Free Web NovelChapter 1212: Chapter 1212: Saving Lives
Iris wailed loudly, and Ariel Morris was so frightened that her legs went weak, unable to bear the sight of her child falling before her eyes, her heart skipping a beat, her lips turning pale.
Iris’s cries were still echoing in her mind when Ariel Morris snapped back to reality and slowly raised her eyes, seeing Iris lying on top of a boy. Iris was embraced by him, completely unharmed.
"My child!" Ariel Morris reacted quickly and immediately crawled over to Iris’s side, not far away.
Seeing Iris unharmed, Ariel Morris hugged her, tears of joy flowing down, her entire body still trembling.
Her gaze fell on the unconscious six or seven-year-old boy on the ground, his face pale, lying there motionless. Ariel Morris gently pushed the boy who had fainted while saving Iris, "Wake up, child."
A stranger boy had saved her child’s life.
Ariel Morris’s hand was still bleeding, the blood dripping, her head feeling somewhat dizzy.
The people on the second floor saw that Ariel Morris was still alive and that Iris, who had been pushed off the floor, was unharmed. Their eyes sharpened as they descended to the first floor.
Ariel Morris cradled Iris in her arms, protecting the boy, watching the members of the Morris Family come down the stairs.
Just then, Ariel Morris’s phone rang, brought by the boy, and Arlo Seys and others, having pinpointed the location through the WeChat GPS, arrived outside the factory.
Ariel Morris’s phone rang at the factory door where the boy had initially stood. Arlo Seys and others were searching for someone, and upon hearing the ringtone, they found the spot successfully.
There was some commotion outside the factory, Damien Morris’s face changed as he looked at the boy lying on the ground, "Everything is spoiled by this child! Arlo Seys and the others are here! So young, yet so astute! Who is he? How did he end up coming here with us?"
Laura Pinley exchanged a glance with the tall man, who nodded slightly and walked towards Ariel Morris and the two children.
"Grab Iris and that boy on the ground!" Laura Pinley’s furious shout rang out.
Ariel Morris steadied herself and stood up, positioning herself in front of the boy, shielding him and Iris.
"Iris, run outside! Dad is outside!" Ariel Morris, her body swaying, blocked the man.
The two engaged in a struggle; the man’s strength was formidable. Ariel Morris’s wrist and palm were injured, blood flowing freely, significantly weakening her grip.
Iris, her small frame, ran towards the door.
Scarlett Morris watched Iris running, her gaze icy, "Stop, little brat!"
"Iris!"
Ariel Morris was hindered, trying to block Scarlett but was entangled by the man. Unable to abandon the boy who fainted while saving Iris, she had to hold her ground against the man, her peripheral vision catching a glimpse of her daughter, her eyes frantic and afraid.
Scarlett Morris’s hand had just caught Iris’s body when the factory door swung open.
"Dad..." Iris’s voice was hoarse, her eyes red.
A group of police officers led by Arlo Seys appeared at the doorway. As Scarlett Morris reached for Iris, the police team captain behind did not hesitate to pull the trigger.
Bang——-!
With the sound of a gunshot, the entire factory fell quiet, with only the echo of the gunfire remaining.
Scarlett Morris’s chest was stained with deep crimson blood, her eyes fixed on Arlo Seys without shifting an inch.
"Scarlett!!" Damien Morris and Laura Pinley came back to their senses, madly rushing towards Scarlett Morris.
Scarlett Morris looked at Arlo Seys, the cold and indifferent man she had longed for over many years. Even now, injured, his gaze never flickering toward her...
"Iris! Ariel!"
Arlo Seys didn’t spare a glance at the gunshot-wounded Scarlett Morris, stepping past her to hand Iris over to the protection of the police team and swiftly went to rescue Ariel Morris.
