Stop Panicking! Miss Jacobs will Not Look Back!-Chapter 281: From Now On, Through Every Lifetime, I Never Want to See You Again
At this suffocating moment of confrontation, Isabelle Sinclair slowly regained consciousness.
The kidnapper’s last words reached her ears, and she was instantly overcome with panic.
"Brother-in-law, Elias, save me, I don’t want to wear that, I don’t want to die."
She shouted loudly, her body trembling violently from extreme fear,
Juliana Jacobs seemed to return to when she was 12 years old, she and her father were chased near Zarith, and almost every way were blocked. Elias Langley didn’t think twice, choosing to throw her out.
Right before getting in the car, Elias Langley grabbed her arms and asked if she trusted him?
At that time, Juliana already had a premonition about her future, but still nodded.
Her trust in him exceeded herself.
But until her car rolled into the river, she never waited for him.
And this time, Isabelle Sinclair was Mrs. Sinclair’s heart and soul.
Whether she deserves it is completely unimportant.
The important thing is, if Elias Langley lets Isabelle Sinclair get into trouble here today, he won’t be able to explain to the Sinclair Family, and all the relationships and balance he maintains will collapse.
Memories and reality like cold lake water instantly drowned Juliana.
She was somewhat unstable, fortunately, the kidnapper roughly grabbed her arm, this temporary support barely concealed her current shaky fragility.
Juliana no longer looked at Elias Langley, just slowly, and resignedly closed her eyes.
Elias Langley’s gaze paused on her briefly, then ultimately made that undisputed choice.
"Release Isabelle Sinclair."
The last glimmer of hope in Juliana’s heart was completely extinguished, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The leading kidnapper didn’t say a word, put the explosive vest on Juliana.
The complex lock clicked shut, the electronic screen instantly lit up, and the red numbers began to leap.
Her life entered a five-minute countdown.
"Looks like you really aren’t Helena Sinclair."
The leading kidnapper sneered grimly, releasing Juliana.
Juliana weakly fell to the ground.
But next, he fiercely kicked the side of Isabelle Sinclair’s waist, sending her towards Elias Langley.
As Isabelle Sinclair flew towards Elias Langley, surrounding smoke bombs "bang, bang, bang" exploded one after another, and thick smoke instantly filled the entire space.
But at the same time, several figures in camouflage uniforms swiftly swung in using ropes from the high windows, even directly from the large openings where there were no walls.
The scene descended into chaos.
In the dense fog and flying bullets, several resisting kidnappers were hit and fell one after another.
While that leading kidnapper used this brief chaos and hostages as a shield, and with a flash, disappeared deep down the unfinished stairwell.
In just one or two minutes, the smoke gradually thinned, Raine Kane saw Juliana’s position clearly, shouted "Juliana!" and was about to run over.
But Juliana forcefully raised her hand, "Don’t... come over."
Raine Kane paused his steps.
The timer on Juliana bleeped twice, showing the countdown had entered two minutes.
"All personnel on site, evacuate now!" Elias Langley ordered.
No time was left for them to compete with him.
Raine Kane left behind a toolbox and carried the wounded Isabelle Sinclair down.
Elias Langley rushed to Juliana’s side, quickly assessing the explosive vest on her.
The situation was worse than he imagined.
The timer was fully sealed with no line to cut. The lock was a special device, once locked, it couldn’t be conventionally removed.
He tried several times but all failed.
"It’s useless, you should leave."
Juliana’s voice was light, carrying a kind of hopeless exhaustion.
"Elias Langley, in future lives, I don’t want to ever see you again."
Elias Langley’s hands didn’t stop moving, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but his voice was exceptionally calm.
"Don’t say foolish things. This time, I can save you."
"Why are you doing this? My life is lonely and unanchored, ending might not be a bad thing, but you are different."
No response came, Juliana turned her face away, no longer looking at him.
Time ticked away second by second, the numbers mercilessly leaping towards the end.
Just at this critical moment, a "click" was heard, and the whole structure of the explosive vest loosened.
But only three seconds remained for Elias Langley.
Patrick Langley forcefully peeled the vest off Juliana, then with all his might, threw it out towards the large opening with no walls.
Immediately after, he shielded Juliana with his body, unable to move.
With a loud "boom", scorching shockwaves mixed with broken bricks and stones surged in from the opening.
Elias Langley’s body shook violently, taking all the impact and damage on his own back.
Everything returned to calm.
In the thick smell of gunpowder, Juliana struggled to push the man protecting her with his entire body.
"Elias Langley?"
There was no response.
"Elias Langley..."
She called again, her voice carrying a rasp and tremble she hadn’t noticed.
But in the next second, dizziness and nausea hit, Juliana’s vision went black, and she too lost consciousness. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
...
She didn’t know how long she was unconscious.
Juliana regained consciousness amidst sharp noisy sounds.
"Let go of me, I want to see Elias! How can you arrest me? Accused of kidnapping, where’s the evidence?"
From outside the hospital room came Isabelle Sinclair’s hysterical voice.
Juliana struggled to open her eyes and found herself already in a hospital.
Just as she was about to observe her surroundings, from the corner of her eye she noticed another hospital bed beside her.
She slowly turned her head, only to see Elias Langley quietly lying there, his face pale, his back wrapped in thick bandages, still unconscious.
"Juliana, you’re awake!" Raine Kane said happily.
Looking at the glaring white on Elias Langley’s back, Juliana’s heart was a mix of flavors.
She looked back at Raine Kane who was already standing by her bed.
"What’s happening outside?"
"Isabelle Sinclair is suspected of multiple crimes, her bail has been revoked, she wants to see Mr. Langley."
She actually wants to cling again to the life-saving straw that is Elias Langley.
Juliana closed her eyes to steady herself, struggled to sit up.
Raine Kane immediately stepped forward, delicately adjusted her bed’s angle.
"Where’s my husband’s phone?"
Raine Kane took the phone from under Elias Langley’s pillow, handed it over, while reminding, "Mr. Langley’s phone has a password, except for him..."
Before he finished speaking, the moment Juliana turned the phone screen towards herself, facial recognition succeeded, and the phone unlocked.
Raine Kane touched his nose, swallowed back the second half of his sentence.
"Please let Isabelle Sinclair and the officers come in." Juliana said.
