Chapter 360: Larry's Escape
Chapter 360: Larry's Escape
Larry's POV:
I couldn't believe the lycan king managed to strike me down.I got so carried away with Morgan and Amelia that I dropped my guard against him.
Fortunately, I had come to this battle fully prepared.
On my finger was a magic ring.
It wasn't nearly as useful as my magic wand, but it was capable of casting spells at critical moments such as this.
Sure enough, they didn't know that I was carrying such a trump card.
When I was trampled on the ground by Anthony, I activated my ring secretly and cast a spell just as they let their guard down.
A light shot out of the ring, like a bullet from a gun.
At first, I pretended to aim my attack at that bitch, Jennifer.
Sure enough, when he saw that his precious mate was about to get hit, the lycan king abandoned me and rushed to her side. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
But Jennifer wasn't my target.
Morgan was the bastard I wanted to kill the most.
When the light went towards that bastard, I was almost ecstatic.I could practically taste the sweetness of revenge on my tongue.
Never in my wildest dreams would I have anticipated that it would be Amelia who would take the fall and not that accursed bastard.She had intercepted my attack.
Seeing all the color drain from Amelia's face, my heart nearly stopped in my chest.
The light had practically pierced through her waist.I stared at her blankly and watched as she spat out mouthfuls of blood.
After letting out a bone-chilling shriek, she collapsed to the ground.I knew she was going to die any second now.
My body suddenly felt numb.
This wasn't the plan.
I didn't want to kill Amelia.I loved her! I just wanted to kill the fucking bastard who took her away from me! Why did she have to sacrifice herself to protect that son of a bitch? Damn it! Damn it all to hell! I had used the last of my strength to launch that attack just now.
God, why? Why did this have to happen? I broke down again.
Jealousy consumed my heart and all I wanted was to be by Amelia's side.
"Amelia, no! I didn't mean to hurt you!" I stumbled towards her, regardless of her being surrounded by my enemies.
"Amelia, I didn't want to hurt you.I just wanted to kill everyone who got in our way!"
I couldn't catch a glimpse of her.
She was surrounded by a crowd.
Damn it! I tried my best to squeeze through the crowd to get close to her, but suddenly I felt a strong wind blowing at me.
I instinctively knew something was wrong, so I quickly took a few steps backward, narrowly avoiding lightning bolts from the sky.
"How dare you try to get close to her again? Larry, you're a fucking demon! No, you're the devil himself!" Morgan raised his wand and took a step towards me ominously.
"You hurt Amelia countless times.I won't let you go.I'm going to make you pay.Even if it means risking my own life, I swear I'll never let you go!"
But I didn't give a damn about him.
I simply fixed my eyes on the half-dead Amelia, who was being lifted onto a stretcher.
"No, no, Amelia, I didn't want to hurt you.I love you! Amelia, please! I love you! Don't leave me!"
Amelia finally peeled her eyes open and looked straight at me.
But there was only unmasked hatred in her eyes.
After shooting me one last glare, she turned her head away from me.
Of course.
Amelia hated me for hurting her. I felt as if I Had been struck by lightning.I lost all feeling in my fingers and toes.
Burying my face in my hands, I wanted to shout to vent the pain in my heart, but instead I was choked with sobs.What had I done? What had I done?! Then, I raised my head, fierce determination flashing in my eyes.
My heart was bursting at the seams with hatred.
Only now did I realize that no matter what I did, Amelia wouldn't like me.It would be better to be destroyed together with her.
"Fine! If that's how you're going to treat me, then I'll just kill you!" I roared into the sky.
"Let's all just die together! I won't let.any of you survive!"
"Larry, enough!" Morgan shouted at me.
"Everyone, look! He used a magic ring.Take his ring away and then he'll be powerless!"
I shot him a murderous glare and gritted my teeth angrily.
How did he see right through me? Morgan was really something.But now, there was no time to lose.I needed to run, or else I'd never get a chance to exact my revenge.
"Sandstorm!" I shouted, raising my left hand.
The ring on my finger glowed obediently.
The number of spells that could be cast through the magic ring was limited.I concentrated on using one of my most powerful curses.Sure enough, a gust of yellow sand quickly blew up from the ground in the garden as soon as I finished the incantation.
Amidst the whirling sand, I dove to the ground.
Before I completely sank into the soil and disappeared, I shot that bastard one last glare and shouted at Amelia, "Honey, I will come back for you! Wait for me!"
Morgan's POV:
Larry managed to escape, but I didn't care at the moment.
All I cared about was Amelia.
"Leave Larry alone for now.Our priority is to save Amelia," Anthony ordered his attendants urgently.
I looked at him gratefully and then ran out of the garden alongside the attendants carrying the stretcher.I held Amelia's hand tightly.
She was lying lifelessly on the stretcher, too weak to open her eyes.I could sense that her breath was getting weaker and weaker.
"Amelia, you're scaring me.You'll be fine.Don't fall asleep, honey!" I squeezed her hand and begged.
"Honey, you'll be fine! Just hang in there for a little longer." My pleas were met with silence.
Amelia was in a coma, which made my heart leap to my throat.I felt as though I was losing her.I tried my best to suppress my grief and followed the attendants as they carried the stretcher.
While waiting for the ambulance, I began to use the healing magic on Amelia, hoping that she could hold on.
Soon, the ambulance arrived and the first-aid staff carried Amelia into the ambulance.
The doctors transferred Amelia from the stretcher into the ambulance.I followed them into the ambulance, watching the doctors try desperately to save Amelia.
Jennifer and Anthony followed us inside.
Then, the ambulance rushed to the royal hospital.
As we zipped through the capital, everyone eyed the weakened Amelia warily.
"How is she?" Jennifer asked the doctor anxiously.
"Mrs.Jones, she's bleeding heavily from the wound.She's in bad shape, but we'll do our best to save her," the doctor in scrubs replied briskly.
Oh, my God! How could I have let this happen? All of a sudden, I fell to my knees and crouched by the bed, staring at the lifeless Amelia.
My heart sank to my stomach.
No! Amelia! Don't do this to me! How could I have let this happen? I was a terrible husband.
"Amelia!" I cried desperately, tears rolling down my cheeks uncontrollably.
I held her hand tightly, wishing that we could trade places.I should've been the one lying in bed unconscious, not her.
"Honey, hang in there.Please." I gently pressed the back of Amelia's hand against my cheek.
"I love you, honey.Hang in there.For me."
"I'm sorry, Morgan.We weren't able to protect Amelia," Anthony sighed heavily.
He and Jennifer looked at me remorsefully, as though they felt that this was all their fault.
"Don't apologize.You two have been very kind and have helped us greatly."
I shook my head.
"This is all Larry's fault.I'm going to kill him myself."
When the image of Larry flashed in my head, I gritted my teeth angrily.
"We failed to catch Larry this time, but now we know better.We won't let him escape next time," Anthony said seriously, looking at me with a straight face.
"And don't worry.Amelia will be fine.The doctors of the royal hospital are all the top in their fields of specialty.I just know they'll be able to save Amelia."
Wincing in pain, I nodded.
"Thank you, Mr.Jones.I hope you're right."
After saying that, I turned to focus all my attention on Amelia.
Maybe Anthony was right and my wife would be find.After all, she was such a kind-hearted soul.Surely, God wouldn't turn away from her.
