Chapter 1299 Blood Rose’s Accomplice
Blood Rose didn't strike anymore and stared coldly at the old woman shuffling toward her
with interest.
However, Jewel didn't continue stopping the woman anymore. While she was worried that
the old woman might be hurt by Blood Rose, she also suspected that the old woman might
be in cahoots with Blood Rose. She didn't move at all, feeling conflicted.
Blood Rose clutched herself and laughed meaningfully. "Aren't you kindhearted? Why don't
you save everyone? Is a child's life worthy but not an old woman's?"
She abruptly reached out to grab the old woman.
Jewel became shocked. They probably weren't working together after all.
Alex had the same thought as Jewel and rushed toward Blood Rose almost instinctively
when he saw Blood Rose grab the old woman mercilessly.
Jewel took several steps to reach the old woman and asked Blood Rose angrily, "Are you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteven human?"
Blood Rose was busy taking on Alex and didn't say anything, though victory flashed across
her eyes.
Jewel was ignorant of this and immediately consoled the old woman when she saw the
latter turn pale with shock and pat her chest continuously. "It's okay. Just go inside the
washroom and hide for a while."
The old woman was obedient and muttered, "What are you doing?"
As she spoke, she moved with difficulty and turned around.
Just as Jewel had lowered her guard against the old woman and was looking anxiously at
Alex, the old woman suddenly drew a dagger and stabbed it toward her.
It was far too late by the time Jewel had noticed it, but with the child in her embrace, she
could only protect the child by hugging him tighter instinctively. The dagger went into her
back, but thankfully, she had moved backward slightly by then, so the injury didn't seem
that deep, though the sharp pain did make her stumble.
Olivia and Eugene, who had been sitting in front of the computer, were so shocked that
they couldn't breathe, fearing that the sounds might affect Jewel's reactions. Blood Rose
was simply despicable; not only had she disguised herself but also used such a small child
for her own benefit. They wanted to ask how Jewel was, but now clearly wasn't the time.
"Jewel!" shouted Alex anxiously, blaming himself for not being able to discern that the old
woman was Blood Rose's accomplice. He wanted to go over to check on Jewel, but Blood
Rose kept attacking which kept him occupied for the time being. His movements became
more violent due to his anger.
Jewel knew this as well. Alex was no match for Blood Rose and was lucky enough to be
able to defend himself. The man pursuing Blood Rose earlier was gone, probably already
dealt with by their own people, so now Jewel could only depend on herself. However, she
had just been stabbed which affected her physical reactions, plus she had a crying child
with her. She couldn't just go on the offensive with the old woman as well, since hurting
the child wouldn't be worth it.
After brief consideration, she had no choice but to reach for the small bottle Olivia had
given her and pulled the cork with one hand. Just as the old woman attacked once again,
Jewel swung her hand, throwing the bottle of white powder toward her opponent. She and
Alex had already taken the antidote, so they would be unscathed if they inhaled the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpowder. However, other people wouldn't be so fortunate.
The old woman knew that this was another substance that could weaken her entire body
and instinctively moved away from it, covering her face, nose, and mouth while waiting for
the smell to disperse. However, Jewel moved forward with the child in her arms and kicked
the old woman directly in the chest.
The old woman slid some distance away on the floor, grunting in pain which made a
fragrant smell enter her nostrils easily. She tried to get up but suddenly felt weak, unable
to get up even after several attempts.
Jewel knew that Olivia's bone-softening powder had taken effect and ignored the old
woman since her target was Blood Rose. She suddenly felt that Olivia's powder was
extremely useful and planned to use it on Blood Rose as well, but Blood Rose had been
smart enough to give up on fighting with Alex at close range and quickly run outside.
Then, Jewel quickly stuffed the child into Alex's arms and ran after Blood Rose, becoming
panicked when she saw Blood Rose was about to reach the reception hall. If Blood Rose
fled outside, it would be much more difficult to capture her as there were so many people
there.
