Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

2/2 Chapter 490 15 [ I'm in Shawadi . If needed , I can finish gender reassignment surgery and come back to give Mr. Grimwald a baby monkey ! ] The core team was on vacation , and the group chat immediately turned into a circus . I felt a chill run down my spine just reading it and told everyone to get lost . After that , I messaged Jeanine privately to finalize the procurement budget , set my phone aside , and got ready to leave for Beaushire . " The Amos family is clearly targeting me , " I muttered , frowning as I started the car .

" If I don't show up , who knows how long those factories will stay closed . Even though things in Astergrad are back on track , Beaushire needs to recover too . " With that thought , I headed straight there . The drive went by quickly , but just as I reached the city limits , the gas tank hit empty . I had no choice but to pull into the nearest station . It wasn't even part of Beaushire - just a small county town under its jurisdiction , maybe even a rural township .

A lonely gas station sat by the road , with a wide stretch of highway across from it and tall weeds lining both sides , nearly as high as a person . I looked around while the tank filled . An attendant called out , reminding me to get out and pay . The moment Sebastian turned to step outside , the tall weeds rustled . A strikingly beautiful woman stumbled out , her face pale and her body swaying as if she might collapse at any moment . " He noticed me ? " She glanced at his back , her brows knitting . When he didn't react , she muttered , " Forget it . Maybe he's just a passerby .

If I can't lose them , I'm dead . I have to get in a car - any car . " Clenching her teeth , she forced herself forward , opened Sebastian's rear door , and slipped inside . " Just an ordinary man , " she whispered weakly . " Even poisoned , I can still knock him out if I have to ... " A low cry escaped her , her face twisting in pain . Meanwhile , Sebastian paid for the gas , got back in , and drove off completely unaware someone had entered the backseat . Five minutes passed . Then , in the rearview mirror , I caught a glimpse of a shadow . I glanced up , not thinking much of it at first .

A second later , instinct screamed . Something was wrong . I slammed on the brakes . Someone was in my car - a stranger I had never seen enter . Her long hair hid her face . If it hadn't been broad daylight , I might have thought I'd run into a ghost . " You ! Who the hell are you ? You nearly scared me to death ! " 1/2 chapter 400 Before I could react further , she pulled a knife and pressed it to my throat Her voice was ice - cold . " Don't move . Move , and you die . " I froze , every hair on my body standing on end . +25 Bones " Hey , listen , " I said carefully .

" We don't even know each other . Why are you trying to kill me ? What did I do ? " I stared at her helplessly . The only woman I knew who'd ever pull something like this was Hera , but this definitely wasn't her . So who the hell was she ? " You didn't offend me , " she said hoarsely . " But you don't need to know who I am . Just drive me to a hospital . I was bitten by a venomous snake . Think of it as saving a life . " Her voice shook with exhaustion and urgency . Even the hand holding the knife trembled . The cold blade quivered against my throat , and a chill shot down my spine .

I forced a nervous laugh . " Hey , if you'd just said you were bitten by a snake , I'd have helped . No need for the knife . And if you want me to drive , you'll have to move it . If you slip even a little , we both end up dead . " Comments Support admin Olivia Harris is an emerging author celebrated for her captivating romantic and steamy novels.
