The pain in Cedron’s eyes as he said this was hard to hide.
Alexis wanted to comfort him, but couldn’t find the right words.
While trying to search her stomach for some better words of comfort, she glimpsed out of the corner of her eye a woman dressed in rags making her way up the cemetery. Gripped in that dirty hand was a chilling dagger!
Looking more closely, the woman’s appearance became more and more familiar.
It was actually–
“Mr. Navarro look, that looks like Agustin, oh my god, why is she holding a knife in her hand and moving up, she can’t be going to the headstone heel!” Alexis said anxiously.
As the words landed, there was no Cedron anywhere in sight.
In just a few seconds, Cedron had already run far away.
Unable to reach for the tributes in the trunk, Alexis hurriedly chased after them as well.
Cedron had chosen the child’s grave at the top of a hill, a location that overlooked all the surrounding scenery, but it was also very physically demanding to climb up.
Cedron has a terrible stomachache and can’t climb very fast at all.
Alexis, who had just come down from the top, had lost most of her energy and could not catch up with Agustin.
Seeing that Agustin was about to reach the tombstone, Alexis finally remembered to call Anna.
After a few beeps, the phone was answered.
“Miss Newman, run quickly, that crazy woman Agustin is coming with a dagger, be careful!”
“Crazy woman?” A sharp and ear-piercing maniacal laughter erupted from the other end of the phone, “Alexis, it’s not because of you guys that I’ve turned into the crazy woman I am now!”
Oops!
The person who answered the phone was Agustin.
That means that Anna has …
Without waiting for Alexis to ask, Agustin had already started to urge, “Make Cedron come see me or I’ll kill Anna right now!”
“Have a talk, you don’t want to hurt Miss Newman, Agustin, oh no, Miss Barbero, I’ll give you whatever you want, just don’t be impulsive.” Alexis even put a much softer tone in her voice as she spoke.
But Agustin still sounded hysterical, “Hurry up and get Cedron to meet me or I’ll kill Anna right now!”
“Fine, fine, we’ll come up now, you mustn’t move Miss Newman,” Alexis said.
Across the room Agustin hung up viciously.
Alexis turned her head to Cedron behind her with an expression that was about to burst into tears, “Mr. Navarro, what to do, Agustin has taken Miss Newman hostage.”
What else could be done?
“Whatever it takes, go save Anna, I want her unharmed.” Cedron said in a firm and unrelenting tone.
Alexis also finally found her voice when she heard this.
Rushing to nod her head, “Yes Mr. Navarro, I know, whatever it takes, I will save Miss Newman.”
“No,” Cedron corrected with a shake of his head, “Not you, me.”
He would have saved Anna, one way or another.
Because, Agustin was running to him.
Alexis, dumbfounded, had tried to persuade, and before she could speak, Agustin in front of the tombstone had spotted them.
As Cedron said, Agustin’s eyes were all over him, almost hideous and twisted as he opened his mouth, “Cedron, I thought you wouldn’t come, want to save your woman? Then hurry up and get your ass up here!”
The words spoken were as arrogant as they could be.
Alexis was furious, wanting to say when has her own Mr. Navarro ever been bullied and humiliated like this.
But before he could open his mouth, he heard Cedron reply, “Coming.”
Then, in Alexis’s unbelieving gaze, he slowly walked towards Agustin.
It was only when he reached the tombstone’s heel that Cedron could see what was now happening.
Lynx had collapsed on the ground, his hands covered in blood, pressing his stomach in death, his face pale to the core.
But at the sight of Cedron, he still managed to have the strength to shout out, “Mr. Navarro, save Anna, the dagger in her hand is sharp, Anna will die if this stalemate continues.”
“Alexis,” Cedron turned his head and ordered, “You take Lynx to the hospital.”
Alexis where willing, “I can’t go, or what will you do Mr. Navarro?”
Cedron didn’t care about himself, “Take him to the hospital, he’s Anna’s senior, I can’t let him die.”
It wasn’t just Anna, but anyone and everything that had to do with Anna, he would protect!
