Chapter 378 What You Need Isn’t Doctor but Woman

Chloe paused for a moment and hurriedly reassured him, “He won’t. Even if he does, we were only

defending ourselves.”

During this time, the masked woman occasionally glanced inside the car but detected no signs of

suspicion as the man remained pinned against Chloe. After ten minutes had passed, the repairs were

done. When the masked woman tried to get in, she realized that the car door would not open.

Noah, who had freed himself, waved goodbye to her with a smile. The masked woman’s eyes widened,

and she punched the window.

It instantly cracked. Before it shattered, Chloe pushed the semi–conscious man off her with all her

strength and urged, “Quick, start the car!”

Noah immediately leaped into the driver’s seat, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away. Through

the rearview mirror, they saw the furious masked woman hijack a passing car and chase after them

recklessly.

Chloe noticed that they were approaching the mountains up ahead.

“Was your phone confiscated too?” she asked.

“Yes. Check if that man has a phone on him,” Noah replied while driving.

Chloe turned her head to search for one. “Yes, got it! I’ll call the police right now!”

She tried to remain calm and provided the police with the information she knew. When she mentioned

Noah’s presence, there was a brief pause from the other end of the line. “Noah? You’re talking about

Mr. Noah Gunter from Exotic Star?”

“Yes,” Chloe confirmed.

The police categorized the kidnapping case as extortion. They managed to trace their location and

discovered that Chloe and Noah were about to reach the outskirts of Cloude, indicating that they had

been unconscious for at least four hours. Given their current speed, it would take the local police at

least an hour to get there. During this hour, Chloe and Noah would enter the mountains where the cars

could traverse, leaving them in a dire situation.

In this critical moment, the police remembered that the Whitmans owned a private plane.

Just as the police expected, Noah and Chloe found their path obscured by a patch of lush forest after

roughly half an hour. They were forced to abandon the car and flee into the woods. Fortunately,

darkness had descended, so it would not be that easy for the masked woman to track them.

The masked woman’s face turned grim, and she commanded, “After them!”

The thorny bushes in the mountains scratched Chloe’s legs, eliciting a pang of pain in Noah’s eyes. He

quickened his pace, walking ahead and using his hands to push aside the branches on

both sides.

Despite their attempts to remain composed, they were just ordinary individuals without any wilderness

survival skills. Compared to the cunning masked woman, they quickly lost

distance, with the pursuer closing in on them.

At that moment, a thunderous rumble echoed from afar, growing louder as a helicopter hovered in the

sky and slowly descended.

The masked woman’s expression changed. “Damn it!”

“What do we do now?”

“What do we do now? We need to run!” the masked woman replied.

She glanced at Chloe and warned her, “Don’t let me catch you again.”

Chloe remained silent, keeping her guard up.

As the helicopter landed, the masked woman and her accomplices had already made their escape,

vanishing into thin air.

Chloe initially thought that the person stepping out of the helicopter would be the police, but when she

caught sight of the tall figure, she could not control herself any longer. Tears welled up in her eyes, and

she had the urge to throw herself into his arms and pour out all the grievances of the day.

She was about to approach him when Noah held her back. “Coco, I sprained my foot. Can you help

me?”

In the dim night, she finally noticed that Noah’s legs and hands were scratched and stained with blood.

His pants and sleeves were torn as well.

“Does it hurt? Are you okay?” Chloe nervously reached out to support him.

Noah shook his head, a hint of mischief flickering in his innocent eyes. He looked in Joseph’s direction

and said, “It doesn’t hurt. I feel much better now, but I need your help to walk.”

“I didn’t know that a woman’s touch could heal wounds. It seems that what you need isn’t a

doctor, but a woman, Mr. Noah,” Joseph remarked.

Noah looked puzzled and asked, “Mr. Joseph, what are you talking about?”
