Chapter 42: Narrowly escaped the hands of death
The afternoon sunlight penetrated through the foliage, shining directly on Samson’s face, making him extremely uncomfortable even though he carefully covered his body.
On his wrist was a piece of cotton soaked in blood and a small ice cube. That red liquid spread to the dark sun protection shirt.
Because he had no experience in drawing blood himself, he inserted the needle incorrectly, leading to a broken vein.
Although Samson can use his ability to heal himself, he does not know how long he will be following Lucasta and whether any unexpected incidents will occur.
Therefore, he did not dare to waste his energy because he had removed a significant amount of blood from his body and he had to use ice to help the blood clot.
The bus stopped at the bus stop, picked up the vampire passenger, then left the sidewalk and headed toward the city center.
Experiencing the feeling of traveling by public transportation for the first time made Samson feel a little excited, no wonder Lucasta didn’t want Harvey to pick her up.
When Samson arrived at the company gate, the clock had just struck five o’clock in the afternoon. He quickly walked to a nearby tree and observed.
His heart felt a bit uneasy when he saw a group of police officers standing not far from him. It looked like they had just finished dealing with a traffic accident.
– Okay, everyone go back to the police station. I’ll go buy some fast food for you guys and come back later. Michael raised his hand to signal his teammates to disperse.
Although there were no casualties in the accident, the vehicles were seriously damaged.
Therefore, Michael and his colleagues had to mediate with the parties so that they could come to a compensation agreement in the gentlest way because the person who caused the accident was in an extremely difficult situation. His family is poor, his mother is old, his wife is sick and his children are mentally ill.
Although this issue belongs to the traffic police’s jurisdiction, because security forces are coordinating the task of checking suspects nationwide, Michael can still participate.
Michael is an excellent police officer and the son of the late chief of the police department, joining the ranks of the judiciary for just two years.
However, his achievements are extremely admirable as he was the first to successfully destroy the largest arms smuggling ring in the past twenty years.
Furthermore, he was the one who led the team to successfully rescue the former prime minister when he was kidnapped by a group of agitators.
Just as Michael was about to get in the car, he suddenly recognized a very familiar face.
Her lovely chubby figure, natural blonde hair, and that mouth that always looks like it’s about to smile are unmistakable.
But, didn’t she go missing ten years ago?
Two years since the tragic accident occurred, the police have fully applied notification and search measures according to the provisions of civil procedure law.
However, there is still no accurate information about whether the girl is alive or dead.
According to the court ruling, all of her parents’ enormous assets were transferred to her uncle to manage.
If she had returned, he should have reported to the authorities to cancel the missing declaration and at the same time transfer her assets.
– Could it be that there is someone like her? No. It’s definitely her. The girl likes the sunshine I met twelve years ago.
Michael whispered to himself and climbed into the car to sit. He wanted to follow Lucasta to see where she was now and with whom, then confirm her identity.
After a day of work but with her mind set on the stray cats, Lucasta was really tired, sad, and worried.
At this moment, she felt sad because Samson was not by her side. She didn’t think anything until the end of the day when she suddenly realized she had narrowly escaped death.
Samson told her to wash her hands, which showed that he knew she had taken the poisoned cake, but why didn’t he come pick her up?
As for Harvey, today he refused to take her home even though she said she would stay at the company and wait for him to finish work.
– I hate Samson. I hate Harvey. I hate you two. You two are not worried about me at all.
Lucasta was grumbling when a middle-aged woman hobbled next to her. Next to the woman was a boy about seven or eight years old.
Lucasta realized that the woman’s shoelace had slipped so she opened her mouth to remind her. However, the woman saw this before Lucasta, so she pushed the boy forward and spoke up.
– Little girl, please look after the boy for a moment while I tie my shoelaces. The boy’s mind is not normal, often running around.
Lucasta happily nodded and took the boy’s hand. She accidentally killed the cats, so she regretted it so much that she didn’t dare let go of the boy, but kept holding his hand tightly, afraid that the boy would run into the street.
However, why did she hear this woman’s voice familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before?
After a long time of groping, the woman also looked up, said thank you, and pulled the boy to her side.
However, when she saw the crowded afternoon traffic, she hesitated and did not dare to lift her foot.
Lucasta quickly realized the problem and offered to help. A boy with mental problems and a disabled woman will have a hard time crossing the street during rush hour.
– The bus will arrive in five minutes. I will take you and this boy across the street.
– That’s great, thank you, girl.
