Chapter 3

Without waiting for me to say anything, he walked around me and left in large strides. I still have not recovered yet.

At this moment, there was a bowl of ginger soup on the dining table. The temperature was just right. For a moment, my heart was full of mixed feelings.

I vaguely recalled that in my previous life, he also took care of me while disliking me. I knew it was just because my mom and dad wanted him to take good care of me before they passed away.

Therefore, even if we argued to no end, he didn't hesitate to donate 600cc of blood after I was injured and hospitalized. Even if we had just said we would never see each other again, the next second, I was going to be hit by a car, he wouldn't hesitate to jump on me and push me out of the way.

He was just returning the favour with his life. Unfortunately, I always wanted him to give me his heart as well.

Sipping the ginger soup, which may be the last time I drink it, I suddenly remembered something. With a quick glance at the date, my heart clenched. I hurriedly put the bowl down, calling my men as I put on my shoes.

“Get to Alley 6 on 13th Street!”

It was still raining heavily outside. I rushed out without even being able to grab my umbrella. 

Relying on my memory, I arrived at the alley where Annette was violated in my previous life. Sure enough, there were a dozen tall men surrounding a girl at this time.

“Don't think that you don't have to pay back the money because your parents are dead. I have already given you a grace period until today. So, can't you get the money? Then pay me with your beautiful body!”

I shouted, “Stop!”

I hit the head of the leader with a beer bottle. Then I grabbed Annette's hand and ran outside.

“Oh, gosh!”

The rain was wet and slippery. It made Annette fall hard to the ground. I pulled hard a few times. But I failed to pull the person up. Unfortunately, the dozen men had already chased after her.

There was no way out. I shielded the person behind me. 

“Run! I'll hold you up!”

“I, I can’t.”

Annette seemed to be frightened. She hugged herself and shivered. 

I shouted firmly, “Run now!”

I struggled to fend off the incoming men. Even with ten years of Taekwondo training, I still couldn't stand the siege of more than a dozen men surrounding me.

I ordered, “I can't hold on for long! You go now and find the police!”

Annette said softly, “I am so scared. I can't move.”

Annette's voice trembled like no other. I clenched my teeth and kicked the man to buy myself a little time. I turned back and tried to pull the person up with force. 

Unfortunately, someone suddenly screamed and pushed me hard. The blade ran through my body. My breath was also caught in my throat.

“Oh, no. You are bleeding now.”

The leader didn't expect me to come crashing in. He obviously didn't want to make a scene. At the moment, his hand holding the hilt of the knife was a little unsteady.

I looked at Annette with wide eyes. She held her head and trembled as she looked at me.

“I’m sorry. I’m too scared.”

Gritting my teeth, I violently pulled out my knife. I turned around and swung it at those people. Originally, I didn't want to make a scene. But now seeing that I was mad again, the dozen or so people were so scared that they immediately scattered and fled in all directions.

I stumbled two steps and almost didn't stand still. The rain blurred my vision and hazily. There seemed to be footsteps rapidly approaching.

I subconsciously stretched out my hand to look for support, but a huge force pushed me. It made my back slammed heavily against the wall.

It was James. He held the trembling Annette in his arms. He then looked at me through clenched teeth.

“I have already promised to marry you, Karina. Why are you still driving people to extinction? Do you want to kill everyone?”

The wound was torn with piercing pain. I covered my chest and swallowed a mouthful of blood with difficulty.

“James, I'm not what you think.”

James shouted, “Shut up!”

He picked Annette up gently. “I will never believe a single word you say again, Karina, never.”

“James, please, help me.”

Annette trembled and leaned into his arms. James immediately lowered his head. At this moment, his eyes were full of heartache.
