Chapter 1259
Upon hearing this, Braylon’s voice also tensed up, “Okay, Mrs. Humphrey, I will go do it now.”
After hanging up Braylon’s call, I couldn’t help but feel a little heavy-hearted. What does it mean that Matthew deliberately avoided seeing Reynaldo and not answering Reynaldo’s calls? Was it intentional to make all of us anxious, or… trying to force me to contact him first? I looked at the card just now, lost in thought.
“Ah… mommy, mommy….”
Suddenly, a series of terrified cries rang out from the yard; it was Essie’s voice. My heart skipped a beat, and I hurriedly ran outside. Just as I reached the doorway, a massive black creature suddenly leaped past me. I fixed my eyes on it, and it turned out to be a Tibetan Mastiff. The scalp suddenly tingled. Essie, my Essie… I quickly looked around. The yard was in a mess.
The Tibetan Mastiff was really scary, and the bodyguards dared not get too close, so they had to use weapons to drive it away. Following Essie’s terrified cry, I saw two children being blocked by the bodyguards. Essie didn’t know if she was hurt or not; she fell to the ground, her face turning pale with fright. Roddy stood in front of her, his little face tense as he stared at the snarling Tibetan mastiff.
I hurried over, one hand protecting Roddy and the other holding Essie, anxiously asking, “What happened? Are you hurt? Quickly tell mommy if you are hurt.”
“Wu… Mommy, wu…” Essie was clearly stunned, crying non-stop while holding onto my neck. Roddy was also scared, with a pale little face, and his small hand tightly clutching my clothes, but he calmly replied to me, “Mommy, don’t worry, Essie and I are not hurt.”
Upon hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the bodyguard in front of me anxiously shouted, “Mrs. Humphrey, please take Mr. Roderick and Miss Estelle into the house.” At this moment, the bodyguards had already surrounded the Tibetan Mastiff in a circle. Perhaps because the bodyguards were all armed, the Tibetan mastiff did not dare to attack rashly but just snarled at the crowd. I lowered my gaze and quickly protected the two children as we walked towards the gate. There were also several bodyguards blocking the entrance, and Madisyn anxiously looked over in this direction behind the bodyguards.
However, just as I was walking with two children to the steps in front of the gate, suddenly, I heard a terrifying bark. My heart skipped a beat; I quickly looked over, only to see the Tibetan Mastiff leaping up and knocking down a bodyguard, then swiftly rushing towards me. I was instantly scared blank in my head, with only one thought in my mind: Essie and Roddy couldn’t have any trouble. Subconsciously, I shielded Essie and Roddy under me, with my back facing the Tibetan mastiff.
“Mrs. Humphrey!”
“Mommy!”
There were suddenly several terrified screams in the courtyard. I closed my eyes in fear, thinking that this time I was surely going to die, but to my surprise, a strange whistle suddenly sounded. The expected dreadful bite did not happen. Next to me, there was the sound of the Tibetan Mastiff panting. I turned my head in terror. Just now, the fierce Tibetan mastiff, who was just fierce and evil, is now sitting obediently on the side, with its mouth open and drooling, just wagging its tail.
The bodyguards quickly helped me, Essie, and Roddy up. Roddy was also frightened this time, his little hands tightly clutching onto my clothes. I comforted two children and looked towards the gate of the courtyard.
