’t let you go alone. What if something happens again and no one’s around to help?” Aveline couldn’t turn him down. After all, Sidney had just saved her life.
