Chapter 256

"Darius!"

Erin’s amplified cries filled the air.

Then, she heard Thomas muttering a curse, which sent a chill down her spine.She did not dare stand and see what had happened to Darius.

Instead, she remained frozen on the ground.

"I’m so sorry, Mr.Reid.I got here too late," a familiar voice suddenly spoke.

"Bridget!"

Erin thought, rising to her feet at an inhumanly fast rate.She then looked over the newly arrived car next to her, where a woman got out from the other side.

Pressing her aching chest, Erin stumbled onto the ground again.

Her legs had given in, and her mind went blank All her body could do was breathe at that point.

On the other hand, Bridget saw Erin from afar and wanted to speak with her.

Before she could, she saw Erin collapse onto the ground.

Bridget assumed Erin had gotten hurt, so she dashed over to Darius, stopping before him briefly to bow.

"Mr.Reid."

While she had not risen from her bow, her eyes continued to examine the other side of the car for Erin.

Seeing that, Darius put his hands in his pockets and sighed lightly.
