"Bang!" Before Jeffrey could finish his sentence, a heavy punch suddenly came from the side! Jeffrey was caught off guard. He staggered and fell to the ground. "Melanie, why did you come?" Gabriel knocked down Jeffrey and stood beside Melanie, asking with concern. "I was afraid you would cause a fatal accident!" Melanie said irritably. In the blink of an eye, Jeffrey, who had just fallen to the ground, had already stood up. Seeing Gabriel and Melanie standing so close together, his blood boiled! With clenched fists, he rushed forward and aimed another punch at Gabriel's face! "Bang!" Even though Gabriel was prepared, he was still knocked down to the other side of the ring! Gabriel tried to get up to fight back, but his legs gave out. Melanie quickly said, "Stop fighting! Let's go!" The fierceness in Gabriel's eyes softened when he met Melanie's gaze. He nodded, wanting to leave with Melanie. Behind them, Jeffrey's voice was low and frightening. "You're not takin
Gabriel's gaze was so intense as if it contained a flame that wanted to melt the frosty Melanie. But at a moment when she should have felt flustered, Melanie didn't feel her heart racing. She only felt helpless and embarrassed. "I have a family doctor who can prepare medical equipment. Can you accompany me back?" Gabriel pleaded again. He had been holding her hand all this time, and Melanie knew how much he longed for it. She couldn't bear to refuse him like this in front of his subordinates, and she also needed a chance to have a serious talk with him, so she nodded. Gabriel immediately smiled, happy like a child, completely forgetting the pain on his body. - The car arrived at Gabriel's villa in Harbor City. Upon entering, Melanie was surprised to find that the living room was surprisingly similar to her own home. There were fabric sofas she liked, blankets on the sofa, and wool rugs on the floor, both in texture and color just like those in her own home. Even the
"Who is this? Is he trying to get himself killed?" The driver cursed and was about to open the door to drive away the tall man. Melanie stopped him. "I'll go." "Madam?" The driver naturally refused and cleverly glanced at the man blocking the car. He recognized him as Jefford, who had just injured Gabriel! "You can't go!" The driver was even more troubled. "If I don't go, we won't be able to leave tonight," Melanie said, opening the door and walking out. The driver thought to himself, ‘Before leaving, the young master instructed me to make sure Madam was safely inside the Jones residence before leaving. But who would have thought that just a few minutes after leaving, Madam would be abducted by someone, and by that reckless Jefford no less?’ After some hesitation, the driver decided to call Gabriel to report the situation. However, when he took out his phone, he realized that there was no signal at all. Although the villa area was remote, it shouldn't have no signal
Just then, the roar of vehicles racing down the mountain road suddenly came! Melanie's eyes brightened instantly! It must be Gabriel sending someone to rescue her! Seemingly sensing her intention to seek help, Jeffrey lowered his voice and reminded her, "You’d better not make a sound. You wouldn't want Gabriel and the Frost family to see us like this in the woods late at night..." Melanie's eyes narrowed as she glared fiercely at the shameless man. What? Did he think he had her figured out? Even if she might be misunderstood by the Frost family, it was still much better than staying here in the lion's den! With determination in her eyes, she gathered her courage and decisively said, "I'm he... Mmm...!" But before she could finish her sentence, the man suddenly leaned in and pressed his lips against hers. "Mmm! Mmm!" She struggled and squirmed under him but her lips were firmly sucked on by him. She was unable to make a sound... Seeing her movements getting more an
However, Melanie had to admit that letting such a mentally twisted and torn "patient" hold her surprisingly quickly calmed her down, and she even began to somewhat cherish the warmth in his embrace. She frowned fiercely, warning herself in her heart that she could not indulge in such thoughts in the arms of this scumbag. Had she forgotten how he played her not long ago, making her embarrassed in front of the whole world? Melanie bit her lip in thought. The reason she might have a hint of attachment to him must be because he used the "Endless Love" perfume she customized for Jeffrey. This shameless man! She cursed in her heart but she slowly lifted her gaze, unable to resist observing the wounds on his body. Jefford's face was bruised and swollen, with a lot of blood flowing from behind his ear, staining half of his face red. He also had wounds on his shoulders, some new and some old, with one long wound extending from the shoulder blade to the back shoulder, visibly blu
Jefford, with a pale face, grinned. "Are you worried about me?" "I'm worried that you might suddenly drop dead, making me fall to the ground!" Melanie retorted, not pleased. Though her words were harsh, her body was honest. Seizing the moment of his hesitation, she jumped out of his arms. Startled, Jeffrey quickly bent down to protect her. "Be careful!" "It's you who should be careful!" Her eyes were fixed on the front of his shirt that was stained red with blood. "Let's go to the hospital immediately to bandage your wounds. They're splitting open!" she urged anxiously. "No need..." "What do you mean, no need?" Melanie was genuinely angry now, feeling that Jefford was indeed going mad. "With such serious injuries, why aren't you seeking treatment? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Jeffrey chuckled softly. He could feel that his woman still cared about him, and not just a little bit. He wasn't someone who disregarded his own life. He had confidence in h
Their bodies were tightly pressed together, and in an instant, Jeffrey was enamored by Melanie’s familiar scent. Only she had this ability to make his mind go blank and surrender his rationality! At this moment, Melanie was also bewildered. The man's kisses were so passionate and his caresses so affectionate that it unexpectedly stirred up her longing for Jeffrey. But she quickly regained her senses, realizing that the man had already kissed her neck and was moving downward. She snapped out of it. She blocked the man's mouth with the alcohol swab in her hand! The pungent smell of alcohol hit his brain through his mouth and nose. Jeffrey also gradually sobered up, and only then did he see her fierce eyes staring at him. She was holding the surgical forceps with a grim expression. "I'm sorry..." He let go of her, suddenly apologizing. Melanie didn't dare to relax and continued to grip the "weapon" in her hand tightly, thinking that Jefford was indeed sick. He was pr
Annie was skeptical and said mechanically, "I'm at William's house. I'll send you the address, but it’s so late now. Shouldn't you be resting?" "I'll rest after I check on him!" Melanie hung up the phone without another word and left the house. - Melanie instructed the driver to speed up and take her to William's house. Annie soon came to open the door for her, and Melanie asked as soon as she entered, "Where's William?" "I-Inside," Annie stammered and led her in. Annie did not know why Melanie was in such a hurry. It was her boyfriend who was injured, wasn’t it?In the bedroom, William was half-lying on the bed with both hands bandaged. On the bedside table were two fruit platters, showing how well Annie was taking care of him. "Annie, I didn't have time to eat on the way here. Is there anything to eat? Get me something," she said, wanting to send Annie away. Annie nodded quickly. "Yes, there is. I'll heat it up for you, you can't eat anything cold now." With that, she
