All Too Late

Then, she got into the car too. However, there were no keys in the truck. Left with no choice, Gizem had

to revert to the old-school technique of hot-wiring the truck. Eventually, the engine started to turn on. She

drove the truck out of the mansion. Bang! Suddenly, Gizem heard a gunshot behind her. There was no

time for her to think. She could only slam her foot on the gas pedal and sped up their pace. Up ahead,

there were people blocking them as well. However, they seemed to be shocked by the speed of the truck

and didn’t dare to come too close. Just like that, Gizem sped along to the port. As expected, there was a

white speedboat parked there. Gizem parked the truck right in front of the boat. She carried Desi down

and got onto the boat. Meanwhile, Theodore and the others were acting quickly as well.

Gizem hurriedly started the speedboat. This was her first time operating something like this, and she had

no experience whatsoever. As soon as she started the engine, the speedboat launched forward. Bang!

Bang! More gunshots sounded from behind them. Gizem told Desi to crouch down and not come up until

told otherwise. Bang! Gizem groaned. She reached up to touch her shoulder. That was when she

realized she had been shot. Regardless, she knew she couldn’t stop. If she did, they would be captured

again. Gizem knew that both she and Desi would suffer horrible consequences if they were recaptured.

Desi could see that Gizem was injured. Her beige coat was dyed red by the blood. The sight of it scared

Desi so much that she burst into tears. Gizem comforted her by saying, “Desi, be good. Don’t be afraid.

Close your eyes. We’ll be safe soon.” Desi nodded and shut her eyes tightly. However, she still couldn’t

help but keep crying. Bang! Bang! The sound of the gunshots was getting nearer to them.

Gizem could see that multiple speedboats were surrounding them from all directions. They were trapped

in the center. Theodore was on one of the speedboats as well. When Gizem realized that she couldn’t

escape, she had no choice but to stop the boat. Theodore hopped onto her boat. He was holding a gun.

Without hesitation, he shot Gizem in the leg. Gizem gritted her teeth but made not a single sound,

shielding Desi behind her. Meanwhile, Theodore was furious. “You dare to betray me?” In response,

Gizem sneered. “Betray? I was never your apprentice. How can this be a betrayal?” Theodore paused

for a moment as his gaze turned icy. “You got your memory back?” Gizem shook her head. “Thanks to

you, I merely became more suspicious about what’s been happening around me.” Theodore was

shocked. “What do you mean?” “For example, you rarely use silver needles. You’re also an expert at

poison. On the other hand, I am more skilled at saving lives.” As she spoke, her gaze was sharp. “Hah!

Even when you’ve lost your memories, I still can’t fool you.” Theodore snorted. Gizem tore off the hyper-

realistic face mask that she was wearing.

“Back then, you told me that I underwent plastic surgery because I was disfigured. You claimed you

chose to model me after that woman, Kathleen, because you thought she was pretty. Later on, another

doctor told me that my face wasn’t that badly burnt at all. You lied to me because you didn’t want me to

get suspicious about my identity.” “You even went to see a doctor?” Theodore was surprised, as prior to

this, everything Gizem did was in the palm of his hands. Right now, it was getting harder and harder for

Gizem to stand upright. She squatted down with her back leaning to the side. With a cold laugh, she

said, “Master, your glory days are over. Do you have any idea how many traitors you have by your side?”

Theodore was stunned silent. Gizem continued to look coldly at him. “I want to know the reason why.”

After a pause, Theodore smirked. “I will never tell you.” “Haha. Then you will never know who the traitors

in your organization are.” “I’ll investigate it on my own. Oh, Gizem. It’s such a pity. You are so smart. If

only you were my apprentice. It’s unfortunate that another man is your master.” “What man are you

referring to?” Gizem asked puzzledly. The murderous intent in Theodore’s eyes surged. “Why don’t you

ask Satan when you get to hell?” Gizem bit her lip and shut her eyes. She had done all she could. Bang!

A gunshot sounded. Beside her ear, Gizem could hear Desi screaming. Gizem thought that she was

dead.

However, she didn’t feel any pain. She opened her eyes and saw two people holding onto Theodore,

who had taken a bullet to the chest. However, the bullet hole was nowhere near his heart. “Take me

away!” ordered Theodore. The men immediately helped Theodore back to the speedboat beside them

and sped off. The other speedboats started to retreat as well. Gizem had no idea who was here. She

kept her gaze fixed on the deck of the speedboat. Soon enough, a tall figure leaped onto the boat. When

he saw Gizem, his entire body froze. “Desi, your daddy is here.” At this point, Gizem was starting to lose

consciousness. “Mommy, don’t die!” Desi held onto her and sobbed. “Kate!” Samuel walked over. Gizem

stared at him dazedly. She whispered, “Your daughter is fine.” After that, she passed out. Samuel held

her in his arms. Pain flooded his handsome face. She still hasn’t recovered her memories. “Daddy, is

Mommy going to die?” Desi was sobbing uncontrollably. Samuel held onto Kathleen tightly. “No.”
