Chapter 5. It's okay now, don't be afraid.

Cate let out a sigh of relief, but before she could fully relax,her anxiety returned. She looked out of the ventilation window, which was atleast three or four meters above the ground. Even if she jumped, she would break her leg at the very least. Moreover, the warehouse was located in a remote suburb. Even if she managed to escape from here, it wouldn't be long before those people found her.

She gritted her teeth and tore a long strip of cloth from her shirt, hanging it on the window and throwing the ventilation blade out with force. After finishing all this, Cate climbed down from the box and looked around before hiding in an empty box.

She didn't know what this warehouse was used for before, but the box had a pungent smell. Cate endured it silently and sent a message to Jael.

"I'm in a box in the warehouse now. "

Cate curled up in the box, recalling that this wasn't the first time something like this had happened. However, she wasn't as lucky as she was now.

She had been locked up in a dark basement for three days without food or water. Robin stood infront of her and Sneered, " Do you think he'll come to save you? Let me tell you, Jael Sweeny doesn't care about your life or death! He didn't even bother to look for you! "

At that time, Cate consciousness was already blurred. But she still believed that Jael Sweeny would come to save her, but in the end, she didn't wait for him.

Finally, she found an opportunity to slash the face of the person Robin had brought with all her might and managed to escape. She wanted to find him, but she saw rumors about him and Robin everywhere.

Her heart was as cold as ashes, and that was probably how she felt now.

Cate closed her eyes and stopped thinking about it.

Outside the box came a commotion, and Scar and his men must have realize that she had escaped . He shouted angrily, " what kind of eyes do you have? Do you know that she has run away? "

Cate mind was stretched to the limit, and even her breathing became unconscious.

"She must have run out through the window! "

As Cate expected, Scar soon saw the window. " She can't have gone far. Hurry up and chase her! If we can't catch her, we'll all die! "

The warehouse because quite again, and they must have gone after her.

Jael Sweeny's voice came through the intercom, " Hello?..I'm here... Cate, you... "

Probably because the signal was bad in the box, Sweeny's speech was intermittent, mixed with harsh electric noise.

Cate tried to contact Jael Sweeny by a text message , but couldn't be sent.

Damn it!

She cursed in her heart and waited for a while. After confirming that there was no one in the warehouse, she carefully moved the lid of the box and exposed her head.

Unexpectedly, before Cate could contact Jael Sweeny again, she saw a thug still standing at the door of the warehouse!

Cate's face changed suddenly. She didn't expect Scar to leave someone here to guard the place!

The thug also saw her and immediately shouted, Boss! She's here! "

He rushed over and tried to grab her. Cate agile dodged and, taking advantage of her small stature, ran past the thug and out!

As she ran, Cate shouted into the phone, " where are you? "

"You go first. "

Before the words had even finished, Cate had already plugged into a warm embrace.

Since he received her call, Jael Sweeny heart had been pounding non-stop. He held Cate tight in his arms and said in a hoarse voice, " It's okay. Don't be afraid. "

It's okay.

Cate clutched his suit jacket with her hands and trembled slightly. After a while, she murmured, " Mm. "

"Who's the blind fool? "

The thug didn't recognize Jael Sweeny and pulled out a knife from somewhere.

Jael Sweeny's face turned cold. Almost without thinking, he pushed the woman in his arms behind him and grabbed the sharp blade with his bare hands!

He held and pulled the thug forward. Then, with a kick to the chest, he sent the man flying three or four meters away!

Blood flowed continously from the wound. Cate's face turned pale. The scene now replayed in slow motion in her mind. When she came back to her senses, she saw Jael Sweeny frowning and asking her, " Are you hurt? "

Cate stared at Sweeny's bleeding hand in silence for two seconds before saying, " Your injury seems more serious. "

In the distance, the sound of continuous police siren could be heard. Jael Sweeny assistant, Lione, ran over and saw Jael Sweeny's injured hand. He took a sharp breath.

"Jael, we need to go to the hospital to get stitches!"

Sweeny responded without showing any emotion and ordered, " surround the entire factory area. I'll handle this personally. "

"Yes. "

Lione agreed, but hesitated for a moment,

Jael Sweeny only took him with him and if he stayed at the scene, Sweeny's hand would be injured and he wouldn't be able to drive...

"I'll take him to the hospital, " Cate suddenly spoke up. Even in this situation, she managed to force a smile and said, " Don't worry, I'm a good driver. "

There were many people waiting to register at the hospital, but fortunately Jael's face was well-known and well-respected everywhere.

"Be careful not to get wet recently, change the dressing every three days, and it should be fine in about two weeks, " the doctor said while stitching up the wound and giving Jael Sweeny instructions. However, Jael was absent-minded looking out of the room.

Cate stood in the corridor with her back to him, her head slightly lowered, covered in blood and dirt,looking very disheveled.

A nurse passed by her and noticed the countless Small cuts on her arm, unable to help but exclaim, " Miss, your arm is injured! "

Cate only reacted after hearing the nurse's words. She had gotten those cuts while pushing the box and uploading the fan blades.

"OH,it's just a minor injury,don't worry about it, she said, comparing it to the shocking knife would on Jael Sweeny.

"This won't do, it could get infected, "the nurse insisted on taking her to treat the wound,but Cate was about to refuse when a voice suddenly shouted at the end of the corridor, "Cate!"

Cate turned to look and saw Robin walking towards her in high heels, her face full of anger. Before Cate could say anything, Robin slapped her hard!

"Smack!"

Robin was still unsatisfied and cursed, " You slut!I knew it was a bad idea to get involved with you!Why don't you just die?!"

The slap was strong, and Cate face turned to the side, ringing in her ear with a taste of blood in her mouth.

While cursing, Robin raised her hand again, but this time, before it could fall, it was grabbed.
