Chapter 391 Obey? Or Die Together?

He wanted to ask more, but I hastily hung up the phone and turned to leave the old house.

I returned to the Conner's place, ready to change clothes. If I appeared in front of him like this, he would worry.

The Conner's place.

I hadn't even entered the yard when I saw my mother and Alexander hurriedly driving away in the distance. Seeing their anxiousness, I ran after them, wanting to ask what had happened. But their car was too fast, they didn't give me a chance to speak at all, and they were soon far away.

Seeing this, I had no choice but to go home and change my clothes first. The most urgent task was to go to the hospital and meet with Walter, to tell him about the death of Captain Lucas and the matter of Ezra.

Barely having time to catch my breath, I hurriedly arrived at the hospital.

Just as I entered the hospital building, my phone rang. I thought it was Walter calling, and I barely had time to glance at the caller ID before I slid to answer. I said into the phone, "I'm at the bottom of the hospital building."

"Tabatha, it's me!" The familiar tone instantly made my scalp tingle. If it weren't for the people around me, I might have thrown my phone away in a breakdown.

Forcing myself to calm down, I said into the phone, “Daniel."

A faint laughter, almost imperceptible, drifted from afar, "It's me."

Suppressing the boundless fear in my heart, I tried my best to act as if nothing had happened and asked, "What...what do you want from me?"

There was no sound on the other end of the phone, but the voice that terrified me came from behind me, "Nothing's wrong, I just wanted to see you."

"Bang!" I ultimately couldn't control it, the phone suddenly slipped, falling to the ground and shattering into pieces.

I didn't dare to turn back, nor to run. I crouched down, almost trembling, to blindly grab my phone which had shattered into pieces.

The next second, my hand was held down, a tall figure stood in front of me. Instinctively, I tried to pull my hand back, but it was of no use.

I knew I was being watched and scrutinized by him at that moment, but fear prevented me from meeting his gaze. Even in my heart, I secretly hoped that he and Ezra were not the same person, they were just somewhat related.

"Are you afraid of me?" A man's voice came from above. My chin turned cold as the man slowly lifted it, forcing me to meet his gaze. Looking at the face in front of me that was completely different from Ezra's, I felt a suffocating tightness in my chest, "No, no...yes."

I opened my mouth, looking at his face, an indescribable feeling surging within me.

His thin lips lifted in a smile, his eyes and brows expressing a light amusement. A simple expression, yet so stunning it was dazzling.

He pulled me up, his hand gripping mine tightly Looking at me, he spoke, "Tabatha, what are you thinking?"

I pursed my lips, remaining silent. I knew that as long as I asked if he was Ezra, everything would become clear. But, if I confronted him now, would he let me walk away so easily? Captain Lucas was already dead.

Next, perhaps it was my turn.

How would he kill me?

This was a hospital. If I had screamed for help or asked for assistance at that time, would there have been a glimmer of hope?

"Let's go, it's not auspicious to be in the hospital on New Year's Eve." He spoke, his large hand wrapping around my waist, leading me towards the exit of the hospital. I stopped, unmoving. Watching him, she was calculating self-rescue in her mind.

He seemed to see through my thoughts, suddenly laughed, half-closed his attractive eyes, and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you die."

I froze, this statement explained everything, I didn't even need to ask him who he was, he was Ezra!

"Help...uh!" Almost instantly, my mouth was covered before I had the chance to make a sound.

He held me tightly in his arms, his voice low and icy, "Tabatha, if you want to drag everyone down with you, then go ahead and scream. After all, in my eyes, these people's lives are no more than ants."

I saw it, not far away, the timer in Sebastian's hand. My heart suddenly skipped a beat, and two words instinctively popped into my mind, bomb!

I looked at him in disbelief, how could he dare?

Seeing me glare at him, he didn't care, instead he looked at me and said, "Made your choice? Behave nicely? Or die together?"

In the end, I just couldn't be as crazy as he was.

So, it fell silent!

Seeing that I had calmed down, he let go of me, but his large hand was

still tightly wrapped around my waist. He glanced at me and mocked, "Want to see Walter?"

I remained silent.

He smirked coldly, then grabbed my waist and led me into the hospital elevator. I didn't know what he was up to, so I struggled a bit and frowned at him, "What are you trying to do?"

The elevator doors closed, he glanced at me, his voice cold, "Didn't you want to see him? I'll take you. Let's see what the person you've been longing for is doing right now."
