FreeNovelChapter 317
She wondered if Shawn had felt the same when Shawn
witnessed Susan cutting her face.
Shawn asked again, “Is this fine? I’m badly injured. I can’t fight back. I’ll slowly pass out from the blood
loss. You can absolutely subdue me. Susan, we should start the exchange.”
He impatiently walked forward.
Susan was still stunned. “Exchange… Wait.”
Shawn stopped. “I had already done what you asked. What are you still worried about?”
At the same time, voices could be heard through the miniature earpiece in his ear.
“Mr. Wood, the snipers are in position.”
“The ambush is in position.”
“We can rush in at any moment.”
All of those people were waiting for Shawn’s orders.
They would charge in guns blazing with an order. They would be able to subdue Susan in just a few
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtseconds.
Yet, Shawn did not dare to risk it.
Gale was in Susan’s hands.
Using a sniper was far too dangerous. If there were any mistake, it would be irreversible!
So, Shawn did not say anything. He did not give a single
response. He had everyone stand in place, waiting for his order.
“Mr. Wood? Mr. Wood? Can we fire?”
“The snipers are already in the best position.”
He remained silent.
No one dared to make a move.
It looked like Shawn was there alone, but he had already placed his men all around the whole location.
However, he was still not confident.
A minor mistake could cause him to lose Gale forever.
“Let’s do it now.” Shawn’s lips were already turning white. “You could beat me with one hand right
now.”
His large body was starting to sway.
Any normal person would already have fainted after getting stabbed in the arm. Shawn barely
managed to maintain his consciousness.
He did not know how long he could hold on.
However, he needed to make sure he stayed conscious until he could see Gale out of danger.
“Now!” Shawn shouted through clenched teeth, not able to delay things any longer.
After that, he did not even give Susan any time to think before he walked over.
Susan still had her knife against Gale’s throat. Her other hand was holding Gale’s shoulder as she
looked at the incoming Shawn in alarm.
“Stay one meter away. Alright, stop right there,” Susan said.
She slowly tried to push Gale away, but the knife never left Gale’s neck.
When she saw that Shawn was not doing anything, she relaxed.
Susan suddenly pushed Gale forward before quickly
grabbing Shawn and putting the knife against Shawn’s
neck.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAll Gale felt was herself being pushed forward. After she staggered forward a few steps, she fell to the
ground.
Her palm scratched against the gravel, which burned in pain as she bled.
Yet, she could not care less at that moment. She quickly turned around to look at what was happening
behind her.
Susan had Shawn.
Her knife was against his throat.
There was a thin line between life and death!
She shouted out, “Shawn!”
Was she really just going to look on as he died?
He would die in order to save her.
Shawn wanted her to be safe. He wanted her to live a long and healthy life, but he never thought about
the nightmares that would plague her after she witnessed everything happening. The night would stay
with her forever, never going away!
Susan laughed and said, “Shawn, you’re always so proud of yourself, but right now, you’re still…”
Before she could finish, something suddenly happened.
Shawn suddenly reached down, pulling out the knife in his arm!
