âYouâ¦â Theodore was stunned.
He wasnât sure what to say for a moment.
Ariana gave him a bright smile.
She waved the rope in her hands and said happily, âI found it in the trunk.
I can get you out now.
â
She wrapped one end of the rope around Theodore.
âIâll wrap the other end of the rope around the street lamp and pull you out.
It may hurt a little.
Hold on.
â
âWhy did you come back? Go!â Theodoreâs eyes turned red and he stared fiercely at the woman in front of him.
Ariana ignored him and fastened the rope.
âI said I didnât want you to rescue me.
The car is going to explode.
Get out, now.
You donât need to sacrifice your life for me.
I wonât appreciate that.
â
Normally he was a man of few words, but now he was anxious and rambling.
âShut up!â Ariana interrupted him.
âYouâre talking too much.
â
Theodore choked in astonishment.
This was the first time someone had dared to tell him to shut up in such an impatient way.
He wanted to say something, to somehow restore his dignity, but Ariana had already begun to pull on the rope.
She tried her best, and even after she pulled so hard that her hands started to bleed, he didnât budge.
She was exhausted, and collapsed back, bursting into tears.

âWhy donât you just leave?â Theodore asked.
Her tears made his heart ache.
âIf you leave, youâll live.
You donât have to care about me.
â
Squatting beside the car, Ariana started sobbing.
âIâm sorry.
Itâs all my fault.
Lynch is here because of me.
If I leave you like this, then Iâll have the image of you turning into a ghost for the rest of my lifeâ¦â
Theodore chuckled.
He was suddenly hit with the feeling that Ariana was really cute.
Her words dissipated his sadness, and he said, âDonât cry.
In fact, Iâve been hiding something from you.
â
âWhat?â Ariana said, looking at Theodore with red, swollen eyes.
She looked so pitiful.
She wiped away the tears with the back of her hands.
âIn that case, I will tell you this.
I have something Iâve been hiding from you, too.
â
Theodore raised his eyebrows slightly.
âThen you tell me first.
â
She slowly put her hand on her belly.
Before Ariana could finish her words, she saw a car speeding in their direction.
Seeing the car, Ariana stood up suddenly and stumbled over toward it, blocking it without hesitation.
âAriana!â
Theodore roared in shock.
His heart skipped a beat when he saw her petite figure nearly get hit by a car.
The car stopped just in time, and four people got out.
It was Aziel and Sarah, and two strange men, who must be friends of Aziel.
Ariana didnât have time to ask why they would come here, and hurriedly asked them to save Theodore and Horace.
âThe car is going to explode.
Please help me get them out
