Chapter 170

“Hang in there, Elgin, the ambulance is on its way, any minute now…” Letitia muttered, “Do it for me, will you? Don’t doze off, hang tough…”

She was scared to death.

Elgin wanted to clean her tears, but he just didn’t have the strength. If he could even save his hand, that’d be a miracle…

Letitia held him, her head against his cheek, just wanting to hold on to him tightly.

“Why’d you have to go and play the fool… why? Shela tells you to hurt yourself and you just do it! And then your went and pulled out the knife. Weren’t you scared of bleeding out? Do you even care about your hand? Listen up, Elgin, if you end up disabled, don’t think I won’t hold it against you! You hear me?! You’ve gotta pull through, you just have to…”

Elgin mustered a weak smile, slowly closing his eyes again.

“Letty…” he spoke with great effort slowly, “Just keep on, keep living…”

With that, Elgin closed his eyes, his hand falling to his side.

“Elgin!” Letitia’s voice pierced the night.

him!

Just as the doors closed, she saw Shela lying on the ground.

Samson had rushed over.

Letitia breathed a sigh of relief. Let Samson handle the scene and he’d sort it all out.

She thought about it and tears fell once again.

All this must have been arranged by Elgin before he came to her rescue.

He met with Shela alone, playing down her guard while secretly arranging for bodyguards, which was why so many of them stormed in at the last minute.

Inside, Elgin faced danger while Samson coordinated from outside.
