Chapter 698


    Aurelia’s mind nked. She had never encountered a situation like this. She lived like a sewer rat for


    her first 18 years of life. She had never harmed anyone of her own will, but she had had to turn her


    back on certain things for profits and self-preservation—things like a regr person’s awareness. Upon


    seeing the stabbed Fredric, a regr person’s first reaction would be to call the police and send him to


    the hospital. She could not do it. She could not leave him to die but was unwilling to implicate herself


    because of it. Dragging Fredric back to treat his wound to prevent him from dying on the street due to


    blood loss was already the best she could do. Aurelia’s heart thumped as she lost her bearing. An evil


    thought shed in her mind. She could very well turn around, leave, and lock the door to allow the man


    to fend for himself in there. When the sun set, she could then drag him out and throw him somewhere.


    Nobody would know. She sucked in a cold breath. She pped herself harshly twice when the evil


    thought settled in her mind. She calmed down after a moment and approached Fredric with trembling


    hands. She felt for his breathing. It was weak, but it was not hopeless. Aurelia got out of the metal box,


    where she kept her money, and tried to carry Fredric on her back. She was young and slim and failed


    to carry him after several attempts. Thus, she ran out for help. She knocked on all the doors in the


    basement, but the people who lived here had their own challenges. No one was willing to help her. An


    old nomaddy shouted at her with a re, “I told you not to drag this guy in here! We’ll all be doomed

    “You’ll alert the police! Die if you want, don’t drag us into this!” The old nomaddy mmed her door


    shut. The others chose to watch without helping. Someone even warned her, “Wait and see if we’ll skin


    you alive if you dare call the ambnce!” Aurelia was scared and anxious, tears spilling out of her


    eyes. She stood there helplessly until a usually quiet man dragged a wooden cart over and helped


    carry Fredric into it. Aurelia kept thanking him, and they got Fredric out of the basement together and


    onto the ground level. “It should be fast if you run dragging him along,” the man said hoarsely. “Send


    him to the hospital in secret. Don’t call the ambnce! Or we’ll all suffer.”Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    “Mm, I know. Thank you!” The wheels were freshly oiled, so they spun fast. Aurelia ran out of the alley


    pulling the cart along. With the metal box in her arms, she prayed inwardly. She ran fast, only to run


    into a solid chest just as she made a turn. Aurelia fell to her butt, and the cart slid away. She could care


    less about herself as she yanked the cart’s rope with all her might, but a force grabbed her wrist! “It’s


    you?” Aurelia was terrified. Neil red at her but saw Fredric, who was on the verge of death, on the


    cart. His mind went nk, speechless from the astonishment. “What’s going on!?” Aurelia stared at him


    dumbly, shaking. “Is he hurt?” Neil growled, “Did you wound him?” “No!” Neil had no time to think


    further. Fredric might notst long, judging by how pale he looked. He hated this man but could not


    watch an acquaintance die in a foreignnd. As for the girl, she had to be brought back to be


    interrogated! Neil calmed down and said seriously, “My car’s on the road opposite. I’ll send you both to


    the hospital!” Aurelia bit her lips and looked at Fredric. Neil knew that she wanted to escape and caught


    her arm. “Before this guy is saved, don’t even think about leaving my side!”
