Chapter 1351:

? ? ? ? ?

Pretending to cooperate with the guard, Nicole deliberately spoke in broken Ambrosian, knowing the guard couldn't fully understand her. “Key… On the ground… I’ll distract… You go. Not looking back.”

Nicole's words touched on a final farewell. Each of them understood the harsh reality that they were defenseless against the bullets.

Nicole's only hope was to snatch the gun from the guard and sacrifice herself to give the other kidnapped girls time to escape. Although the girls knew the outcome was grim for Nicole, they had no other choice.

When asked if she regretted her self-sacrifice, Nicole would say unequivocally that she had no regrets, not even the slightest. Saving so many kidnapped girls made any sacrifice worth it.

Nicole's only regret was not saying goodbye to her son. Aware of her failings as a mother, she hoped Austin would forgive her for her shortcomings. In the end, she couldn't even win custody of him.

With each step she took toward the cabin, Nicole's feet felt as if they were imprinted by a thousand-pound iron chain.

The guard, sensing something strange, hit Nicole's back with the pistol, ordering: "Hurry..."

Suddenly, a sound echoed through the air. The guard fell to the ground without warning.

Still in shock, Nicole watched as the youngest of the girls grabbed a vine and forcefully strangled the guard.

Another girl joined her and together they fought with the guard.

Aware that their discovery would put them all in danger, they understood the gravity of the situation. With these kidnappers equipped with communication devices, alerting the guard would mean doom, even with a getaway vehicle at their disposal. At a decisive moment, the girls abandoned the car and chose to confront their adversary head-on.

Nicole was deeply touched. She had not anticipated that the frightened little girl from moments before would stand up to protect her.

The fight continued until the guard stopped resisting. Seeing that the threat had been neutralized, the occupants of the car calmly summarized their positions.

Nicole instructed two other girls to drag the guard to the back of the grass and temporarily hide him, ensuring that he would not be discovered immediately.

After completing the task, the two girls approached and Nicole gave them a thumbs up, expressing admiration for their bravery.

The girls responded: “Without your leadership, we would not have dared. Your courage has awakened hope in us.”

Nicole's eyes fill with excitement. “Let's run away together.”

"Okay, let's go together!"

Several hands clasped together tightly, united by trust.

At this moment, their hearts were beating as one, with only one belief. It was to escape.

Nicole removed the deceased lecherous man's clothes and discreetly put them on inside the car.

The lecherous man was bold, but self-conscious about his looks, and preferred hats as a means of concealment. This gave Nicole the opportunity to further conceal her identity. She had come up with a brilliant plan.

Nicole had found a pair of scissors in the car and had cut her hair. She then put on a hat and smeared ashes on her face. With these modifications, she looked very much like the lecherous man.

Staying in the car, she hoped to go unnoticed at the checkpoints.
