The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow by Helena R. Bates

Chapter 128

"Baldrick, are you really going to stop Judson and Nancy from leaving? Didn't you see Nancy's head bleeding?"

Baldrick had only seen Judson putting Nancy into the car, missing the part where she was injured, and his voice trembled with panic. "What's happened to Nancy?"

"She almost died and was about to be stripped and filmed. Luckily, Judson got there just in time," Michael replied with nonchalance that belied the seriousness of the situation.

Baldrick's face went ashen, and as he came to his senses, he moved to get in the car, only to have his wrist grabbed.

"Let go!" Baldrick shouted, his voice filled with urgency.

Michael cut straight to the chase. "Judson's taking Nancy to the hospital. Are you sure you want to go there too, instead of dealing with this mess?"

Baldrick paused, instantly grasping the meaning behind Michael's words, and glanced toward the small wooden cabin engulfed in flames.

A cold determination flickered in Baldrick's eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly. "I understand."

"Make sure you handle it," Michael said, patting Baldrick's shoulder before striding away.
