Accidenttal One Night Stand with My Aloof Uncle-Chapter 78: The Blade that Penetrates White!
Chapter 78: Chapter 78: The Blade that Penetrates White!
"I... I can’t see..."
After a long pause, Chloe Grant finally uttered this weak sentence, her voice trembling.
She was terrified! But she had to keep telling herself to stay calm and not be afraid.
There were many posts about this online, and thieves like this were also scared themselves; their only goal was money.
If she panicked and screamed or refused to hand over the money and angered the already frightened thief, once things spiraled out of control... Chloe Grant’s fate would be very grim.
"The lights are on and you still can’t see!"
The thief simply didn’t believe her, thinking Chloe Grant was deceiving him, and again, the knife in his hand cut into the skin of Chloe Grant’s neck.
Chloe was in too much pain to call out.
But she really couldn’t see!
Even though there was light in the room, it was dimmer than the streetlights outside, entirely insufficient for her to see.
"Really... I... I have night blindness, I can’t see..."
Chloe felt like crying...
But for some reason, the first thought that popped into her head was: Uncle Morgan, please come save me...!
"You’re making things up again! You’re stalling for time, right? You think someone is coming to rescue you, don’t you? Did you call for help?"
The thief, agitated, fired off a barrage of questions, then went berserk and slammed Chloe against the wall, hitting her on the head several times until she was dazed.
Upon discovering the phone in her hand, he snatched it away without even looking and smashed it on the ground, snarling, "I’ll kill you today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the thief raised the knife poised at Chloe Grant’s neck and was about to strike... Chloe’s mind went blank, and in a reflex, she pushed the thief away... She attempted to run, but the thief turned around and slashed her back, and Chloe tripped over something, falling straight down.
The thief approached, and as he raised the knife, the lamp in the room conveniently shone on the blade, its white glare revealing bloodstains...!
For the first time, Chloe knew that at moments like these, the white of a blade was frightening...!
This was it—she was doomed!
Chloe closed her eyes tightly in fear, her mind blank, awaiting death’s arrival!
And—
Just when Chloe thought the knife was going to hit her, and that she would be hacked to death, she suddenly heard the sound of a door being kicked open, followed by the thief’s scream and a series of noises.
Chloe felt someone helping her up, she clung to the person’s hand, feeling a scar on the back of his hand.
It was him...
Before Chloe could react, she heard the person in front of her grunt, then her hand was released, followed by another series of sounds.
Clinging to a nearby object, Chloe’s back was in severe pain, yet she couldn’t see anything. She was panicking, completely unsure of what was happening.
It seemed like security had arrived, someone shouted, "Mr. Morgan."
When everything finally calmed down, Chloe was once again pulled up by someone.
Her hand instinctively stroked the hand supporting her, constantly rubbing at the scar on its back.
Her initial panic seemed to be soothed by this scar.
"I’ll take you to the hospital." A husky voice broke the darkness, causing Chloe’s body to tremble suddenly.
She hurriedly said, "Turn on the light first, let me see if you’re hurt."
It seemed like the thief had fought back just now...
"Light?"
The man suddenly paused, looking at the well-lit room... furrowing his brows.
He waved his hand in front of Chloe, but she had no reaction...!
