But in the end, it was toote.


    As Darren yelled out, the man’s dagger stabbed ra directly in the arm.


    “Ahh…”


    The excruciating pain caused ra’s body to shiver, staggering, she fell to the ground.


    At the same time, Darren had finally rushed to the man and swung his fist across without saying a word!


    Russell was a soldier and was always very strict with his children and grandchildren, who had been taught essential martial arts and karate since they were young. The man was knocked to the ground with a punch.


    “ra!” Darren didn’t even bother to look at the man on the ground. He just quickly rushed to ra, who had fallen to the ground and picked her up.


    Looking at her pale face and red silk shirt, Darren felt as if his heart had been hammered by something!


    The next second, he looked around at the stunned crowd and shouted, “What are you doing standing there? Call an ambnce!”


    Only then did everyone wake up as if from a dream, trembling while rushing to dial the ambnce number.


    Darren held ra tightly, who was ufortable with his sudden closeness and whispered, “Don’t be so nervous. It’s just a small wound on the arm. Let go of me. Everyone’s watching.”


    But Darren, as if he couldn’t hear her, just held his hand over her bleeding wound, shuddered, and shouted in anger, “ra, you’re an idiot! Do you have any idea how dangerous that situation was? Why did youe at me?”


    Darren seemed to have forgotten that there were people from thepany watching, that he had been loathing ra the other day, and that ra had betrayed him two years ago.


    At the moment, all he could see was ra’s ghastly white face and the bright red blood.


    And…


    ra’s words, “Darren, look out!”


    ra looked at Darren in front of her, and for a moment, she was dazed.


    At this moment, she suddenly felt that the Darren in front of her had changed back to the Darren she was once familiar with.


    Not the Darren in the suit who was always sneering at her, but the Darren in the white shirt and jeans giggling at her on his bike in the schoolyard.


    Darren didn’t seem to notice the change in ra’s eyes and was still scolding her in annoyance, “ra, you silly girl! What kind of gantry are you trying to disy?”


    ra froze, and then suddenly couldn’t help butugh.


    The smile was a bitter one.


    She remembered that Darren had loved to say that about her when they were studying together.


    Whenever she stayed upte to work on her schrship, she stood up for a female student in the same faculty who was not treated fairly, and she went on a long run for the sports day even though she had her period…


    He would have hugged her angrily and said heartily, “ra, do you remember you’re a girl!”


    At that moment, the ambnce sounded outside, and without saying a word, Darren picked ra up directly across the room and walked out quickly with her in his arms, ignoring the gasps and shocked stares of the people around him.


    In Darren’s familiar embrace, ra was lost in thought again.


    For a moment, she felt as if she had been transported back to that summer three years ago, when, still on her period, she had participated in a long-distance race and fainted from the pain at the end. Darren had tumbled down from the stands, picked her up and rushed to the infirmary…


    ra was a little deterred from thinking more about it.


    The more you remember some things, the more they reflect the hopelessness of today.


    The ambnce quickly took ra to the hospital. ra wanted to leave after having her wounds treated on the spot, but Darren, who was making a big deal out of it, used his identity and asked for a private room, making ra protest to no avail.


    As shey down in the ward reluctantly, Darren went to pay for the treatment. ra was thinking of how to sneak away when her mobile phone suddenly rang.


    ra shivered when she saw the caller ID.


    It was Horace.


    ra was a bit afraid to tell Horace about her injury, but she couldn’t answer his call, so she picked up.


    “Hello…”


    “ra, where are you?” Horace’s low voice rang out over the phone.


    “I…” ra’s voice couldn’t help but drop a few notches, “I’m at the hospital.”


    “The hospital?” Horace’s voice on the phone suddenly sank, “What are you doing in the hospital?”


    “Um… I got injured, but no big deal.” ra didn’t want to lie to Horace, and with this bandage so obvious, she was sure he would see it when she got home, so she had to be honest.


    “Injured?” Horace’s voice suddenly rose sharply, “What hospital are you in?”


    “Pine Valley Medical Center.”


    It was only ten minutes after the call hung up that Horace’s wheelchair appeared at ra’s door, in such a hurry that ra was even worried that he might just get up and run on two legs.


    As soon as Horace entered the ward, he saw the thick bandages on ra’s arms, and his face turned grim.


    His wheelchair slid swiftly in front of ra, and his voice was a little cold, “ra, is this the minor injury you were talking about?”


    ra scowled in fear and looked cautiously at Horace, “You’re angry?”


    Horace was indeed angry.


    Very angry.


    Angry at ra. She couldn’t even take good care of herself!


    But his worry overshadowed his anger when he looked at ra’s pale face.


    “Never mind.” Horace’s tone finally softened, “How did you get hurt?”


    ra’s face froze, suddenly a bit unsure of how to answer.


    Was she going to say that she had taken the knife for Darren?


    Then Horace would probably be even angrier, wouldn’t he?


    Just as she was thinking about how to answer, the door to the ward suddenly opened, and Darren walked in, looking so worried that he didn’t even notice Horace next to him, and said, “ra, the hospitalization procedure ispleted, and the police have caught the man who attacked me, so you don’t have to worry about it. Just have a rest-”N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    Darren was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly noticed Horace in the room and stopped his words.


    The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became tense.


    “Darren?” The moment Horace saw Darren, his eyebrows raised slightly and his tone displeased, “What are you doing here?”


    Darren was not yet able to hide his temperament as invisibly as Horace. At this moment, seeing Horace’s expression, there was an uncontroble amount of oddity. However, he still replied, “A mob attacked me at thepany, and ra was injured trying to protect me, so I sent her to the hospital.”
