Chapter 908 The Rescue
Outside the factory, the subordinates had already been discreetly handled by the people led by Sven. They had also discovered that Nathaniel and Cecilia, along with a few others, were currently in the most optimal position for rescue.
Sven and Mason exchanged a ce, then forcefully barged in.
The turn of events was so sudden that Ethan could hardly believe it. His subordinates were thrown into a panic.
“Mr. Ethan!”
At this moment, Ethan understood. Cecilia and the others were merely buying time and waiting for help to arrive. How could he be so naive? But how on earth did Mason and the others manage to find him?
At this point, he couldn’t escape anymore, but he was determined to make Nathaniel and his associates pay with their lives.
“Whoever can get rid of these two women and Nathaniel, I’ll reward you with ten million! If you die, I will take care of your families!”
Ten million?
This was a sum of money that many ordinary people couldn’t earn in their entire lifetime.
A few subordinates exchanged glances, then headed toward Cecilia and her group.
Cecilia immediately grabbed Nathaniel’s hand. “Let’s go.”
The terrifying sound of a blade slicing through the air echoed in her ears, causing her scalp to tingle with fear.
Jessica was still crying out, “Nathaniel, Nathaniel, save me!”
The three individuals found themselves in a predicament, Jessica was injured, Cecilia was pregnant, and Nathaniel’s right hand was wounded. They had nowhere to escape.
Cecilia found herself perilously close to another person. As she saw the blade about to descend upon her, instinctively, she shielded her belly.
She thought she was going to die, yet Nathaniel stood before her once again. This time, her vision was painted red with blood.
“Nathaniel!”
Her stomach was in relentless pain, yet she reached up to hold him tightly.
“Nathaniel!”
Sven had already arrived and dealt with that attacker.
In less than ten minutes, everyone else was dealt with. Ethan tried to escape, but before he could get far, he was knocked unconscious.
Cecilia was past the point of caring about anyone else. She forced herself to stay upright, clinging onto Nathaniel.
She had no idea where Nathaniel was injured, but her palms were now sticky with his blood.
“Nathaniel… How are you doing?”
“I’m okay.”
Nathaniel’s lips had lost all color, yet he was still comforting her, “I’m fine.”
Cecilia felt as if her heart had been pricked by a needle.
“Why?”
“What… Why?” Nathaniel asked, his voice heavy and listless.
“Why did you stand in my way? Why did you save me?”
Unable to contain herself any longer, tears streamed down Cecilia’s face.
Nathaniel couldn’t help but chuckle. “Silly girl.”
What else could it be? I’ve fallen for you.
However, he no longer had the strength to respond. He leaned heavily against Cecilia, looking as though he was about to collapse onto the ground.
Kneeling on one knee, Cecilia could barely support him. “Nathaniel…”
Mason hurried over.
“Mrs. Rainsworth, let me help,” he offered.
Mason instructed two bodyguards to step forward and escort Nathaniel into the car.
Then, Mason went to assist Cecilia. “Mrs. Rainsworth, let’s go. Let’s get in the car.”
It took Cecilia a while to regain her composure. He gently guided her, helping her into the car. Upon seeing the situation, Jessica immediately called out to Mason, “Mason… Mr. Sanders, what about me?”
Mason gave a subtle signal to the two bodyguards, who then proceeded to carry Jessica.
Sven swept up all the remaining people from behind, then led them away one by one, bound and secured.
On the way to the hospital, the vehicle was equipped with a doctor who was tending to Nathaniel and staunching his bleeding.
Only then did Cecilia discover that he had injured his back. When she saw the blood vessels on the side of his head, she felt a pang of heartache that she had never felt before.
Tightly gripping Nathaniel’s hand, she called out, “Nathaniel…”
This was the first time she had willingly called out to him like that ever since her despairing departure six years ago.
