With her squinted dark eyes, she graced her way down the stairs."Come on," Julia uttered, offering her hand when she came to Shiloh's side. "Hold my hand. I'll help you stand up again."When Julia said those things, she saw Jared walking in her direction."I'm here."Upon hearing his brother's voice and seeing his darkened face, he instinctively thought that his brother was jealous of the interaction between the woman and him.But of course, that was no time to think about such things. Julia just said that he could stand up, and he was nervous about it.Deep inside, he was hoping that a miracle would happen, but at the same time, he was scared of disappointment.When Julia saw the anxiety on Shiloh's face, she tried to comfort him, "Don't worry, I'm confident with my medical skills. Just trust me, okay? Try without fearing.""What do you mean I'm scared? I'm not! It must be you!" After shouting with a sign of stiffness, he grabbed Jared's arms and braced them.'It hurts! My leg hurts
Julia was stuck where she was standing and speechless at what she had just heard. At that moment, all she could do was stare blankly at Jared, trying to see a hint of a joke in his expression, but apart from seriousness, there was no other emotion at all.That made Julia so stunned that she didn't know how to react.Shiloh, on the side, also looked at Jared in surprise. Not one of them, even him, expected Jared to confess his love that way.It took a full minute before Julia slowly recovered from her surprise and opened her mouth to ask, "Are you serious?""I never joke." Jared seemed so calm from the outside, but deep inside, he was nervous and overwhelmed by emotions. After all, almost all his life, that was the first time he confessed his love to someone.The woman's face was complex, almost indescribable, as she opened her mouth slightly. "Why?" She managed to ask.They got together because of an agreement. How did that happen? It baffled her."Like is like, do you need to ask why
The loud screech of the van was heard as the two fell to the ground while the wheelchair was pushed back.Shiloh grunted because of the impact and felt dizzy as he got up from the ground, feeling the pain."Are you alright?"Hearing Julia's voice, Shiloh suddenly raised his head and looked at the pale woman. It showed in his eyes how mixed up his emotions were.However, his attention was put on something else when he smelled blood! And when he glanced down at Julia, he saw her injured arm. His pupils dilated in worry, and he shook in terror.She was injured!She was injured trying to save him!Why did she risk her life to save him? When they both know it might harm hers.When Shiloh's thoughts were in disarray, five or six people got off the van. The masked men got their faces covered and surrounded them aggressively.Upon realizing the peril of their situation, Julai and Shiloh learned that it was no mere car incident, and they did it deliberately with a motive!At that moment, Shilo
Upon hearing these words, Jared’s body jolted upright with his eyebrows creased in anger. Like a burning fire, a strong surge of fury surged within him. This intense feeling spurred him into quick action, making him hurry as he walked forward.“Joseph! Get the car ready!” Jared's urgent voice rang out, filling the air with its resonance. He grabbed his phone, prepared for action, and swiftly looked outside. His pace accelerated, gradually evolving into a full-fledged sprint.As Joseph witnessed Jared’s abrupt change, his face turned grave. Acting swiftly and decisively, he followed Jared without pause, an unspoken understanding directing his actions.In the office, people were shocked by Jared’s unusual behavior, wondering if the Brooks family’s wealth was in trouble.Meanwhile, with cuts on her arms and legs from what she had been through, Julia was extremely tired.Shiloh was stunned, unable to react as he watched Julia in pain. He hesitated, unsure of what to do.“Stop!” The leader
Witnessing Jared’s action, Julia's eyes widened instantly, and asked, "You, don't you think it's dirty?""It's you; I don't mind." Jared tossed the used tissue into the trash.Julia tracked his movements with her gaze, her wide eyes filled with curiosity as she focused on the man before her.After a few seconds of silence, she couldn't resist asking, "You took care of me all night?""Yes," Jared affirmed with a nod.Julia observed the tenderness and concern in his eyes. She remembered his recent confession and the ring on her finger as she contemplated this. She had tried to give it back to him multiple times, but he stubbornly refused to take it, and he didn't mention reclaiming it either."Let me ask you, do you truly have feelings for me?""Or do you believe I'd casually give this ring to someone else?" Jared responded earnestly.At that moment, the gravity of his expression left no room for doubt.Julia scratched the back of her head, a wry smile forming. "Do you mind if I had fee
Shiloh briskly strode to the window, parting the curtains and peering downward."Hmm? Where did she go?"He had just caught sight of a figure that brought Julia to mind, passing by only moments before. Now, it seemed to have vanished. Perplexed, Shiloh scanned the surroundings in the dimly lit night, finding nothing to explain the disappearance."Could I have been mistaken?"Shiloh rubbed his eyes, attributing the lapse to his gaming session. With a sigh, he closed the curtains, extinguished the lights, and settled in for the night.Meanwhile, Julia emerged from behind a large tree, her gaze directed toward Shiloh's room.‘Staying up at this hour, you truly are a night owl,’ Julia muttered in her thoughts before moving on.Soon, she arrived at the old villa located behind the main residence. It was here that the car owner and the group of killers responsible for the accident over a decade ago were being held.Their isolation worked to Julia's advantage as she navigated the premises.E
Shiloh cleared his throat to alleviate the awkwardness of the moment. "I, uh, used to dislike her. I thought she was scheming and had a dark side.""And now?" Jared inquired."Even now, I still think she's pretty calculating and has a hidden agenda," Shiloh replied candidly.Jared frowned, appearing skeptical."But," Shiloh redirected the conversation, "She hasn't been cruel to you, nor has she done anything actually to harm you."After a brief pause, Jared continued, "Is it because she risked her life to save you?"Shiloh hesitated to speak the unspoken words that lingered on his lips."I'm going outside to soak up some sun," Shiloh announced abruptly, almost fleeing the villa in his wheelchair.Observing Shiloh's departure, Jared's gaze turned contemplative before he clicked on the [Chapter on Successful Dating Strategies in Films].While he believed himself capable of grasping even the smallest details as the head of the Brooks family, he couldn't help but wonder if he was missing
Julia's sudden push caught Carter off guard, causing him to stumble and collide with a nearby flower stand. He winced and clutched his lower back, casting a disbelieving look at Julia.Before he could utter a word, Julia's voice rang out, brimming with anger."Carter! Did I wrong you in a past life? Are you determined to hound me like this? If you have something to say, say it directly to me! And now you've even come to find my brother! Are you attempting to use my brother to threaten me?"Conrad was an emotional trigger for Julia, an area she couldn't tolerate being touched. That's why her fury was so intense."You've misunderstood. I never meant to do anything to your brother. It's just that you've been avoiding me, refusing to see me, so I had no choice but to come here to find you," Carter explained."Do you think I'll believe that? You didn't mean to do anything to my brother? Then let me ask you, who broke his ribs? Who made him suffer in the hospital for so long?" With each sen
