Female Novel
Chapter 1110
Carol's heart skipped a beat in excitement, and she decided to put in a good word for this man once
she found Maja.
"Mr. Zack, listen to him."
Cars at the scene immediately pursued the suspicious vehicle, including Ian's, where Carol was a
passenger.
"Mr. Raymond, do you think there's something fishy about that car?"
Ian remained silent. From a distance, he had only caught a glimpse of half of the man's face.
It was strikingly similar to a face from his past.
His grip tightened on the steering wheel as he floored the accelerator.
Meanwhile, Patric noticed in his rearview mirror the cars chasing him and clicked his tongue.
"We've caught some attention. Looks like we won't be leaving the country tonight. Shake them off and
get a decoy here."
The man in the passenger seat stepped on the gas while dialing a number.
Maja's eyes sparkled at the sound of this.
Patric glanced at her and smirked.
"Ian's car seems to be among the ones following us. But is he coming for you to bring you back for trial,
or is he here because he cares about you? After all, he did promise Judith he would think about her.
Most likely, he's here to bring you back for trial. You were involved in Holden's death, and he won't let
that slide."
Maja remained silent, brushing his words off as nonsense.
After a considerable distance, Patric seemed to lose his sanity, instructing the front seat.
"Hit a random car."
The front seat nodded and crashed into a random car, causing a series of accidents behind.
The car they hit was an innocent victim, flipping over and sliding several feet away.
Maja turned back and saw the horrifying scene, cars piled up, people being helped out covered in
blood.
Patric was the devil!
He chuckled, the corners of his mouth curling up in satisfaction, especially at the sight of Maja's
horrified expression. His heart felt as fizzy as a freshly opened soda.
Ian and the other cars were stuck at the accident site, but a helicopter soon arrived, dropping a rope
ladder without wasting any time.novelbin
Carol intended to go with them, but Ian left her with, "I've sent others to intercept them. They'll have the
car stopped soon. You run ahead, then catch a ride to join us."
It was too dangerous to let a woman climb a rope ladder.
Carol nodded, disregarding the car accident, and started running.
Meanwhile, several helicopters were on the tail of the suspicious car. Eyewitnesses thought it was the
police in action.
But it was just Ian's forces.
A car could never outrun a helicopter.
Patric's expression darkened. His helicopter was waiting ahead, but Ian had the home-field advantage.
Going head-on, Patric knew he would lose.
He grabbed Maja and roughly wiped her face with his sleeve, removing the deliberately applied
makeup and revealing her pale face.
She glared at Patric, defiance in her eyes.
Patric studied her face carefully only to hear, "Patric."
The next moment, he felt an excruciating headache. Eric was trying to take control.
In his mind, Eric spoke.
"They'll send people, too. Your chip is important. You've been appearing too frequently. Some have
realized Eric is still alive. You'll become a target."
Patric's head throbbed. He refused to let Eric take over, so he grabbed Maja's throat.
Eric stopped struggling but continued to warn him.
"Keeping Maja with you will only put her in more danger. Those above will do anything to get the chip.
Patric, that chip is an important weapon for many countries. It contains successful data from millions of
experiments. Even now, the researchers at the base can't recover the data. It's one of a kind."
Patric raised an eyebrow, still holding onto Maja's throat but with less force.
Maja had no strength left to cough. She felt so insignificant at that moment.
Her eyes were still firm but filled with hatred.
Patric let go of her fragile neck and, after what felt like forever, pulled Maja into his arms.
It wasn't an embrace of pity but more like how one would hold a pet.
But Maja was never a pet.
She bit into Patric's arm.
She was weak, and her bite wasn't strong. To Patric, it felt like a tickle.
He pushed her away, noticing the bite mark on his arm, but there was no blood.
A strange feeling swept over him.
Taking advantage of his momentary bewilderment, Eric's consciousness took over.
He opened the car window the next moment, giving Maja one last look.
Maja was startled. That look filled with so many emotions.
Regret, conflict, pain, relief.
Her throat felt clogged, and she couldn't utter a word, only a meaningless syllable.
But Eric was already falling backward, facing her.
