Chapter 546 DAD, CAN WE TALK?

Chapter 546 DAD, CAN WE TALK?　　Apple groaned in pain as she could hear the sound of her leg snapping and felt the pain run through her body. This is pain you could never imagine you could endure.

Apple felt all the air in her lungs being sucked out of her body and left her with only pain.

But when the man smiled sinisterly and lifted his leg, it was that moment Apple used to break free and crawl away from this madman.

This house was her, so it was certain that Apple was well aware of every piece of furniture that was in it and she knew very well where she could find weapons.

Freed, she then reached for the drawer under the bookshelf, which she remembered was the place where her father kept his tools.

There, from that last drawer, Apple pulled a screwdriver out and plunged it swiftly into the man's leg, before he could even realize what was really going on.

A rough, painful roar echoed through the study, bouncing off from the walls and making anyone who heard it shudder in fear.

In such a situation, Apple crawled away, as far out of the man's reach as possible.

She even had a chance to kick her assailant in the face as he tried to pull herself closer to him again.

"B*TCH!!!" the assailant roared in anger.

He then lowered his body and forcibly pulled out the screwdriver stuck in his leg, sending fresh blood spurting out immediately.

Out of the corner of her eye, Apple could see the blood running down the floor and this made her head feel a little dizzy. She hadn't seen that much blood in a long time.

With great difficulty, Apple tried to stand up, but her broken leg made her fall back to the floor.

"Damn!" Apple cursed under her breath, hissing in pain as the pain made her head spin. She had no idea what had happened to Jayden. Yes, she had killed one of the four men who had attacked him earlier, but three to one was certainly still not an ideal number.

And just at that moment, Apple's attacker got up and grabbed her leg again, knocking the girl's head on the table in the process and making her lose balance instantly.

"You think you can run from me!" cried the man angrily. He then tried to kill her by strangling her.

It wasn't his main mission to kill Pyro's daughter, but since she had stabbed him like that earlier, anger had blinded his eyes and the only thing he wanted was to hurt her even more.

"Die you little bitch!" he growled with rage.

Meanwhile, Apple felt like her head was going to burst, the pain in her chest from the loss of oxygen and the pain in her legs left her with no more strength to fight back.

This is it? Apple thought, as her consciousness began to fade, slipping from her grasp. She didn't have the strength to fight anymore.

This is it? Is this the end? If that's the case, it sucks. Apple never thought she would die like this.

And that's when Apple heard the sound of gunshots and the weight that was pressing on her body instantly disappeared.

Then she heard gunshots again and again and again…

The shooter fired at least five rounds and only when there were no more rounds left did she stop and go over to Apple.

"Apple…" Jayden's music-like voice sounded so sweet to her ears that Apple forced herself to open her eyes.

She could see Jayden was looking at her with worried eyes. There were a few scars on his face and hands, but other than that, he was fine. She is grateful…

"Don't move your head," Jayden muttered, he didn't dare move Apple because he was afraid it would make the wound worse. "An ambulance is on its way here."

Apple could only mumble incoherent words before she closed her eyes again. The pain had now turned numb and there was nothing else she wanted to do but close her eyes and sleep for a while.

========================= 

Hailee and Ramon came to the hospital as soon as they both heard what had happened at Pyro's house.

He found their son sitting beside Apple's bed, while Pyro was still under intensive care.

"How is she?" Hailee asked carefully, as she sat down next to her son. Hailee noticed Jayden's injuries and was able to breathe a little easier when she saw that there were no serious injuries.

"A few fractures and bruises, but she'll be fine," Jayden said in a slightly hoarse, deep voice.

Just from the tone of his voice, Hailee could tell that her son was holding back his anger. He looked calm when emotions were taking over him. Just like Ramon did.

Hailee then turned her attention to Apple, who was still lying unconscious with a brace around her neck and an oxygen tube to her nose.

There were several cuts and bruises on her face and hands.

"Everything will be alright," Hailee said reassuringly, because that was all she could offer at the moment, and Jayden just nodded in response.

For a moment, there was silence over them until Jayden turned and looked at his mother for the first time.

"Can I leave Apple with you for a moment?" he asked. "I want to talk to dad for a bit."

"Of course." Hailee assured him. She rubbed Jayden's back. "Go."

Right now, Jayden needed his father more to channel his anger.

After that, Jayden stood up and walked over to Ramon, who was standing not far from them, he wasn't anywhere near the three of them because he knew what he would see now could only make him angry.

"Dad, can we talk for a moment?" Jayden walked over to Ramon and the two of them walked out of the hospital ward to the balcony.

There were at least six people manning the door to Apple's room and six others near Pyro's, and a dozen more standing guard around this hospital.
