Chapter 181 A Dying Wish

"Larissa! Get out of the way!"

Sonya screamed, but it was too late.

She watched as Larissa was hit by the speeding car, her body flung into the air before crashing heavily onto the pavement. For a second, Sonya froze. Then, snapping out of it, she rushed forward.

Larissa lay in a pool of blood, coughing up more with every breath. She twisted her head, searching for something, or someone.

Juggling her phone with shaky hands, Sonya dialed 911 while pulling the stunned little boy closer, so that Larissa could see him.

Across the street, the car that had just hit Larissa slowed and parked.

Sonya looked at it. Its windows were tinted black, revealing nothing of the driver inside. It idled there for about ten seconds, maybe more, before speeding off.

Sonya locked the license plate number in her memory, but that was a problem for later. Right now, she had to focus on Larissa.

Larissa clutched her son's tiny hand, her eyes filled with sorrow and desperation.

""M-Milton..."

The little boy trembled, holding onto his mother's arm. "Mommy... you're bleeding... Get up... Let's go to the hospital..."

Sonya worked frantically to stop the bleeding, but she knew. Larissa wasn't going to make it.

The ambulance arrived quickly, and Sonya climbed in with Milton.

A paramedic tried to place an oxygen mask over Larissa's face, but with an unexpected burst of strength, she pushed it away. Her eyes found Sonya's, filled with urgency. Sonya quickly leaned in. "I'm listening. Tell me."

"Milton..."

"I know," Sonya said softly. "You're worried about him."
