Love Contract

Chapter 207 Saving Children Alone (Part Two)

William paused and touched Mary's face gently. "I won't let you take any risk. Tomorrow when you wake up, I will take Alick and Elissa with me. I'll bring our children back.

But what if I could not come back?" William shook his head bitterly. "No, I haven't been with you as a real couple yet. I haven't proposed to you for marriage. I haven't walked into the church with you. We still have a lot of things to do. Wait for me. I will definitely come back."

The moon was bright and clear overhead, and there was a single lonely star in the sky.

William stood up resolutely but he could not help but look back at Mary's peaceful sleeping face. After gazing at her for a moment, he turned around and left.

He drove Mary's car and headed for the western suburbs in the darkness of the dawn.

He arrived there smoothly.

"Our target is coming!" As soon as he saw Mary's car approaching, a man in the warehouse reported to his boss.

"Finally." A smile played at the corners of Frank's mouth. All he wanted now was to end Mary's life!

"Tom, take your men out first," Andy said to a bald man next to her.

"Okay!" A dozen people rushed out of the warehouse and surrounded the car at once.

Frank stood up from the chair and said, "Let's go. It's time for us to show up."

"Sure!"

"Andy!" When the two were about to set out, a man ran back with a panic look. "The person sitting in the car is a man!"

"A man? How could it be?" Startled, Frank grabbed the telescope on the table and looked through it. His lips trembled slightly. "How could it be? William? It's him!"

"What? Really?" Even Andy was also stunned. "What should we do?"

"Should we..." The man, who came to report, fiercely made a "neck cutting" gesture.

"No way!" Frank interrupted the man coldly. "We can't touch him! Go and inform our men outside that the situation has changed. Don't hit that man! Put away all your weapons!"

"Well..."

"We can't do anything on that man." Andy added, "Then our targets can be changed to the two kids."

Outside the warehouse, William opened the door of the car. He looked around at the dozen men surrounding him, and stepped out of the car slowly.

"Where are my children?"

"Your children?" Tom looked askance at William and said threateningly, "What we want is the woman named Mary Lu. What are you doing here?"

"I'm her husband. Why don't you come to me? What kind of man deals with a woman?" A smile played at the corners of William's mouth.

"Wow! You're quite arrogant, aren't you?" Tom spat out a mouthful of saliva. "Exchange your woman for your children. Otherwise, even you yourself won't be able to go back!"

"Then... at least, you should let me see my children first, right?"

"Who do you think you are? How dare you ask me to show you — "

While Tom was talking, another man ran out of the warehouse and whispered in his ear.

The expression in Tom's eyes changed when he looked at William. He waved his hand impatiently to his men and said, "You two go and bring the two little fellows out!" "Yes, sir."

Looking at Tom's abnormal behaviors, William looked into the warehouse subconsciously.

"Dad!"

Suddenly, a clear cry brought back William's thoughts. He hurriedly looked to the source of the voice, and saw two little fellows being carried out by two men. Their clothes were worn out and they were both dirty.

As soon as the two kids saw William, they burst into tears. Elissa cried out and stretched her arms towards her father. "Dad! Elissa is so scared! Dad... Woo!"

"Wah!" Alick did not say anything, but he also burst into tears when he saw William.

"Alick! Elissa!" William called out. He was about to step forward when several men pointed their gun to his head.

"Put down your weapon!" Tom roared to his men immediately.

Upon hearing that, William was stunned. But for a second, his brain made an accurate judgment. Apparently, these people were very polite to him so William thought that he could make good use of it.

"What the hell do you want?" William gritted his teeth and pretended he was angry. "If you want money, I'll send someone to deliver it here right away!"

"All we want is the woman named Mary Lu!"

"Dad, help!" Elissa, in the arms of a kidnapper aside, pounded the man who was holding her tightly. All of a sudden, she bit the kidnapper's hand.

"You little bastard!" The man gasped and he swung his huge fist to the little girl.

"Elissa!" shouted William. He rushed to step forward and kicked the man down before his fist could even reach the little girl. He then held the child in his arms.

Then, with a lightning speed, William took out his weapon and shot the man who was holding Alick in between his eyebrows with a loud bang. Slowly, the man fell to the ground.

