Chapter 158 Escape At Night
Chapter 158 Escape At Night
Woolf was dragged away from Rachel's body before being repeatedly beaten on the face.
"Hiram! Is that you?" Rachel was frightened to death. She couldn't see the man's face clearly but she
guessed that it was Hiram, since he had a similar body shape.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not Hiram."
Daniel grabbed a chair and smashed it onto Woolf's head. Seeing Woolf faint, he turned to Rachel and
smiled.
"Daniel?" Rachel stared incredulously at his face, which was more beautiful than a woman's. The stud
on his ear sparkled, reflecting the moonlight.
Although he was usually frivolous, at this moment, Rachel thought he was an angel.
She looked at him gratefully.
"Why don't you come with me? Or do you want to continue staying here?" Daniel asked teasingly,
reaching his hand out to her.
Rachel walked on the ground with her bare feet without even trying to find her shoes.
Since she had been wearing high heels when she came here, there was no point in looking for them.
They would only slow her down.
As if reading her mind, Daniel took out a plastic bag from his pocket, and inside, there was a pair of
cotton shoes, the kind that only existed in rural areas. He crouched down and put them on for her. "I
didn't know your size, so I just bought a medium-sized pair."
"Thanks, "
Rachel mumbled self-consciously as she watched him slip the shoes onto her feet. She still couldn't
believe that he was the one who had come here and saved her life.
"Okay, let's go! Zachary has arranged for other people here to keep an eye on you too. They may
arrive soon. I took the chance to come here when they were changing shifts!"
Daniel walked out, pulling her by the hand.
It was raining outside. The rain wasn't heavy, but the ground had become wet and slippery.
"How did you get here? Did you drive?" But just after asking that question, she saw that the
surroundings were all farmland and small hills, and realized that it was impossible to drive here.
"You think I can drive on those hills? I climbed here! Come with me! This is the fastest way." Daniel
continued to hold her hand as they spoke.
Just like he had predicted, there was yelling inside the room Rachel had been in not long after they
escaped.
"Where is she?! Did she escape?"
"Go! Go and get her! Damn! If she really escapes, we will be punished!"
"I found some footsteps here. She must have gone this way!"
Daniel chose to run through the farmland instead of the main road.
He had arranged the escape route already. He had already left marks on the farmland that he could
follow, so that they wouldn't get lost inside with all the corn stalks around them.
Half an hour later, when the sun was about to rise, Rachel couldn't hold it in anymore. She pulled
anxiously at his shirt. "Can you wait for me? I really have to pee now."
She hadn't gone to the bathroom for the whole day after being kidnapped.
Daniel looked at her with concern. Although raindrops were trickling down his face, he still looked
handsome. He pointed to a corner and said, "Go there. I think we can reach the car in another hour.
Everything will be okay after that."
Rachel nodded her head and went there, making sure that she wasn't too far away from him. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
After she finished, she noticed several people standing next to the farmland.
Although the sky was still dark, she could clearly see that they were moving.
Her heart pounding, she stood up and cautiously walked towards Daniel.
"Daniel..."
"Shh, don't move. There are people near us."
Daniel wrapped his arms around Rachel and strained to hear what those people were talking about.
"That's strange... I saw the footsteps there. She couldn't have run too far away."
"Let's check this place. I just got an order from the boss that if we find her, we should just kill her!"
"Go! Find her!"
Daniel waited till their voices drifted away, then slowly let Rachel go. "It seems that we cannot follow
the path anymore. Our only chance of reaching my car is to travel on the main road."
"All right, I'll listen to you. No matter what, I'll take the risk, " Rachel said, nodding her head firmly.
"Give me your hand. Remember to walk with big steps. In fact, try to run. We can manage to get there
within half an hour." Daniel took her hand and walked to the main road. They couldn't continue walking
on the farmland anymore.
Feeling the scratches on Daniel's palm, Rachel raised her head and stared at him. On his arms were
cuts caused by the sharp corn leaves, and some of them were bleeding.
Daniel climbed onto the main road, then pulled her up. They began to run.
After running for ten minutes, they were seen by Zachary's men. Since they were out in the open, it had
only been a matter of time before they were spotted.
"Go! They're there! Go and get them!"
Rachel became anxious. Although she was exhausted, she didn't dare slow down. She knew that if it
weren't for her, Daniel would be able to run much faster.
It was okay if she couldn't save herself, but she didn't want to become a burden on him.
"Rachel! Hang in there! I can see our car. We're faster than I expected." Daniel, who was further up on
the slope than Rachel, saw the black car hiding in the farmland.
Rachel clenched her teeth, trying to run faster and catch up with Daniel.
"Run after them! Don't let them escape! Or else we'll all die!"
Three men were close behind them.
Rachel felt like she'd used up all of her energy to run. She had never run this fast and felt this tired in
her life. She felt like she was about to die.
It was only then that she realized how good her life had been before.
Or at least, it had been good before she had gotten married to Hiram. She didn't need to worry about
her life every day.
After becoming Hiram's wife, her life had turned upside down.
"Rachel! Come on!" Daniel yelled at her breathlessly. He took out his car keys from his pocket and
pressed the button to unlock the car doors. They were only ten meters away from the car now.
But the three men behind them were close too!
"Get in!" Daniel opened the car door and hurriedly pushed Rachel in before running to the driver's seat.
The first thing he did after getting in was lock the doors.
However, When he tried to start the engine, it didn't work because of the cold weather.
Rachel slumped against the seat with a little gasp. "Da... Daniel, where did you get this car? Is it
yours?"
"No... I had to switch cars to avoid being caught by Zachary's men, " Daniel said, continuously trying to
start the engine.
He had driven his Benz at first, but afraid that Zachary would eventually find him, he switched to driving
a Chevy. The Chevy's owner was more than happy to switch the car with him.
Rachel wanted to ask him if the switch was worth it. However, before she could open her mouth, She
realized with a sinking heart that in the time they had taken to try and start the car, The three men had
already caught up with them!
