Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1388
Sonny cried as he put up a fight to break free from the man’s locked arms.
The boy even kicked the man. It was a shame Sonny’s limited strength was merely a scratch to the big man.
It was useless.
Seeing that his kicking did not work, Sonny suddenly slapped the man’s eyes. Now, he got a reaction.
The man in black could not see as Sonny smacked and slapped his eyes. The man staggered in his footsteps and could not
keep up the speed.
Liberty gave everything she got to pick up her pace. Ten meters, five meters, one meter....
Frustrated, the man in black was about to knock Sonny unconscious when Liberty charged up and pounced on him. She got
Sonny back, but she tumbled onto the ground. Despite falling down, she kept her son tightly wrapped in her embrace. Sonny
remained on top of his mother during the fall.
The only thing a mother could think of was protecting her child in a moment of danger.
Not wanting his effort to go in vain, the man in black came to snatch Sonny when Liberty fell. There was no way Liberty would let
go. She locked Sonny in a tight grip while Sonny slapped away the man’s hands, refusing to let the man take him. Sonny even
tried to bite the man.
A flurry of footsteps was drawing close.
Many had chased their way here.
The man in black noticed that some of the people were his companions, but the majority were highly-trained security personnel.
“Run! Take the child and run!”
His companions yelled at him.
Anxious, the man in black tried to grab Sonny, but Liberty would not release her grip on her son. The man saw rage and started
kicking Liberty.

Despite being in agony, Liberty would not let go all the same. She would not let go of Sonny even at the cost of death.
“Don’t hit my mom! Don’t hit my mom!”
Sonny wanted to protect his mother, but he was too little. Since his mother clutched him tightly against her, there was nothing he
could do.
Seeing that his kicking was not enough to loosen Liberty’s grip, the man pulled out a knife and unsheathed it before cutting into
Liberty’s arm.
Liberty felt a stabbing pain in her arm as blood spilled and quickly stained her clothes.
The pain was not enough reason for Liberty to let go either.
Losing his temper, the man randomly stabbed Liberty again and again...
Liberty stayed down as she shielded her son who was now under her. The blood-stained knife slashed her body.
After two or three gashes, someone kicked the knife out of the man’s hand. The man made a last- ditch effort to fight, but he was
soon beaten to a pulp and groaning on the ground.
“Ms. Hunt!”
The bodyguard, responsible for protecting Liberty and Sonny in the dark, was shocked to discover Liberty in blood.
“Sonny...”
Color drained from Liberty’s complexion due to the blood loss. Her vision became blurry, but she and her son were safe now as
Zachary’s men had arrived....
She let go of her son and fell to the side. Blacking out, Liberty let the darkness swallow her as a whole.
“Ms. Hunt!”
“Mom! Mom!”
Scared stiff, Sonny kept pushing his mother, but his mom remained still. With blood gushing out of his mother, Sonny tried to
wipe away the blood in a fluster. Yet, blood kept coming out. He tried to cover his mother’s injuries with his hands, but Mom had

more than one cut. Sonny did not have enough hands for all the injuries.
“Mom!”
Sonny burst into tears.
His hands and body were tainted with his mother’s blood.
The York family’s bodyguard wasted no time calling 911.
The police siren ensued.
The companions of the man in black scattered and fled.
Hank, who finally caught up, was out of breath. He was about to sigh at his son’s presence, but the gory scene made his knees
weak. He stumbled his way ahead to carry Liberty to the hospital.
