Chapter 1047 Unsolicited Return
The Substitute Bride Doted by My Billionaire Husband
When she saw Brooks, Northâs expression changed. She quickly pulled Malloryâs small hand and led her into the wooden house. âMallory, letâs hide.â
Olive put away the silver needle and walked over. âWhat happened?â
âBrooks is here.â
Olive frowned. âI already sent Mr. Augustine a message before we came over. I didnât expect Brooks to arrive before Elvis.â
Elvis and Raven were on their way there. They should be there soon, but Brooks was one step ahead.
Northâs expression was also a little solemn. âRight now, Axel is still in a coma, and Brooks is here outside. The situation is very unfavorable for us.â
Mallory did not utter a word. She looked out through the small glass window. Although the villagers and women were trying their best to stop Brooks and not reveal information about Axel and her to him, it was obvious that Brooks had a reliable informer. It was very difficult to fool him. He did not believe the words of the villagers.
âJust this morning, we got the news that you had rescued someone two months ago. Your village.
doctor has gone to the town to buy medicine, right?â
The villagers were kind and simple people. Although they wanted to protect Axel and Mallory, they were not good at lying.
Now that they were exposed by Brooks, the villagers were stunned and their eyes began to dodge with a guilty conscience.
This further confirmed Brooks speculation. He smiled and said, âWhere is Axel now? Hurry up and hand him over to me!â
âSir, we really donât know what youâre talking about. Get out of here quickly.â
â
Mallory said, âThis place canât be held anymore. If this stalemate continues, these innocent villagers will be implicated. Brooks is always ruthless. He would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.
Iâm afraid he will wipe this village away for Axel alone.â
Northâs face turned pale. She absolutely could not risk so many innocent lives because of her brother.
Olive looked at Mallory. âMallory, what do you think we should do now? Our rescue team should arrive soon, so we must buy time for them to get to us, but this is difficult. We can implicate these innocent villagers. What do you think we should do?â
Mallory looked at Brooks outside. Brooks grabbed a villager by the collar and held him hostage. âWhat are you doing!â
âIs there still a kingâs law in broad daylight? You are murdering and breaking the law!â
âQuickly let go of my husband and let go of the childâs father!â
The other villagers were already trembling with fright. The women and children suddenly started to cry.
Brooks winked at his subordinates. âSurround this village immediately. All the old and weak women and children will not be spared!â
âYes, sir!â
Brooks shouted arrogantly, âAxel! Axel, where are you?â
âAxel, werenât you very arrogant in the past, why are you now a coward?!â
âAxel, Iâll count to three. Youâd better come out on your own. Otherwise, Iâll let these villagers bury you one by one.â
âThree,â
âTwo,â
Brooks counted sternly.
Mallory turned her head and looked at North. âYou spoke to Axel before the accident, right?â North nodded, âYes.â
âThen, did you remind Axel that the situation had changed and that there would be danger?â Northâs face turned pale. âNo, I was anxious to bring him back, but I didnât expect to say this.â Olive asked, âMallory, why are you asking this?â
Malloryâs bright black eyes fell on Axel, who was still unconscious, âIf I had reminded him on the phone, then he must have made arrangements on the way back.
However, if he has other plans and is waiting for a certain opportunity to turn around, he might as well use this opportunity to take down old Mr. Lewis, take over the power of entire Lewis family, and fulfill all his desires and ambitions.â
âHowever, I didnât remind him of this, and I donât know if he has any arrangements.â North looked at Axel, who was unconscious.
At this moment, North regretted her decisions. She should have told her brother about the situation on the phone and told him to make plans earlier.
Axel was in a coma now, no one knew what he was thinking before the accident.
âMallory, we donât have time anymore,â
Olive reminded.
âYeah, thereâs no time left, so If it were you now, what would you do?â
At this time, Brooks was about to count âoneâ outside. Mallory immediately turned around. She opened the back window and jumped down.
Seeing Malloryâs pretty figure disappear from her line of sight, North was stunned. She wanted to run over to check the situation.
But in the next second, Olive reached out and grabbed her slender arm.
North turned around and saw that Olive had placed her finger on her lips and made a âshushâ gesture.
North did not dare to speak anymore. At that moment, one of Brooksâs subordinates shouted from outside, âBrooks, we caught someone. This girl tried to escape, but we caught her. She is Axelâs new lover, Mallory!â
Mallory was captured by Brooks.
âOlive, what is Mallory doing? Is she crazy?â North was shocked.
Everyone knew Brooksâs cruel personality, and the last time Brooks saw Mallory at the hospital, he was very interested in Mallory.
The key point was that Brooks was still searching for the Landon familyâs daughter.
Of course, Olive knew all of this. âNorth, Mallory is buying time for our rescue and for Grayson to wake up.â
At this point, Olive took out the silver needle again. She slowly pierced the silver needle into Axelâs neck and said softly, âBrother Grayson, if you were here, what would you do?â
Olive asked him what he would do if he knew that Brooks had Mallory.
Brooksâs subordinates escorted Mallory over, and Brooks quickly let go of the villager whom he was holding him hostage.
âMallory, itâs actually you again.â
Brooks was particularly impressed by Mallory. Now that he looked at Malloryâs oval face, he immediately geared up for it..
