Chapter 575 Susan's Change

What he did made Susan more sure about her answer-the man ahead of her was Manuel. But the

touch was gone abruptly the next second. And she could feel he'd stopped staring at her.

How she wished she could call his name loudly! The man seemed to have been further and further

away from her.

She was afraid Manuel was going to leave her and give her up. Insecurity haunted her at the time.

She even couldn't tell whether she was afraid of being killed the next second or she was afraid that

Manuel would just leave her there. She began struggling crazily. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

At this moment, Manuel seemed to have chilled out by then. Led by instinct, he picked the red wire. He

would die with Susan if he picked the wrong one.

He lifted the knife and cut the red wire with strength.

Suddenly, the ticktock of the timer stopped. He made it! The bomb didn't blow up.

Manuel was sweating like hell again and was all wet. He just slumped on the floor when he realized the

timer had stopped counting.

Indeed, he'd assumed the worst that he'd be bombed to ashes together with Susan if he cut the wrong

wire.

He gasped heavily and helped Susan take the bomb off her ankle, then tried to leave with Susan in his

arms.

Suddenly, the timer, which had stopped, began counting down with that ticktock again.

Manuel was frozen. He turned around to look at the bomb again. This time he'd got 30 seconds.

Unbelievably, it was a serial time bomb. That was to say, the timer would be triggered again ten

seconds after he cut the wire. And, he couldn't cut the wire to stop the explosion this time.

Manuel picked up the bomb and ran out of the warehouse as fast as he could. Susan could only feel

someone running fast away from her like a gust of wind.

Was something wrong?

Susan had no idea what she'd been through from the very beginning until she heard a big noise like an

explosive sound, which was not so far or close to her.

The big noise was very scary and the warehouse was shaking, but she wasn't injured at all.

Susan was falling apart.

What on earth had happened? And where had Manuel been?

She tried hard to stand up but she was tied up and couldn't move at all.

It felt like ages. Suddenly, someone took off the blinder for her. Finally, she could see again.

She fixed her eyes on the man in front of her.

It was Henry.

How could it be Henry?

Where was Manuel?

Shouldn't it be Manuel?

"Susan? Susan?" Henry saw Susan and got scared out.

How come she was kidnapped in the middle of the night?

How come she'd been abused like this?

He saw her face was deadly pale, and she had bruises all over. Henry stared at her anxiously and

pulled out the cloth from her mouth and took out the earplugs from her ears.

It took quite a while for Susan to come back to earth. She looked around, trying to find Manuel. But

where was he?

"Susan," Henry was scared by Susan's frightened face, "There. There. It's OK. I'm here. I won't let you

get hurt again. Don't be scared, my love."

Henry held Susan into his arms, but he just couldn't warm Susan, who was still cold.

She was still looking for Manuel, for she was so sure that he had just been there with her.

"It's OK. I'll take you home." Henry held her in his arms for a while and tried to carry her out of the

warehouse.

"Where's Manuel?" asked Susan.

Henry was stunned and stared at her without a blink.

"Did you see Manuel?" Susan looked at him and asked.

"You're alone here." Henry said immediately, "Did Manuel kidnap you?"

'No! Manuel saved me!' she thought in mind.

"I'll call the police." Henry picked up his phone.

Susan grabbed his hand and asked, "How did you get here? How did you know I'm here?"

She asked Henry all at once. She wanted to know if it was Manuel who told him that.

"I've got a call from an unknown number and he told me you are here. I doubted it, but couldn't reach

you on the phone. So I came over to check it out and fortunately, you are here! What happened?"

Henry said anxiously.

Hearing it, Susan got upset, since she started doubting the identity of the man who had saved her life.

"Let me take you home first." Henry carried Susan up from the floor.

Susan didn't struggle again. She lay in Henry's arms and looked at his anxious face.

She lowered her eyes. Somehow, she was sad but she couldn't tell why.

Henry took her home directly. Before that, he'd planned to take her to the hospital instead, but Susan

knew it was unnecessary since she wasn't seriously injured.

Henry stayed by her bed and tucked her in tenderly.

Closing her eyes, Susan couldn't help thinking of Manuel and the man who had saved her.

Consequently, she failed to sleep.

"Henry," Susan called him with closed eyes.

"Yes? I'm right here." Henry held her hand tightly.

"You can go now. I'm fine."

"Susan..."

"I'm fine. You're having an important company meeting tomorrow, right? Go home and have a good

rest."

"I can't just go and leave you here alone."

"It was just an accident." Susan said lightly, "Just go."

Although he didn't intend to go he didn't want to bother her, either.

He could feel Susan didn't want him to be there at the moment. So, he stood up and said, "Sleep tight.

Call me if you are scared. I'll come for you, any time."

"Okay." Susan nodded.

Anyway, Henry left. He got furious the moment he got out of her house.

He could feel that Susan didn't depend on him as much as before. By then, he remembered that Susan

had been looking for Manuel in the warehouse, looking very nervous and worried, as if she was afraid

of losing him.

Clenching his fists, Henry suspected it was Manuel who had kidnapped Susan and planned it all and

he got annoyed since he know nothing about what had happened tonight.
