Chapter 267
The moment Elvira drove away, Zach regretted his decision. He knew there was no other choice now. Saving Alice couldn’t
wait.
As he watched her car disappear into the distance, Zach felt like his heart had emptied. He immediately ordered his people to keep close tabs on Elvira’s car. There could be no mistakes.
For the entire afternoon, Elvira was led around the city by Judy her car running low on fuel. Frustrated, Elvira called Judy again, her voice tinged with anger. “Where exactly are you?”
“Head toward the western docks,” Judy replied, providing another address.
After hanging up, Elvira immediately contacted Zach. “This new address seems real, the West District Docks.”
With the entire Jersten under Zach’s surveillance, he quickly contacted Spike and Samson, sending them to the scene from air, land, and sea.
When Elvira reached the docks, her legs were stiff from sitting too long. As soon as she arrived, she saw Judy on a yacht, with Alice bound beside her, the little girl’s mouth taped shut.
Elvira immediately stepped out of the car, but several armed men quickly surrounded her. One of them checked the car, ensuring there was no threat before unloading the money from the vehicle.
Judy sneered at Elvira, mockingly making a gesture as if she were about to throw Alice into the sea. Elvira quickly raised her hands in surrender, stepping onto the boat under the watchful eyes of the armed men.
By the time Zach, Spike, and Samson arrived with their men, Elvira had already been brought aboard the yacht, which was sailing away from the dock.
Elvira was brought to the deck. Alice began struggling fiercely when she saw Elvira. Judy shoved her to the ground, glaring at Elvira in anger. “Didn’t I tell you to come alone?”
“I am alone. I didn’t tell anyone.” Elvira lied, trying to avoid making Judy snap.
“You think I’ll believe you? Elvira, when you tried to set me up, did you ever imagine it would come to this?” Judy’s gun was pointed directly at Elvira.
“Judy, you can do whatever you want with me. I brought the money, not a cent less. I’m here, so let Alice go. I’m sure neither you nor the people behind you are really interested in a fight to the death, right?
“Let’s make a deal. Release Alice, and I’ll go with you. You have to show some good faith to Zach if you want him to let you go.” Elvira calmly proposed.
A gunshot rang out. Judy fired at Elvira’s feet. Elvira flinched but didn’t move, while Judy yelled in fury. “Now both you and this girl are in my hands. Who do you think you are to negotiate with me?”
“Judy, you’re going to be a mother soon. Consider it a way of establishing a good example for your child. If you don’t release Alice, Zach won’t let you go. She’s his niece.
“If you’re planning to go down with me, then fine. I’ll die with you.” Elvira slowly walked toward her.
“Stop! I said stop!” Judy screamed, firing another shot, this time hitting Elvira in the leg. Elvira felt a sharp pain in her leg but kept walking toward Judy.
Alice, seeing her bleeding, struggled even harder. Judy, now distracted, was barely holding her down. In that instant, Elvira swiftly pulled out a needle hidden in her necklace and injected Judy with poison. Judy froze for a second before collapsing
unconscious.

Zach quickly began performing CPR. Thanks to his swift actions, Alice regained consciousness soon after. The first thing Alice did when she woke up was to throw herself into Elvira’s arms, crying
“You’re hurt Cole quickly took off his jacket and began applying pressure to Elvira’s bleeding leg to stop the flow.
When Zach heard about Elvira’s injury and saw the blood pooling on the deck, his face turned pale. Elvira shook her head. “It’s nothing serious, just gunshot wound”
Her face and lips had gone pale from the shock, and the cold seawater from the night didn’t help. But she was just relieved that Alice had been saved. A little injury was worth it
“The helicopter’s coming We’re heading to the hospital right away? Zach ordered. He quickly pulled Alice aside. Cole had already wrapped up Elvira’s leg, and Zach gently lifted her up. Seeing her pale face made his heart tighten with every
beat
At the hospital, Alice was with Leonard, clinging to him. She was fine now, just a bit traumatized from the experience. She wouldn’t let go of Leonard, probably because he resembled the Gilbert family so much.
When Zach and Elvira were too busy to comfort her, she trusted Leonard completely.
Elvira’s leg required surgery, and since she was pregnant, she insisted on no anesthesia. She refused to let the doctors numb her and insisted they proceed with the bullet removal right away
The pain was so intense that even the strongest man would’ve been on the verge of passing out, but Elvira gritted her teeth, silent and steady, as the doctors completed the procedure.
Zach stayed by her side the whole time, holding her close. His heart was aching with every wince she made.
The surgeon was extremely focused on cutting, extracting the bullet, stitching, and stopping the bleeding as quickly as possible. Once it was done, he was drenched in sweat from the intensity of it all. After the surgery, Elvira passed out from the pain.
Cole had watched the entire procedure, his body tense, his hands clenched into fists behind his back. He wished he could have taken her pain for her. Once he was sure Elvira was stable, he turned and left without saying a word.
When Samantha arrived, the obstetrics department head had already checked on Elvira. To ensure the safety of the baby, they gave Elvira medication to support the pregnancy.
Samantha tried to rush into the room but was stopped by Samson, who gently held her back. “Elvira’s asleep now. Let her
rest
“I just want to see her for a moment,” Samantha said, pushing him aside and carefully entering the room. When she saw that Elvira was indeed asleep and Zach was keeping watch by her side, she quietly backed out without disturbing them.
After stepping out, Samantha went to speak with the department head to learn more about Elvira’s condition. The doctor

explained that Elvira had undergone surgery without anesthesia which left her in awe of her bravery.
It was unimaginable that Elvira could endure bullet removal without any painkillers.
Samantha felt a deep sympathy for her but was relieved to hear that both Elvira and the baby were safe.

Afterward, she went to find Samson, eager to understand what had happened and how Elvira had been fine earlier in the day but then ended up shot that evening.
