Once Bitten, Twice Shy

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Samantha knew that it would be extremely dangerous and risky, but she was reminded of how she was when she saw Renee’s tears and heard those pleas.

She was intimately familiar with the despair when she was alone and no one helped her.

That was why she could not bring herself to refuse Renee’s request.

Samantha brought over a wheelchair from the corner of the room. She then forcefully undid the straps used to restrain Renee, helped Renee’s weak body up, then placed Renee carefully on the wheelchair before pushing her out the door.

The toilet door opened behind her and the bodyguard walked out while supporting himself on the wall. He yelled as soon as he saw what was happening. “Who are you? Stop!”

Samantha did not expect him to actually power through the stomachache!

Surprisingly, she stopped walking and even turned around to approach the bodyguard.

Her movements were very quick and the bodyguard could not respond quickly because he was on the verge of collapse. Samantha kicked his knee to make him kneel, then immediately struck the back of his neck.

The area she struck could make a person faint.

The bodyguard groaned and struggled for a few seconds before falling weakly to the ground.

Samantha did not have the luxury of wasting any more of her time on him because the nurse would surely discover her when coming to collect the tableware! It was a race against time for Samantha to get out of there!

She immediately went to the door, pushed Renee out on the wheelchair, and closed it again.

Samantha ran back to her ward, grabbed her backpack, then put on a Bluetooth earpiece. She then dialed Ronald’s number while pushing Renee out.

Timothy was worried for Samantha, so he ordered Ronald to stay there and be on standby at all times as backup.

Samantha had only praise for Timothy’s foresight!

Ronald answered almost instantly. “What do you need me to do, Mrs. Barker?”

Samantha said concisely, “I’m bringing Renee to escape right now. Drive the car over and wait for me at the back entrance!”

Before leaving the medical facility the previous night, she cased the place with Timothy and found that there was a back entrance that was only used by the staff.

She had sketched the layout briefly for Ronald when they arrived.

Ronald answered. “Yes. I’ll drive over now!”

Samantha took out her hat and mask from her backpack and said to Renee, “You can’t let them see your face.”

The nurses, doctors, and security guards all recognized Renee, so if the two of them were spotted halfway through their escape, it was almost certain that they would be intercepted!

Renee understood and put them on cooperatively.

Since it was lunchtime and everyone in the entire medical facility was either resting or having their meal, Samantha did not encounter many difficulties when bringing Renee out of the ward area.

A couple of nurses were passing by, but none of them suspected anything because Samantha was wearing a uniform and Renee’s face was covered.

Samantha successfully pushed Renee out of the back entrance and saw the car parked there.

Ronald got out, opened the door to the rear seat, then bent over and helped Renee up into the car.

A harsh-sounding siren began blaring from within the medical facility.

Renee’s expression instantly became panic-stricken. “They… They found out I’m gone. They’re going… They… They’re coming for us.”

Samantha exchanged glances with Ronald.

That was quick!

Renee’s reaction suggested that she had attempted escape in the past but ended up getting caught again. It probably happened several times, otherwise, she would not have had that kind of a stress response!

Samantha quickly held Renee’s hand and comforted her. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll bring you to meet Professor Cornell. You have my word!”

Ronald has already opened the door to the front passenger seat and urged, “Get in quick, Mrs. Barker!”

Samantha closed the rear seat door but did not get into the front passenger seat. Instead, she walked around to the driver’s seat and got in before yelling at the shell-shocked Ronald. “Get in!”

That aura instantly prompted Ronald to obediently hop into the front passenger seat and fasten his seat belt. After that, he reacted and glanced incredulously at Samantha from the side. “Mrs. Barker. Are you…going to drive? Can you handle it?”

It was not your ordinary drive when there were people chasing from behind!

Samantha glanced at him and started the engine without replying to him.

Ronald was a little worried and continued, “Mrs. Barker, maybe it’d be better if I dri—”

Before he could finish his words, Samantha slammed her foot on the accelerator and sent the car speeding forward.

Ronald has never been driven by her before and thought that she was just like any other girl. It scarcely occurred to her that she would drive so intensely.

The accelerator had practically hit the floor of the car and she even managed to switch lanes skillfully.

As far as he knew, Samantha did not drive much during the past two years, so he was impressed by her ability at that moment.

Unfortunately, the medical facility’s security personnel had already given chase.

Ronald avoided disturbing Samantha for fear that she might be distracted. After all, he was entrusting his little life to her hands at that moment, and the most he could do was silently grasp the armrest.

Inside the car that was chasing them from behind was the bodyguard, who sat weakly in the front passenger seat. Had he not held on to his last bit of consciousness and gone out to find a nurse, he would not have been given an injection and regained consciousness.

There were severe repercussions in store for him if he could not explain himself and let Renee escape just like that.

It just never crossed his mind that the woman who rescued Renee would possess such excellent driving skills. Their vehicle could not get close at all despite their best efforts in giving chase!

The bodyguard hesitated for a moment but eventually decided to take out his cell phone and call Brian.

As soon as Brian answered, the bodyguard reported truthfully, “Sir, a woman impersonating a nurse just helped Renee escape. My car is chasing after her car right now, but I must apologize because we won’t be able to catch up to them. I’m afraid she’ll be allowed to escape.”

“How useless can you be? Is it that hard to keep your eye on one woman!” Brian gave him a tongue-lashing, but then closed his eyes and suppressed his anger after realizing that scolding was not going to be of any use.

“A woman…” he mumbled those two words. A thought immediately occurred to him and there was a trace of panic in his eyes. “Could it be Samantha?”

Samantha was probably the only person who would be so madly obsessed with it!

If she was the one who helped Renee escape, then the events of yesteryear would be exposed. Brian had to make sure that Renee would not speak.

His expression sank thoroughly and he said, “Tell me your location. I’ll send reinforcements.”

The bodyguard responded, “Understood.”

After a pause, Brian spoke in a cold and murderous tone, “I should’ve tied up these loose ends when it comes to a scourge like Renee. Since her existence has been discovered, she can no longer be allowed to live! Let her…die in a car accident.”

The bodyguard answered diffidently, “But Samantha is in the car too. She’s the wife of Timothy Barker.”

Brian sneered.. “Guess she’ll have to die with Renee now that she’s traced everything back to me!”
