Delayed Regrets: He Regretted Only After Her Death-Chapter 160: You Two Should Get Married Already

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: You Two Should Get Married Already

Tiana’s heart was about to shatter.

She was afraid Uncle Cameron would harm Daisy.

A massive panic engulfed her, yet there was nothing she could do.

The cloth covering her mouth became increasingly pungent.

Her head grew dizzier, her body weaker.

Finally, she collapsed softly onto the car floor.

Only then did Uncle Cameron release his grip, looking at Tiana, then at Daisy.

"You all have to die!"

Uncle Cameron was meticulous.

Along the way, in the monitoring blind spots, he changed cars twice.

Even if the police started investigating, it would take them some time to find out where he’d taken The Linden Family.

The car drove continuously for over an hour.

It kept going until more than a hundred kilometers away.

When Tiana opened her eyes again, she found Daisy bound right in front of her, her small arms and legs tied, her little head drooping, still unconscious.

Instinctively, she wanted to leap forward and hold Daisy, only to realize her own limbs were tied up.

She couldn’t move at all.

Her mouth was also tightly gagged.

Beside her, Uncle Cameron sat there coldly.

A pair of eyes filled with murderous intent stared intently at her.

This wasn’t the kind, gentle, cheerful Uncle Cameron she knew.

He was a demon.

She widened her eyes and looked at Uncle Cameron, her eyes reflecting sheer terror.

She didn’t understand why Uncle Cameron had kidnapped her and Daisy.

The unknown fear sent chills down her spine.

Cold sweat seeped from every pore of her body.

Uncle Cameron looked at her and asked calmly:

"Tiana, do you know why I brought you and Daisy here?"

Why he kidnapped them.

How could Tiana know?

It’s to blame Uncle Cameron’s well-disguised presence in The Linden Family.

She had no defenses against him.

Uncle Cameron continued:

"Thirty-one years ago, James Linden hit a little boy over a year old with his car."

"Not knowing whether the boy was dead or alive, he had someone throw him into the remote mountains, destroyed all evidence, and bribed the police."

"Even if he had an ounce of compassion to send the boy to the hospital for rescue, this current ending wouldn’t have happened, even if rescue failed."

"Tiana, do you know? Sharon Sullivan is my wife, and Vivian Linden is a child we took together."

"Letting Vivian drive a wedge between you and your father was part of our plan too."

"Watching The Linden Family fall apart, every one of you meeting a bad end, is the only thing that can console my son’s spirit in heaven."

"Tiana, you’re actually a very good child."

"You and Daisy are both innocent."

"Blame it on the blood of The Linden Family running through your veins."

"You all have to die."

A person seeking vengeance is without reason. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Tiana knew that today she and Daisy were destined for doom.

Her heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

As a mother, watching her child bound hand and foot, mouth gagged.

So pitifully fallen before her.

Even at death’s door, she couldn’t be afraid.

She had to stay calm, but her mind was a mess, without a plan.

At this moment, she could only think of Hector Chaucer.

Gordon Lowell hadn’t picked up her and Daisy, Hector would definitely find them, right?

Just as she felt uncertain, the bumpy car came to a stop deep in the mountain forest.

Outside the window, there was an abandoned tin house.

Covered with rust everywhere.

It seemed this place had been deserted for many years.

Tiana and Daisy, mother and daughter, were carried into the tin house by Uncle Cameron and Sharon Sullivan.

Only then did Tiana see that James Linden and Daniel Linden were also there, their hands and feet tied as well.

Uncle Cameron had used the same lie to deceive Daniel and James into getting into the car.

They made muffled noises when they saw Tiana and Daisy being carried in.

Uncle Cameron first yanked the cloth out of Daniel’s mouth, and Daniel glared at him angrily, "Don’t you dare hurt my sister and my niece."

Without a word, Uncle Cameron pulled out a knife and stabbed Daniel hard in the left shoulder.

The blade went in white and came out red, causing Daniel to scream in pain.

After the stab, Uncle Cameron looked at James Linden with eyes full of hatred:

"James Linden, your family of four is gathered."

"I’ll make you watch your son, daughter, and granddaughter die before you one by one."

"I’ll make you taste the pain of losing loved ones and your family ruined..."

Daniel couldn’t imagine that Uncle Cameron, always kind and benevolent, had been lurking in The Linden Family for thirty-one years.

