Chapter 1059

Chapter 1059 Not a Man

Narissa's opponents were heavily armed and they used that to their advantage, leaving her with noroom to do anything other than dodge behind the racks and shelves as she tailed them from adistance.

"Trying to get away? You won't be escaping that easily!"

They had reached the exit and were about to get into the vehicle that was waiting for them, soNarissa couldn't hesitate any longer. She picked up a brick and threw it at the person who was firingthe most bullets at her.

He was hit in the head and fell unconscious at once. Narissa rushed out and rolled on the ground tograb the gun before firing shot after shot at Stenson's car.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bullets made contact with the car. She was completely focused on firing at the car that shedidn't notice someone aiming a gun at her from behind.

"Damn it! It's bulletproof glass!"

Narissa didn't think that Stenson would be as vigilant as he was. Even after she had emptied thegun's barrel, the car was merely dented.

She watched in frustration as the car sped off and threw the gun on the ground with so much forcethat it was half-buried.

Just then, a gunshot rang out behind her.

Bang!

The moment Narissa heard the sound, she felt a bullet whizzing past her right ear.

At the very next second, the bullet shot through the tree in front of her, leaving behind a gapinghole.

That was so close!

Thank goodness he missed, or else, it'd be my head that was sporting that hole now.

Narissa exhaled in relief and turned around to replace that the shooter was less than fifteen feet awayfrom her. He was clutching his hand and writhing around on the ground in pain.

However, before she could get any closer to check on him, a silver needle came flying in the air toend that man's misery.

Narissa looked in the direction where the needle had come from and saw Zephyr jumping downfrom a tree.

Evidently, she would've been dead by now if he hadn't injured that man's hand.

Despite their mutual dislike for one another, she kept ending up indebted to him.

Under such dangerous and pressing circumstances, neither one of them was in the mood to argue.They simply nodded in greeting.

"El wasn't in the car with them so she must still be in the dugout!" Narissa filled Zephyr in before thetwo of them went back inside.

After searching all the rooms and seeing no sign of Elise, Narissa went back to the first room.Zephyr was kneeling by the pool of blood and scraping some of it up with a strip of card.

"So? Did you replace anything?" Narissa asked impatiently when she saw how calm he was

At times like these, she had to admit that the wheels in Zephyr's mind spun faster than hers did."He won't be a dirtbag then. He'd be a sewer rat," Zephyr joked.

As soon as he spoke, a strange sound filled the air.

Beep, beep, beep.

It kept getting louder as it echoed inside the dugout.

Zephyr had a bad feeling about this. He grabbed Narissa's hand and started running. "Run! They'regoing to blow the place up!"

Narissa instinctively flung his hand off and the two of them separated. They kept the same pace atfirst, but as the path to the exit got narrower, Zephyr soon fell behind.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

They could already see the light coming in from the entrance to the dugout when a series ofexplosions broke out inside the dugout, sending clouds of smoke and fragments outward.

Narissa was the first to make it out of the dugout. She saw the murky cloud gaining on Zephyr, soshe bided her time and just as he took a step out of the dugout, she charged toward him. They bothfell to the right of the entrance and managed to avoid the cloud of smoke and debris from theexplosion, though they were still covered in dust.

All was quiet again, and when Zephyr finally regained his senses, his expression was stiff. Narissawas lying on top of him and his face was right in front of her chest. He could see the curves thatwere just barely hidden by her top, and he flushed red

"Cough—"

Narissa coughed and cleared her throat. When she finally came back to her senses, she noticedZephyr's gaze and narrowed her eyes dangerously. "Harboring such sleazy thoughts at a time likethis? A loser's a loser, alright.”

She climbed off him.

Zephyr stood up and dusted himself off as he lied and said, "Who said I was having sleazythoughts? I was feeling awkward on your behalf. You keep trying to stand in front of others toprotect them instead. You don't let anyone else protect you. Who else would get injured, if not you?You should learn to rely on others too. No one would laugh at you for doing so.”

Narissa kept acting as if everything was fine after seeing what Alicia and Jamie had done together,but Zephyr was worried to see someone who was usually so loud and excitable be this quiet. Hedidn't want her to explode from keeping everything bottled up inside.

After all, he was a doctor. It was his duty to save people. Even though they didn't get along, hecouldn't pretend as if nothing happened.

Narissa picked up on the implications in Zephyr's words and she scuttled a little further away fromhim. "Just come out and say whatever you want to say. Don't beat around the bush.”

The moment she finished speaking, Jamie arrived at the dugout in his car.

He leaped out of the car and rushed over to check on Narissa. "I heard the explosions from the footof the mountain. Are you alright?"

"I'm great,” Narissa replied curtly before walking off.

Jamie stood forlornly without moving. He felt as if he was an abandoned pet who no longer had ahome.

"Doc," he mumbled somewhat to himself. "I think I made a grave mistake. What do you think Ishould do to get Narissa's forgiveness?"

"I'm a doctor, not a relationship expert. You should be asking yourself that question. However, Ithink a guy who lets his woman get hurt and upset doesn't deserve to call himself a man.”

For once, Zephyr didn't joke around with Jamie. He simply said his piece and walked off.

Jamie sighed. He looked haggard and deflated. It was as if his soul had been sucked out of him.Soon, Danny arrived as well and everyone gathered at a river near the foot of the mountain.

"I don't think EI's in any danger right now, but they've taken her somewhere else and we still needto replace out where," Narissa said.

Now that they knew Stenson was behind this, they weren't as worried anymore.

Stenson was all bark and no bite. He wouldn't dare to hurt Elise.

Danny nodded. "The Hellens' territory isn't all that big. I'm sure we can replace her if we search throughall of Wegas. Zephyr, how's my brother doing?"

"Not good," Zephyr replied. "The poison in him is a slow-moving one that's hard to deal with. Icame here to see whether there were any medicinal herbs that I could use."

"Thanks for all your efforts. Keep his condition a secret from the kids for now. As for Elise's situation,you can be honest with them. The kids are old enough now. They need to learn to be strong. Letthem slowly get used to these kinds of situations.”

After a short meeting, everyone left to begin their search for Elise once more.
