Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After … Chapter 683 Blood
1/15
Hearing Andy’s silence on the other end of the line, Daniel thought he was hesitating. “I hear you used to be from a wealthy family. Now they’re all gone except for this one sister. What’s wrong? Don’t care about your sister’s life anymore?”
“Give me the address. Don’t hurt her.”
“We’ll talk when you get here.”
After hanging up, Andy’s face turned deadly serious.
Daniel had quite a few men under him. Walking into their den would be like a lamb walking into a tiger’s cave. Given

Chapter 683 Blood how much they hated him, they definitely wouldn’t let him leave alive once he got there.
Moreover, Daniel had explicitly instructed him to come alone.
Andy knew better than anyone that going there would likely mean certain death.
If he wanted to make it out alive, he’d need to bring his men with him.
But lately, the authorities had been watching them closely. If such a large-scale operation caught their attention, their entire operation could be compromised… He had to consider all these risks.
In just a few minutes, Andy had made his
Chapter 683 Blood decision.
No matter what, he had to save Rachel.
He started walking toward the door.

Seeing Andy about to leave, Christopher anxiously said, “I’m coming with you!”
Andy didn’t even look at him.
Just as Meryl reached the stairwell, her phone started ringing.
It was Chandler.
Her heart fluttered as she quickly
answered.
Chapter 683 Blood
Chandler’s worried voice came through. “Rocky? Where did you see him?”

“At the mall. I bought a gift for Casey and picked up two ties for you. I’m about to head back now.”
“You went alone? Why didn’t you tell me you were going to the mall? What if something happened to you with your belly so big?”
Chandler’s brows furrowed as he told his driver to speed up. The sound of rushing wind came through the phone.
“I went with Gale. Besides, weren’t you busy looking for Rachel? I went to your study, but you weren’t there.” Meryl’s eyes dropped as she spoke.

Hearing the disappointment in her voice, Chandler felt a pang of guilt.
“Yes, I was looking for her because she’s been kidnapped by extremists. I’ve already called the police. But if you wanted to go shopping, you could have told me earlier. I would have made time to go with you.”
Meryl fell silent.
“Are you mad?” Chandler asked softly.
“No.”
“Then why aren’t you talking?”
“Don’t feel like it.”
Chandler sighed helplessly, “Andy’s death

was connected to me. For years, I’ve had recurring nightmares of killing him with my own hands, Meryl. It’s my demon.”
Of course, Meryl understood.
Chandler was a man with a strong moral compass. Years ago, he and Andy were kidnapped and held hostage by a gang of drug lords.
Though they were both taken, only Chandler made it back, something that still haunted him to this day.
The drug lords forced them to fight each other, telling them only one could survive. That period tortured Chandler so badly that he nearly lost his mind.
Andy’s mysterious disappearance left
Chapter 683 Blood
Chandler convinced that during his
mental breakdown, he must have killed Andy with his own hands.

The guilt Chandler carried for Andy had now transferred to Rachel.
At the very least, he felt responsible for Rachel’s safety.
While Meryl hadn’t experienced Chandler’s trauma firsthand and couldn’t fully understand his pain, she knew he was desperate to keep Rachel safe.
“Have you found her yet?” Meryl asked.
“If I had, I wouldn’t be getting such a headache,” Chandler rubbed his temples. “I’ll come meet you at the mall first. What’s the address?”
Chapter 683 Blood.
“Don’t bother. I’m done shopping and heading home anyway.”
As soon as Meryl finished speaking, she had already reached the underground parking garage.
The parking garage was huge, and as she headed toward her usual spot, a car suddenly appeared.

The high beams flashed on, making Meryl instinctively shield her eyes.
She was still wondering what kind of inconsiderate person would use their high beams in a parking garage when Dalton’s panicked voice rang out behind her. “Meryl, watch out!”

Meryl froze. The car was heading straight for her!
Everything happened in a split second as Meryl desperately looked for somewhere to hide.
She noticed it was a small pickup truck, and instead of slowing down as it got closer, the driver actually accelerated.
On the phone, Chandler sensed something was wrong and asked urgently, “Meryl, what’s happening?”
Meryl was in no position to answer.
Here she was, heavily pregnant and
completely vulnerable.
The driver clearly wanted her dead. When

she turned, they turned too, speeding up in pursuit.
It all happened so fast, and in her panic, Meryl had no clear escape route.
To make matters worse, maybe from the shock, she suddenly felt intense contractions.
The pain was excruciating.
She dropped to one knee, knowing she couldn’t escape, and turned her back to the approaching car, hoping her body could somehow shield her unborn child.
Seeing this, Dalton ran towards Meryl like a madman.
As he ran, he shouted at the people in the
Chapter 683 Blood
car, “Stop the car right now!”
But why would Rocky listen?
11/15
Rocky’s entire head was covered in black cloth, his face completely hidden except for a pair of bloodshot eyes.
Though he and Meryl grew up together, he felt nothing for her.
Plus, it was Chandler who had personally sent him to prison a year ago.
He wanted revenge!
Rocky was about to step on the gas.
“Bang!”
Out of nowhere, a man suddenly darted
Chapter 683 Blood
out from a nearby car.
The man appeared beside Meryl and collided head-on with the accelerating pickup truck.
12/15
The impact sent his body flying through the air before crashing heavily onto the truck’s windshield.
With his view blocked, Rocky had no choice but to slam on the brakes.
Even though the man had acted as a buffer, Meryl wasn’t in good shape either.
She clutched her stomach, dropping to one knee. Her lower back had hit the truck’s bumper.
It hurt so badly…

Blood trickled down her legs as Meryl’s face turned ghostly pale, cold sweat beading on her forehead from the pain.
Thankfully, in a split second, the man had rushed over, and he’d managed to pull her slightly to the side. Otherwise, the outcome would have been even more devastating.
“Meryl!”
Dalton rushed over and immediately checked on her condition.
When he saw Meryl bleeding, his heart raced as he pulled her into his arms.
“Don’t be scared. I’m taking you to the hospital right now – I’ll drive you myself!”
Chapter 683 Blood
Dalton’s voice trembled, and his hands were shaking even worse.

He was entirely panicked, his mind barely able to function.
When he touched Meryl, Dalton realized his hands were covered in her blood.
He tried to lift her several times, but his nerves got the better of him, and he couldn’t manage it.
“Meryl, don’t scare me like this!” Dalton was on the verge of tears.
Meanwhile, Felix, who had just thrown himself in front of Meryl to stop the car, slowly got up from the ground.
Chapter 683 Blood
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He must have been injured.
