Chapter 1037 - Wood, You Must Not Die!

At this time, the five people were scattered on both sides, and the situation was a mess.

As the car rushed towards Merry, Samuel, and Chris, a dark figure rushed out quickly, pushing the three of them by force.

The power was so great that they instantly staggered and fell down.

And the dark figure fell to the ground with a great thud.

Due to the speed of the car and the slippery ground, half of his body rolled onto the underside of the car.

As the crashing sound finished, the car hit the marble pillar uncontrollably, and it was all over.

After a brief silence, there was a hysterical scream in the lobby.

The unexpected car accident and the man being pinned under the car, instantly caused the other guests to flee in panic.

Merry never thought that he would have such a terrible accident.

And when she lifted her head in a daze, she caught a glimpse of Clifford under the car. "Wood…!"

The little girl screamed pitifully. Even though she stumbled, she continued to run and ignored her palms which were covered in shards of glass.

Even Anna, who had recovered, had a pale face. After walking two shaky steps, she then fell to the ground with her limp legs.

If Clifford had not caught her, she might have been run over to death.

By this time, Chris and Samuel were also on their feet, their cheeks filled with fear and horror.

Outside the door, a number of Hartanto family guards rushed in. The tragic accident left them astonished.

"Wood, wood…!"

A stuttering call came from the direction of the car.

Merry knelt on the ground, some bloodstains still hanging on her face. It was clear that the shards of glass had made some cuts on her face.

Her big eyes were full of horror as she looked at Clifford's legs that were sticking out under the car, and his left shoulder got punctured by a pole from the lobby's revolving door. 

It was so tragic, she had seen such a horrible sight before.

The enormous wound and impact knocked Clifford unconscious.

Merry trembled all over, and her fingertips lightly touched the man's shoulder, which continued to ooze blood.

"Wood, wood, open your eyes and look at me..."

She couldn't feel Clifford's breath, and even her tear-stained eyes couldn't see the ups and downs of his chest.

Frightened, she knelt beside him and continued to scream.

She didn't have time to pay attention to who had caused the accident, what broke her heart the most was Clifford being seriously injured.

He was her best friend, how could someone as good as him go through something like this.

"Wood, wake up..." Merry's little figure slowly lay in front of him, not daring to touch him or blink. The blood stains that flowed from the man's shoulders gradually gathered on the ground into a small pool.

She raised her hand in horror, seeing the sticky blood, and cried loudly.

"Wood, don't die please! I haven't taken you skiing in Switzerland yet! I said I'd take you skiing. Open your eyes and look at me..."

Not long after, Paul and Indra had rushed into the lobby.

The magnificent hotel's lobby had become a mess.

Merry's cries were pitiful, and Paul waved his hand to signal the guards to overcome the panic that occurred first.

Indra pushed him to the side of the vehicle that caused the accident, and when he lifted his eyes he saw Merry was right next to Clifford, crying profusely.

Paul couldn't stand the sight, he immediately consoled. "Daughter, calm down, the ambulance will be here soon!"

Merry turned her eyes to look at Paul. She immediately crawled into his wheelchair with sobs, and wept bitterly. "Uncle, you're a great person aren't you? You can definitely save him, right? He can't die, he got hit trying to save me. Uncle, please save him, please I beg you."

Paul reached out to stroke the top of Merry's head, and saw Clifford's figure under the car. "Don't worry, I will save him."

At this time, a hoarse and unpleasant laugh came from the car.

The laughter was strange, filled with pain, and seemed to be full of happiness.

The car's door opened, and with a loud laugh, Chris pulled the driver's hair and pulled her out.

The one driving the car was Emma.

She was still wearing that red dress, and her hair was very messy.

Due to the heavy impact of the car, her forehead was dripping with blood, and her whole body was in pain.

When Chris threw her hard on the ground, she still laughed. "Huahaha, that's the face I want to see, a life is exchanged for a life isn't it! But honey, why don't you all die like that trash? Merry, if you feel sad, just go with that trash to the bottom of hell!" 

At this time, when she heard Emma's words, the sad expression on Merry's face changed to one of surprise.

She staggered to her feet and walked towards the car to see Emma sitting on the ground with her back leaning and her face grinning.

Merry stopped sobbing, looked at Emma with blank eyes, and mumbled, "You ran him over..."

"Of course not!" Emma raised her head slightly, her eyes full of hatred. "Stupid brat, I didn't mean to run into him, I was going to run you over! Jade is already dying, as his older sister, shouldn't you pave the way for him first? Merry, you really are a lucky bastard! If it weren't for your bodyguards, you would definitely rot in hell tonight!" 

"You ran him over..."

Merry was still muttering over and over, her face was full of tears and blood, pale and fragile.

Just as Chris was about to step up and hug her, Merry suddenly looked like an angry little animal as she rushed to run towards Emma.

"You hurt him, why did you hurt him! You bastard, I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"

Merry never studied martial arts. At this moment, all of her kicks and punches were purely from her instincts.

Clifford's tragic situation stuck in her mind. She wanted to avenge him.

The angry little girl kicked and beat Emma indiscriminately.

But that's still not enough!

At this moment, Emma couldn't dodge Merry's punch due to her condition. But suddenly, she stood up from the ground and lifted her leg and was about to give a kick to Merry's lower abdomen.

Suddenly—

The sound of a gun being fired echoed in the lobby of this hotel.

"Argh!" Emma's swinging leg immediately fell.

Two shots quickly and accurately pierced the kneecap of her leg.

"Argh….!!!" The intense pain caused Emma to scream in surprise, and she lay on the ground rolling over in pain. "My leg... argh..."

Merry was stunned by the sound of gunfire, and the others looked around. Who fired the gun?

However, the scene was silent, as if everything just now was an illusion.

Only Chris, who looked at Paul with an angry expression, slowly turned his gaze downwards, and landed on his lap which was covered by a light blanket.

If he read it correctly, his father's hand hidden under the thin blanket was probably holding a gun.
