Chapter 258
He ran a few steps to my side and helped me up from the ground. His large hands trembled. as he wiped away the blood that kept flowing from the corner of my lips. The pain in his eyes was so deep and heavy.
He kept apologizing repeatedly and swiftly took off his clothes. He rolled them up to cushion them under my neck. Then, he turned around to join the fight.
The two men were already retreating under Colin’s furious onslaught. They were seeking an opportunity to escape.
With Felix joining in, the brothers became formidable. The two men were both knocked to the ground and continued to be beaten up.
They no longer had the chance to escape.
I struggled to sit up and assess myself. Thankfully, my clothes were intact. Except for the injury to my tongue, everything else seemed fine.
This was the second time Colin appeared when I needed him the most. He kept me safe and protected my innocence.
Colin delivered a fierce kick to the taller man. It was only until the two men had completely lost their ability to escape that Colin ran toward me again.
The moment he held me in his arms, I cried bitterly, feeling aggrieved and scared.
For a long while, he gently patted my back to comfort me. My tears ended up wetting his shirt on his shoulders.
“Everything’s fine now. Don’t be scared. Why is there so much blood? Be good and open your mouth. Let me see. It’s such a big wound, and it’s still bleeding. I’ll bring you to the hospital now.”
Without any hesitation, Colin lifted me. Felix wanted to stop him, but upon seeing Colin’s fierce and cold gaze, he turned away. He was unable to say a word.
Two equally outstanding men stood facing each other on a silent battlefield, one wanting to stop the other from leaving. They were silently confronting each other.
Everyone was clear about the truth in front of us and who was pulling the strings behind the scenes. It was so obvious that it didn’t need to be pointed out.

After all, what happened to me this time seemed closely related to Felix.
If he hadn’t repeatedly pestered me, causing Lilac to misunderstand and refusing to explain things to her, would I have suffered like this?
Moreover, this incident was far worse than the last time.
A beating was nothing compared to being violated. If I had been violated, I would have a stain on my reputation for a lifetime. I would never be able to hold my head up again.
Because in the eyes of the world, victims were always the weak ones. They often became objects of ridicule and contempt.
Lilac wanted to ruin my life.
Lilac’s viciousness was beyond my imagination.
She might look gentle and delicate, but she had a cruel heart. It seemed that she wouldn’t stop until I was dead.
But what had I done to deserve her hatred?
I didn’t want to know why Felix came, but it was a fact that he indirectly brought disaster upon me. I had to avoid him at all costs.
Finally, Felix was the defeated party in this confrontation. He took a step back, making way for Colin and me.
My bloodied face was leaning against Colin’s chest as he wrapped his arms tightly around me. It was as if he were protecting a treasure, as if I would disappear if he let go
of me.
Even when lying in his arms, I could feel his arms and the rest of his sturdy physique trembling slightly. It was out of worry, distress, regret, and fear.
He placed me in the passenger seat and rushed me to the hospital.
Along the way, he kept talking to me, trying to find something to say. My tongue was hurting terribly, so he just said, “Lulu, you don’t have to answer me. Just blink if you hear
me.”
I knew he wanted me to stay awake. He was afraid that I would fall asleep and never wake up again.
Warmth slowly filled my chest, warming my whole body and my heart. Moments ago, I had just made up my mind to die.
