Chapter 121: Chapter 121
Leo and alana stopped running when they heard gunshots nearby, making alana stare at Leo with her anxious face.
"Are they teaching us?" Alana made Leo shake his head.
"No way, Edgar would have kept Bruce's men from coming after us." Leo retorted, alana was a little surprised when her husband teamed up with a man named Edgar, who alana knew he wanted to kill them before, but at the moment it wasn't that kind of thing to be on alana's mind, they should be back on the run as far away from this remote place as possible, Alana did not know the extent to which Bruce took them from the crowd, but as far as the eye could see were only tall trees among them.
Leo then went back to pulling alana through the dense forest surrounding them, but just a few of alana's footsteps stopped her pace with heavy breathing.
"I'm tired" alana said while holding his stomach, suffocating Leo.
"I'm sorry, I'm totally failing to take care of you and the baby," said Leo, stroking alana's stomach.
"Is he all right?" Tanya Leo made alana nod her head.
"He must be fine, you know our son is strong, I'm just a little tired, we can run back. I'd already put my breath before him," alana said, making Leo stare at him with a look of doubt, but alana's growing grip made him stare into his wife's beady eyes.
"We have to rush out of the woods, I'm still strong enough to run," alana said, leaving Leo finally grasping his wife's hand after that run, hoping they'd hurry up to the main road, but somehow they had just run a few yards of a bullet through one of the logs in front of them, making alana's body dive in with alana shrieking and covering her ears.
"Continue to take cover behind this tree," Leo said, pulling alana into a large tree.
"Are they near us? "Alana asked with her terrified facial expression of her fear as Leo tilted his head a little to look around, they didn't see anyone behind them, but there was still a noise nearby.
"We don't seem to be able to run anymore, we have to find a place to hide," Leo said, making alana nod her head, Leo then stare around with only big wooden trees.
"Would you be able to run a few more yards that way, as though the ground was a little different? "Asked Leo to make alana nod her head, they then went back to the spot where it turned out that there was a cliff not too steep, allowing Leo to plant his foot on the rock that was on the cliff and help alana get down on the ground covering them, which was like a cave that would make them into a hiding place, if suddenly it was possible for Bruce's men to find them.
Alana continues to grasp Leo's hand tightly, leaving him with his face as well as the peroxide on his face, and then putting his hand out and stroking alana's side gently.
"I promise we'll be all right, we'll go through this together," Leo said, making alana look into her husband's eyes firmly before nodding her head.
"I still don't believe it, but it turns out that aunt rose is the one who betrayed us." alana blurted out with this sad look on her face that made Leo silent, and Leo didn't even think that the stepmother would be able to act like this, although from the beginning Leo did suspect her, but after he introduced her to alana Leo, Even though he did good things for Leo.
Despite ill will, at least his stepmother would have made him meet a woman who was now making Leo give up everything in the world just for his wife's happiness.
"But I'm sure in her heart, it's not as bad as what we've just seen," alana went back to believing her aunt still had the same good conscience as she had previously seen, even though she thought it was just a charade to lure her into a relationship with Leo, to achieve her goal, but alana could feel her sincerity.
"I should have suspected my aunt in the first place, from the moment she sent Patrick to do you harm, I should have learned that she was really sly, forgive me.
"What you're saying, it has nothing to do with you, your aunt that had every intention of crushing me in the first place, so don't even think it," Leo said, making alana stare into her husband's eyes and the next second a tear came right up his eyes.
"What did I say to hurt you?" Asked Leo, who immediately erased alana's tears, alana then shook her head and hugged him tightly.
"I love you, no matter what happens in this world I will never leave you," alana said in Leo's embrace, making Leo return his arms, which made alana shed tears and feel if god's fate was unfair to her husband,
If Leo doesn't get the desired happiness after a barrage of trials that must be faced starting with the loss of both parents, the trials that he loses, make him a truly miserable person, plus with the only family he has now, starting to demande him even because of the assets he has, Making alana unsure of her husband's destiny, and alana promised never to inflict any harm on Leo, alana would give him all the happiness he could, they then snapped at the sound of the noise above them.
"Don't let them get away" screams one more time, calling for alana's body to draw closer to the ground behind them, hoping that the person does not look at these cliffs, Leo confides in alana and sees the look on his frightened and his wife's face, after which Leo put his hand out and strode the abdomen that was already beginning to be, at any cost to his wife and his prospective baby.
