Even After Death

Brent looked at Kelvin. "Leave this to me. Go find her."

"Be careful, Brent." Kelvin was worried, but they were there on an important mission. He quickly left after he said a few more words to Brent.

Brent and Alan were especially hostile when they saw each other. Both of them drew their weapons.

“I won't let you escape this time."

"Took the words right out of my mouth."

Ethan, Brent, and Kelvin were doing a detailed sweep of the city in different groups. If Sadie died in the city, it didn't matter who did it— Veutron wouldn't let it go easily.

The situation was already very chaotic. If things were to escalate further, it would become a world war.

Gunshots could be heard. Wayne retraced his steps.

He suddenly thought of a minute detail. There had been a pool of water next to the man.

Back when he was a kid in the slums, he saw that women would release amniotic fluid before giving birth. He would be able to find Olivia and the woman if he followed the trail of amniotic fluid.

Damn it. How could he have failed to pick up on such an important detail?

At the same time, Ethan also found that body and the pool of water next to it. He touched it and realized it wasn't water. It was smooth like soap water. It could be amniotic fluid.

He looked at the road and saw a trace of amniotic fluid. The intensity of his gaze softened.

"Sadie is still alive. Let's go."

He didn't know how a pregnant woman like Sadie managed to kill a burly man like that, but the fact was that the man was dead and she was still alive. That was definitely good news.

Ethan moved quickly. The longer he was in the city, the more dangerous it would become.

He followed the trail to a store. He looked at the table and stools behind the hole in the wall. It wouldn't have just come to be like that. Someone had blockaded the store from within.

If there were still people around, they wouldn't choose to hide out so close to the streets. There was only one possibility—Sadie was in there. But it would be hard for a pregnant woman to move heavy things. There was someone else with her!

The truth was out. The dead man had a pair of expensive earrings in his hand. That would mean that he was ambushed from behind when he was robbing Sadie.

Someone saved Sadie, and both of them were in there.

The birth was at a crucial moment. The head of the baby was coming out.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Olivia heard the footsteps. She hoped that the person outside would just leave like the people before, but the footsteps stopped a short distance from them.

Oliva had a feeling that the person was just standing outside the door. She couldn't see anything because of the tables and stools.

Olivia whispered, “I'll be back soon. Do as I told you. Someone's here." Sadie reached out and grabbed her with a worried expression.

Olivia caressed her face gently. "Don't worry. I promised I'd protect you. I'll come back safely."

Sadie wanted to help her, but she was in a dangerous situation herself. She could only hope to give birth to her baby quickly. That would be the best way to help Olivia.

Olivia drew her weapon and loaded it. She hid by the table. She would shoot the person in the head as soon as they walked in!

Ethan could sense someone's gaze at the door. He didn't know how many people were inside. He didn't know if they were men or women. He would be at a disadvantage if he walked in without any preparations. He would also risk hurting Sadie if he started attacking right away.

However, if he waited any longer, Wayne would become an issue. He had no choice but to head in.

Olivia heard the footsteps approaching. A hint of killing intent flashed in her eyes as she held the gun tighter.
