Entwined Destinies: Captured Hearts

Chapter 27: Babe, Please Be Strong

Dolores calmed herself down, “Mister, please return by the same route. I forget to bring a thing and I have to come back to the company to take it.”The driver pretended not to hear it. Dolores raised her voice, “Stop please!”The driver drove faster and said in a cold voice, which was quite different from his gentle voice before, “We haven’t arrived at the destination.”Dolores became breathless at the moment. Her remaining reasons reminded her that she couldn’t be panicked at this moment. She slowly moved her hand to her leg, trying to take out her phone to ask for help. The driver perceived her intention and suddenly jammed on the brakes. Being caught out of the guard, Dolores’ phone slid down her hand.”Who… Who are you? What do you want to do?” Dolores tried hard to suppress her terror and panic. The driver almost floored the accelerator and shot her a glance from the rearview mirror, “Lady, you have offended someone, right? I was just hired by someone.”Dolores’ heart thumped and her hands trembled slightly. Who wanted to set her up? Was it Helen White?”I can also give you money!” Dolores attempted to negotiate with the driver. The driver glanced at her. Judging from her cheap clothes, she didn’t seem to be a rich person. The driver was not convinced. Seeing that they are more out-of-the-way, Dolores made a bold decision. She would have a glean hope of survival if she jumped out of the car, but if she just sat in the car obediently, she couldn’t imagine the consequences. She twiddled her hands again and again and finally made up her mind to unlock the safety lock and then pulled open the car door. The driver shot her a glance, “If you jump out of the car, you may die, or at least your skin would be peeled. You can’t run away!”Even though she couldn’t escape, she could not just sit in the car and let the driver take her away! If that was the case, she would meet her end. She was also afraid of that, but she had no other choice. She reached out to stroke her belly, “Babe, please be strong.”The wind was blowing and messed up her hairs. But she was quite determined at this moment. She plucked up her courage and jumped out of the car. As the car was speeding, Dolores kneeled with her face facing the ground after jumping out of the car. She instantly felt the burning pain from her knees and it felt like all her blood was rushing towards the wounds. Nevertheless, she didn’t care much about it and ran desperately after picking herself up from the ground. The driver hadn’t expected that she would jump out of the car. He stopped the car, got off it, and chased after her. Dolores was hobbling at a low speed as she had to endure the sharp pain for every step. She gritted her teeth to endure the pain, for she was clear that if she stopped, she would meet her end!”Stop!” The driver was about to catch her. But Dolores simply ran like mad with all her strength. She ran desperately for her life. There was light from the grove not far away, so Dolores guessed someone might be in the grove. In this critical moment, she could only save herself by asking for help. She disappeared into the grove and scurried towards the light while shouting ‘help’, hoping to attract others’ attention in this manner.???.???e?s?o?e.C(o)?The driver was well-built, while Dolores got hurt before and was then caught by the driver. “Don’t try to escape,” said the driver. He dragged her towards the road and attempted to jam her into the car again. Dolores turned over and bit his arm. The driver screamed in pain and slapped her on the cheek, “Bitch! How dare you bite me?”Dolores was still biting and blood dispersed in her mouth. Failing to endure the pain, the driver loosened his grip. Dolores took the opportunity to squirm free and ran even faster than she did just now.”Stop!” The driver chased after her again but was tripped up by something and fell on the ground, which gave Dolores a chance to escape. When she got closer, she found that the light was from a villa. She ran to the villa and banged on the door, “Help, someone please help me!”The knocking was so loud. Right at this moment, the driver caught up to her. He stared at Dolores who was already cornered, “Escape? Go on! Let me see where you can go!”Dolores turned a deaf ear to his words and increased the strength when knocking on the door, “Is there someone…”

Before she could finish her words, the door was slowly opened and a lean figure walked out. As he was walking against the light, Dolores could barely see his face under the harsh glare. She narrowed her eyes, “Help.”Just as she finished the word, her legs buckled as her knees gave out and she fell onto the ground. In her trance, she seemed to see the lean figure pouncing over and catching her body.”Lola,” Sampson called her name worriedly. Dolores tried hard to wear a smile and found it was Sampson, “Sampson…”The driver felt something wrong as they two knew each other, so he turned around and ran away. Sampson shot him a glance but didn’t chase after him as Dolores was his major concern at this moment. He carried Dolores into the villa. Under the bright light, he finally saw her mutilated, bleeding knees.”How did you get hurt?” He asked with great concern. Dolores didn’t have the strength to utter a word. Since she was relaxed at this moment, the pain had deprived all her strength. Sampson put her onto the sofa, “I’ll go get the medical kit and clean your wounds so that I can check whether it’s serious.””Sampson, who’s that woman,” asked a lady. She looked elegant and posh in a suit with her hair tied up and was wearing a huge emerald ring on her hand. She was now looking up and down at Dolores who was sitting on the sofa. Dolores was also studying the lady who was dressing elegantly and seemed to be from an extraordinary family. w??.???e???o?e.???Here…The villa had a European-style decoration. The big crystal chandelier on the ceiling was glowing white lights and illuminated the whole living hall, which looked luxurious from every aspect. This was Sampson’s residence? He… He was rich? Sampson didn’t answer that lady’s question. He walked towards the cabinet, took out the medical kit, put it on the table, opened it, and then crouched in front of Dolores, “You may feel the pain when the disinfectants are applied to your wounds. Try to withstand it.”Dolores nodded. The lady seemed to be annoyed by Sampson’s attitude, “Maria had been lost for so many years. How long are you going to punish yourself?”Sampson didn’t want to talk about this topic, “Mom, please come back to your room.””Sampson…””Mom.” Sampson accentuated his tone and fixated his gaze on the middle-aged woman, “I don’t want to talk about the past any longer. Since I’m back this time, I won’t go abroad again.”Camilla Carey was overjoyed. Sampson had been abroad alone over the past several years and refused to tell his families which country he was in. He would just send a letter to them every year, just to assure them that he was still alive and safe. She had been missing him for many years, and she simply hoped that he could come back home. Seeing that he finally got rid of the shadow of Maria’s missing and was willing to come back home, Camilla felt gratified.???.n??(e)?S?o??.???But she was still worried that her son would leave again and wished that he could stay at home forever. ww(w).???e?Sh???.???She thought it would be better if her son could marry a woman in China. Only with such a bond of marriage would she be assured that he wouldn’t leave again. Nevertheless, Sampson rejected this so much, so she didn’t dare to push him hard, “All right. I won’t bother you.”She then walked towards the door with the handbag in her hand. She paused at the door and turned around to steal a glance at Dolores who was sitting on the sofa. Sampson was cleaning her wounds carefully with his head drooped, yet the unspeakable emotions in his eyes couldn’t be concealed. He has been blaming himself for the missing of Maria for all those years. But now he suddenly came back…Camilla fixated her gaze on Dolores’ face for two seconds. Sampson’s back to China must have something to do with this girl. She took a deep breath. She hadn’t seen this girl among the debutantes. Dolores seemed to perceive her searching gaze and turned around, her gaze met with Camilla’s. She curled her lips into a smile, “Madam.”Dolores could tell from the conversation between Camilla and Sampson that Camilla was Sampson’s mother. Camilla nodded slightly to reply to Dolores’ greeting, turned around and walked out of the door. Dolores lowered her head to look at Sampson who was cleaning the bloodstains on her wounds, “Sampson, I haven’t expected that you’re rich.”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
