Sean furrowed his brows and shot Nikki a displeased look.
“Nikki, Ms. Craig is in danger now and I have to go save her.”
Then, he flung her arm away and snapped, “Get out of my way!”
Seeing how worried he was, Nikki sniffed and reached out to grab him once more.
”Can’t you not go, Sean? Didn’t you and Ms. Craig meet only yesterday? If so, why is she asking you
for help instead of asking her friends or family?
“You only met her last night, yet you’ve already suffered so many injuries because of her. That’s
enough! You don’t owe her anything, so please don’t go!”
Tears started to fall as Nikki added, “Sean, I’m really worried about you. Ms. Craig doesn’t seem like a
good person. Besides…”
She sniffed. “Besides, now that I’m so weak, aren’t you afraid of what’ll happen to me if you leave me
alone? Can you not go…”
A hint of impatience flashed through Sean’s eyes when he saw Nikki crying.
However, he reminded himself that she was terribly ill, so he forced himself to suppress his emotions
and said calmly, “Nikki, I’m going to save her. She’s not a bad person, and if she had managed to get in
touch with her family and friends, she wouldn’t have called me in the first place.
“I’m not that important to her.” Nikki bit her lip.
“Well, since that’s the case, you—”.
“Because of this, the fact that she called me means that she couldn’t get in touch with anyone else to
help her,” Sean interrupted her curtly.
“Nikki, time is running out, so get out of my way!”
Then, he turned and left.
Nikki bit her lip as she watched him leave, then quickly chased after him.
“Sean! Do you think she’s more important than me? I’m terminally ill! If you leave me home alone…”
“Nikki.” Sean froze in his steps.
“I know you can take care of yourself. Besides, you’ve always been home alone when I go out to work,
and nothing bad has ever happened.
“I’m heading out now, and I promise to buy you some of your favorite cake when I get home.”
Then, he strode out of the house.
Nikki remained motionless, staring at Sean’s retreating figure, and clenched her fists.
For some reason, she could not help thinking that…if Sean was to find Bonnie, she would lose him
forever!
As soon as she thought of this, Nikki took out her phone and dialed Sean’s number.
At this moment, Sean had already left the house in his car.
The car he drove was a very old, second-hand car he had found from the factory he worked at and
fixed up himself so that it worked fine as transportation.
However, the car was very noisy, and it took a long time before he finally heard his phone ringing. He
furrowed his brows when he saw the name on the screen.
Nikki, I’m already on my way to find Ms. Craig. You…”
“Sean,” Nikki’s voice sounded frail from the other end of the line.
“Can you come back and send me to the hospital? I… I think I triggered an attack.” Sean could feel his
chest tighten when he heard this. However, a split second later, he could not help feeling something
was not right.
