Chapter 558 Take The Bullet

Melissa was at a loss. “Mom, I don’t know what I’m doing here…”

“Stop what you’re doing right now.” Yvonne could tell Melissa was not in the right state of mind. She immediately consoled her daughter. “Don’t worry. I’m here to take care of everything. You’re my only daughter, and I’ll do anything to protect you.”

“Okay, Mom. I’ll listen to you.”

“I’m coming now. I’m coming to take you home.”

After ending the call, Melissa lowered her head as she did not know what to do now.

“Hey, Melissa. Could you give Sophia back to me?” Natalie approached her calmly. “Everything that has happened is just a nightmare. Things will get better once the nightmare is over.”

At first, Melissa clenched her fists and shook her head. A few seconds later, she changed her mind and nodded. “I didn’t kidnap Sophia. You can take her away.”

“Okay. I’ll carry her.”

Natalie licked her dry lips and gradually walked up to Sophia.

Before coming to the warehouse, Natalie had suspected that Melissa was the one who had made the call.

She took a gamble and assumed the caller was Melissa.

That was why she ordered Yandel to look for Yvonne so that she could call Melissa to stop her.

Thankfully, Natalie’s plan worked. Otherwise, both she and Sophia would be in danger.

Just when Natalie was about to pick Sophia up from the floor, one of the subordinates started threatening Melissa. “You’re gonna die if you stop what you’re doing.”

His threat seemed to have triggered Melissa. She started mumbling, “Yes. I’m the mastermind! The Bowers family will not let me off easily, and there’s nothing my mom could do to save me!”

Upon noticing the turn of events, Natalie immediately carried Sophia in her arms and ran toward the exit of the warehouse.

I must protect Sophia at all costs! She mustn’t get hurt!

Losing her twins five years ago was her biggest regret in life.

Natalie would not allow anyone to hurt Sophia, as she loved this little girl as much as she loved Xavian and Clayton.

After closing the door, she knocked over an empty oil drum to buy herself some time.

Suddenly, someone appeared out of nowhere and grabbed her hand.

Natalie was startled. “Who are you?”

“It’s me.”

The man who held her hand was Christopher, whom she had not met for a long time.

“Christopher? What are you doing here?”

“That’s not important.” Christopher said in a calm voice. “Let’s get out of here as soon as possible.”

Meanwhile, Melissa instructed two subordinates to go after Natalie. One of them followed right behind Natalie and Christopher, while the other person took out a Browning handgun and aimed it at Sophia’s head.

The man was an assassin, and his mission tonight was to end the child’s life.

He had been on standby for quite some time now, but no one gave him the order to shoot the child. Upon realizing a signal loss in the communication device, he decided to take matters into his own hands.

It was the best time to get rid of the child.

Natalie soon noticed a red laser dot on Sophia’s head. She instantly understood what it was all about and became alert.

Natalie stood in front of the red dot and kept her eyes shut, waiting for the bullet to hit her body.

A loud gunshot filled the air when the assassin fired a shot in her direction.

Natalie did not feel any pain but heard a groan from her back.

She turned around and saw Christopher’s chest bleeding as he was hit by the bullet.

“Christopher!”

“Don’t worry, I’m here to protect you.” The color drained out of Christopher’s face. “I’ll not let anything bad happen to you.”

“You…”

“You want to call me crazy?” Christopher was losing his balance and gave her a weak smile. “Yes. I’ve been crazy since the day you gave me hope!”

The assassin immediately fired another shot when he realized he missed his target.

“No! Stop!” Natalie shrieked.

Christopher continued to stand in front of them like a sturdy rock, protecting Natalie and Sophia from the oncoming bullet.
