It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 170

“Catherine…” Lucia looked at Catherine, who was at the door, confused.

Why was Catherine here at that time? Shouldn’t she be in the villa? What had happened? There was a trace of confusion in Lucia and Lowell’s eyes. Before they could recover from the shock of Catherine’s sudden appearance, they heard a sound.

Kathryn picked up a discarded stool at the door and smashed it toward the camera without hesitation. With a sound of something heavy falling to the ground, the camera fell and the originally flickering red dot stopped working, meaning Malcolm could no longer see anything that had happened here.

After that, Kathryn quickly ran to Lowell and Lucia’s station. She just took a look at the current situation and was smart enough not to ask questions. Then she exchanged a look with Lowell and turned to look at Lucia. Lucia looked at Catherine. In Catherine’s eyes she saw a kind of firmness and…Lucia couldn’t describe the feeling. But the uneasiness in his heart increased.

She had a feeling that no matter what Catherine said, she couldn’t agree. It seemed that if she agreed with Catherine, the consequences would be unbearable for her. Lucia looked at Catherine calmly, waiting for her to take the initiative to speak.

“Lucia, leave here right away. Let me make this short. Tandy and others are also outside. You go out to find them, and I stay to help Lowell. That’s the only way that we can all come out successfully.” Kathryn made up some random reason, trying to get Lucia to leave.

She didn’t know what happened here. But she saw Lucia’s red eyes and the tears in her eyes. She saw that Lowell was sitting in the chair and could not move. She saw that a bomb that had been removed was placed aside. Kathryn vaguely knew what had happened. No matter how innocent she was, she knew that Lowell was definitely not a person who would not resist when suppressed. Now that he maintained such a posture, the reason must have something to do with Lucia.

Lucia was so important to Lowell that he would give up everything to protect Lucia. This also meant that the situation at the scene was beyond Lowell’s control. He had to choose the worst path.

“Did Tandy ask you to come here?” Lowell asked Catherine. He had already calmed down.

“No, I came here myself. They are not far from the warehouse and could help us at any time.

It was the first time she could give Lowell such a calm response. It was also the first time she felt that she was no longer a naive girl. At least she bravely took the first step. No matter the outcome, she had tried to do what she wanted to do. She would have no regrets.

Lowell glanced at Lucia. He knew that such a simple answer from Catherine could never persuade Lucia to leave. Lucia was not someone who would leave them alone. If she was, Lucia would have a good chance of leaving the warehouse soon. Lowell ordered in a low voice, “Kathryn, take Lucia.” It’s an order.” His tone was irresistible.

“No.” For the first time, Kathryn resisted Lowell’s order.

Lowell calculated the time in his mind. It had been at least three minutes since the timer on the bomb had been activated for the first time. They really didn’t have much time to waste here. Now, even Catherine had arrived unexpectedly, and the situation was becoming more and more complicated. If Catherine didn’t leave, Lucia wouldn’t leave either. The chaos in front of Lowell made him a little confused.

Kathryn found the bomb under the chair. She looked seriously at Lowell, who was still sitting in the chair. All of a sudden, she understood the impasse before her eyes. She closed her eyes and quickly opened them. His eyes were full of firmness and conviction. She stood in front of Lowell, stared at him for a long time, and said lightly: “Commander, you are the spiritual leader of the mercenaries. You can make the fairest judgment at the most dangerous moment. And now you should leave with Lucia. I’ll take your place. I believe you will get me away safely in the end.” There was determination in Catherine’s words.

She said these words not only to Lowell, but also to Lucia. And she said them to herself. If she guessed correctly, the bomb under the chair had been activated once. No matter how many times it was reactivated, it would automatically explode in ten to twenty minutes. They were running out of time. As time passed, someone had to willingly sacrifice herself so that others would leave.

As this was the inevitable end, Kathryn chose herself. Since childhood, she was looked after by her aunt. After her aunt’s death, Lowell had her adopted. With spiritual sustenance and ignorant love, she had the best time of her childhood. Now she had Lucia with her. According to her original belief, she loved Lowell, but that didn’t mean she had to own him .As long as Lowell was happy, it would be the greatest happiness for her. And in the current situation, she was more willing to trade everything she had for the safety of the two most important people in her life.

“No way,” Lowell refused directly.

“Catherine…you’re leaving now.” Lucia’s words were powerless now.

