My Stubborn Mistress - Chapter 286

Chapter 286




Witnessing the car burning, Madison now could imagine how the books told the death of Cassie's parents .

Levi, on the other hand, was astounded to everything that happens . And now, he pats Quinn's right shoulder to ask .

"What we should do now, brother Quinn?"

Still weeping, Madison plead . "Please, don't leave her alone! We can't leave her here!"

"I could never do that or will either . But where we can take her safe? We are not familiar in this place," Quinn retorted .

"And what happened next?" He asked .

"Where is the nearest hospital here? We are clueless on this part . " Levi asked, reflecting the story in the book .

"Someone is coming, brother Quinn! We must leave now," Levi then notices a pick-up truck arriving, then parked next to the car they rode .

"I know . But—"

"It's Martin!"

Madison recognizes the man stepping out of the car, but not the other one from the passenger seat . That man keeping an eye at the other car crashes on the sideways when they heard gunshots .

It seems, someone survives from that crashed and now shooting at the newly arrived men . Meanwhile, Levi and Madison talk about this opportunity to leave .



Quinn kneels on the ground . "Go, you both leave first," he told them .

"What? Are you going to stay? You can't do that, brother Quinn!"

Quinn looks up at Levi, then glance above the road where gunshots continue . "Am not . I will follow sooner, so just leave now," he persuaded them .

Madison and Levi exchange glances then nodded at each other . They went to hide in a distance and peeking; watching keenly at Quinn .  

He stays behind to make sure that Cassandra was safe . He cannot just leave her here .  

"Cassandra, can you hear me?" Quinn combs the hair that covers Cassandra's face .

The young girl moaned . She tried to open her eyes but the daylights blinding her . Quinn could see her eyelid moving, then halfway she forced to open her eyes .

"Who— who are you?" Stammered, she asked; having difficulty breathing .

"Cassandra, stay awake! Please!" he begs .

"Quinn?" she takes a deep breath, chasing air . "Is that you? Why did you?" the little girl somewhat surprised and confused . She was talking about Quinn on the phone earlier, then why there is Quinn beside her?

Putting her down on the ground gives him a heavy heart to just leave her here . However, he does not come from this life, which never exists anymore in his present and past life according to Levi and Madison . But it feels so real . Her soft, fragile body, he could feel how real she in his arms .

"Cassandra, please, stay alive!"



"Quinn?" After she says his name, she lost consciousness .

His heart throbbed; feeling strange calling by someone from the life that doesn't exist anymore, but he has the real one back there .

He must not become distracted and concerned about all he experienced right now .

Martin is now approaching them, and he notices the gunshots are over .

"Cassie!"

The guy coming down the cliff, creating longer strides toward them .

He immediately asks . "Who are you? How is she?"

"Please, take care of her . Don't let her die . "

While telling this, Quinn rose from the ground and turn around; fighting the tears from his eyes .

"Tell me, who are you? Did you save my niece?" Worried about Cassie, Martin asked the man he saw earlier holding her . Martin kneels on the ground and checks her pulse .

"I have to bring her to the hospital! Her pulse is weaker . "



"Please, let her live . Soon, someone will look for her . " He said before he walks away .

His steps are heavy, feel like; a part of him left behind . He doesn't know how long he has been walking in this forest . Until he feels a hand was grabbing him .

"Brother Quinn, are you okay?" Levi is shaking Quinn's shoulder after he wasn't waking up .

He heard someone asking . Quinn blinks his eyes a few times before realizing that they went back . He reaches his head when he notices the blood on his hands .

Then that was real . He thought . Quinn's face twinges and anger registered all over his face .

Madison and Levi watch Quinn, still sitting on the floor for a little longer now . They heard him groan in frustration till he cries out but control his voice .

Yes . Quinn felt so much frustration . Even if it's not real but for him, that was like a reality . There is no doubt . The blood on his hands and clothes is real .

And that fragile body bathing with blood and feels losing a life is the person he loves in this life .

"Wait, we must make a fire!" Madison suddenly remembers this . "Levi, get more woods!"

"Huh? Where? Why?"

"Just do it!" Madison began to start a fire in the fireplace found in the living room .

Levi confused, but still went to the kitchen and search for the door Madison instructed him . He opened the storeroom and greeted a spacious base where stored random stuff, he spotted the firewood pile up . Levi picks up the wood . When he came back, he helped Madison to set big fire as she requests .

"Now give me your coat, Mr . Williams!"

"Why?" Levi who asked .

"We must burn his coat . We should bring nothing that has a trace of the people from the life that no longer exists in this world," she firmly informed him .

"Is that so? Why is that?" It was Levi who asks the random questions .

Madison sighed . "I don't know why… this is unclear to me yet, I want the answer either . And more information about this thing that I could do . "

"Truthfully, I do not understand everything why this is happening," she added .

Quinn lazily took off his coat and handed it to Madison . Once again, he stared at his hand stained with blood . How is this all possible? Quinn keeps looking at his hand when he felt the tap on his back .

"Go, and wash your hands, brother Quinn . "

Saying this, Levi escorted him to the washroom . Quinn entered inside and wash his hands . He was gaping at the water, which now turns red . Still feeling overwhelmed, he clenches his knuckles and watches his reflection in the mirror .

He found traces of blood on his face when Cassandra tried to reach his face .

'What happened to her after then? What is the whole story on those books?' His mind occupied when he was back to his senses hearing Levi's knocks on the door .

"Brother Quinn? Are you all right?"

Quinn opens the door, but he stays silent and with a serious gaze he looks at Levi straight eye then asked . "I want to know what the hell is going on, Levi . "
