A Cue For Love Chapter 1047


    Chapter 1047 One For Two The mall dissolved into chaos after the two loud gunshots. A middle-aged


    man covered in blood ran toward the outside as he screamed, “Run! There’s a robbery! Run, or you’re


    going to die!”

    The defenseless people began fleeing upon hearing that. Natalie’s first response was to leave the


    ce as well, but she saw a boy about eleven or twelve stumbling toward the outside, having been


    shot in the stomach earlier.


    She went to him and said, “Don’t move. You’ve been shot, but I don’t think it hit the vitals, so it’s not life-


    threatening.”


    However, the boy shoved her hand away and uttered determinedly, “I want to save my mommy and my


    sister. They’ve been taken by those bad guys. They’re going to die if I don’t get the cops to save them!”


    The boy was not crying, but he sounded as though he was on the verge of tears.


    “You’ve bled a lot. If you don’t stop bleeding soon, you’re going to die before you even find the cops.”


    Natalie grabbed the boy’s arm and carried him to a remote corner.


    “Let go of me! Let go of me right now!”


    Natalie ignored the boy’s struggles as she studied his wound again. Once she was certain that it was


    not a fatal shot, she took out her menstrual pad and pressed it against his wound.


    “You’ll still have to get the bullet out through surgery, but things are not going well here. Stay right here,


    and once the situation is less chaotic, stand up and get help from someone. Got it?”


    The boy knew that Natalie was doing it for his sake, but he could not stay calm when he thought about


    how his mother and his sister had been taken away by the criminals.


    “I can’t! My mommy and sister aren’t safe yet. I have to save them!”


    Natalie held him down by his shoulders and said to him solemnly, “Stay here. I’ll go save your mommy


    and sister.”


    “Really?” the boy asked with uncertainty.


    “Yes.” Natalie nodded. “I’m more experienced in life than you, and I’m not hurt. I’ll look for those bad


    guys and think of a way to rescue your mommy and sister from them.”


    The boy nced at his stomach injury and muttered, “Thank you. Thank you…”


    Natalie ruffled his hair before running in the opposite direction the people were fleeing in.


    Most of the people were gone by then.


    Natalie scanned the area before spotting a robber holding a pregnant woman hostage with a sharp


    knife pressed to her neck.


    The pregnant woman was pale from fright, but she was still shielding her stomach with her hands


    protectively—she was still trying to protect the new life in her as much as she could.


    It was then Natalie realized that the boy shared simr features to the pregnant woman.


    Mommy? Sister? It seems that the mommy and sister he’s talking about is this pregnant woman in front


    of me.


    The kidnapper with sunsses kept the pregnant woman still with his arm as he threatened, “It’s best


    for you to do as we say. We don’t want to kill you. But if you keep moving around and end up dying…”


    The pregnant woman did not dare to move. She was even breathing with caution, fearing that the sharp


    knife would slit her throat.


    Nevertheless, pregnant women were no ordinary people. Any massive fluctuations in their mood would


    affect them and the babies in them. If things continued, even if the robber did nothing to the pregnant


    woman, the pregnant woman might have a miscarriage and end up dying with her baby.


    The promise she made to the boy rang in her head. It seemed that the only option she had at that


    moment was to give herself up in exchange for the pregnant woman’s and her baby’s lives.


    I’ll find a way to escape after swapping ces with the boy’s mother.


    Once she made up her mind, Natalie walked to the robber and gave him a small smile. “I need to talk to


    you. I’ll swap ces with her. Is that okay?”
