Chapter 380
Under the cover of darkness, the sound of police sirens filled the air. As three
police cars quickly arrived in front of the red Bentley, the driver, Wally, finally
breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren’t for Emmanuel tonight, he and Mackenzie
would probably be dead by now!
“Ms. Quillen, are you alright?” Captain Homer Yoak, who was leading the
team, was familiar with the Quillen family and knew Mackenzie. They even
had a certain friendship.
“I’m fine. Search in the northwest direction! We must find Emmanuel and
Claudette as quickly as possible!” Mackenzie’s tone carried a sense of
command.
Homer nodded, his cold police gaze softened with a touch of tenderness. “Ms.
Quillen, rest assured. As long as they’re still alive, we will bring them back
safely!”
From Mackenzie’s gaze, he could sense concern and nervousness. He
couldn’t figure out whether she was more worried about Emmanuel or

couldn’t be that she was anxious about a man, right?
Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain, infrared beams continued to scan
the area for Emmanuel and Claudette’s figures in the darkness. Emmanuel
knew how dangerous their situation was and held Claudette tightly as they
moved stealthily in the night.
He could already hear the distant sound of sirens, and as long as they could
rendezvous with the police, he believed they would be safe!
“Emmanuel, am I heavy?” In the midst of the tense atmosphere, Claudette
suddenly asked such a question, which amused Emmanuel.
What kind of thought process do women have?
No wonder he had failed in 18 blind dates before. It seemed that he couldn’t
understand women at all. Is this the time to talk about such things?
But when Emmanuel lowered his head and saw the sparkling gaze in
Claudette’s eyes, he instantly understood something. For her, life might not
be the most important thing right now!
“You’re not heavy. No matter how long it takes, I can always carry you,”
Emmanuel replied seriously to her words.
When Claudette heard this, her eyes sparkled, and a happy smile appeared
on her face. Seizing the moment when Emmanuel wasn’t paying attention,
she secretly kissed his cheek.
“Emmanuel, thank you!” Claudette said, her voice filling with tears.
“You’re welcome!” Emmanuel responded with a heavy heart, feeling that this
woman’s body had become colder and was reaching the point of death.
“Ms. Lenoir, your condition has worsened. Let me find a place to provide you
with urgent treatment!” Emmanuel couldn’t allow Claudette to continue like
this and wanted to put her down for treatment.
However, Claudette didn’t choose to close her eyes and receive treatment.
Instead, she suddenly reminded him, “Hey, Emmanuel, the red dot over there
is sweeping toward us!”
Emmanuel was alarmed and, disregarding everything else, rolled on the
ground with Claudette in his arms.
Infrared sniper rifles!
Darn it!

The person he had once fought side by side with had now become his mortal
enemy!
Emmanuel clenched his teeth. With new grudges overlapping old ones, he
couldn’t let that traitor go today.
However, Claudette, who was already weak, had blood constantly seeping
out at the corner of her mouth. Despite the pain that was making her numb,
she continued to wipe away the blood with a smile, not wanting to worry
Emmanuel.
Bang!
Just as Emmanuel managed to escape from their original position, it was
bombarded with bullets, and soil flew everywhere. Emmanuel quickly rolled
behind a tree, seeking a hidden place to take cover.
He had faced off against the traitor several times during their time in the
Northern Region, and his success rate was 67.5%.
However, this battle was extremely unfair.
The enemy had advanced weapons, while Emmanuel had only a barely
conscious Claudette by his side.
“Emmanuel… I’m sorry… Am I a burden to you?”
