Chapter 119 Radiation
“Eva! I’m here, don’t be afraid!” Leonard’s voice, rough with anxiety, echoed through the metal shack. Even through the walls, I could feel his desperation. Looking out the small window, I saw him and the police rushing toward us.
Remembering what Lily said about the radiation, I yelled as loud as possible, “Don’t come in! The rocks are radioactive! Stay back!”
“”You bitch, you’re such a loudmouth!
Lily snarled and struck the back of my head with the hilt of her knife. I stumbled and fell to the ground.
Before I could steady myself, she yanked me up again, the tip of her knife waving menacingly in front of my face.
“Eva, don’t you want him to die with you? Wouldn’t that be great? Just like Romeo and Juliet, both dead for love. None of these love stories end well.”
Her twisted smile widened as she slapped me.
“Bitch, say one more word, and I’ll carve you up, piece by piece!” she threatened, dragging me to the corner of the room.
She then shouted out to Leonard, “If you want to save your wife, tell the cops to back off! I can tell your really don’t care about her life. You actually had the nerve to call the police, Leonard? Move them back, or I swear I’ll kill her! I’ll do it!” Lily kept shouting, and the louder her voice got, the more it showed her guilt.
Every time Leonard tried to enter the metal shack, the police held him back.
The police must have understood the real danger here after they tracked down the records of this abandoned piece of land.
Minutes passed, and then I heard a voice from outside, one of the officers speaking through a megaphone.
“Lily, you’re surrounded by armed forces. There’s still a chance for you if you release the hostage, and
surrender now,
“The stones inside have high levels of radiation. Specialists are on their way to handle it. The sooner you come out, the better your chances of survival,” Lily responded with a bitter laugh.
“Eva, do you think they’re stupid? Why would I go out there?”
I’m as good as dead. I killed Vera, I’ve done terrible things, and I even stole your jewelry. I’ve racked up enough crimes to know there’s no way out for me.
“But don’t you worry, I’m not going to kill you. I want you to live… long enough for your cancer to relapse for the third time,” she said as she laughed.
I closed my eyes, knowing she was telling the truth.
The police weren’t coming in because the radiation was really dangerous.
Lily had come prepared-armed with drugs. She had planned to kill both the delivery guy and me.
Suddenly, the metal door was kicked open, and I saw Leonard charging in.

“Lily! Let her go!”
He shoved aside the rocks blocking the entrance, and several officers rushed in behind him despite the warnings.
“Mr. Harmon, it’s dangerous in here. You need to leave! We’ll figure out a way to get Mrs. Harmon out.”
But Leonard ignored them, sprinting toward me.
“Leonard, get out of here! All of you, leave!” I shouted. I didn’t want him to put himself at risk. But he didn’t listen. He insisted on coming in. “Perfect,” Lily sneered. “Let’s all die together, then!”
She raised the knife high, aiming for my neck, I struggled with all my remaining strength, trying to escape her grip.
In an instant, Leonard grabbed the blade with his bare hand, blood dripping onto my face as the knife sliced into his skin.
A gunshot rang out, and the pressure of Lily’s hand on me loosened. I collapsed forward, my legs giving way beneath me. “Eva!”
Leonard cried, rushing to catch me. He pulled me into his arms while blood was still trickling from his hand.
“It’s okay. We’re getting out of here now. Everything’s going to be fine,” he whispered, his voice trembling as he held me close.
I clung to his hand as tears blurred my vision. But when I glanced at the ground, my heart skipped a beat- the rocks. I shoved him away in a panic. “Get out now, there’s radiation here!”
