To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 743

Jenny quickly dodged the shot, though, in truth, the situation had just begun to escalate. She knew that if she didn't come up with an escape plan soon, she might actually die there.

But what could she do? She didn't dare seek help from the drivers driving by in their cars. They'd also be subjected to the mercenaries' mercy, which Jenny was strongly against.

The only way out right now was to literally get out of this situation, she decided.

Jenny dove headfirst for the nearby trees. The foliage would help lower her chances of being shot.

"Ow, fuck!" she yelped as sudden pain blossomed in her shoulder, nearly making her knees buckle. A bullet had hit her shoulder. Blood was already gushing out from the wound.

Yet behind her, the mercenaries were closing in on her, so she bit back the pain and ran into the woods.

Meanwhile, Gilbert was calling Jenny's number after landing at Bardoff Airport. Minutes went on, and still, no one picked up, making him frown.

"What is it? She's not answering?" the man who'd sat beside him on the airplane asked. He had expected to see Jenny at the airport waiting for them. But surprise, surprise.

Gilbert's brow never unfurrowed. He was concerned something had happened to Jenny, given she wasn't the kind to go back on a promise, and she did promise to fetch them from the airport.

His friend said, "What're you worried about? She's probably unable to hear her phone ring because of how loud it is in the airport. Who knows, she might be waiting for us outside right now."

"You have a point. Let's head out then." Gilbert then went to the airport entrance.
