I Want a Divorce by Abigail Quinn

Chapter 32

Hailey walked quickly and peeked back. Similarly, those people also quickened their paces when they

noticed she and Oliver were walking faster.

At that point, it was apparent those men were after them. They even reached out and held the handle

of the knives at their waist.

Hailey was so frightened that her face turned pale. Aside from the surrounding strangers, she only

knew Oliver, who was holding onto her.

Similarly, Oliver was also super nervous. As he looked at the grim expressions of the people pursuing

them, Oliver thought they would be killed or disabled if they caught up with him.

At that moment, Oliver saw a man riding a motorcycle stopped to deliver goods to a stall. The man was

holding a paper and checking it with the stall owner.

Without a word, Oliver held onto Hailey, ran over, and got on the motorcycle. Hailey also quickly got on

and put her arms around Oliver’s waist.

With that, there was no time for courtesy as Oliver put the motorcycle into gear and floored the

accelerator.

It was not until the motorcycle had driven off a few feet away that the owner looked back. When the

owner realized that his motorcycle had been robbed, he shouted and started running to catch up with

them.

Meanwhile, the people behind Oliver also yelled and chased after them when they saw him take the

motorcycle suddenly and drive off.

However, how could human legs catch up with a motorcycle?

Oliver sped the entire way while Hailey hugged him tightly and turned to look at the people who were

chasing them. Seeing that they were pulling further away, she breathed a sigh of relief.

-Yet, before Hailey could tell Oliver the good news, two SUVs rushed out of the street. The group of

people quickly got into

the two cars and chased after Hailey and Oliver again.

“Damn it. T-They’re catching up in two SUVs!” Hailey shouted anxiously.

Oliver was checking out the terrain in front of him as he drove the motorcycle. At the same time, Hailey

was so nervous that’ she pinched his waist and shouted, “Hurry up. They’re catching up. They’re

catching up!”

At that moment, the people in the two cars did not bother to hide their intention anymore as they

shouted and waved their machetes from the window.

It was common to see fights and brawls on the streets in Manchernius. Thus, everyone else was

indifferent and avoided the chaos as possible as they could. No one called the police.

After all, everyone knew that those gangs had a close relationship with the officials. Thus, whoever

called the police was only bringing trouble for themselves.

Motorcycles had an obvious advantage over human legs. However, the advantage the two SUVs had

over the motorcycle quickly became apparent, and the distance between them was getting closer.

Hailey screamed in fear when she saw the fierce-looking men with machetes closing in.

Meanwhile, Oliver dodged to the left and drove into a branch road. In reality, it was not a branch road

but an earth road a little over three feet.

It was a mountain road, and the other two SUVs also came in after a sudden break and were still

chasing them.

However, the road was about three feet wide, with grassy verges on both sides. Thus, the SUVS

slowed down after they came

1.

The SUV shook back and forth because the grass was dense and covered with thorns, not to mention

the occasional stones.

On the other hand, Oliver didn’t slow down much on his motorcycle and drove into the forest in a flash.

At that moment, a blast was heard from the SUV in the front. It turned out that the right tire had collided

with a stone, and the tire burst with a loud blast.

The men got out of the car, shouting and fussing. Meanwhile, deep in the forest, the lights on the

motorcycle were flashing further away and disappeared after a few moments.

Still, Oliver didn’t dare to let his guard down and kept riding with his eyes looking straight ahead.

There was no road ahead anymore. Oliver was doing his best riding the motorcycle, avoiding the trees,

pits, and stones.

As a result, they fell into a waist-deep pit in the grass. Amid their miserable cries, they rolled onto each

other.

As soon as they fell, Oliver pushed the motorcycle away with all his might to avoid crushing Hailey and

him. Then, he pulled Hailey into his arms and covered her head and face with both hands to protect

her.

Once everything came to a stop, Oliver didn’t dare to make a sound as he hugged Hailey. Similarly,

Hailey didn’t dare to make a sound as well. The two held back the pain in their bodies and did not even

dare to breathe.

They still heard the shouting far away, but those sounds never got closer.

After a while, the voices pulled further away. Then, they were completely inaudible.

After waiting another ten minutes, Oliver said to Hailey in a low voice, “Ms. Fox, they might have left.

Don’t move. I-I’ll check first.”

It was already eight or nine o’clock at night. Thus, the sky was very dark, and the stars did nothing to

brighten the forest.

Oliver got up and quietly looked in the direction of the road that they came from. That place was at

least a few miles from Moulmore, so he couldn’t see any of it.

It was pitch-dark everywhere. Oliver touched his pocket and found his phone. He took it out and turned

on the flashlight. Then, he covered the light slightly and helped Hailey up.

Hailey’s face was pale. Fortunately, she was unharmed as Oliver protected her head and face.

Oliver stretched out his hand and pulled Hailey out of the pit, but Hailey fell again with a painful cry as

soon as she crawled

out.

Oliver reached out in time and held Hailey by the waist, but the two almost fell together. He then helped

her sit down and hurriedly checked with the flashlight.

No injuries were found anywhere on Hailey, but she cried in pain with her hands covering her right

ankle.

Oliver removed Hailey’s shoes and saw her red and swollen right ankle joint. It was probably sprained,

as she screamed in pain at the slightest touch.

Based on that situation, Hailey couldn’t walk anymore. In addition, the motorcycle had broken down,

and they had no idea if those people were guarding the foot of the mountain.

After some thought, Oliver called Fabian again. The call went through, but Fabian was not picking up.

“This guy had too much to drink. He must be sleeping like a dead pig. I guess there’s no way he would

answer the phone tonight,” thought Oliver.

When he saw Hailey’s pained expression, Oliver gritted his teeth and said, “Ms. Fox, let me carry you

down the mountain.”

Hailey shook her head and worriedly said, “What about those people? We… It’s better to wait until

sunrise and think of something then.”

“But your foot…” Oliver looked at Hailey’s foot worriedly.

Hailey clenched her teeth and endured the pain. “I’ll endure it. It’s not bleeding or broken. I’ll just have

to bear with the pain.”

Oliver didn’t know how to treat Hailey, so he could only watch her suffer.

Oliver felt anxious. He then noticed the plants around him and suddenly thought, “Since the

identification skills of my eyes can identify anything, can I identify herbs for a sprain?”

With that thought, Oliver quickly looked at the unknown plants.

Thatch and grass were definitely not herbs, so it was unnecessary to waste time on them. Many

species, such as trees, could be ruled out at once with the same method.

The identification message in Oliver’s mind was indeed useful as he looked at several kinds of plants.

However, he didn’t manage to identify any of the needed herbs.

Several plants later, Oliver discovered a Notoginseng. It was medicine, but not suitable for sprains.

Oliver then looked at a green plant lying on the ground, and a message appeared in his mind.
