Chapter 0170
“Fuck, it hurts” Emma screams in agony, making me come out of my shock just in time to
see the man
raise his pistol.
I scramble to take the gun that I had dropped and immediately fire. He drops to the
ground. I get up rush to Emma, who was writhing on the ground.
and
I don’t even check if the man was alive or dead. Right now, it didn’t F***ing matter to me.
Not when I’m pumped full of adrenaline and Emma was bleeding on the ground.
“I’m dying aren’t I?” she asks with tears filling her eyes.
I could have told her to stop being a cry baby, but I don’t. Not when she’s the one that
shoved me and

“No, you are not” I respond as I examine her.
She’d been shot in the shoulder, and it was bleeding a lot. I was worried. First of all, she
might just bleed to death, and second, we were still in danger. Someone was bound to find
us eventually.
“You’re lying!” she hisses when I put pressure on the wound. “If I’m not dying then why
the hell does it feel like I am?”
I don’t answer. Choosing instead to focus on stopping the bleeding. As teachers, we are
required to know basic first aid. The bullet was still lodged inside, so I couldn’t remove it.
Not without knowing the extent of the damage. Instead, I rip the hem of my dress and tie
it tightly around her shoulder.
“Damn it, I should have just stayed in that F***ing room” she grumbles, glaring at me. Her
eyes showed the pain that she was trying to hide.
“Come on. We have to keep moving” I say as I slowly help her up and we start moving.
Fuck. Rowan was going to kill me. Not only did I put Emma in danger by dragging her into
my escape plan, but I also got her shot. I didn’t know how to face him when we manage to
get free.
Sure, others might reason that it was Emma’s decision to take the bullet for me. That I
didn’t ask her to do it, but Rowan might not see it that way. He will take one look at his
bleeding precious Emma and blame me.
Sighing, I pull her up straight. I was currently supporting her weight. She was leaning into
me as her right hand hung helplessly by her side. I honestly don’t how long before we
were found. At the pace we were going I estimate that it won’t be long.
I don’t know for how long we were walking. Maybe an hour or a few minutes, I couldn’t
tell, because it felt like an eternity. I was starting to get tired from carrying both our
weights. My legs were aching, my hands were shaking and my head was pounding. Emma

“Maybe we should rest” I pant.
“Yesss. That’s a gooood idea” she slurs, tipping forward, almost tripping both of us.
I look for a hidden place, before gently lowering her down. I then sit next to her and lean
my head against
the old car.
This place was like a F***ing maze. It felt like we have just been going round in circles
from the moment we escaped that room. I was so tired and hungry that I didn’t care if
they found us. I just wanted some pain meds, food and a nap.
“Emma, I’m not sure we can escape” I tell her but receive no answer.
I face her. Her eyes were closed and her mouth slightly open.
“Emma?” I call again, but she still doesn’t answer.
