Chapter 235 The Man With a Crescent Scar
Aurora picked up her luggage and told something to her son. After sending Anna and Theodore to the car, she turned around and walked in the direction of the underground parking lot.
Since the other passengers on the same flight had almost gone away, the underground parking lot was quiet. And Aurora found her car soon.
She fished out her car key from the purse, and before the relaxed smile faded on her face, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. A swirling storm gradually ignited in her amber-like pupils. Not far away, right in front of her car, the hood was raised high by a man, who was fiddling with something in there.
Although the guy was wearing a duck-tongue hat and mask, she could see his exposed left eye.
Shivering with fear, Aurora recognized that man.
Under the lights, his shadow was stretched long on the floor. When he was moving with something in his hands, he was like a horrible monster.
Aurora forced herself to calm down and moved silently to take out her phone. She could only remember a blurred shape of a man and a crescent scar at the corner of his eye. But she was not sure whether the man beside the car was the one in her memory.
She put the phone on mute before carefully turning on the camera. As the camera zoomed in, the crescent scar at the corner of the man’s eye was revealed.
Aurora trembled a bit and she almost lost her grip on the phone.
It was him!
He was the man who drove the van five years ago, and the man who put a black bag on her. She couldn’t get rid of what had happened that time when he kicked her in the stomach after wrapping her in a bag. All those nightmares had been haunting her for long.
And now he showed up again. What could he be up to this time? Could he be trying to kill her a second time by putting his hands on her car again?
A great sense of foreboding chilled her, with the car floating away with the current, the icy river water and the wounds soaked in water buzzing through her brain. She kept on replaying the desperation in her mind.
Her face turned pale with fear and hatred. At this moment, she could not wait to rush up and make this man pay in blood. However, she quickly calmed down. She clasped the phone tight as if she was trying to crush it.
If she gave in to her urges now, not only would she fail to revenge, but she might also put herself in danger, not to mention the person hiding behind him. She couldn’t alert him. Therefore, Aurora raised her other hand to hold the phone steady. She was clear that the most important thing was to save the evidence.
The man in a grey work uniform found the brake line from the engine and did something to it with metal pliers skillfully. And he snorted now and then. As he finished everything without panic, he closed the hood smoothly and turned around to walk to the corner.
“It’s already done. This is working this time.”
Aurora, still puzzled by what he said, suddenly stared wide-eyed as she watched a woman walk out of the corner.
It was Nevaeh.
Aurora’s hand couldn’t help shaking, and then she crept backwards a bit, towards a pillar with the fire hydrant, and hid in the shadows.
The two who were talking did not notice her and continued to talk.
“You better deliver.”
Nevaeh appeared with a murderous look on her face, which was a stark contrast to her genial look as usual.
“Don’t you forget it? Five years ago, you promised me Aurora was dead, and what happened? She is still intact in Lower Hopton!”
“That was an accident.”
The eyes of the man in a grey overall were so dangerous and sharp as if they had been soaked in the dense black night.
“Who knew that she would have been so lucky to be alive after all that.”
Nevaeh glanced at him and sneered, “So what if fate was kind to her that day?”
Anyway, she would try all she could to end Aurora’s life, no matter how many times fate would be kind to her.
“Let’s go.”
“I’m going to check the surveillance again, you’d better get out of here.” The man pulled the brim of his hat to cover his face. He was cautious.
“No.” Nevaeh glanced at the white BMW and had a sinister smile on her face, “I want to see her die in front of me.”
She thought Aurora must be more likeable when she died.
The man didn’t answer again and turned to walk in a direction.
Aurora leaned closely against the wall, feeling numb all over. Only she knew that the sweat seeping through her undershirt had almost drenched her clothes, and it took her a while to react.
It turned out that Sion was not the murderer.
But Aurora dismissed this idea the next second, thinking that Sion and Nevaeh would have been in collusion to kill her since they loved each other. She couldn’t believe Sion now, for he was only a hypocrite who would create chances for his partner by getting her confused to kill her.
Grinding her teeth, she kept suppressing the simmering animosity in her heart. She did not dare to stay any longer, so she put away the phone and returned the way she came. When she walked to the rest area, she sat down to catch her breath.
After she calmed down, she fished her cell phone out of her purse and dialled Cameron’s number.
“Do you miss me again?”
Upon hearing his familiar voice, Aurora settled down quickly.
“Cameron,” she tried to keep a calm voice.
But the other side paused for a moment, seeming to know that something was wrong.
Aurora rarely called him by his name in such a serious tone, instead, she would call him “Mr Dawson” or “Master Dawson” usually.
“What’s wrong?” asked he, with eyebrows furrowed.
Aurora took a slow breath and said in a low voice, “I saw the man who tried to kill me back then.”
She remembered that there were several people, and the man with a crescent scar at the corner of his eye was the boss, and the others were just minions following him.
Cameron stood up urgently.
“Are you safe now?” asked he, worried.
“Yes.”
Aurora looked around and continued, “I took a video of him, and I’m asking for your help to get on this.”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
“You don’t have to ask for my help, I mean your concerns are my concerns.” Said Cameron, a bit sullen, “Don’t worry, I will find out!”
His words surprised Aurora. And then she hung up the phone and emailed the video to Cameron. Then she deleted the record on her phone before getting up and walking to the taxi waiting area.
She knew that that guy had done something to her car, and they were still lurking somewhere there. So she directly took a taxi back to her office.
