Chapter 585

At this time, Rutherford changed his mind. He came up with a better way to escape.

He suddenly grabbed Silas, turned to Earle, and threatened, “I will only give you the children back if

you ask your men to back away immediately.”

When Earle saw Silas’ pale face, he felt distressed.

“Okay, I can do that.”

Earle turned to his bodyguards and nodded, hinting at them to follow Rutherford’s demand. The

bodyguards all stepped back at once.

The next second, Rutherford opened the car door and threw Silas out.

Earle was the nearest to the car. So when he saw Silas, he immediately threw his walking stick away,

rushed forward, and caught Silas.

But at this moment, Rutherford also ruthlessly threw Adrian and Aileen out of the car.

“Ahhh!” the kids screamed in unison.

But Earle was not a coward. He first caught Aileen, the most frightened one, and immediately held her

in his arms. Then he didn’t forget to protect the two boys too.

Earle was old, but he was still strong. And perhaps because of the adrenaline rush, he saved the three

children at one time.

Looking at the three children all safe and sound in his arms, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Mr. Moran, it’s you!” Aileen shouted excitedly upon seeing Earle’s face clearly.

Earle smiled kindly at the three children and asked, “Are you all right?”

The three children shook their heads altogether.

At this moment, Rutherford and his men took advantage of the situation when Earle was not paying

attention. They started the car, crashed into a luxury car ahead, and rushed forward.

As the two cars collided, there was an ear-splitting sound. It was so loud that it even resounded

through the sky. And the fire instantly ignited.

“Ahhh!” Aileen screamed in horror.

“Aileen!” Adrian and Silas called out in unison.

The loud crash startled Aileen, so Adrian and Silas immediately stretched out their hands and covered

her ears.

Although Aileen was terrified, she instinctively reached out and covered Earle’s ears.

For a moment, the scene looked unusually harmonious.

Since Earle was holding the three children in his arms, he didn’t move at all. Their safety mattered

more to him than the small explosion.

But Aileen’s soft hands suddenly covered his ears, and she said sweetly, “Mr. Moran, don’t be afraid.

Don’t be afraid…”

Earle looked down at her and saw that her cute little face was full of worries. He thought that his heart

was already as hard as steel. But at this moment, he felt that it had melted.

Rutherford escaped with his companions in their car, but no one was in the mood to care about them at

this time.

Aleck and the bodyguards worriedly ran towards Earle one after another.

They all knew that he had a weak heart. If anything happened to him, none of them could be held

responsible for it.

“Mr. Moran, are you alright?” Aleck was the first to rush over and asked Earle.

“Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Check on the three children. They are more important.”

After saying this, Earle gently put down Aileen. Then he reached out and touched the heads of Silas

and Adrian. He picked up his walking stick on the ground, looking energetic.

“Mr. Moran, come with me and take your medicine first,” Aleck urged, still a little scared.

At first, Earle hesitated. But finally, he compromised and walked towards the car with Aleck. But after

taking a few steps, he looked back and smiled at the children.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.”

The three children felt relieved when they saw his smile.

When Adrian recalled how Earle had rescued them valiantly just now, he couldn’t help praising, “Silas,

your great-grandfather is awesome! When he knocked on the bad guy’s car window just now, he

looked like a superhero. He was so handsome!”

“Yes, that’s right! Your great-grandpa is so cool.”

This time, Aileen agreed with Adrian, which was rare to happen.

Silas was still agitated. But when he heard their praises, he was in a good mood. He felt proud of

having such a brave great-grandfather.

But then, something suddenly happened. After taking a few steps forward, Earle clutched his chest. His

heart was suddenly cramped. He was in so much pain that he trembled all over.

Aleck immediately supported Earle’s arm and said worriedly, “Mr. Moran!”

But Earle broke away from Aleck’s grip and shook his head. The children were looking at him. He

couldn’t let them worry about him.

For the children not to notice that he was not feeling well, he endured the pain and waved his walking

stick to the three children behind him.

But Silas was very keen. He immediately noticed that something was wrong with Aleck’s expression.

Something must be wrong with Earle.

He could tell that Earle was weak and only pretending to be alright. The expression on his face greatly

changed as he shouted, “Great-grandpa, stop!”

Earle’s pain became more and more unbearable. His eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground in a

coma.
