The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 223

Chapter 223:

The impact of the door against the front of the car was terrifying.

The loud bang caught the attention of the men, who quickly freed Monica and ran away.

The vehicle became wedged in the rubble and Caden jumped out, brandishing a cold pistol and immediately opening fire on the group.

Surprised by the sudden attack, the men They dispersed in panic.

However, no one was able to escape.

After a few moments, everyone was on the ground.

Joshua realized that The men were riddled with needles and he realized that they had been hit by tranquilizer darts, not bullets.

He acted quickly, grabbing a knife and pressing it against Alicia's neck.

The icy wind screamed, but Caden's stern gaze was even more intimidating than the dark barrel of his gun. Alicia, now a human shield, stood in front of Joshua. The sharp knife rested against his neck, where the slightest movement could prove fatal.

But when he looked at Caden, who had appeared out of nowhere, his previously blank and emotionless expression transformed into a slight smile. The fear and despair disappeared instantly.

They were replaced by a deep sense of relief.

Caden continued forward, each step deliberate, his intense eyes fixed on Joshua. If this knife hurts him in any way, I will finish you. Joshua was not afraid.

Not knowing how Caden had found them and without having time to think, he shouted, his eyes red with rage: Caden, take one more step and I'll cut her throat! He squeezed the knife lightly as he spoke.

A thin line of blood appeared on Alicia's pale neck. Caden's eyes darkened and he stopped moving. Alicia noticed that Joshua's hands were shaking.

They needed to understand each other's intentions. Caden flexed his thumb and pulled the trigger. Just before the shot rang out, Alicia threw her head back and hit Joshua hard in the skull.

At the same time, a tranquilizer dart hit Joshua's hand as he grabbed the knife.

The knife fell to the ground. Alicia quickly pushed him away and ran to Caden.

Caden stepped forward, opened his arms, and wrapped her in a hug.

At that moment, her heart calmed, cold and firm as always. He fired a few more tranquilizer darts at Joshua, realizing that they were almost exhausted.

Still, the darts had done enough to partially paralyze Joshua, leaving him unable to move.

Alicia leaned weakly on Caden, clinging to his clothes as if she were clinging to life itself.

Monica... she murmured, her voice weak and trembling with fear. Save Monica.

Caden picked her up with one arm, wrapped her in his cloak, and headed to a nearby room.

Monica's clothes were torn, but she was unharmed.

He grabbed a piece of cloth to cover her and carried her away.

By then, Cliff had arrived with reinforcements and was tasked with deciding Joshua's fate.

Caden put Monica in the car and then turned back to see how Alicia was doing.

Alicia was still shaking.

Totally exhausted and scared, her body was still reacting to the residual fear.

Caden, who had never Seeing herself so vulnerable, he comforted her with unusual tenderness, although comforting others was something new to him.

Alicia leaned on his arm.

She moaned softly, and he could make out his name.

Although barely audible, it resonated deeply with Caden.

She needed him desperately.

She would only show her true longing when she was completely out of her mind.

Caden felt the urge He was about to kiss her, but just then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Joshua manage to get into the car that Caden had crashed into the door.

Through the car window, Caden saw the wicked smile. of Joshua.

Joshua seemed determined to take her with him.

With Monica in the car, Caden had to distract Joshua.

He quickly took Alicia to a open space. A car could never be as agile as a person's legs. But Joshua, driven by madness, charged directly at them. Caden, unfamiliar with the terrain, ran toward an open area, but accidentally stepped into a hole hidden under the snow. His movements were immediately hindered.

Joshua attempted to charge again, but the tranquilizers had disoriented him, causing him to drive erratically and aimlessly. His car crashed into a pile of falling debris, heading straight for Caden.

Caden quickly moved out of the way, but the snow collapsed beneath him. Clinging tightly to Alice, they fell down the slope together.

Joshua watched them fall down the slope, believing that if the fall did not kill them, the frozen snow would bury them. He laughed out loud, his eyes red and wild, but his joy was short-lived when Cliff arrived at the scene.

Cliff quickly subdued Joshua and handed him over to the authorities. Then Cliff started looking for Caden. Despite an exhaustive search, he found no trace of them.

He scanned the ground for signs of a struggle and reached the edge of the mountaintop. The height was overwhelming and there was nothing but darkness below. Realizing that something serious had happened, Cliff immediately ordered an extensive search and rescue operation.
