Chapter: 218
“You...” Theodore was stunned. He wasn’t sure what to say for a moment.
Ariana gave him a bright smile. She waved the rope in her hands and said happily, “I found it in the trunk. I can get you out now.”
She wrapped one end of the rope around Theodore. “I’ll wrap the other end of the rope around the street lamp and pull you out.
It may hurt a little. Hold on.”
“Why did you come back? Go!” Theodore’s eyes turned red and he stared fiercely at the woman in front of him.
Ariana ignored him and fastened the rope.
“I said I didn’t want you to rescue me. The car is going to explode. Get out, now. You don’t need to sacrifice your life for me. I
won’t appreciate that.”
Normally he was a man of few words, but now he was anxious and rambling.
“Shut up!” Ariana interrupted him. “You’re talking too much.”
Theodore choked in astonishment.
This was the first time someone had dared to tell him to shut up in such an impatient way.
He wanted to say something, to somehow restore his dignity, but Ariana had already begun to pull on the rope. She tried her
best, and even after she pulled so hard that her hands started to bleed, he didn’t budge.
She was exhausted, and collapsed back, bursting into tears.
“Why don’t you just leave?” Theodore asked. Her tears made his heart ache. “If you leave, you’ll live. You don’t have to care
about me.”
Squatting beside the car, Ariana started sobbing. “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Lynch is here because of me. If I leave you like this,
then I’ll have the image of you turning into a ghost for the rest of my life...”
Theodore chuckled. He was suddenly hit with the feeling that Ariana was really cute. Her words dissipated his sadness, and he
said, “Don’t cry. In fact, I’ve been hiding something from you.”
“What?” Ariana said, looking at Theodore with red, swollen eyes.
She looked so pitiful. She wiped away the tears with the back of her hands. “In that case, I will tell you this. I have something I’ve
been hiding from you, too.”
Theodore raised his eyebrows slightly. “Then you tell me first.”
She slowly put her hand on her belly.
Before Ariana could finish her words, she saw a car speeding in their direction. Seeing the car, Ariana stood up suddenly and
stumbled over toward it, blocking it without hesitation.
“Ariana!”
Theodore roared in shock. His heart skipped a beat when he saw her petite figure nearly get hit by a car.
The car stopped just in time, and four people got out. It was Aziel and Sarah, and two strange men, who must be friends of Aziel.
Ariana didn’t have time to ask why they would come here, and hurriedly asked them to save Theodore and Horace. “The car is
going to explode. Please help me get them out
