Chapter 285
Everything went smoothly after that, with two cops escorting Lillian to the hospital. The handcuffs still clung to Lillian’s wrists, while Cameron followed closely in the squad car.
This was a first for Cameron too, but there was no room for second thoughts now. He had already bent too many rules for Lillian; one more wouldn’t matter.
The police cruiser glided through the quiet streets, the accompanying officers on high alert. scanning the area to ensure there were no surprises, but what they didn’t anticipate was that the moment Cameron had stepped out of the precinct, he had already arranged for his people to be waiting right here. This was the perfect opportunity to whisk Lillian away.
As they rounded a corner, Cameron’s crew came barreling towards them in their vehicle. The two cops in the car were just about to react when Cameron sprang into action.
In a blur, the officers were subdued, and Cameron seized his chance, taking control of the wheel.
The cruiser eased to a stop by the roadside, and the car Cameron had arranged pulled up alongside.
Cameron leaned over the subdued officers to fish out the keys and unlock the cuffs from Lillian’s wrists, his voice filled with caution. “Lillian, I need to stay and handle these two. Remember what I told you, don’t do anything rash.”
A twisted smile played at the corner of Lillian’s mouth, her eyes brimming with barely contained madness. Her fingers were gone, and the Haywood family was on the brink. How could she not lash out?
She was determined to drag her cursed life out long enough to make Brielle regret ever crossing her.
While she harbored these thoughts, her lips formed a different message. “I got it.”
Her voice was soft, belying the vicious plans for dismantling Brielle piece by piece that churned in her mind.
Once she was seated in the car Cameron had arranged, Lillian intended to head straight for the hospital where Brielle was. However, the others in the car, following Cameron’s stern
instructions, were not to let Lillian anywhere near Brielle’s hospital. So, the car initially drove in the opposite direction of the hospital.
As soon as they were out of Cameron’s sight. Lillian’s face cracked into a maniacal grin. “You guys know where Brielle is, right?”
The two glanced at each other, neither daring to speak.
Lillian suddenly yanked the steering wheel, her expression contorted, “If you don’t take me to Brielle’s hospital, I’ll just crash into the next car I see, and we can all die together.”
Chapter 285
She was extreme, like a vengeful spirit escaped from the depths of hell. The two men had wanted to ignore her, but her strength was immense, and she was now tampering with the
accelerator.
The car surged towards a tanker truck. If it hit, both vehicles would explode, and indeed they’d
all die right there.
These two men didn’t want to die. “Miss Lillian, please, don’t do anything hasty! I know where Brielle is! I know!” one of them blurted out.
Hearing this, the ferocity in Lillian’s eyes intensified, “Good, take me there.”
No one dared to defy her. She was like a madwoman.
Brielle had no idea that danger was drawing near, nor did she know the depths to which Lillian had been pushed. A woman who had lost three fingers could disregard everything.
Evening was setting in, and the hospital corridors grew quiet. A woman dressed in a long coat. wearing a brown hat, entered the hallway. She moved slowly toward the room where Brielle lay. There were two doctors on duty outside the room, aware of a message that this patient was of particular importance and that her safety was to be ensured at all costs. So when they saw the unfamiliar woman approaching, they stopped her, “May I ask who you are?”
Her voice was hoarse, and her hand, hanging at her side, was wrapped in a bandage stained with spots of blood. “I’m Brielle’s sister. I’ve come to see her.”
When she confidently mentioned Brielle’s name, the doctors didn’t question further. They knew. that come nightfall, the man from the previous evening would arrive in person, discreetly checking in. His status was even more prestigious, and they had been instructed to station. extra medical staff by the room’s entrance to prevent any mishaps.
Since the visitor claimed to be a relative, they assumed there was no danger. Thus, the doctors allowed her to pass, with a warning not to stay too long.
