NovelEnglishChapter 178:
All the color drained from Norah's face.
Without sparing a moment to inquire about the people following Phillip, she anxiously ordered, “Take us there.”
Sean understood the gravity of the situation and quickly followed suit, saying briskly, “Phillip, lead the way.”
Cloaked in black robes that obscured their features, the six people from Sacredice looked particularly ominous as
they trailed behind Phillip.
But Norah was too preoccupied to care about those from Sacredice.
Right now, her thoughts were solely on Alice.
Alice was armed, and Norah assumed she could protect herself.
The fact that Alice was hurt went beyond her expectations.
As Phillip led them toward Alice, Norah felt her heart pounding in her chest.
When her eyes finally landed on Alice in the distance, her breath caught in her throat.

The blonde-haired Alice lay motionless amidst the ruins, blood pouring from the wounds on her shoulder and left
leg.
Her clothes had been torn to shreds, and her face was leaning to one side, but to Norah's relief, she was
breathing.
Next to Alice were the lifeless bodies of two men. Both men had been shot in the head.
The police at the scene were busy trying to maintain order. When Norah and the others approached, the police
didn’t drive them away. On the contrary, they stepped aside to let them walk in under the police tape.
“When we showed up, those guys were bullying your friend, so we killed them,” Phillip recounted the grim
situation. “Luckily, we got here in time.”
Indeed, if Phillip had arrived a minute later, Alice might not have survived.
Tossing the gun and dagger aside, Norah rushed over and crouched beside Alice, hurrying to straighten Alice's
clothes.
Norah gazed at the two gaping wounds on Alice's body and made a split-second decision, her eyes flashing with
fierce determination. “Do you have a lighter?”
“Yes.” Sean, being a smoker, always kept a lighter in his pocket.
Without wasting a moment, he swiftly pulled out a shiny silver lighter with intricately carved patterns and
crouched down beside Norah. “What are you going to do?”
Norah reached for the dagger.
Its silver-white blade glinted coldly, and the razor-sharp edge looked deadly.
“Helpheat up the blade,” she ordered briskly, handing the dagger over to Sean.
In the meantime, she cleaned Alice’s wound to make it easier to remove the bullets later.
Then Norah looked down at her clothes. She was wearing nothing but light black leather, which couldn't be used
to bandage up Alice’s wounds.
Desperate for a solution, her eyes darted all over the place until they landed on the black-clothed individuals.
Their robes could make makeshift bandages.
But because she didn’t know who these mysterious people were, Norah didn’t dare rip the clothes off their
backs.
Instead, Norah called over Phillip, who was wearing a white shirt. “Phillip, chere, please!”

A minute later, Phillip was left wearing only a suit jacket over his bare upper body, looking somewhat awkward.
A very satisfied-looking Norah was holding Phillip’s white shirt, which was still warm.
Even without the proper tools, she firmly believed she could save her friend.
“Here, Norah.”
Sean was completely clueless when it cto first aid procedures of this magnitude, but he did know that
heating the dagger would sterilize it.
He observed Norah as she took the dagger and calmly opened the wound on Alice’s shoulder, turning the tip of
the knife to extract the bullet.
Sean heard an unsettling scratching sound.
He shuddered, knowing full well that it was the sound of the blade scraping against bone.
Norah, on the other hand, appeared entirely composed, and her hand holding the knife remained steady.
She systematically worked to extract the bullet and then wrapped the torn white shirt around the wound.
After bandaging the wound on Alice’s shoulder, Norah immediately moved on to attend to the wound on Alice's
thigh.
Norah, who had been on edge, only let out a sigh of relief once she had extracted the two bullets.