The firmness on Catherine’s face was unwavering. After receiving Lowell’s response, Kathryn looked at Lucia. Suddenly, she took Lucia’s hand and dragged her forward several steps before Lucia could react. Lucia came to her senses and tried to shake off Catherine’s hold, but found she was unable to do so. The force that Kathryn unleashed in an instant was far more powerful than that of Lucia, who had already been tortured for a long time.

“Lucia, you are more mature than me. But why are you so childish now?” Kathryn looked at Lucia and said harshly.

Lucia was stunned by his words. Lowell looked at Catherine. Seeing the determined look in her eyes, he swallowed what he wanted to say. He quietly watched the confrontation between Catherine and Lucia. Somehow he looked at Catherine differently. Maybe she could do what he couldn’t do.

“My presence means that Tandy and the others are also outside. This is the communication device he gave me. They can contact each other through this. You can take this out and find Tandy soon. And the Cameras nearby are already completely useless. Just like I came secretly, no one will know you’re leaving,” Kathryn said quickly. After looking at Lucia for a moment, she continued, “And I’ll stay here. Although I’m only eighteen, I’ve known Lowell longer than you. I know more about mercenaries than you. Think with your intelligence. Do you think I or you will be more useful to him here? In the current situation, as long as one of us could leave, it would be less dangerous. And the person who leaves should inform Tandy at the outside the warehouse to prepare for assistance. And you have experienced the whole process. Can’t you explain everything to him more clearly than to me? That way their preparations will be more precise, right? not ? “

Catherine’s every word was reasonable, which made Lucia unable to refute. She tried to calm down and thought carefully about the meaning of Catherine’s words.

“But, this bomb…” There was a trace of hesitation in Lucia’s tone.

“Lowell and I will certainly be more useful than you.” After all, you don’t know anything about it. If Lowell has to deal with you, he’ll only waste more time. And we’ve already wasted a lot of time. Lucia, please hurry up. All our hopes rest on you,” Catherine said harshly. She knew Lucia had hesitated and would completely believe her.

“Okay. Give me the thing. I’m going out. Lowell, Kathryn, you can’t let something bad happen to me, or I’ll never forgive you. Ever,” Lucia said calmly, doing her best to give Catherine the answer.

As soon as Lucia finished her words, Catherine suddenly felt that she had exhausted all her strength. She did her best to steady herself and calmly handed the communication device to Lucia. Then she hugged Lucia. However, in a place out of Lucia’s sight, she shed crystal tears, because no one could guarantee that they would still have a chance to see each other again.

“Tandy, Lucia is coming out. Prepare to receive her,” Catherine said simply.

“I got it. Don’t turn off the device. We can find her.” Tandy responded quickly.

“Lucie, wait…” Lowell said suddenly.

Lucia glanced at the two before turning and leaving. Before she came out of the door, she was stopped by Lowell. Even Kathryn looked at Lowell in confusion, not knowing what he was going to do.

“Kathryn, take this. Remove the anklet from Lucia’s feet with this dagger. It’s a tracker. If she wears this, it will be in vain even if she goes out. Malcolm can find her at any time,” explained quickly Lowell.

As soon as he finished speaking, a delicate dagger was thrown near Catherine’s feet. Kathryn quickly picked up the dagger and walked towards Lucia. Lucia wanted to say something, but Catherine didn’t give her a chance. With one quick movement, the ankle on Lucia’s feet was cut off. Looking at the easily broken anklet, Lucia was pushed out of the door before she could think.

“This dagger was made of special materials. Your anklet is no problem at all,” Kathryn quickly explained as she pushed Lucia away.

Without hesitation, Lucia took the communication device and quickly walked out of the warehouse. She endured the pain in her lower abdomen and came out with all her strength. It seemed like more b***d was flowing from his lower body. If it hadn’t been for the faith that Kathryn and Lowell were still in the warehouse, Lucia didn’t know if she would be able to get out of the warehouse safely.

Vaguely, Lucia saw Tandy’s figure, but she no longer had any strength. The pain in his lower abdomen reached the extreme. With the last of her strength, she headed towards Tandy.

Sometimes belief was the only thing that could help a person continue steadfastly through the most difficult times. Whether it was towards one’s lover, family, or friend, the irreplaceable thought could bring out the greatest energy from a weak person in an instant, moving forward firmly step by step.
