Chapter 29 Familiar scar

Elly surprisingly looks at Alex and then quickly remove the seatbelt. "Out of this room, you don't need to look behind, keep running, and then there my people will rescue you"

"What about you?"

"I'll cover up the rear, Go quickly, there's no time to talk." Alex aggressively pulled her hand ran toward the door. He cursed slightly in his head, she was always a quick mouth, why when she had a problem she dumbfounded like an idiot? But Alex never knows that the moment he saw her heartbeat so fast.

"At the time they are running toward the door, the abductor during the day kicking Elly's stomach comes back.

"Who is this guy? How dare you want to escape from here?" The abductor rushed to punched Elly's face, Elly leaned forward pushed, Alex.

"Run!!!"

Following the fall, Alex pushed one hand against the ground, sweeping his foot at the abductor. Alex has an advantage in physic, so the abductor attacks, he knew that if he let the hostages escape, the police would sooner or later catch them. Anyway, Elly has seen his face.

Elly's swing kick has hit right in the abductor's stomach, but when Alex had not yet covered his legs, he had hit by a guy who has a power like a buffalo on the shoulder blades, crushing him to the ground.

Alex tries hard to stand up then from the top of the guy lying on top of him dripped red blood. The abductor fell to the ground, revealing Elly with a white face, blood-stained brick in her hand.

"Why are you not running? Who let you come back?"

Alex shouted angrily, stand up to take the brick and throw away, then turned back aiming to continue to scold. What strikes his eyes is Elly's small body jumped over and pushed him away; the abductor with a blood-soaked head holding a wooden staff gasped and stared at the two.

"Two bastards ... pant... dare to hit me?"

Being pushed by Elly's weight, his eyes widened in anger when he saw a large wooden stick-shaped stain.

Understood what just happened, he helped her sit down on the ground while using his other hand to block the kidnapper's next strike. Anger had clouded his mind, Alex becomes a madman beating his kidnapper fiercely.

There was a cracking sound somewhere, the kidnapper's cane-holding arm was broken. A scream of pain echoed everywhere, which attracted Alex's followers as well as the kidnapper's allies to join the fight.

Alex kicks the kidnapper on the back, breaks the other arm, then kicks him hard and makes him fall and hit his back into the tree.

One of his followers runs to Alex's side waiting for his order.

"Arrest all of them. Investigate who is behind all of this. "

"Yes sir."

Strong footsteps bringing a sense of anger go towards Elly, now she leans to a corner of her surroundings.

"Are you okay?"

Elly knows he asks about the wound behind her back. "Yes, I'm okay." She shakes her head but the movement is slightly strong, making the wound on her back stinging, her face frowned and she's in pain, she doesn't realize her face has become so white.

Alex closes her eyes, rudely grabs her arm, and walks quickly to the parking lot.

"Mr.Alex, slow down, where are you going to take me to? Hey, please slow down a bit .."

Elly screams because of harsh treatment. She just saved him from a strike, why can't he be more gentle with her?

She is thrown into the back seat of the car, scrambling to sit up straight when hearing a bossy command.

"Take off your clothes!"

"Huh?" Elly stiffens and looks at Alex like a hoodlum.

Alex saw the worry in her eyes, Alex grins, "Don't overthink, I just want to help you check the wound on your back."

"I'm fine, no need to be fussing about it." Elly avoids Alex and jerks back, leans back, yet her wounded back hits the door. She is in so much pain that she can't scream out loud, her eyes widen with tears.

Alex is impatient about her cheeky attitude, quickly grabs Elly's shoulder blades then turns her around and pulls her shirt up.

"It's hurt!!!"

Elly's groan appears with a large bruise on her white back at the same time.

Alex's eyebrows frown, with the medical box, he expertly applies for the medicine on her.

"So stupid. your body was as thin as a chicken, yet you still dared to hold a stick. You want to compare your back or the wooden stick to see which one is harder, right? What a fool! Dull!"

Being scolded by a person for being foolish, under the pain of the wound, Elly also begins to suspect, maybe she is a fool when saving this cold-blooded man.

"You ungrateful ..." Elly whispers and pouting. Her body trembles slightly from the cold medicine behind her back. "Are you done, you are grabbing my shoulder too hard."

Alex doesn't answer but moves his hand that was holding her shoulders upwards, pulling on the hem of his shirt to easily apply for the medicine.

An oval birthmark and a circular scar stand side by side just below the shoulder blades. Alex stares at them his memory of the morning after the drunk night when he mistakenly thought that Maddy was Emily Russel has flashed back.

Alex at that time was extremely angry, he sat on the edge of the bed and continued to smoke. Maddy laid on his stomach and lied on the bed, a blanket covered the lower half of her body. Her body was full of love marks during their night together. She was crying.

Outraged at thinking that Maddy had intentionally trapped him, and also disgusted with the sound of her crying, Alex held a burning red cigarette and pressed it on her back, right next to the small oval birthmark as small as her fingernails.

The birthmark next to the cigarette scar could be a coincidence.

Elly realizes that Alex does not continue to apply for the medicine, she immediately turns to urge him. "Mr. Hargreaves, If you are done, please take your hands off ..."

"You are Maddy, aren't you? You are Maddy!"

Being compared and mistaken for others, Elly is extremely disgusted.

She takes his hand off her back then pulls her shirt down and glares at him sharply. "I am not that person. Mr. Hargreaves, you have mistaken me for someone else."

"Where did the scar on your shoulder come from?"

"Scar?" Elly unconsciously put her hand behind her back, tilts her head to think, then shrugs. "I don't remember, maybe some scars left from a traffic accident."

Alex looks into her blurred eyes, he is reluctant to ask.

"You really don't remember, right?"

Elly honestly shakes her head.

Alex swallows, he feels like his throat is choked on something, the corner of his mouth lifts, Maybe ... I'm wrong."

In the place where Elly could not see, Alex's suspicious eyes flashed a devious light.

Elly does not like the quiet atmosphere between the two of them so she changes the subject. "Mr. Hargreaves, how did you know I was kidnapped?"

Alex snorts and seems to look down on her. "John is like a madman; he had flipped the city upside down just to find you. He even made a riot at the company because he thought I was hiding you from him."

Just hearing that John was the first person to found out that she was missing and searched everywhere, Elly feels that her soul is being watered with such cool water.

John always loves her tenderly, always took care of her, and would find out immediately if she gets into something. Elly thought that she could ignore the fact that he used to prevent her from being employed in any company.

Seeing Elly's blushing face while he mentioned John, strange jealousy appeared in Alex's heart.

"Huh! Flaunting his reputation in a panic, finally, the person who found and rescued you was me, not that useless guy."

Hearing John is being scolded; Elly's eyes had sparked an angry light. However, remembering that the hateful person in front of her had just saved her from the kidnapper, she decides to forgive him.

Elly smiles a bit to please Alex, and her voice becomes much sweeter. "Mr. Hargreaves, can you lend me your phone? My phone must have been lost somewhere."

Alex takes out his phone, turns it around in his hand, then looks at Elly's expectant expression, and leisurely asks her.

"You want to call John, right?"

"I have disappeared for too long, surely John is very worried. John always worries whenever I go out, he looks after me like a child. If I don't tell him that I'm alright, I'm afraid that he will become mad." Her sparkling eyes and laughter give people the feeling that Elly is very happy when she mentions her sweetheart.

Hearing Elly called John by his intimate name, Alex's feeling of anger became bigger and bigger.

He did not give Elly his phone but dialed the number himself. "Let me call him."
