Pursuing Her

CHAPTER 824 DANGER LOOMS

Arius had always believed in Sophie, so he nodded in response.

“All right, I got it. Then I will be standing guard outside here. Be careful.” The situation out there was really chaotic.

He was worried that someone might dash in. That was why he stood guard outside.

In the meantime, it was also just as chaotic outside Nicholas' mansion. Butterfly took a look and realized that was her best chance to get away.

Since no one had time for her, Butterfly sneaked out of the mansion and hoped no one would notice.

Butterfly was very happy when she reached the main door without anyone noticing her! In the end, Nicholas appeared and blocked her way.

“Ms. Sekelsky, where do you think you are going? Given the messy situation out there, where can you go to?”

She could only stay safe by staying there.

Nicholas' mansion was the safest place. No one dared to charge in.

Butterfly smiled as she glanced at Nicholas.

“No, I wasn't going anywhere. I was too cooped up in the house, so I decided to take a walk and get some fresh air,” said Butterfly calmly.

“Ha! I can't believe you are still in the mood for that, Ms. Sekelsky.” Isn't she aware of the danger that looms outside?

There were riots going on everywhere in Anglandur. Even the president could not subdue the ongoing turmoil.

There were bloodshed and crimes happening everywhere.

Nicholas grabbed hold of Butterfly's collar and dragged her back to the mansion.

“Nicholas, what are you doing? Sophie is still at the International Medical Association with all these going on! How can I leave her there all by herself? I have to go there and protect her.”

She saw on the news that the crowd was attacking the International Medical Association too. Sophie was capable, but at a time like that, she would be more focused on her research. Someone needed to be there by her side.

“You are so good to Sophie.”

“Of course. Sophie is my best friend. Of course, I'm nice to her!”

What a joke! Both women had gone through life-and-death situations together in the past. That was why they were so close.

Just then, they heard the sounds of a helicopter and saw one flying above them.

Nicholas knew something was amiss.

True enough, the moment the helicopter flew lower, someone started shooting at them.

“Holy crap! These people are so daring that they dare to attack me in my own house.” Nicholas was enraged.

Nevertheless, in the most dangerous moment, he still pulled Butterfly into his arms and shielded her from the bullets.

Butterfly knew that things were about to get worse.

However, she genuinely did not expect Nicholas to shield her from the attack.

“Nicholas, are you all right?”

Just then, Richard rushed out with the others, and they began to fire at the helicopter.

It was only then that the helicopter flew away.

Richard ran over to Nicholas. Upon seeing his pale face, Richard knew that Nicholas had been injured.

“Boss, where are you hurt? I'll get the doctor right away.” Richard immediately ordered his subordinates to call for a doctor.

Nicholas pressed his hand on his wound.

“I'm fine, Ms. Sekelsky. You better go in! You have seen with your own eyes how bad the situation is in Anglandur. It's too dangerous for you to go anywhere!”

Nicholas got hurt because of her, and she felt bad if she left now.

Instead, Butterfly carried him into the house by herself.

Nicholas had been shot. If it were not for Nicholas, she would have been the one who got shot.

“Nicholas, you—”

Butterfly knew that he was not in any danger, but she was still worried about him. After all, he got hurt because of her.

“Richard, get two men to stay with Ms. Sekelsky to protect her.” At a time like that, Nicholas was still worried about Butterfly.

She was a friend of Sophie's. Since she was Sophie's friend, he could not sit back and watch her get hurt.

“Understood, Boss. Don't worry!” Richard looked at Butterfly and was speechless.

Doesn't she know about the situation out there? I can't believe she was running all over the place. If she hadn't done that, Boss wouldn't have gotten injured.

Why are women so troublesome?

It's fine that they can't be of any help in times of trouble. Yet, they manage to cause trouble for others.

Butterfly could not bother to argue with Richard even though she knew what he was getting at. Earlier on, she did want to leave.

“You guys leave! I need some alone time!” In actual fact, Nicholas was planning to go and look for Sophie.

The International Medical Association was a target, and not every one of the rioters was from Anglandur. At a chaotic time like that, there would be people who were there to make trouble.

After all, not every country hoped that Anglandur would get over the current dangerous situation.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He got up from the couch and prepared to walk out when Richard saw and stopped him.

“Boss, you are hurt. It's too dangerous for you to go out there. If there's anything, I can do it for you.” During a time like that, it would be better for Nicholas to rest there.
