“Spare me, help me…”
The street was deserted, with hardly any pedestrians on the sidewalks, only occasional vehicles rushing by.
Nana ran along the roadside, holding her daughter who had a high fever. She called out desperately, hoping that someone would appear to help her out of this predicament.
Unfortunately, despite running for dozens of meters and a few cars passing by, not a single one stopped.
Meanwhile, the bikers had caught up to Nana, but upon seeing her panting appearance, they didn’t rush to attack immediately.
“Wow, this beauty has good physical stamina. She can still run so fast while carrying a child!”
“Did you used to do long-distance running? Let’s see if we can outrun her or if the bikes are faster!”
“Hehe, I advise you to stop running. It’s better to give up resistance.”
…
The bikers mocked Nana, intending to exhaust her before making their move.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, a passing taxi suddenly changed direction, veering from the road into the flower bed and heading straight for the sidewalk.
“Whoosh!”
Immediately, screeching brakes were heard as the bikers just noticed the taxi and saw a figure jumping out of it.
Finally, someone came to her rescue, and Nana stopped in her tracks.
“Let her go! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
The voice was loud and powerful, carrying a strong sense of pressure.
Nana felt a sense of familiarity as she focused her gaze and realized it was William.
However, with his appearance, a strong smell of alcohol immediately permeated the surroundings.
“William, it’s you!”
William’s presence surprised and delighted Nana. Taking advantage of the bikers’ stunned state, she quickly rushed to his side.
Seeing Nana holding her child in her arms, and considering the late hour, William immediately understood what was happening.
Janelle must have developed a fever in the middle of the night, and Nana encountered bad people on her way to seek medical help.
William sighed inwardly, realizing that it was fortunate he had gone to the bar to drown his sorrows and, in his dazed state, spotted someone who looked like Nana on his way back.
“Nana, don’t be afraid. I’m here to protect you!”
Emboldened by the alcohol, William grabbed an empty bottle in his hand and waved it at the six or seven bikers.
“Don’t mess around, or this bottle will come for you!”
After saying this, in order to show the bikers that he meant business, William directly smashed the bottle against the helmet of one of them.
As glass shards scattered, the bottle was left with only half, but its destructive power had noticeably increased.
In the next second, William acted swiftly. Although his previous move didn’t cause serious harm to the biker wearing the helmet, he could choose to attack the vulnerable parts.
“Ahh!”
As the biker let out a piercing scream, Nana watched as William thrust the remaining half of the bottle directly into the biker’s abdomen.
In an instant, blood gushed out, and the biker clutched his stomach and fell off the motorcycle.
The others were stunned, not expecting William to be so ruthless.
“You dare to hurt my brother? You’re tired of living!”
The leader of the bikers was furious, revving the throttle on his handlebars, intending to knock William away.
Unfortunately, he was a step too slow, and before he could succeed, William stabbed him in the stomach with the glass bottle as well.
The man fell onto the road, writhing in pain, while the other bikers stood there in shock.
Witnessing the situation, Nana tugged at William’s arm, panting, and reminded him, “Don’t fight with them. Let’s leave here first!”
In a tense state, William had already sobered up. He nodded solemnly.
However, when he turned around, he realized that the taxi driver had stepped on the gas and fled.
With no means of transportation, William furrowed his brow and asked, “Nana, is the child sick?”
Nana nodded anxiously.
Understanding that they couldn’t easily escape from this group of bikers, William had to make another decision on the spot.
He patted Nana’s shoulder and pushed her forward, saying, “You go now with the child. Leave these people to me!”
As William kicked the leader of the bikers who was rolling on the ground, he stood in front of Nana, helping her shake off these hooligans.
The situation was critical and chaotic. After being pushed out of the crowd, Nana ran desperately, determined to get to the hospital to seek treatment for her daughter.
However, as she had just run a few steps, she turned around and saw that the remaining uninjured bikers had jumped off their motorcycles and surrounded William, starting to punch and kick him.
“William…”
Nana’s heart pounded, worried for William, but then she remembered that her parents had also been injured and their fate was still uncertain.
“No, I have to call the police!”
Nana muttered to herself, trembling, as she quickly took out her phone from her bag.
She didn’t dare to intervene with the bikers, but in order to attract their attention and make them stop, she shouted at the top of her lungs while holding her child, “Police! There has been a murder here! A group of bikers is assaulting my friend, and they previously injured my parents…”
The night was quiet, and Nana’s voice echoed through the street, quickly reaching the bikers’ ears.
Upon hearing Nana calling the police, the bikers became afraid of attracting trouble, so they immediately stopped attacking William.
“Damn! Consider yourself lucky!”
One of the hooligans spat at William and helped the two injured members onto their motorcycles. In an instant, they disappeared into the dark night.
Watching the bikers drive further away, Nana finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She dragged her weakened legs to William’s side, lowered her head, and saw that his face was covered in blood from the beating.
“William, are you okay?” Nana asked, worried and blaming herself.
Realizing that the hooligans had already fled, William no longer clutched his head. He got up from the ground and smiled indifferently, “No big deal. What’s a little injury for a man?”
Nana carefully examined him and confirmed that William was indeed not seriously hurt. She quickly dialed the emergency number.
Seeing her trembling hands, William took the opportunity to take the child from her, holding the baby carefully, and asked in astonishment, “What? Your parents were hit? Where are they?”
After Nana finished the emergency call, she pointed in the direction they came from.
“The nearby residential area is where my parents and I live. They were hit by the bikers downstairs. They were trying to save me and the child…”
With tears choking her voice, Nana turned and dashed towards the residential area.
Shortly after, an ambulance rushed into the residential area and immediately transported all the injured to the hospital for treatment.
Fortunately, Jerry and Tracy, apart from leg injuries and superficial abrasions on their upper bodies, were not seriously injured.
They were both taken into the operating room, while William was called into the emergency room for wound treatment.
Nana was busy getting her daughter checked, relieved to hear that her baby’s head injury wasn’t serious. Only then did she let go of her worries.
However, just after the doctor administered a fever-reducing injection, the child’s high fever didn’t subside, leaving Nana still anxious and uneasy.
