The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 129

“Victoria! Victoria, is that you? Victoria?”
“Victoria! Victoria, is that you? Victoria?”

Just as Victoria’s mind went hazy, she suddenly heard someone calling for her. Using every ounce of strength she had left, she opened her eyes to see a frantic Gabrielle beyond the glass door.

Looking at Victoria’s complexion, Gabrielle became anxious. “Victoria, what’s wrong? You’re scaring me. I’ll open the door right away!”

“Don’t… Cough… Don’t…” Victoria intended to tell Gabrielle not to bother her, but she could not stop coughing whenever she spoke due to the accumulated phlegm in her throat. As such, she failed to even throw those two words out.

Agitated, Gabrielle’s face turned pallid. As she kept comforting Victoria, she contacted Charlotte. “Charlotte, Victoria is trapped on the rooftop. She’s barely holding on. C-Could you rush here with the k-keys, please?”

She was so anxious that she was at her wit’s end. Tears were streaming down her cheeks before she knew it. After receiving a positive answer from Charlotte, Gabrielle hung up the phone and began to pace back and forth. “Victoria, don’t be afraid. You’ll be fine. I think there’s a fire extinguisher somewhere. I’ll find it. Don’t be afraid. Relax…”

She began raving probably because she was too nervous and scared.

Meanwhile, Victoria’s breathing became rapid as her heart was beating profusely. She could not even utter a word without coughing vigorously first.

The purple lips on her pale ghastly countenance darkened slightly. She was aware that she would leave the world just like that if she did not rush to the hospital right now.

Nevertheless, she was not scared one bit. Rather, anticipation sparked in her. It was the exact same feeling during the time she spread her arms to welcome the car.

She was neither afraid of the existence of hell nor worried about the non-existence of heaven. At that moment, she was only hoping Gabrielle would be slow in finding the fire extinguisher and sending her to the hospital. That way, her wish would be granted—she could leave the world.

However, things did not turn out as she wished.

Clang!

The ordinary glass door at the rooftop was not that sturdy. It did not take Gabrielle too much strength to smash the glass upon finding a fire extinguisher.

Ignoring the big cut on her arm, she lifted it and smashed on the door repeatedly. Then, she tossed it away and walked through the door frame toward Victoria.
