Tangled Temptations

Chapter 267

Chapter 256

With a loud crash, Joan was knocked to the ground, a pool of blood spreading around her.

Eloise's hands, gripping the steering wheel, were trembling uncontrollably. It wasn't that she didn't have any mental barriers, but she simply didn't have time to think about it.

All she could think was, what would happen to Linda if Joan got away?

The kindergarten security managed to detain Joan, and someone had called the police. Linda was crying in fear. The scene was chaotic.

Eloise was shaking all over when she got out of the car. She knew she had to get Joan to a hospital, but how could she explain the situation? Could she even take Joan away?

Just then, a warm hand grasped hers, "Eloise, don't worry."

Eloise froze, quickly turning around. It was Harvey!

Seeing him, she felt all the strength drain from her body. She only remembered calling his name with a trembling voice, "Harvey!"

Harvey squeezed her hand, his voice hoarse, "Leave it to me."

He then walked quickly to Linda's side and pulled the hemostatic enzyme out of his coat pocket and gave her another one.

Linda's little legs were covered in blood. Harvey felt his heart wrench. He picked her up, the little girl resting against his chest, her face streaked with tears. "Daddy, it hurts so much."

Harvey kissed her forehead, his voice barely audible, "Daddy will take you to the hospital."

With time running out, he handed Linda to Eloise, "Get in the car."

He then went to grab Joan from the ground, dialing a number on his phone, "Mr. Wisman, it's Harvey. An assault happened at the kindergarten. The perpetrator has been subdued by my wife but might be in critical condition. We're taking her to the hospital... Yes, it should be fine."

After a brief exchange, he hung up.

Joan seemed to realize something. She trembled, her voice raspy, "No! No! Harvey. You wouldn't do this to me."

Harvey's lips formed two words, "I will." With that, he tossed Joan into another car.
