Chapter 2715 The Power Of Love
“We’re getting the hell out of here!” Dustin replied firmly, shocking the two of them behind him.
Getting out of here? He’s got to be kidding, right? Abelyn looked at the two of them and checked behind her before stopping in her tracks.
“Stop running, you two! We won’t be able to outrun them in our current condition. We should find somewhere to hide and lay low instead!”
“You’re right!”
With that, the three of them made their way up a nearby mountain and hid themselves in a very secluded spot.
Having exhausted himself from the struggle, the old man slumped on the floor and closed his eyes while Della tidied up her clothes awkwardly in the corner.
Damn it, where the hell did this crazy old man come from? How dare he ruin my plans?
“Are you all right, Ms. Duff?” the bodyguards asked worriedly.
“I’m fine. Where are they? Where have they gone to? Hurry up and go after them!” Della stamped her feet in frustration.
The two bodyguards ran out of the log cabin immediately, only to return looking dejected later on.
Della grabbed them by the arms and asked anxiously, “Well? Did you manage to find them?”
“Ms. Duff, it’s too dark out there for us to even see the road clearly…”
These guys are useless! I can’t believe Joan managed to get away!
Smack!
Della slammed her palm against the wall angrily.
“Ms. Duff, we’ll continue the search tomorrow…” one of the bodyguards said softly.
Tomorrow? They’ll be long gone by then!
Meanwhile, Joan and the two were sitting on a stone bench and looking at the beautiful starry sky above.
“Dustin, Abelyn… I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you two…” she said, feeling incredibly touched at how neither of them blamed her for what happened earlier.
“What are you saying, Joan?” Abelyn said while casually dusting her butt off.
She then gave Joan a pat on the shoulder as she continued, “We’re friends, and friends help each other out, so there’s no need to thank us!”
It was precisely because they were friends that Joan didn’t want them getting hurt because of her.
“Listen up, you two… If, and I mean if, Della comes up the mountain with her men and finds us… Promise me that you two will make a run for it, okay? I know she won’t hurt me…”
Abelyn didn’t like how she sounded like she was bidding them a final goodbye and cut her off by shouting loudly, “Enough! We will either make it out of here together or die together!”
Joan felt touched upon hearing that and stepped forward to hug her with trembling arms.
“Joan, I know the pain you’ve been through is something beyond comprehension for most people. But even so, we must never let anyone look down on us! It’s true that your family isn’t as wealthy or powerful as Larry’s, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t worthy of being with him! Della may be rich, but none of that money means anything if Larry doesn’t like her at all…”
Abelyn’s right… Sometimes, the power of love is enough to overcome anything and everything…
“Are you okay?” Joan asked softly while examining the wounds on her body.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine!” Abelyn said nonchalantly while giving herself a pat on the chest.
“Hey, you two! Stop talking and get some sleep! We have an early flight to catch tomorrow!” Dustin mumbled as he closed his eyes.
They’ve already booked the tickets back to Chanaea…
“But I can’t sleep…” Abelyn pouted and gave Dustin a nudge.
“Me neither.” Joan turned to face Abelyn.
