Amanda screamed as one of Reid's bodyguards was shot straight in the chest. The bodyguard immediately collapsed as blood flowed freely from his shirt."Take cover in the car," said Reid, grabbing Amanda's arm and then pushing the woman into his car.Amanda widened her eyes when she saw Reid, instead of taking cover in the car, but instead turning around to leave. Amanda hurriedly held Reid's arm."Where are you going?" Amanda asked frantically.“I have to fight them,” Reid said.“Reid, don't. Let your guards do that. Don't risk your life," said Amanda.But Reid shook his head.Reid removed Amanda's hand from his arm, he bent down and put his arm around her shoulder. With sharp eyes, Reid looked at Amanda."Stay hidden here, don't come out," said Reid in a demanding tone.At the same time, another gunshot was heard.Reid clenched his jaw. "But if the situation starts to get out of control, you must leave this place immediately." Reid handed his car keys into Amanda's hands. After that,

Reid widened his eyes when he saw Amanda's body fall to the ground.“Amanda!” he exclaimed. Reid immediately ran towards the woman. He turned her over and placed her on his lap. Reid's hands were suddenly wet with blood seeping from Amanda's back. The red color on her silver dress looked very striking.“Reid, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought you to this place," Amanda said haltingly.Reid ignored Amanda's words and chose to take off his jacket, draping the cloth around Amanda's back, hoping to stop the flow of blood there."It's useless, Reid, I know I won't survive," Amanda said again with difficulty.“Stop talking nonsense. You will be safe. You're the strongest woman I've ever known, so don't give up now," said Reid in a scolding tone at Amanda.Amanda smiled weakly. “You know I never talk nonsense. I know I can't survive tonight.”Reid shook his head. “Hang in there. Soon reinforcements will come. I'll take you to see the best doctor," Reid said like a promise. His hand held Am

Until night fell, Elena didn't know what she should do to thwart the murder plan.She didn't have the ability to fight the hitman, she didn't understand martial arts at all.Elena thought about sabotaging the hitman by paying him more than her father paid. She was sure the hitman would be interested.However, how much did his father promise? Elena is sure the number is not small. For a life, especially the life of an important person, the price must be fantastic. Moreover, his father promised to give three times the money if the hitman succeeded in killing Reid.Meanwhile, how much money does Elena have?Elena began to doubt that the amount of her savings could even reach one time the payment her father would give the hitman. Since divorcing Alex, she has mostly confined herself to her apartment and only taken freelance work.The only valuable possession she owns is her apartment. Can she sell it right now?Even if she could sell it, she wouldn't be able to get the money directly toda

“I'm sorry, mom, for not calling you. I plan to stay overnight at my friend's place. We were having so much fun hanging out that we forgot the time, and I was also quite drunk, I didn't think it was safe for me to drive, so I decided to stay the night at my friend's place," said Elena, finally finding an excuse.There was a disapproving chuckle from the other side of the phone, but in the end Megan said, "Okay, if you really want to stay overnight. You should have called me earlier to tell me so I wouldn't worry.”"Sorry, mom," Elena whispered.Megan immediately turned off the phone line. Only then did Elena breathe a sigh of relief.Elena then decided to sleep on the sofa in the room, just in case Reid finally woke up.***The next morning, according to Doctor Brook's appointment, he came to Elena's apartment to check on Reid's condition.After doing some tests, Doctor Brook said that everything was fine."But why isn't he conscious yet, doc?" asked Elena, who still felt worried afte

Before entering Reid's room, Elena repeatedly breathed in and out, still preparing herself for what she would do next.Doctor Brook's idea is absolutely crazy!How come? Elena had to pretend to claim to be Reid's girlfriend. What if Reid doesn't believe it? Elena really didn't know how to convince Reid.Or, what if Reid believes? According to Elena, it would actually be more difficult for her.However, Elena had to admit, Doctor Brook's words were true. If Elena really intends to help Reid, Elena must act totally. If Elena wants to pretend to be Reid's girlfriend, Elena also has to take Reid out of the country because it's impossible for Reid to stay in this country. It's not just Elena's father who needs to be worried, but if Reid is wandering around like usual, lots of people will immediately recognize him. Reid is very well known in this country like a celebrity. Of course, this will make Reid's whereabouts known, and Elena's father, who previously stopped hunting Reid, will return
