Florence ran very fast. She used the fastest sprint in her life and ran very far. Even so, she still heard the gunshot faintly.
The sound of the gun seemed to hit her, making her stiff and cold.
There was a fight inside?
A bullet didn’t care where he was, but Ernest was still alone and badly injured. How could he hold on?
The very thought brought her out in a cold sweat and she suddenly realized something.
Ernest was lying to her!
He knew that he couldn’t delay Samantha for too long by words, let alone delay her for an hour.
He just wanted her to leave and keep her alive
Florence’s tensed body shook and almost fell down.
The next moment, she turned around in fear and ran in the direction she came. Her eyes were red as if they were about to crack.
She was terrified.
She was afraid that she would see Ernest’s body when she went back.
Even if she had to die, she would die with him. How could she live alone?
Liar! Liar!
She would never trust him again.
This way was ten times and a hundred times farther than when Florence left.
Every minute and second, she felt as if she had been through a few centuries.
The further she went back, the louder and harsher the gunshot she heard.
Her eyes were blurred with tears. She didn’t dare to imagine what was going on with Ernest.
How miserable and terrible it would be.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bullets hit the trunk one after another.
The guards were getting closer and closer.
Because of so many bullets and distance, Ernest couldn’t even shoot. As long as he stretched out a finger, he will be shot.
He lost all his strength and leaned against the tree trunk with a pale face.
He looked extremely calm and indifferent, ignoring the danger and bullets behind him. He looked straight at the direction in which Florence left tenderly.
He broke his promise.
‘Will Florence blame me after she comes back? Will she be very sad?’ he thought.
But that time, he was afraid that he couldn’t wipe her tears.
“Bang!”
A bullet went through the edge of the tree trunk and hit him in the arm.
Ernest’s body trembled. He slowly lowered his head and looked at the new wound on his arm. His expression did not change much.
He didn’t care that those people had already come.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
All of a sudden, the sound of gunshots came from another direction.
Bullets were shot at the guards one by one.
Several more people fell down.
Ernest’s eyes, which weren’t shining, suddenly trembled. In surprise, he looked up at the place where the gun was shot. When he saw clearly who it was, his pupils suddenly were dilated.
He shouted angrily, “why did you come back?”
Hearing the roar of Ernest, Florence finally felt relieved.
Fortunately, she made it.
He was still alive.
She didn’t delay. With a gun in her hand, she took advantage of the geographical advantage to shoot continuously at the group of people.
Through the rustling trees and grass, she saw a person lying on the ground.
This was the first time that Florence had killed someone.
But she was so scared that she was numb. She was like a shooting machine, pulling the trigger continuously.
The only thought in her mind was to save Ernest and return to him.
As she shot, she approached him.
She was so determined and anxious.
Ernest stared at Florence in a daze, annoyed and shocked.
His girl was risking her life for him.
Her crazy and numb expression made his heart tighten and ache.
“There is an ambush. Retreat! Retreat!”
The guards panicked and shouted to retreat.
In the blink of an eye, they had suffered a great loss. Dozens of people fell to the ground.
Samantha stood far behind them, the safest place. She looked at the scene with a twisted and ferocious face.
She never expected that there would be an ambush.
With such a strong firepower, if she fought against them head-on, she was likely to die.
As soon as the guards retreated, Florence’s tense nerves relaxed in an instant. Her legs became weak and she fell to the ground uncontrollably.
“Stupid woman.”
The man groaned in chagrin, and then she fell into a broad and solid embrace.
What greeted her was the most familiar cold fragrance, accompanied by a strong smell of blood.
Florence raised her head and saw Ernest’s worried handsome face, frowned eyebrows and his pale face.
Florence’s nose twitched, and the tears that had been suppressing in her eyes poured out at once.
“Ernest，Ernest…”
She sobbed and held him tightly with her trembling hands.
At this moment, the fear she suppressed finally burst out.
She was scared the way that she would see a cold corpse.
She was scared and numb when she shot and killed people, and when the bullets took away a person’s life one by one.
Her eyes seemed to be dyed red, and the world was the color of death.
This place was like hell.
“I’m here. I’m here.”
When she called him, he answered gently.
He held her tightly, stroking her back with his big hands to comfort her.
He knew she was frightened.
She was too strong to shoot just now.
Ernest felt sorry for her and hated himself more. He was framed by Samantha and had no way out, forcing his beloved coward woman to such a situation.
It might be a nightmare for Florence.
“Ernest, I don’t want to leave you… I don’t want to be separated from you… Waah… Please don’t drive me away. I won’t leave you either… If you want to die, just die together. I don’t want to be separated from you even if I die…”
Florence buried her face in Ernest’s neck, sobbing and speaking incoherently.
She was really afraid. The fear on the way was more unbearable than death.
Holding Florence in her arms, Ernest sighed deeply with dim eyes.
Under this circumstance, how could he drive her away.
He patted her on the back and said in a low voice, “We won’t die. Since they have all retreated, we still have a chance.”
Ernest didn’t expect that Florence, who had never touched a gun before, would be so powerful at this time.
She made those guards afraid.
They thought there was a trap, so he could play along.
Still have a chance?
Florence seemed to see a glimmer of light in the darkness. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Ernest with tearful eyes.
She sobbed and said, “is there still a chance?”
“Okay.”
Ernest nodded and put the other pistol in Florence’s hand.
