Chapter 78 She Was Injured for Protecting Me

But it was too late.

As Jeffrey shouted, the man’s dagger had slashed Betty’s arm.

“Ah…”

Feeling the piercing pain, Betty trembled and fell to the ground.

Jeffrey rushed to the man and punched him directly!

Old Bruce served in the army before, so he

had always been strict with his descendants.

Jeffrey and the other children learned basic

martial arts and karate since childhood. Just

now, he went blank with fear, but he made a quick move and brought the man down with

a punch after he responded.

“Betty!” Jeffrey ignored the man on the ground, rushed to Betty who had collapsed, and helped her up.

Looking at her pale face and her silk shirt that had been dyed red by blood, Jeffrey felt

like his heart was severely punched!

The next second, he quickly looked around at the people who were scared stiff and shouted, “What are you doing? Call an ambulance!”

The others responded and hurriedly called the ambulance with trembling hands.

Jeffrey held Betty tightly. Betty turned stiff at his sudden intimate move. She whispered, “Calm down. O nly my arm is hurt. Let go of –me. They are watching.”

But Jeffrey didn‘t seem to hear her. He just covered her bleeding wound with his hand, shouting angrily while trembling, “Betty! Are you an idiot? Do you know how dangerous it was! Why did you rush to me? ”

Jeffrey seemed to have forgotten that the people of their magazine were watching them around. He als o forgot that he hated Betty and that Betty betrayed him two years

ago.

At this moment, all he could see and Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

remember was Betty‘s pale face and bright red blood, and the words she said, Jeffrey, look out!

Betty looked at Jeffrey in front of her in a short trance.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that Jeffrey had changed back to the one she used to

know.

_He was not the Jeffrey, who was always

sneering at her in a suit, but the one, who would giggle at her on his bicycle in white shirt and jeans on campus.

Jeffrey didn‘t seem to notice the change in Betty‘s eyes but angrily scolded her, “Betty, do you know yo u are a girl? Why did you try to be a hero?”

Betty was stunned and couldn‘t help laughing,

Her smile was somewhat bitter.

Jeffrey liked to ask her that when they were in school.

Every time she stayed up late to fight for a scholarship, every time she stood up for the female classma tes in her department, and every time she joined the long– distance race in the sports meet during her period… He

would ask her that.

He would hold her angrily in his arms and ask with distress, “Betty, do you still remember you are a girl ?”

At this time, the ambulance sounded outside. Jeffrey picked Betty up and walked out quickly with her in his arms, ignoring the screams and shocked eyes around him.

Betty was a little absent–minded in the

familiar arms.

She felt like she had gone back to the summer three years ago. She was running 800 meters in the sports meet during her period and then fainted at the finish line. Jeffrey jumped down fro m the grandstand, picked her up and rushed to the infirmary…

Betty was afraid to recall it.

The ambulance soon took her to the hospital. Betty planned to leave after her wound was taken care of, but Jeffrey asked for a private ward with his identity. Although she disagr

eed, Jeffrey only turned a deaf ear to that.

Jeffrey went to pay the medical bills. Betty lay in the ward reluctantly, thinking about how to slip away, a nd her mobile phone suddenly rang.

Betty trembled at the caller ID.

It was Kerwin.

She was afraid to tell Kerwin about her injury, but she couldn‘t ignore his call. She summoned up coura ge and answered it,

“Hello…”

“Betty, where are you?” Kerwin‘s low voice sounded on the phone.

“1…” Betty lowered her voice subconsciously,

“I‘m in the hospital.”

“Hospital?” Kerwin‘s voice suddenly turned deep in the phone. “What are you doing in the hospital?”

“Well… I suffered a minor injury.” Betty didn‘t want to lie to Kerwin, and the bandage was so obvious. He would see it when she came home, so she had to tell the truth.

“You‘re injured?” Kerwin‘s voice was suddenly tinged with worry, “Which hospital are you in?”

“The Northwestern Memorial Hospital.”

Kerwin hung up. More than ten minutes later, he appeared at Betty‘s ward door in a hurry. Betty even th ought he would directly stand up and run with those legs.

As soon as Kerwin entered the ward, he saw the thick bandage on Betty‘s arm. His face became extrem

He wheeled himself quickly to Betty and said in a cold voice, “Betty, this is what you called

a minor injury?”

Betty shrank her neck in fear and looked

carefully at Kerwin. “Are you angry?”

Kerwin was indeed angry.

He was furious.

Betty couldn’t even take care of herself!

But looking at her pale face, he no longer felt angry but only felt that his heart ached.

“Forget it,” his tone finally softened a little. “How did you get hurt?”

Betty’s expression stiffened. She didn’t know

how to answer.

Should she tell him that she was injured for protecting Jeffrey?

Then Kerwin might be angrier.

Just as she was thinking about how to answer, the door of the ward was suddenly opened. Jeffrey came in with a worried look and didn’t notice Kerwin nearby. He just

said, “Betty, I‘ve already gone through the hospitalization procedures. The man who attacked you has be

control. Just take care…”

While Jeffrey was speaking, he suddenly noticed Kerwin in the room. Then he

stopped.

The atmosphere in the ward became tense.

“Jeffrey?” When Kerwin saw Jeffrey, he raised his eyebrow slightly and said in a flat tone, “Why are you

Jeffrey obviously couldn‘t hide his mood well as Kerwin did. Seeing Kerwin‘s expression, he was confus protecting me, so I brought her to the hospital.”
