Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 557

Chapter 557: Don't get caught in the rubble.

[FLASHBACK]

"Four Bennets down... that only leaves Slater Bennet."

Finn gazed down at Nina before he pushed himself up. Turning to leave her to die, he stopped when he felt a weak grip on his ankle. He raised a brow and glanced back at her, only to see Nina opening her mouth, revealing the blood smeared across her teeth.

"Help... me..." she whispered, tears flowing down her cheeks. "... please... Finn."

Finn had his lips drawn into a thin line, staring into her shaky eyes as she cried for help. Her hold on his ankle was loose, and he could easily kick it away. However, he stared down at her without saying a word before a shallow breath slipped past his lips.

Finn sat in a chair beside the hospital bed in a private ward. His eyes were fixed on the woman lying there. Another sigh escaped him.

'I should've let her die in there,' he thought, still watching Nina. 'But then again...'

Finn had known Nina from a very early age, even into adulthood. He often met her because Finn was friends with her husband. Moreover, Atlas used to be Finn's classmate, so he considered her a friend.

"I wonder what he'd say about this?" he whispered to himself, uncertain of what would happen now. Yet, for some reason, he felt not the slightest hint of regret. If anything, he felt that saving her was the right thing to do.

'She still has her uses once this is all over,' he thought, raising his brows when he heard the door slide open.

Finn glanced toward the end of the partition, waiting for someone to appear. When he saw the person, no words were needed; he nodded in understanding.
