Ch. 350: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 350

Chapter 350

The group chasing them fell behind, unable to keep up.

Bianca glanced in the rearview mirror, catching a glimpse of Kevin in the back seat. Her anxiety spiked at the sight of his deteriorating condition. His trembling had lessened, but it was far from reassuring—it only made her more desperate.

“Hold on, Kevin. Please, hold on for me. We’re almost there! I won’t let you die. Just stay with me!” she shouted, her voice breaking.

Her determination burned fiercely. She couldn’t let him go—not like this. If she could just keep him alive a little longer, she’d find a way to save him.

Driving recklessly through winding roads, Bianca left the forest behind, sped through downtown, and finally reached an abandoned factory. Tires screeched as she slammed on the brakes.

A car appearing on the factory’s surveillance triggered an immediate alert.

Bianca leapt out, screaming for help. “Dad! It’s me! Please, help!”

Rushing to the back seat, she struggled to pull Kevin out, her frantic movements betraying her panic.

At that moment, Calvin’s trusted men emerged from the shadows. They recognized Bianca instantly.

Inside the factory, Calvin stared at the surveillance footage. He didn’t flinch when he saw Bianca. He’d been expecting this moment and was testing Kevin’s loyalty.

Would Kevin go to such lengths to take down Archer for them?

Calvin’s eyes narrowed with suspicion. The man’s motives weren’t entirely clear, and trust didn’t come easily.

Outside, Bianca was shouting at the top of her lungs. “What are you standing there for? Help me!”

Her desperation caught Calvin’s attention. Calmly, he walked outside. His tone, however, was far from reassuring. “Didn’t I tell you not to come here unless absolutely necessary? And you bring him here of all places?”

Bianca dropped to her knees, her voice cracking with emotion. “Dad, Kevin was poisoned by Archer while saving me. He did it for me! He’s risked his life for us. You doubted him before—don’t do it now! He doesn’t deserve to die. I can’t lose him!”

Calvin hesitated, his distrust of Kevin still lingering. But Bianca’s tears and the severity of Kevin’s condition swayed him.

“Bring him inside,” Calvin finally ordered.

Bianca’s face lit up with hope. “Thank you, Dad! Thank you!”

Still skeptical, Calvin asked, “What about Archer?”

“He’s been arrested, and his base is gone. Kevin made it all happen. He’s proven himself, Dad. Please trust him this time!” Bianca pleaded.

Calvin remained guarded, but Kevin’s poisoned state suggested his sacrifice was genuine. A poisoned man wasn’t a threat—this act of loyalty couldn’t be overlooked.

“Fine,” Calvin muttered. “But remember, Bianca, he’s still a soldier—a soldier who works against us. Light and dark don’t mix easily.”

Bianca shot back, “Who says they can’t? Black and white can coexist.”

Calvin didn’t answer immediately. The thought lingered in his mind—perhaps Kevin could serve as a bridge between worlds, aiding their cause.

Kevin was carried inside and taken to the laboratory, a hidden facility on the factory’s upper floor. The place was filled with rows of shelves holding bottles and test tubes of colorful liquids, distillation equipment bubbling in the background. Researchers in full gear worked tirelessly, surrounded by the faint hum of machinery.

Kevin was laid unconscious on a sofa, his breathing shallow and his face pale.

At the hospital, Norah underwent a full examination. Aside from some bruises and scrapes, she was unharmed. Karina’s protection had saved her life.

But Norah’s concern for Karina lingered. Karina had no one. No family. No friends. Even in the operating room, she was utterly alone.

Norah waited outside the operating room, determined to be there when Karina woke up. She wanted to give her a reason to hold on—a reminder that someone cared.

Three hours later, the surgery was over.

When the doctors wheeled Karina out, Norah stood immediately. Relief washed over her when she saw Karina was alive.

“The operation was successful,” the doctor said. “The bullet has been removed, but she’ll need time to recover.”

“Thank you,” Norah replied, her gratitude evident.

But as soon as Karina was moved to a room, a group of police officers arrived. Levi, leading the team, stationed guards outside her door.

“What’s going on? Why are you guarding her room?” Norah demanded.

“She’s connected to the bandits,” Levi explained. “We suspect she’s a key accomplice, so we need to keep her under watch.”

Norah’s heart sank. “She was forced into this! Are you seriously blaming her for surviving?”

“That’s not for me to decide,” Levi said evenly. “Her role will be determined during the investigation.”

Norah clenched her fists, her emotions spilling over. “If someone has no choice but to do whatever it takes to survive, how can you punish them for that? What do you expect them to do—die instead?”

Levi remained calm, trying to reassure her. “Ma’am, nothing has been decided yet. There’s still hope.”

But Norah wasn’t convinced. She couldn’t shake her memories of Karina—the girl who had protected her when no one else would.

Karina’s life had been filled with suffering, and Norah’s heart broke knowing no one truly understood her pain.

Wiping away her tears, Norah turned to Levi with a sharp question. “Where’s Kevin? Why haven’t I seen him? You and Frank are always by his side, yet you’re here. Where is he?”

Levi’s expression stiffened. He hesitated, clearly uncomfortable.

Norah’s suspicion grew. “You’re hiding something from me, aren’t you?”
