Only you in my love -
Chapter 510 Noah Blocked The Knife For Him
The dagger on her neck was Tasha's death warrant. Although she worked for Jett, she was unprepared to stake her life on her loyalty to her boss.
"Relax, Mr. Ye. Let's talk this over," Tasha said, forcing a smile despite her fear.
John replied, "You're in no position to bargain with me."
Hearing the man speak, Tasha widened her eyes. "Your voice sounds so familiar. Sean? Is that you?"
John did not say anything.
Tasha's eyes were full of surprise. She had always suspected that Sean might not be that simple, but she did not expect that he was one of Vicente's men. They had worked at the same cinema without knowing that they belonged to two opposing camps. 'Is it fate?' Tasha wondered.
Demi didn't know whether it was destiny or not. She just knew Tasha screwed everything.
None of this would have happened had she been careful to begin with. She had just mindlessly showed herself to the people Vicente trusted.
Demi thought that Tasha was so stupid. And now she had to put on another act.
She clenched her teeth and pretended to be grateful. "Thank goodness you arrived just in time, Sean! Otherwise, we would have been dead."
Demi looked at Tasha; what she just said was to remind her.
One of Demi's subordinates quickly reacted, pulled out a dagger, and put it on her neck. He threatened, "You move, she dies."
Demi's face turned deathly pale. "What the hell are you doing, Gene? You work for Tasha?"
"Congratulations, Demi. You got it right." Tasha chuckled and touched the dagger on her neck. "Let's make a deal, shall we, Sean? You release me, and Gene releases Demi."
"Sean, help me! Please!" Demi looked at John with tearful eyes. "I don't want to die. Please."
However, John kept his face neutral. He did not care at all. Demi had to turn to Noah for help. "Mr. Ye, please. I...I don't want to die."
Noah had always been soft-hearted to people he thought were innocent. "Sean, let her go."
"Yes. Yes, please let her go." Demi nodded in agreement.
Thinking that this standoff was a monumental waste of time, John took a deep breath and thought about his children. He had to get a move on. After a few moments, he finally nodded and said, "On three, we release at the same time." Tasha replied, "Okay. Let her go, Gene."
"Yes." Gene Li nodded.
"One, two, three," John counted in a low voice.
As soon as he finished counting, he and Gene released their hostages. Tasha walked toward Gene while Demi staggered toward another one of her subordinates who caught her.
She took the opportunity to whisper in his ear, "Glen, when you get a clear shot, kill Sean."
Hearing this, Glen Zhang nodded.
Tasha returned to her men and bellowed, "Let's go!"
They all turned around and ran away. They had to find Cali and the children before the other party did.
Seeing this, John thought, 'You want to run away?
It's not that easy!'
John immediately chased after them. Someone covered Tasha and rushed forward to stop him.
Noah also joined the chase. Demi stood aside and said to her men, "What are you all looking at? Go and help!"
Demi's men then sprinted after John and Noah, but they were knocked down so easily by Tasha's thugs. Noah then sensed that something bad was about to happen.
In all the chaos, he glanced at John's direction and happened to see Glen approaching him with a dagger in hand.
Noah kicked the man in front of him, turned around, and dashed toward John. "Watch out!"
He flung himself in front of John, and before John could blink, the dagger was already in Noah's abdomen.
"Ah! Mr. Ye!" Demi screamed. "Glen, you are a traitor too!"
At that moment, John only felt a strong back brush against him like a leaf falling from a tree.
"What the hell are you doing, Noah? Are you insane?" With red eyes, John punched back the man in front of him and immediately turned around to catch Noah. Noah knew that what he did was crazy.
But John could not get hurt. He could not come home to Nina with so much as a scratch. Noah could not stomach the idea of Nina seeing John in pain. He thought that they had already suffered a lot.
At the moment, Demi winked at Glen, signaling to him to run away with the others immediately. Seeing this, Demi's men dragged Glen away and rushed to the woods. Keeping an anxious face, Demi knelt beside Noah and checked his wound. Although he covered it with his hand, the blood kept flowing out, dying his white clothes bright red.
She had ordered Glen to kill John, not Noah, but she had not counted on Noah jumping in front of a blade for John. And now everything just got messier than ever.
"We need to send him to the hospital immediately, Sean. He's losing a lot of blood," Demi said nervously.
"Just leave me..." Beads of sweat now covered Noah's forehead, and his lips had drained so much color that they looked frightening. His breath had started coming in short bursts, making it difficult for him to speak. "Go find Van and Don. Don't worry about me." Demi quickly said, "Your life is also important, Noah."
"But the children..." Noah raised his hand and grabbed John's arm.
After struggling in his heart for a moment, John helped Noah up and slung his arm on his shoulders. He took him away the same way they arrived.
Noah called out "children" again and then lost consciousness.
Looking at their receding figures, Demi smiled and ordered the rest of her men who had stayed behind, "Go find Tasha, and be careful."
"Yes, ma'am." They turned on their heels and followed Tasha.
Then, Demi ran to John. "I've sent the rest of my men to chase Tasha down. They will contact me as soon as they get any news. I'm sure the twins will be fine and so will Noah."
Without saying a word, John boarded a boat out of the island with Noah, and Demi followed suit. On their way back, he took out his phone and asked Vicente to send an ambulance to the wharf. After sending the message, he saw that Leon had informed him of the safety of his children.
John finally felt relieved. He looked down at Noah's pale face with worried eyes.
He thought, 'What the hell were you doing? We're not even close enough to die for each other. That's so stupid.
I'm your rival, not your brother.'
Soon, they arrived at the wharf. "Has the ambulance arrived?" John asked. He was burning with anxiety. Help could no longer be delayed. Noah was on the brink of death.
Demi gazed around the dock and answered, "Not yet. Oh, I hear something. I think it's already nearby."
Vicente had always been fast. The nearest hospital had sent an ambulance to the wharf. As soon as they got Noah off the boat, the medical staff hauled him into the ambulance and rushed him to the emergency room.
Worried about Noah, John hailed a cab and followed him to the hospital.
Demi was left there standing by the road. The sea breeze blew her already messy hair as a triumphant smile spread across her face. She had succeeded.
When Cali entered the bathroom, Demi had pulled a small amount of Van's hair and stuffed it in her bra.
She took a look at it and found that it was still intact and stuck to her skin.
"Yes, I've done my job. I just hope Tasha kills Cali as planned. Then I won't have any risk of exposure." Demi turned her head at the island. "Don't you fail me, Tasha."000000
