My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 1350

Riding his motorbike, Quinton got onto the highway, but there was traffic along the way. Fire engines and police cars drove past, obstructing the entire viaduct. There was smoke rising up ahead, and it was said that there was a car accident.

He was extremely anxious. Lucky for him, he was on a motorbike, so other than the traffic police, he didn’t have anyone else to fear. He sped his way through the congested road, and in just a split second, he saw Sophia’s car parked on the roadside while she spoke to the two officers.

Fortunately, she’s fine.

Quinton got down from his bike and wanted to rush up and give her a hug, only to find that a car had stopped next to Sophia in the unopened bypass.

The car door opened, and Michael got down in a hurry.

“Hubby!” Sophia saw him and ran barefoot toward him.

Michael opened his arms wide and picked her up, then spun her around with the fierce joy of seeing his loved one survive a disaster.

Even the two traffic police couldn’t help but smile. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Look at the two of them!

Quinton paused for a moment, then suppressed the frustration he felt in his heart and slowly walked toward them.

As Michael studied Sophia, his heart was still beating fast. When he knew that something had befallen her, he nearly fell apart.

Sophia, however, didn’t dare to relax. All of a sudden, she asked, “Has Carmen been dismissed from school?”

Michael and Quinton’s hearts plunged.

If Jordan wanted to hurt Sophia to deal with Cooper, he wouldn’t let Carmen go!

At the entrance of the kindergarten, classes were about to end.

A group of people was waiting at the entrance to pick up their children. The parents that sent their children to this kindergarten were wealthy and respectable people, so the parents seldom came to pick up their children as drivers and nannies were assigned instead.

Standing amidst the drivers and nannies, the dashing Theo stood out from the crowd.

An older woman who was waiting beside him asked curiously, “Are you here to pick up your child? How old are they? Are they from the senior class or the junior class?”

Theo glanced at the woman emotionlessly, then answered in a cold and noble manner, “I’m here for my granddaughter.”

The woman was silent for a moment, then she looked at his handsome features several times before letting out a low, enigmatic chuckle.

He’s young, but his mind doesn’t seem to be working well.

As soon as the school bell rang and the kindergarten door opened, everyone rushed in like a tidal wave to pick up their kids. Theo was the first one in, and he got to Carmen immediately.

Carmen walked out carrying a school bag and a half-full, large water bottle. Recently, she had been trying to be an independent little girl, so she was insistent on not letting Theo take her schoolbag as

she believed that she should carry her own belongings. However, Theo still took the water bottle from her, conveniently unscrewing the lid and drinking water while he walked.

Holding Theo’s hand, she tried her best to recount what happened in the kindergarten today in a lisped tone. “I’m the first in my class to change teeth! How awesome is that? Sour Face has a secret girlfriend now, and he even gave me 5 bucks to keep it a secret! Also, Poppy and I both got little red flowers!”

When they arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten, the car was already parked there. Theo took Carmen’s hand to help her into the car, but she said, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I can go in on my own.”

As soon as Theo let go of her hand, an expressionless woman came scurrying over, aiming straight for Carmen. Her hands were outstretched to grab hold of Carmen, and at the same time, a hoard of parents carrying their children appeared out of nowhere and began squeezing their way around Theo as if trying to separate him from Carmen.

The woman almost had Carmen in her grasp, but Carmen didn’t seem to notice what was happening and was still trying to get into the car. Theo panicked and hurriedly threw the water bottle he was holding at the woman, causing her to stumble.

Theo used this chance to bump his way through the crowd of parents and children, then rushed forward as swiftly as the wind and kicked the woman on the back, sending her hurtling through the opened car door.

“Close your eyes,” Theo said immediately.

Carmen hurriedly closed her eyes and covered them with her tiny hands.

Theo swooped into the car and held the woman down. Something gleamed in the woman’s hand, and he realized that it was a small knife. She slashed at Theo several times, then realized that the man before her didn’t seem like any impressive bodyguard, but his reactions were unusually fast.

To Theo, the woman’s attempts at slashing him just made her look like a kitten trying to claw at someone. Theo avoided her attacks with incomparable agility and easily snapped the woman’s neck.

With a loud ‘crack’, she took her last breath.

The car had started to move, and Carmen sat obediently to one side, hugging her school bag with her eyes still closed. “Don’t open your eyes until we reach home, ” Theo said.

Carmen nodded.

Theo shoved the lifeless woman to one side and used the carpet to cover her up. He placed Carmen in the car seat and hastily told the driver, “Take the nine o’clock turn.”

The driver obliged and turned the steering wheel, driving into the corner where they then saw a dirty station wagon parked on the roadside.

As military personnel, Theo already knew the nearby areas inside out after picking Carmen up for the past few days.

Since the woman earlier wanted to kidnap Carmen, she would definitely have a car parked at the nine o’clock turning as it was the fastest way to leave the scene.

Theo knew that she would have accomplices. If he were the one coming to nab a child, he would plan four evacuation routes based on the areas nearby. He would have identified where was the best place to change vehicles, how many people were needed for each scheme, and how many cars were needed. He would have had it all figured out.

The station wagon must have left after knowing that their plan had fallen through, but Theo remembered the number on the license plate. Despite that, he didn’t want to chase after them because Carmen was still in the car.

However, he already had a three-dimensional strategic map of the surrounding areas in his mind. Picturing the enemy’s speed, the road conditions, and the traffic, he understood the other party’s actions like the back of his hand.

After instructing Carmen not to peek, he made a phone call. “Everyone, come over immediately. Guard intersections Z, H, Y, and R. Look out for the license plate D357X, but do not intercept; just tail them discreetly. Be careful not to alert them. Also, send me the surveillance footage of the several nearby blocks and report to me if there’s a situation.

“Harry, I’m sending you a license plate. Find out which monster it belongs to.”

“Joel, something has happened on my side. I’ll need you to come and handle it.”

After getting word of the incident at the kindergarten, Michael and Sophia hurried back. Carmen was already home; she was oblivious to what had happened earlier as she happily told Sophia about her day at the kindergarten.

Sophia hugged her, the joy of surviving a close brush with death still lingering in her heart.

This time, she wouldn’t let the matter rest!

She would not!

As for Theo, he had yet to return. After learning about the attack on Sophia, he went to look for the surveillance footage at that time and discovered the whereabouts of her pursuers. After connecting the two incidents, he decided to go after them personally with the aid of Michael and Quinton.

In the middle of the night, just after Sophia put Carmen to bed, Michael called her to say that the Fletchers, the Winstons, and the Mitchells had joined forces to take out all of the perpetrators.
