Chapter 33 - 33: 33: Sudden Incoming Call
In the end…only I am left…at this crossroads, where my left hand ring finger is…
Just as Emily Walker’s heart was filled with infinite anxiety and panic, and she was about to burst into tears, a burst of cell phone ringtone sounded.
Hearing the familiar melody, Emily knew it was her phone ringing in her bag it was her favorite song from her university years!
Feeling an excited mix of urgency, she fumbled through her bag, eager to answer the phone as soon as possible.
She took out her phone, almost dropping it, and glanced at the caller ID to see an unfamiliar number.
No matter who it was, at least there was a glimmer of hope!
“Hello, who is this? 1—” Just as Emily hurriedly answered the phone, she was interrupted by the piercing sound of brakes, followed by her body being thrown off balance and swaying all over due to the shock of the sudden stop!
Looking up, she saw the driver stopping the car and then quickly climbing from the driver’s seat to the back seat, reaching out to snatch the phone from her hand!
“You—what do you want—don’t come over here!” Emily looked at the driver with some panic, but she was able to secure the phone, which she held onto tightly, knowing that this was her only chance for help!
Although she wasn’t sure who was on the other end of the unfamiliar number, she knew the phone was connected, and she had to stay sober and somehow signal the person on the other end.
Looking straight ahead in the car, under the night’s darkness, she saw a signboard atop a building: Starlight Hotel.
She glanced at the approaching driver, her heart frantic and at a loss, quickly picking up the phone and desperately saying, “No matter who you are, please save me, Starlight Hotel—uh—”
Although her speech was fast and urgent, she still couldn’t get the final message across to the other end of the phone, feeling as though a pair of slightly rough hands covered her mouth, seemingly trying to prevent her from revealing her current location.
As extreme uneasiness and fear took root in her heart, Emily desperately tried to pry open the hands covering her mouth, but in order to do so, she would have to muster up all her strength!
Ignoring the phone still in the call, she instinctively raised her hands, tightly gripping the driver’s hand, and as soon as she felt some slack, Emily opened her mouth and instinctively bit down!
“Ah!” cried the driver, reflexively letting zo of his hand, looking at the wound
that had been bitten, already showing a trace of blood.
It seemed this young girl wasn’t easy to deal with!
“You, what exactly are you trying to do? What do you want to do to me!?” Emily panicked and tried to move backward, but there was nowhere to retreat to!
“Hehe… of course, I’m interested in your kidneys. Why else would I have brought you here?” The driver spoke with a sly look on his face, then reached into his pocket as if to pull something out, while keeping a close eye on Emily, afraid she would escape!
Just as he blinked, Emily slowly extended the hand hidden behind her, opened the car door with lightning speed, and rolled out.
For a moment, she didn’t dare to pause, despite falling from the car and the pain involved.. Ignoring it, she sprinted towards the city district as quickly as possible!