At this moment, Daniel wished nothing more than to kill Uncle Cameron.

But he also knew that in such a critical moment, he couldn’t further provoke Uncle Cameron and Sharon Sullivan.

He endured the intense pain in his shoulder, moved his bound feet, and knelt with a thud before Uncle Cameron.

"Uncle Cameron, my dad ran over your son thirty-one years ago. He’s the one in the wrong."

"I’ll repay for your son’s life. Kill me, let go of my sister and my niece, alright?"

"My sister has lived a hard life; she’s innocent, and so is Daisy. Let them go, please, I beg you."

Blood trickled down Daniel’s shoulder, streaming down his chest.

His clothes were soaked in a large patch.

All in blood.

To Tiana, he seemed like the Daniel from childhood, always shielding her from everything, not letting her suffer in the slightest.

In the next moment, Uncle Cameron kicked Daniel hard in the chest, "They’re innocent, and my son isn’t? Today you all must die."

At this moment, Daisy woke up.

Her small body was tied, unable to move.

She could only helplessly look at Tiana, who was also bound, "Mmm mmm..."

She wanted to call out for her mom.

But with something in her mouth, she couldn’t.

Tiana also wanted to yell: Daisy, don’t be afraid, Mommy’s here.

But she couldn’t get the words out either.

She crawled on the ground, inching her bound body closer to Daisy little by little.

Daisy also crawled, laboriously shifting her small body on the ground.

At this moment, Sharon stepped on Tiana’s hand and yanked Daisy up, "Honey, stop wasting words with them. Kill the mother and daughter first, then Daniel. Doesn’t James love his daughter the most? Let him taste what it’s like to see his most beloved child die in front of him."

As she spoke, Sharon tossed Daisy aside, and picked up a bucket of gasoline, pouring it over Tiana and Daisy.

The thick gasoline poured on Tiana and Daisy, the stench almost suffocating the mother and daughter...

After pouring the gasoline, Sharon Sullivan looked at Uncle Cameron, "Honey, give me the lighter."

"Okay." Uncle Cameron responded, taking out a lighter and was about to throw it to Sharon Sullivan.

At the critical moment, James Linden and Daniel Linden stared wide-eyed and fixated on the lighter.

As the lighter was tossed up, James Linden mustered all his strength and charged at Uncle Cameron.

They couldn’t let his daughter and granddaughter be harmed.

These years had been so tough for Tiana and Daisy.

He hadn’t had the chance to make it up to them yet.

It didn’t matter if he couldn’t obtain their forgiveness, but James Linden was willing to risk his life to protect them.

Uncle Cameron was almost knocked over by the hit.

But Uncle Cameron was in good shape.

For the past thirty-one years, in order to get revenge, he had been working out daily and practicing martial arts.

It was all for this day of revenge.

Uncle Cameron quickly kicked James Linden, sending him sprawling.

Meanwhile, Daniel Linden used all his strength to pounce on the lighter on the ground, pressing down on it firmly.

He couldn’t let Sharon Sullivan pick up that lighter and harm his sister and niece.

He lay on the ground, pressing down on the lighter, as Sharon Sullivan kicked him, "Get off."

Impatiently, Sharon Sullivan stabbed into his back, "Move."

A stab went in white, came out red.

But Daniel Linden, lying on the ground, didn’t budge an inch; instead, he pressed down harder.

He knew that pressing down on the lighter like this was futile.

Because their family of four was all tied up, while Uncle Cameron and Sharon Sullivan had red eyes from the kill.

However, he couldn’t let his sister and niece die before him.

When he was four, he promised his mom that he would protect his sister with his life in the future.

As the dagger pierced Daniel Linden’s back again, he looked at Tiana with sincerity in his eyes:

"Tiana, I’m sorry, your brother couldn’t protect you today."

Tears streamed down the corners of Daniel Linden’s eyes.

He cried, and so did Tiana, seeing Sharon Sullivan stab Daniel Linden again made her scream, "Daniel Linden, you idiot, move, or she’ll kill you."

"Tiana, can you forgive your brother?" Daniel Linden, blood spilling from his mouth, looked at her painfully, pleading for her forgiveness.

Tiana shook her head, "I haven’t forgiven you, just move."

