And they are actually trotting hand in hand!<\/p>\n<p>Didn&#8217;t Terence want to kill Hilda? So, is it going to end like this?<\/p>\n<p>This scene actually comes as a shock. I fix my blank eyes on Terence, lost for words for a long while.<\/p>\n<p>However, he turns to Hilda and tightens his grip.<\/p>\n<p>What fills his eyes is only affection.<\/p>\n<p>Now I finally realize even the deepest hatred is not comparable with his love to Hilda.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know what tricks Hilda used to turn the tables.<\/p>\n<p>This time, Terence definitely won&#8217;t go against Hilda.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t dare to imagine what terrible trick will strike me if Hilda survives.<\/p>\n<p>If she knows I had joined forces with Terence to kill her, she definitely won&#8217;t let me off.<\/p>\n<p>But something worse arises.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, Hilda wrenches free of Terence&#8217;s touch, picks up a wooden stick, then strikes his legs with might. Immediately after, she snatches the remote control and shuts the door after pushing Terence inside.<\/p>\n<p>All of these happen within two seconds. She makes it in one go, leaving us no time to react.<\/p>\n<p>By the time I regain my senses, Hilda had pulled Frances away in a hurry.<\/p>\n<p>Before she leaves, I see her detonate the bomb.<\/p>\n<p>Hilda is so ruthless!<\/p>\n<p>Inside the door, Terence is shouting in desperation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hilda!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I have the intention to save him, but I can only give up.<\/p>\n<p>I set my teeth and then run after Hilda and Frances.<\/p>\n<p>The bomb has already detonated. If I don&#8217;t leave now, I will only die here with Terence.<\/p>\n<p>In spite of my sympathy for Terence and worries over Hilda&#8217;s following traps, the most important thing for me now is to survive.<\/p>\n<p>Hilda is running ahead.<\/p>\n<p>And she is sobbing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frances, I&#8217;m so scared. I almost died. Terence is actually alive, but why did he want to kill me? I&#8217;m so scared. Am I killing him? Will I be imprisoned? But you know, if I don&#8217;t do that, I will die.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, she is acting.<\/p>\n<p>Will Hilda kill me from irk?<\/p>\n<p>She even has the heart to kill her beloved ex-husband twice. As for me, she must show no mercy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I were not that clever, I might have died. Jane, you are quite bold. You actually dare to join forces with Terence to kill me. Aren&#8217;t you afraid that Frances will avenge on you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Is it Frances that will avenge on me? Or it is Hilda?<\/p>\n<p>I stand there, fearing to the bone. Inside my head, all is numb.<\/p>\n<p>Frances is there with his face void of emotion. He&#8217;s always like that.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that he will only be anxious when it comes to Hilda.<\/p>\n<p>As for me, nothing can interest him.<\/p>\n<p>A wry smirk lifts a corner of my lips. Then, I turn to Hilda.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Anyway, I&#8217;ve done it. Kill me at your will.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kill you? Why will I kill you? I don&#8217;t run amok. How can I be so envious?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A mix of shock and innocence touches her look. It is as if I have said something unbelievable.<\/p>\n<p>If I&#8217;m unaware of her true identity, I&#8217;ll probably be shanghaied again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-572","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/572","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
