Chapter 350
"I won't let you hurt my best friend, you pervert!" Kate yelled. She sat on the man's back and stepped on his neck, pressing it hard until he couldn't do much. 1
Kate looked at Mai who was still breathing heavily while holding the kitchen knife and said, "What are you waiting for? Stab him!"
Mai looked down at the man under Mrs. Woods. She could've stabbed his neck, skull, or back repeatedly.
But she hesitated.
She remembered the man who had become a nightmare in her head and trembled in fear.
"Mai?"
"I—"Mai tried to muster her courage, but her nightmare consumed her. "I—I can't kill someone, Ma'am. I—"
Kate soon realized that Mai wasn't as cruel as she was. If Kate held the knife, she would stab this bastard's neck and kill him without hesitation.
But Mai was a good woman. She wasn't cruel even to this perverted bastard.
So Kate said, "Then stab his leg. We need to run away. The best we can do is to ensure he can't catch us anymore! Quick!"
Mai was more accepting of the new instruction. She nodded and stepped on the man's feet.
"You bitches! What are you going to do!" The man yelled. He tried to overpower Kate, who was sitting on his back, but Kate quickly pressed his neck further and inserted her fingers into the fresh stab wound on his back, making him wail in agony.
"Shut it, you asshole. This is what you get for attacking us," Kate said coldly.
Mai took a deep breath and stabbed the man's thighs and calves at least three times each.
She ignored the man's scream and kept stabbing until she made sure this man couldn't walk anymore.
She stabbed the man's thigh for the last time and left the knife stuck on it.
"I'm done, Ma'am!"
"Finally," Kate got up from the man's body. She checked all the stabs on the man's legs and nodded in approval, "You did great, Mai. Let's go!"
Mai and Kate walked past the man who could not chase them anymore, but the man didn't give up. He grabbed Kate's ankle and yelled, "YOU BITCHES WILL PAY FOR HURTING ME LIKE THIS!"
Kate looked down and stomped on the man's face a few times until the man was forced to let go.
"You should be grateful that I didn't kill you, you perverted bastard. I will tell my man about this and he will be the one who finish you off," Kate said coldly and spat on his face before leaving with Mai.
She grabbed her phone and wallet, and they left the apartment.
"Ma'am, we need to hurry! What if Marlon sent even more people to kidnap you!" Mai begged. She tried to pull Kate to run, but Kate was already at her limit.
She pushed her body to the brink of exhaustion after fighting against that intruder. If not for her desire to protect the baby in her stomach and to protect Mai, she would've been captured by now.
Kate's legs wobbled, and she fell, "I—I can't…" Kate muttered. "I'm too tired…"
"Oh no, Ma'am! Please, pull yourself together!" Mai begged. She tried to support Kate's body, but Mai was also wounded after getting punched in the stomach by that perverted bastard, so she had no more strength left to support another person.
"Mai, go… you should go now…" Kate said. She leaned on the wall in the corridor, trying to catch her breath while holding her stomach. "I can't go on anymore. I'm too exhausted."
"I'm not leaving without you, Ma'am!" Mai yelled desperately. "Michael is still fighting Marlon's goons down there. We should be able to hold hem off for a while since he is strong!
"Marlon will send another man to capture me, and I don't want you to get hurt. You shouldn't be involved."
"Ma'am, you are my best friend! You are the woman I admire and care for! I also promise Michael to save you!" Mai insisted. She tried to support Kate again but to no avail.
"You need to check on Michael and run away with him," Kate said. "He… he is also innocent. You two aren't supposed to be involved…"
Mai began to tear up, seeing Kate's condition. She looked worn and weak, yet she still covered her stomach to ensure her baby was safe.
She must've fought against that man for a while before Mai helped her.
"I won't leave you, Ma'am. If Marlon captures you, he will have to capture me too!" Mais said. She began to sob and hugged Kate's arm tightly, ready to sacrifice herself for her best friend.
Kate sensed that her consciousness slowly drifted away. She patted Mai's head gently and said, "You are a good girl, Mai. If I can request God to give me a better sister, I want you to be my little sister instead."
Mai's eyes were filled with tears. She lost her big sister to that bastard stepfather a decade ago, and when Kate said Mai was the little sister she wanted, it broke her heart to pieces.
Because now, she would lose her big sister again if Marlon captured her.
"Now go, don't mind me. I'm just going to… rest…" Kate said before she closed her eyes and lost consciousness.
Mai realized the hand that patted her head suddenly stopped. She checked on Kate and panicked, "Mrs. Woods? Ma'am? Kate?!"
Mai put her finger under Kate's nose and was relieved that Kate was at least breathing.
But this was also a sign that Kate was too exhausted and vulnerable. So she hugged Kate's arm tighter and vowed, "I will never leave you! I want you to be my sister as well! And I won't make the same mistake! I won't leave my sister alone!"
"If I die protecting my big sister, then so be it!" Mai yelled as a declaration, ready to protect Kate in case another of Marlon's men came in trying to take her.
