Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 707 Soon, those few men smashed everything in the house. Only after they finished messing up everything did they leave with satisfaction.
About five minutes after they left, the suitcase was zipped open from inside.
Lucas crawled out with a pale face and red eyes. At the same time, he clumsily carried Suzie out. Her head was covered with blood.
âBrother, it hurts so badlyâ¦â Suzie looked at him in a daze with a packet of snacks in her hand.
âDonât be scared, Suzie. Iâll send you to the hospital right now.â Lucas was so anxious that tears trickled down his usually calm face.
As Lucas ran with Suzie on his back, he dialed 000 using his phone. Then, he called Catherine, âMommy, Suzie is injured.â
âWhat?!â
Catherine, who had just arrived at the hospital, was overwhelmed with frustration as soon as she heard Lucasâ words. âHow did she injure herself? Is it serious?â
âMommy, Iâll talk to you later. Suzie just fainted. Iâve called the ambulance and Iâm now sending her to the hospital.â Lucas sounded choked up.
Catherine knew Lucasâ personality very well. He would not be acting like this if Suzieâs injuries were not severe.
A wave of panic swept over Catherine, almost causing her to miss her footing.
By the time she hurried to the emergency room in another hospital, she saw Lucas standing weakly in the corridor alone. His arms and face were stained with blood.
The second he saw Catherine, he plopped into her arms while sobbing.
âMommy, it was my fault. I shouldnât have dragged Suzie into the suitcase and hidden inside with her.â
âDonât cry. Tell me what happened.â Catherine wiped away the bloodstains on his face in agony.
âShortly after you left, a few people barged into our house, so I went to hide in the suitcase with Suzie.
They didnât see us, but in the end, someone smashed all the things in our house. When he smashed the suitcase using a steel rod, it happened to hit Suzieâs head.â
Amid his tears, Lucasâ snot dripped. âSuzie was afraid of alarming them, so she didnât dare make a sound no matter how painful it was. Only after they left did I take her out of the suitcase.â
Catherine trembled with anger.
Never in her wildest dreams did she expect that someone would have the audacity to barge into her house.
She dreaded imagining what would have happened to these two little kids if Lucas had not reacted quick enough to the situation.
She was both heartbroken and guilty. As a mother, she had failed to protect them when they came back here.
Considering that Suzie was weak and afraid of pain, Catherine wondered how she had endured while hiding in the suitcase.
In an instant, Catherineâs eyes reddened in spite of herself.
âMommy, it was my fault. I shouldâve switched off the lights. I failed to take good care of Sister. How useless I am!â Lucas gnashed his teeth, his eyes conveying guilt and resentment. He hated how useless he was.
âLucas, stop blaming yourself. You did a great job. You were right to have left the lights on.â
Catherine pressed on his shoulders. âThose people must have been observing our house from downstairs. They knew that our lights were on, so if you suddenly switched them off, they would know that someone was hiding in the house. In that case, they would have found out that you and Suzie were in the suitcase. In the end, both of you wouldâve been injured.â
âMommy, who are those evil people?â Lucas asked while nestling in her arms. âI want to take revenge on behalf of Suzie.â
âYouâre too young to take action. Iâll do it for Suzie.â Catherine narrowed her eyes. She would not let those who had hurt Suzie off the hook.
At this moment, the doctor walked toward her. âThe kid has lost a lot of blood, but we donât have enough type AB blood here. Since youâre her mother, is your blood type AB too?â
âNo.â Catherineâs face turned ghastly.