The dozen or so people stood anxiously as they watched their own men fall down.

"Alick!" William held Alick in his arms and finally felt relieved.

"Dad!" All of a sudden, Alick put his arms around William's neck and cried out in grievance and fear. "I knew you'd come to save Elissa and me!"

As William looked at Alick's young face and heard his shout, his body trembled. Finally, he heard his son address him as "Dad". "All of you, go! Keep them all!"

"Ah!" More than a dozen men waved their fists and rushed over.

As William held the two little fellows in his arms, his strength and skills were restricted. He kicked the man in the front, but he was hit on the back by the man coming up from behind.

Seeing that he was besieged by enemies from the front and the back, William still desperately protected the two little fellows.

Squeak!

All of a sudden, more cars arrived to the warehouse. The men inside the car moved quickly and they were also armed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Archer got off the car first and shot the kidnappers quickly. Several of them fell to the ground in an instant.

"Ah!" It was the first time that Elissa had seen such a scene. She was so scared that she burst into tears.

"Don't be afraid! Good girl!" Seeing that his men had arrived, William felt relieved. He hurriedly comforted the little girl in his arms and dodged the man beside him at the same time.

"Ah!" Seeing that reinforcements came, the kidnappers started to kill for defense. William dodged a kidnapper attacking aside, but he did not notice Tom behind him. Tom took an iron bar from nowhere, raised it high, and swung it at Alick.

"Watch out!"

someone exclaimed. Feeling the danger behind him, William instinctively protected Alick. He heard the wind from the iron rod brushing his ear.

Bang!

The iron bar hit William's head hard at once.

William felt that the sky and the earth spun around him. A hot stream of blood gushed out from his head. Suddenly, his arm lost all its strength and his tall body fell down slowly.

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

"William!"

William's pupils dilated. With a thud, he fell to the ground, splashing thick dust. The blue and white sky was the last thing William had seen.

At dawn, a group of people came in and out of Barry's villa.

"Alick! Elissa!" Mary screamed and sprang up from the bed, gasping for air because of fear. "Mary? What's wrong? Are you awake?" Hearing her scream, Victor rushed over.

"Where are Alick and Elissa? Are they back yet?" Mary got up from the bed and grabbed Victor tightly. "How are they now? Is there any news?"

"Calm down, Mary." Victor held her hands tightly. "Don't worry. They have been rescued!"

"Really? Really? Where are they?" Tears streamed down Mary's face. "They... were they really rescued? Where are they now? I want to see them!"

"They are in the hospital."

"Did they get hurt? Are they okay?" Mary's heart tightened and she continued, "I want to see them! I'm going to see them now!"

"The kids are both fine!" Victor patted Mary's back to calm her down. "They're okay. I'll take you to see them right now!"

"Yes! Okay!" Nodding repeatedly, Mary got in the car with Victor and rushed to the hospital.

"They are both fine," said Victor with difficulty in the car. "But..."

"But what?"

"William was injured. He went to rescue Alick and Elissa."

"He..." Mary's body was shaking. "Was he seriously injured?"

"He was hit on the head with an iron rod," said Victor with a frown. "Lucas called and said that the operation was still ongoing."

Boom!

Suddenly, Mary leaned against the back of the seat. She no longer had the strength to say anything more. Upon hearing what Victor had said, her injured ear started buzzing.

His head was hit by an iron rod? Gosh! How could it be?

Mary bit her lips tightly and prayed silently. 'William, please be okay! Please, be okay!'

Mary did not know how she rushed into the hospital. All she remembered was that she staggered along the way. As soon as the two kids saw her, they came to her.

"Mommy!"

"Mommy, wah!"

Like a conditioned reflex, Mary held the two kids in her arms. She was happy that they were safe but her eyes were empty as she stared at the door of the operating room.

The closed door of the operating room, the red light, and the silent corridor.

"Where is Dad?" Elissa answered while sobbing, "Dad has lost a lot of blood."

"Dad will be fine." Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Mary was shocked by the words. Her eyelids twitched and she answered dully, "Yes. He will be fine. He will be fine."
