Serina glanced at her and pushed the door a crack.
“Blueberry, Cherry, run!” she shouted.
A gunshot went off.
Serina knelt on the ground as a sharp pain shot through her calf.
Blood seeped down the bullet hole.
“Blueberry, take Cherry! Run!”
Cherry was scared out of her wits when she heard the gunshot. She started crying again.
Blueberry stayed calm. “Mommy!”
“Don’t worry about me, go! Take Cherry and go! Hurry!” Serina urged.
Blueberry was only three and a half years old and didn’t experience a lot. She was also frightened.
She also didn’t know what to do.
Zoe, who rested and ate well, quickly caught up.
Seeing Blueberry freeze, Serina struggled to stand up and pushed Blueberry. “Blueberry, quick! Take Cherry! Go out to call people. Go!”
“Serina, stop! Or I’ll aim at your daughters!”
Zoe shouted as she ran.
Serina pushed the twins out of the door. “Blueberry, now!”
Blueberry glanced at Serina, held Cherry’s hand, and ran out.
Serina grabbed Zoe around the middle.
“Get off me! Or I will shoot!”
“Try it! If you kill me, let’s see how you threaten Derek!”
Zoe knew that Serina was her best chance to ensure Derek and Serina live in pain.
“Zoe! The twins are innocent. Release them and I will be your hostage!”
“I won’t run away anymore!” Serina bargained.
Zoe was alone. She was not stupid. If she wanted to chase the two children back, she had to subdue Serina first. However, Serina was tough. Only if she shot and killed Serina, she could take her down. And she couldn’t kill Serina.
As time went by, it was difficult to find two children in the wilderness.
Zoe suddenly smiled. “Serina, are you assured to let the kids go out in the middle of the night? Here’s the middle of nowhere. I don’t know if they will encounter bad people. But I know there are wolves and wild dogs.”
It was the outskirts of the city. Not far ahead was a bare hill. Although it was not big, there were still wolves.
Plus, it was the middle of the night.
Serina could not help but worry.
“Serina, if you are okay with your twins being taken away by wolves or kidnapped by other people, I won’t chase them.”
Zoe relaxed.
She was sure that Serina would not feel comfortable letting the two little kids outside.
As expected, Serina wavered. The moment she released her grip, Zoe rushed to the door. But in a flash, she was taken down by Serina again!
At that moment, Serina figured it out. The children might have a chance to live in the wilderness, but they would be killed if they stayed.
Zoe lost her mind. She would not let them off!
Zoe was startled. She did not expect that Serina would pounce over.
“I won’t let you hurt my daughters!” Serina held Zoe tightly.
“Serina Norris! Let go of me immediately! Otherwise, I will shoot!”
Zoe struggled.
“Shoot me if you can! Without me, how can you threaten Derek! He will cut you into pieces!” said Serina through gritted teeth.
Of course, Zoe did not dare to kill Serina. The two children had already run out. Now her only leverage was Serina.
If Serina died, not only would she not be able to take revenge, she would die miserably!
“Serina, do you want your daughters to be taken away by wolves?”
“It’s better than dying in your hands!” Serina didn’t fall for her trick!
Zoe wanted to break free from Serina. In desperation, she raised her hand and shot Serina in the arm.
Serina felt a searing pain but she gritted her teeth and pulled herself together.
She knew the longer she persisted, the farther Cherry and Blueberry ran. No matter what, she would not let Zoe go!
Zoe was also worried that Serina would die. After firing this shot, she did not dare to continue shooting. Instead, she struggled wildly.
Zoe was full and had some sleep. She had plenty of strength, while Serina had not eaten for over ten hours.
Therefore, Zoe still had the advantage.
The wounds on the leg and arm were killing Serina. Coupled with the fact that she had not eaten or rested, Serina’s energy was draining out.
She was relying on her willpower to endure.
Feeling that Serina’s strength was slowly decreasing, Zoe began to relax.
“Serina, you are exhausted. Let me tell you, I’ll catch your daughters. And I’ll break their legs first!” Zoe kicked, right on Serina’s temple.
Serina fainted all of a sudden.
Outside the factory.
Blueberry held Cherry’s hand and ran quickly. But they were just children who were barely four years old. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t run at the speed they wanted.
Moreover, they hadn’t eaten for over ten hours.
Cherry tripped over a rock.
Blueberry hurried to hold her up.
“Blueberry. I can’t run anymore.” Cherry sat on the ground and burst into tears.
“Cherry, we have to run. We have to find someone to save Mommy! Can you be stronger?”
Cherry shook her head. “But I really can’t run anymore.”
At that moment, a glare of the headlights shone over. Cherry shouted happily, “Someone is coming!”
“Get up and hide in the grass!” Blueberry immediately covered Cherry’s mouth.
She pulled Cherry and hid in the grass beside them.
“Why..”
“Don’t talk!” Blueberry said carefully, “What if they are bad people? We are children.”
The car suddenly stopped.
“What’s going on?” Derek asked as he leaned forward.
The moment he received Zoe’s call, he rushed back from the United States.
“I saw two creatures on the road just now.” The driver looked outside carefully.
He rubbed his eyes.
“It’s late at night. Is it an illusion? Hurry up and drive. We’re in a hurry!” Hayden urged.
The driver nodded. “It may not be real or maybe they’re wildcats here.”
The driver restarted the engine.
“Drive faster!” Derek ordered.
Even if it was a minute or a second, he couldn’t bear to lose!