Lucasta held the boy’s hand with one hand, raised her other hand as a sign to cross the street, and gradually led the two of them to the opposite side.
Although Samson knew that Lucasta had a kind personality, he felt extremely uncomfortable with this action because this was the time when she needed to be careful in all situations.
According to Harvey, she knew that someone was deliberately selling poisoned cakes to her, but Samson did not expect that she would have no precautions toward strangers.
– Thank you, girl, you will definitely encounter many good things thanks to this honest heart. The woman smiled brightly and spoke as soon as they touched the curb.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
– Nothing.
After bowing in response, Lucasta turned around and returned to the bus stop.
The traffic was still moving very slowly when they saw the girl raising her hand to ask to cross the street.
Taking advantage of the vehicle owners waving their hands to signal, she hurriedly walked quickly without realizing that one of them was pressing the accelerator pedal, accelerating towards her.
– Ah… ah… ah…
The screams of the passersby mixed with Lucasta’s scream of terror when she realized the danger was coming.
There was no time for her to avoid it, she could only hug her face and accept to follow death.
In a moment of emptiness, Lucasta felt a familiar warmth enveloping her body. This gentle scent could only be found on her brother’s body even though he had never used perfume.
– It’s me, open your eyes, Lucasta. Samson gradually loosened his grip and called softly.
Lucasta’s head still did not leave his chest. She still couldn’t calm down, her eyes were closed and her shoulders were shaking with sobs.
Knowing that she was mentally panicking, he once again hugged her tightly and looked around, trying to find that woman but it was completely hopeless.
If there wasn’t an incident of putting poison in the cake, he would have assumed that this was a sudden, unintentional accident.
Finally, his eyes stopped on the mess created by the crazy car.
Although he did not hit Lucasta, at that terrible speed, the driver lost control and crashed into other cars before climbing onto the median and stuck on it.
On the other side of the road, Michael quickly got out of the car after a moment of shock and ran quickly to the scene of the accident.
Samson’s speed was so fast that it was beyond the imagination of Michael and those present at the scene, causing all attention to focus on the couple hugging each other, forgetting the driver who needed help.
At this time, the last sunlight of the day had just disappeared because the large black clouds rising behind the tall buildings had completely obscured it.
The air gradually cooled down, making Lucasta feel very cold when the wind suddenly hit her.
– I… I’m so scared, someone is trying to kill me. She cried as she opened her eyes and looked up.
– It’s okay, I will protect you. Before I die, I will not let anyone harm you. Be good, don’t cry anymore.
After quickly wiping away the tears on her chubby face, he immediately took her next to the crazy car to see who the villain was.
There was nothing blocking the view, so there was no reason the driver couldn’t see her when other cars simultaneously slowed down and gave way.
– Let me.
Samson let go of Lucasta’s hand and helped Michael remove the car door because it was stuck and distorted.
Michael had tried pulling the car door twice before and realized he needed an assistive device, so he was extremely surprised to see that this guy could easily make the car door fall off with just one hand.
– He died. Michael spoke up after a few minutes of checking the driver’s body.
Next, he took out his phone and called the police station, asking his teammates to send a crane to assist so that traffic would not be congested.
The only clue was interrupted, making Samson extremely disappointed, he could only turn his head to look at his sister in regret.
– Can you show me your face? Sorry for this rude suggestion but…
Before Michael could finish his sentence, Samson took off his glasses, mask, and hood, revealing an extremely handsome face that made everyone admire him.
Somewhere in the crowd, someone said he was very suitable to play the role of a vampire in the second part of the recently released movie.
The content of second part of the movie is about the life of a young vampire born from a human mother.
– Your eyes…
– My brother wears colored contact lenses, I bought them for him and wanted him to wear them to follow current fashion trends. Lucasta quickly stepped up and interrupted the police officer.
This is the current trend and no one is surprised to see boys and girls appearing on the street with multicolored eyes, but because Samson’s speed and strength are so different from normal people, Michael feels suspicious.
But thinking about it again, he thought he was thinking too much because next to this man was a weak girl.
If Samson was really a vampire, perhaps this girl would have been sucked dry long ago, she wouldn’t be as round as a ball like this. Furthermore, she even called him brother.
– You two are brother and sister, right?
– Right. Don’t you see that we are equally beautiful? Lucasta quickly answered the policeman’s question.
A little warmth crept into Samson’s heart. He felt like this younger sister was trying to protect him.
As for Lucasta, she simply wanted to prove to everyone that he belonged to her because the admiring eyes of the surrounding girls staring at him made her uncomfortable.
