Chapter 529 I''m Sorry, But I Can''t Do That
Caught off guard by the push, J fell down the stairs. The steps happened to be a little high and
there were no handrails on both sides.
Just when she was about to bump into the car, a tall figure grabbed her in time. The man stood
against the dazzling sunlight and his arm wrapped around her shoulder, protecting her.
After a sharp screeching and a woman''s scream of absolute horror, everything went back to silence.
L had no idea what had happened. Just as she was pushing J in front of the vehicle, she had
covered her eyes with her hands and her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
L thought it was simply some sort of harmless mistake. She only pushed J because anger
clouded her judgement and she had lost control of herself just now.
J wouldn''t really me her, right?
L peeled her hands from her eyes in fear and looked at the road. The timidity in her eyes was
dashed and there was only shock left behind.
L could make out two figures on the ground. J was curled up in Ethan''s arms. She was
shaking from head to toe out of fear and was sobbing.
Ethan was bending forward with blood sttered on his pants, dripping down from his clothes to the
ground.
He got close to J''s ear and told her words offort in a soft voice. L couldn''t hear clearly
what the words he was saying to J, but she could see how gentle he was treating her.
Seeing that J was safe, L turned around and was about to flee the scene.
"Stop right there!" Suddenly, she heard a stern voice call out.
She grew frightened as she swallowed a mouthful of saliva and turned around in fear. "What''s up?"
Ethan studied L from where he was.
"If you dare to take one more step, don''t me me if I make your life miserable." L was startled to
hear that.
Ethan didn''t spend the previous night in the White residence, and he felt lucky that he hade
early today to wait J outside her home. Just now, when he saw the car heading in J''s
direction, he immediately ran over and held her in his arms. They rolled on the ground and escaped
the car by mere inches. Because the car was driving on the road of a residential area, its speed
happened to be not very fast. It braked and stopped in time. Still, the wheel grazed Ethan''s leg,
which caused him to bleed.
Feeling shocked, J stayed in Ethan''s arms for a long time before she finally came to her
senses. Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest and she was sweating all over.

Tears welled up in her eyes when she saw the man who hade to her rescue. She touched
Ethan''s cheek and looked down at his leg subconsciously. The ground at their feet was covered
with his blood.
"You''re hurt, Ethan. Let me check it out!" After having said that, she hurried to roll up Ethan''s pants
to check his wounds.
Ethan stopped her. He lifted his hand and caressed her long hair. A smile popped up on his face
right then. "I''m fine."
He stared into J''s eyes and said in a doting voice, "What are you doing holding back your
tears? You can cry now."
After staring into his eyes for a long while, J suddenly threw herself into his arms as tears
streamed down her face.
She had originally wanted to pretend to act strong, but everything was so horrible that she was still
in a rtive state of shock.
Ethan saw through her at a nce and encouraged her to let out her emotions, lest she''s be
seriously traumatized. "Everything''s all right. I''m here now."
J had already forgotten that she had been angry with Ethan. She kept right on crying in his
arms.
Just now, he had rushed over to save her without any hesitation on his part. When he rolled away
with her to dodge the wheels of the car, he shielded her with his own flesh,pletely putting aside
his own safety.
"How could you be so silly? You put yourself in a lot of danger just now!" Jined in a
whisper.
Ethan kissed her hair lovingly and smiled. "Do you actually expect me to watch you get hurt and do
nothing? Sorry, but I just can''t do that."