Just as Sharon Sullivan was about to stab Daniel Linden again, the door of the tin house creaked open.

Smelling the strong gasoline scent, the three people who entered simultaneously thought: Oh no!

Soon, Hector Chaucer saw Tiana and Daisy soaked wet.

The gasoline smell was coming from the mother and daughter.

It was at this moment that Sharon Sullivan kicked the injured Daniel Linden away and pulled out the lighter he was pressing down on tightly, standing up.

"Don’t come closer, or I’ll burn them alive."

The lighter in her hand made Hector Chaucer, Gordon Lowell, and Aiden Grant stop immediately.

The next moment, an unidentified object flew through the air.

Before anyone could see what it was, the phone Hector Chaucer threw had already forcefully knocked the lighter from Sharon Sullivan’s hand.

At this crucial moment, Gordon Lowell sprinted from a standing start, quickly grabbing the lighter on the ground in a few strides.

Meanwhile, Aiden Grant and Hector Chaucer lunged at Tiana and Daisy, the mother and daughter.

Hector Chaucer squatted down and picked up Tiana.

At that moment, Tiana cried out muffledly.

Hector Chaucer pulled the cloth out of her mouth, holding her in his arms, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here now, it’s okay, it’s okay."

He patted Tiana’s back, over and over again.

Tiana had just survived a mortal peril, and her whole body was weak.

When she spoke, her tongue almost tied in knots, "Dai, Daisy..."

Beside her, Daisy had already been picked up by Aiden Grant.

Aiden Grant, seeing Daisy covered in gasoline, her hair a tangled mess, mud all over her clothes, felt his heart break.

"Daisy, I’m sorry, dad is late."

He quickly pulled the cloth from Daisy’s mouth and untied the rope on her.

He held Daisy tightly in his arms.

But at this moment, Daisy struggled, crying and calling out, "I want mom and my dad..."

By dad, she meant Hector Chaucer.

Aiden Grant knew.

The little girl wanted to throw herself at Hector Chaucer.

Aiden Grant felt powerless.

Hector Chaucer untied the rope around Tiana and quickly wrapped both mother and daughter in his arms.

At this time, Gordon Lowell had already started fighting with Uncle Cameron.

Clearly, Uncle Cameron was no match for Gordon Lowell.

Seeing Uncle Cameron about to lose, Sharon Sullivan swung her knife at Tiana’s back.

Hector Chaucer blocked with his long arm.

The knife cut into Hector Chaucer’s arm.

The next moment, Sharon Sullivan was kicked away by him...

When Aiden Grant rushed forward, it was already too late.

Only then did he realize that there was already a Hector Chaucer by Tiana’s side, a man who would rather take a knife than let Tiana suffer a single cut.

He too was willing to block the knife for Tiana.

He just hated himself for being far away just now; otherwise, he would be the one blocking the knife for Tiana at this moment.

...

Two hours later, the group returned to the city center.

Uncle Cameron and Sharon Sullivan were subdued.

Daniel Linden was undergoing emergency treatment.

Several hours later, Daniel Linden was out of danger.

Outside the ward, Hector Chaucer looked at James Linden who walked out the door and asked, "How is Daniel Linden?"

"He’s out of danger now." James Linden answered, then asked, "Hector Chaucer, are you sincere with Tiana? If you are, I agree to let you marry Tiana, provided she is willing to marry you too."

James Linden had seen how well Hector Chaucer treated Tiana.

The last time, Sharon Sullivan tried to stab Tiana from behind, Hector Chaucer grasped the sharp blade, saving Tiana from disaster.

And this time, it was the same.

James Linden thought, a man willing to block the knife for Tiana must be loving Tiana with his life.

He always thought that leaving Tiana to Aiden Grant was the best choice for her.

But it wasn’t so.

Aiden Grant was overly suspicious, not steadfast.

All these years, he and Daniel Linden had done many wrong things to Tiana.

But was Aiden Grant any different? If Aiden Grant had firmly believed in Tiana back then, she wouldn’t have suffered so much.

After this ordeal, James Linden saw who was truly the best man for his daughter.

"Hector Chaucer, if you both have mutual feelings, you should quickly plan the wedding."

"As a father, I should also give Tiana a grand wedding and let her marry a man worthy of her for a lifetime."

At this moment, a cold voice abruptly sounded behind them, "I do not agree."
