Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall

Chapter 30

Chapter 30
“Damn, this path is a nightmare. Forget it, she’s definitely dead!”
“Let’s head back, man. We don’t want to end up dead here before we even find the woman, do we?”
“Let’s go-waah!” Just as the three black-clad guys were about to head back, a tree branch suddenly swung at them from behind.
With
thunderous crack, the trio screamed, lost their footing, and plunged into the abyss, shattered to pieces.
Finally, Emma could hold on no longer; her footing slipped, and she fell toward the bottom of the cliff..
‘Am I dying?’ The thought rushed through her mind when a hand suddenly grasped her wrist.
“Hold on tight to me!” someone shouted.
Emma’s eyes widened in astonishment at the sound. It was the same familiarity and the same person as in her previous life, descending from the heavens like a deity, appearing before her in her moment of utter despair and near death.
She saw Liam, struggling to ask, “Why… why are you here?”
“Don’t be afraid, Emma. I won’t let anything happen to you!” Liam replied.
In that instant, Emma seemed to hear Liam’s voice from her past life. “Emma, don’t be afraid. I won’t let you walk alone on the road to the afterlife. I’ll be with you.” She couldn’t tell if it was a dream or an illusion, but she knew she wouldn’t repeat the same mistakes this time.

With the last bit of her strength, she tightly grasped Liam’s hand. As her consciousness waned, she murmured, “Liam… I won’t miss you again
this time…”
Emma felt like she had woken up from a long dream. When she opened her eyes again, she was still in the car she had driven there. They were bumping along a rugged mountain road, and she noticed the black suit jacket draped over her.
The familiar texture and scent instantly brought back the final moments of the ordeal. It was Liam who had saved her.
“Liam…” She hesitated to call out.
“Emma?” Liam’s previous annoyance vanished at her voice, replaced by a deep concern for her. “It’s okay. The cops have got those guys under control. We’re almost home now,” he said, gently patting her.
“Mm…” Hearing him, Emma let out a small sigh of relief when suddenly someone up front said, “Mr. Hall, we’ve got a tail!”
“Who are they?” Liam’s voice was stern. “The same bunch as before?”
“No, looks like it might be Mr. Brad’s men!” Came the reply.
‘Brad.’ Liam silently read the name, his every cell and breath becoming inexplicably dark and gloomy. Indeed, Brad was always watching him, as he expected. Any slight move from him and Brad’s men would track him down.
Levi’s reminder was not without reason; Sending out Team Thunder to rescue Emma had undoubtedly exposed Liam himself to danger. But for now, Emma’s safety was the best possible outcome. Liam had no regrets. “Call everyone nearby to be ready for it,” he ordered.
“No can do, Mr. Hall. If we expose TeamThunder, all these years of patience would be for nothing! You take the car and go with Mrs. Hall first. I’ll get out and hold them off!” The speaker was a top operative from Team Thunder, fiercely loyal and a trusted right-hand man. In critical

moments, he was willing to die for Liam.
Liam naturally didn’t want his brothers, who had followed him for so many years, to take risks. In the midst of the dilemma, he felt a hand on his waist, gently tugging at his sleeve. “Emma?”
“Liam…” Emma was very weak, but her consciousness was clear. She gritted her teeth and said, “In my car, the drawer in the front passenger seat… There’s a small set of gear… just assemble it, it’ll be useful against them…” Before she could finish, a fit of cough overwhelmed her.
Being highly security-conscious, Emma always kept a bunch of odd items in her car, and luckily, they were in her car now. Otherwise, it would
have been a dire situation.
As soon as Emma finished, the person driving the car pulled open the drawer Emma mentioned, half believing and half doubting. Upon seeing the contents in the drawer, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Holy crap, flashbangs and tear gas!”
