Chapter 402
Wally had no choice but to park the car by the roadside without new orders
from Mackenzie.
He was surprised to see the worry on her face. She had changed after
meeting Emmanuel as she had never been so worried. She had certainly
never spared more than a second thought about someone.
Was this the power of love that could make a goddess like her become down
to earth?
“Mackenzie! Mackenzie!”
At that moment, that Land Rover caught up to them and Quintus rolled down
the windows to shout at her car, “If you’re not going to kiss me or have dinner
with me, then come home with me!”
Mackenzie came back to her senses when she heard his voice. She truly
wondered just what was going through his mind for him to act so
shamelessly.
Just as she was about to ask Wally to start the car, she heard Quintus say,
“My sister’s in a vegetative state after saving you. You should at least follow
me home to see her, right?”
“What did you say?” Mackenzie changed her mind and rolled down the
windows to look at Quintus in puzzlement.
Claudette didn’t die? Is that possible? Didn’t the bullet go through her heart?
Even though Quintus wasn’t as smart as Emmanuel, he could understand the
expression on Mackenzie’s face. Then, he smiled proudly. “I bet you didn’t
expect that. My sister’s body is different from the ordinary person’s. The
position of her heart is also different. Do you think she’s that dumb to use her
chest to stop the shot?”
Mackenzie knew that Claudette had some sort of sickness and was pestering
Emmanuel to treat her.
So, she was a little different than the others, but no one expected that her
heart would be in a different position too.
“Bring me to her now!”
“Sure!” Quintus agreed, but brought up a request, “But you have to get in my
car!”
Mackenzie bit her lips, but still exited her car to get on his Land Rover.
Zane was speechless at Quintus‘ way of picking up girls as it was so dumb. It
was no wonder that he had not been with a woman despite being so rich. It
seemed like Quintus knew himself well to actually set aside a 10–year plan to
pursue Mackenzie.
It was 9.00PM when Mackenzie arrived at the Lenoir Residence.
Although she grew up in a villa as the eldest daughter of the Quillen family,
she was still in awe of the solemn manor of the Lenoir Residence.
The manor was painted black and white with many edges and corners that
made the house look dignified.
This was different from the small villa Claudette lived in. This was the real
Lenoir Residence where her father–Adolph Lenoir, lived.
The guards in the villa were all in uniform armed with legal guns.
They stood guard like statues and looked scary unmoving in the dead of the
night.
Mackenzie easily arrived at Claudette’s ward with Quintus taking point.
Under the support of the Lenoir’s powerful influence and wealth, Claudette
was cared for in a sealed–off ward wearing almost nothing as numerous
pieces of medical equipment surrounded her while professional medical
staff were on standby to keep her alive.
They would have been long dead if this was some nobody. But the Lenoir
family was creating a miracle for Claudette.
A socialite herself, Mackenzie was surprised at the scene because the Quillen
family might not have the ability to pull such a stunt, let alone an ordinary
person.
Unfortunately, Claudette was still unable to regain consciousness as her face
looked lifeless. She could only depend on advanced medical equipment to
keep her
eathing, which made people’s hearts ache for her.
At that moment, Mackenzie had mixed feelings for the woman. If it wasn’t for
Claudette, she could have been killed by the bomb.
If Claudette didn’t jump in front of Emmanuel, he could have been dead too.
Mackenzie was grateful for her, but it was also because of her that things
between her and Emmanuel turned so bad that they even went through with
the divorce.
Quintus kept talking beside Mackenzie, but it seemed she couldn’t hear him
as she didn’t respond to him at all.
