Chapter 1081 Do You Have the Guts to Kill Me?
After leaving the doctor's office, Alicia stopped in her tracks and looked dazedly at the examination report in her hands. It showed that she was pregnant, which was a fact she could hardly accept.
She furrowed her brows with a conflicted expression. This child shouldn't have come, but it is a life. Can I be so selfish as to snatch its right to come to this world?
While she was in her thoughts, a person suddenly covered her mouth with one hand and bound her with the other before lugging her to the stairwell.
She struggled fiercely and tried to shout out loud to attract others' attention. However, since her mouth was covered, she could only let out a weak sound. The stairwell's door soon closed in front of her.
"Calm down, Alicia. It's me, your dearest cousin," Gale said grimly and tried to brainwash her. "Alicia, have you forgotten about how much I doted on you in the past? Although I've made some mistakes, I've never thought about harming you. Now, many people are trying to catch me, and I have nowhere to go. Please help me for the last time. If you agree to it, just dip your head. I'll release you so that you won't suffer any longer."
Alicia struggled for a bit and realized she was no match for him. As such, she calmed down and nodded.
"That's the right kind of attitude, Alicia. You know I trust you. I'll release you now, but you mustn't shout. Although my gun was taken away by those from Smith Co., I still have some money to buy a knife. I have sufficient time to punish a traitor before others come over."
After warning the woman, Gale slowly let her go.
Just as he expected, Alicia didn't shout. After regaining her freedom, she moved away to widen the gap between him and greedily inhaled some fresh air.
Just as Gale was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Alicia suddenly fished out a gun from her bag and pointed it at the man. "Raise your hands right now!" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
After the assassination attempt against Paul previously, they gave Alicia a gun to protect herself. She didn't expect she would use it so soon to deal with a relentless Gale.
"Bullets are lethal, Alicia. Don't shoot me accidentally." Gale raised his hands and stared fixedly at her gun.
"Mind your own business. Although I'm naive, I'm not a fool. You can't fool me easily. If you had doted on me, you wouldn't have repeatedly tried to kill my brother. You treated me well because you wanted to earn our trust for your vested interests. You're just a hypocrite. Get lost! I don't want to see you anymore!" Alicia didn't intend to cross the line, so she let the man go.
However, Gale inched closer to her and said, "Alicia, I know you too well. You're a kind-hearted person, so do you have the guts to kill me?"
The stairwell wasn't spacious, to begin with, and the shortening gap between them unnerved Alicia. Just as the man was about to reach her, she decisively opened fire.
Gale didn't expect her to shoot, so he instinctively leaped away and rolled down the stairs.
Alicia rushed over and kept shooting. Since it was her first time using a gun, there was no accuracy to speak of. Gale dodged the bullets and jumped down the stairs to run away.
Upon confirming that the man was gone, Alicia rushed out of the stairwell and kept her gun in her bag. While holding her weapon tightly, she left the hospital.
Nonetheless, Gale was only hiding in a nearby place. After she was gone, he returned to the hospital and barged into the doctor's office. The doctor was the one who examined Alicia. He pressed his knife against the woman's neck and made sure she stayed silent.
"What kind of illness does the Cittadelian woman suffer from? Tell me everything, or I'll kill you and your family members!"
"She's pregnant," the doctor replied briefly.
"She has a child?" Gale laughed.
The child has come at the right time!

When Jamie finished getting prepared in the morning, he was ready to leave.
After Maisie was saved, he and Narissa were informed of Alexander's plan. Although he knew that Elise getting abducted was part of the plan, he still had to put up an act and look for her to fool those from Triune.
While walking down the stairs, he saw Matthew standing in the living room.
As Jamie descended, Matthew kept smiling at him and spread his arms with a smirk.
When Jamie reached the living room, he sported a solemn expression and moved forward. The instant he was close enough to Matthew, he struck the man with a fist and twisted his arm behind his back before pinning him to the couch.
"Ouch! It hurts!"
"Come on! Matthew is trying to run away! I've subdued him! Bring me the iron chain!" Jamie yelled.
The next moment, he heard a familiar voice begging for mercy.
"It's me, Danny! Release me now! My arm is going to break!" Danny cried and repeatedly tapped the couch with his other hand, looking like a seal on the beach. The sight was comical.
Jamie initially thought it was Matthew's trick. It wasn't until Ariel, Irvin, and Alexia came over and watched them with a smile that he released Danny.
"Why are you suddenly disguising as Matthew? You basically asked for it." Jamie tapped his hands. He was in a terrible mood. Although he knew it was just a prank, he was still irritated.
"Oh my gosh! You almost killed me!" Danny rubbed his face and fished out his phone to look at himself. "Luckily, the mask isn't damaged. Do you know how expensive it is? I don't care. I'll ask Jacob to get the money from you."
"Cut to the chase," Jamie demanded.
Only then did Danny keep his phone and explain aggrievedly, "Now, we've spread the news that Matthew has killed Alexander. Those from Triune will definitely come looking for him and verify the news with him. Since Matthew is in captivity, I've decided to disguise as him and follow them back to the Triune's base. It's a chance we mustn't miss."
"Have you learned to change your voice from Alexander? Can you mimic Matthew?" Jamie asked doubtfully.
"No. However, Owen has never heard Matthew's voice before." Danny shrugged nonchalantly.
Ariel walked over and adjusted his clothes for him. "Keep a low profile when you leave with them. Matthew isn't as sloppy as you are. If you don't act sedately, you might expose your identity."
"Don't worry. I know what to do. Honey, aren't you supposed to say something else to me? Like telling me to stay safe." Danny smirked.
"Will you ignore your safety if I don't tell you that?"
"Well, I'll definitely come back alive and take care of you."
A pleased Ariel landed a peck on his lips. "I'll be waiting for your return."
"Yes, madam!" Danny saluted her.
Jamie recalled Narissa as he looked at them, so he couldn't help feeling dejected.
Danny patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "Since you're a man, you're supposed to take the initiative. Don't wait for the woman you love to come to you. Show her some sincerity and give it a try. Regardless of the outcome, you won't regret your inaction at the very least."
"I understand," Jamie replied impassively.
"Everything is ready." Raymond came in and urged Danny to get going.
