My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 1274

Elizabeth snatched up her phone, fingers flying across the screen as she messaged the unknown number. Show us Emily Blair. We need proof she’s safe, and have you taken care of the wound on her arm?

Finally, Tristan’s face changed. He looked shaken for the first time. “You…”

Elizabeth glanced at him, her voice steady. “Emily’s cut is serious. It needs to be bandaged now. If you don’t, she could go into shock before we even get to her.”

Tristan hesitated, then lowered his voice. “You’re right. I should have thought of that sooner.”

Elizabeth’s eyebrows knit together. Even now, with everything falling apart, Tristan was still blaming himself.

In her heart, she thought, Emily, when you come back, you better remember how much Tristan cares about you. Remember it forever. Don’t you dare take his love for granted.

The reply came fast from the stranger. Are you giving me orders now?

That one line made both Tristan and Elizabeth’s hearts drop.

Elizabeth typed back. If you can’t guarantee Emily’s safety, how are we supposed to help you?

The answer was instant. I’m not stupid. I know what matters. Emily Blair won’t die, but if you keep talking nonsense, I’ll cut her again.

Elizabeth was so angry she bit her lip until it bled.

“Don’t pay attention to him,” Tristan said quietly. “Keep filming.”

Just like before, Elizabeth and the other three men turned their faces away, refusing to look at Tristan kneeling by the car. It was the only dignity he had left.

The wait felt endless this time.

Benjamin’s hatred for Andrew Lane ran deep.

He had trusted Andrew with Isabella, and all he got back was a broken girl thrown in jail.

It was beyond unforgivable.

Anyone else listening to Benjamin’s thoughts would have probably burst out laughing.

Everything Isabella did, she did by choice. No one forced her. Anybody else would have walked away, not protected her.

But Benjamin just wanted to blame everyone else for what Isabella had done.
