Chapter 10 288 iVouchers Chapter 10 Sophie's lifeless face still had her eyes wide open, staring straight into Alexander's eyes. His pupils contracted, and he froze in place, unable to believe it. "Sophie?" Muttering, he suddenly came to his senses. His heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by a hook, aching intense- ly. His steps were unsteady and weak. As soon as he opened the car door, Alexander roared: "Save her!" Almost like a madman, he hurriedly carried Sophie down from the car. Alexander cupped Sophie's face before him, his hands trembling uncontrollably. The icy cold touch from his hands made Alexander panic. He shouted frantically: "Everyone, move aside! Move!" The moment he looked down, Alexander noticed that Sophie was completely naked, covered in scars. And what made one's scalp tingle the most was her abdomen, which was exposed, with intestines covered in fresh blood. The last bit of Alexander's reason snapped at this horrifying sight. He held Sophie tightly. The cold body told him that this was already a dead person. But he didn't believe it. He used all his strength to hold the person in his arms tightly and turned to get back into the car. The person in his arms was too light. The sticky blood now flowed down Alexander's hands and onto the ground, deepening his fear and unease: "Hurry!" His eyes were almost out of focus. He walked as fast as he could while carrying Sophie's body, but every step felt like stepping on cotton. "Sophie, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Alexander kept repeating the words, but he was holding Sophie and couldn't open the door. His wolf-like eyes were bloodshot, fixed on the trembling driver beside him: "Open the door!" 0.0% 12:38 Chapter 10 11 288 Vouchers The driver glanced at Sophie in Alexander's arms, clearly no longer breathing, and hesitated. "This person is already dead..." These words ignited Alexander like a bomb. He roared: "If you don't open the door, I'll kill you!" A bystander nearby opened the car door for him and quickly stepped aside. Only then did Alexander put the person down from his embrace. He immediately covered Sophie with his coat and then held her tightly again. As if afraid she might suddenly disappear from his arms. The driver had no choice but to drive, but his eyes kept darting, watching Alexander in the back seat. Alexander held Sophie regardless, constantly patting the back of her head, still comforting her: "It'll be alright soon, alright." "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." At this moment, Alexander was like someone who had lost his mind. He kept repeating the words, his eyes vacant, filled with numbness and deep pain. Meanwhile, from Sophie's body, a faint, colorless wisp of a soul slowly drifted out, gathering like smoke. Sophie saw her own pale body in the car and also saw Alexander, who was now holding her tightly in his arms, clear- ly in a poor mental state. "Sophie, Sophie..." Sophie watched this scene without any ripple in her heart. Compared to the suffering she had endured, these tears meant nothing to her. She watched as Alexander carried her out of the car and into the hospital, watched him scream hysterically at every- one. "Doctor! Hurry, save her!" The doctor merely checked for breath, then shook his head apologetically: "He's already gone. My condolences." But Alexander remained obstinate, grabbing the doctor's sleeve: "Do something! 405% 12.38 Chapter 10 11 288 Vouchers Why won't you even try?" Seeing only the driver who'd retreated three paces away, with no one to restrain Alexander, the doctor reluctantly nodded. Watching Sophie being wheeled away, Alexander finally snapped back to reality-only to collapse onto the floor. Blood coating his hands resurrected his last memory of Sophie: "I was wrong! I swear I was wrong! Please don't leave me here! Uncle Alexander, save me..." "I can't be alone with those men-I'll lose my mind, I truly will!" Her agonized screams now felt like claws ripping through Alexander's chest, suffocating him as large tears fell from his face. Overwhelmed by regret, he choked out between sobs: "Sophie." Floating in the air, Sophie witnessed Alexander weeping like this for the first time. But unexpectedly, she felt nothing. B07 12:38 8
