A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 272 Let Bygones Be Bygones

The jailers quickly got Rose out of the cell and put her into the car. Then they drove her to a funeral home.

But they were wrong, because Rose wasn't dead. Once the jailers had left, she struggled to open her eyes and sneaked around to escape the funeral home. 'I lived, bitches, ' she smirked to herself.

It was already midnight and the rain was pouring hard.

Despite her wobbly legs, she tried to run. She had to escape and find someplace to hide!

'I won't die here!

If I die right now, I won't be able to avenge myself and my baby!'

She ran in full speed, mustering all of her strength. Little did she know that there was a beam of light following her.

The car screeched as Rose fell down onto the ground.

Rose spat out a mouthful of blood and felt she had broken some bones.

'Ah, life is a bitch. After letting me survive for five minutes, it's going to kill me again.

I can't die here. Not today! Those bastards... I haven't gotten my revenge!'

Her eyes were full of resentment. Her thoughts were still cursing them, 'Even though I die, my spirit will never rest and will haunt you all till you all die!'

Rose coughed out blood again and she looked up at the starless sky. Everything was fading into black. The last thing she heard was some footsteps and a man's voice.

"What the hell?" the man grunted.

He lowered his head and stared at her who was already unconscious. He smirked to himself, and one could hardly tell what his intentions were.
