“Oh, crap! Bro, are you okay? He almost killed you. How could you ask me to spare him?”
Landon seethed at Axel. “Better get lost now if you want to live. Otherwise, I’m going to beat you into a pulp. It’s a piece of cake for the Harper Family to wipe you off Solana City without anyone knowing!”
However, Axel was unbothered by the threat and coldly stepped forward.
“Jeremy, run now!” Landon growled and pulled the trigger with a thumping heart.
“Landon, stop!”
The gun fired with a loud pop.
However, the bullet did not hit Axel.
“Ugh. It hurts…” Alyssa, who had shown up from nowhere, hugged Axel tightly. The bullet had hit her in the left shoulder.
Although Landon had only fired off a wax bullet, it had caused severe damage.
Alyssa was drenched in sweat and trembling. Even so, she would not let go of Axel no matter what happened.
Jeremy’s eyes widened in shock. His heart sank, and he felt as though he was falling from a high place.
All the pain in his body was nothing compared to the blow he received when Alyssa shielded the attacker.
She might be his ex¨Cwife, but when she saw her ex¨Chusband attacked, the first thing on her mind was to protect the assailant who’d almost beaten him to death.
“Allison Burton, how could you do this to me?” he seethed. What she had done was outrageous. She was technically the accomplice to the attacker.
“Lyse!” Axel looked at Alyssa frantically and held her frail shoulder. When he checked his hand, it was stained with her blood.
Taking a sharp breath, he felt an immense hatred and heartache in him.
“Landon Harper, I will kill you-“
Stunned, Landon let go of the simulated gun. He didn’t have time to react to Allison’s sudden appearance. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fired the bullet.
“Axel Alyssa lay limply in Axel’s arms and rested her head on her shoulder. She said through gritted teeth, “If… If you want me to call you my brother… get away from here, right now! I’ll never forgive you otherwise.”
“But, Lyse …..”
Alyssa glared at him and shoved him away. He felt a shot of pain through his heart. It dawned on. him that he had truly angered Alyssa this time. If he refused to listen to her, she might never see him as her brother again.
He had no choice but to flee the scene and contact Jonah to send Alyssa to the hospital.
Alyssa sighed in relief after Axel left. She ignored the wound on her shoulder and checked on
Jeremy
“Mr. Harper, get us an ambulance. They both need medical attention”
“But you’re hurt too! You need medical attention Landon’s voice broke. He was filled with guilt.
“I know my body well. I’ll be fine.” Fighting against the pain, she reached out to Jeremy to check his condition.
“You don’t have to fake it, Allison. Get lost.” Panting while lying on the ground, Jeremy had a look of anger in his eyes.
He hated that she had helped the assailant flee the scene, but more than that, he worried greatly about her injury and wanted her to receive medical attention as soon as possible.
“I’ll get out of your way after I check on you.” She lowered her gaze and insistently touched his leg.
to check for any broken bones
His good¨Clooking face was bruised, and blood was oozing from his lips. The pristine suit on him was now dirty and stained.
How could she not feel bad for him? She was frustrated by Axel, who had gone too far this time.
“I want you to… get lost. Got it?” Worried and furious, Jeremy bellowed at her.
“No! You have some old injuries. I can’t take it lightly. I will make sure you’re okay before I leave,”
she yelled back with worry.
He examined the stern look on her lovely face. Doubt arose in his mind.
How did she learn about his old injuries? Did Landon tell her about it?
Soon, the ambulance arrived and sent Jeremy and Landon to the nearest hospital for medical treatment. Thankfully, Jeremy suffered from minor scrapes. The fight did not make his old injuries flare up, much to Alyssa’s relief.
Landon stayed by Alyssa’s side at the hospital, except when the doctor extracted the bullet from
Alyssa’s shoulder.
“How was it? Is the injury deep?” Upon seeing her pale face when she exited the treatment room,
-his heart leaped to his throat.
She smiled and shook her head. “I received a few stitches. No big deal.”
“How is that not a big deal?” His heart almost stopped. Frozen on the spot, he grappled with immense guilt. “Will it lead to any sickness, paralysis, or long¨Cterm effects? Allison, you mustn’t lie to me. Tell me the truth!”
“Pfft.” She found him ridiculous and poked fun at him in good nature, “You’re way too serious to
What would you do about that?”
I’ll marry you
She glared at him. “What?”
He gulped and choked back on tears. Then, he declared in a hoarse voice, “I will take responsibility. Allison, if you’re crippled, I will marry you and treat you well.”
Alyssa silently cursed, “Oh, fuck! Is Landon Harper alright?”
She chuckled awkwardly. “Mr. Harper, you are joking a lot today.”
“I’m not joking. Allison, I’m serious!” In the heat of the moment, Landon reached for her shoulder, but she deftly dodged his advance.
“If I recall correctly, I have cleared the alr with you this morning. Do I have to be harsh for you to listen to me?”
“I know you turned me down.” He smiled bitterly while staring keenly at her. “And I know you’re with Jonah Taylor. But I still want you to know I’ll be here if you ever turn around. I don’t mind being your second choice, I can even be your second husband
“My second husband? Please, I’m not Winston Taylor.” She secretly scoffed.
Still, she silently admired his ravishing eyes that were dripping with resentment. He could charm anyone and take their soul with those eyes. No wonder he was successful with women.
Too bad Alyssa was immune to his charm. In comparison, she’d much prefer Jeremy’s bewitching eyes that could be impassionate at times.
“By the way, Allison, who’s the guy that attacked Jeremy? Do you know him well?” Landon was nervous.
When Alyssa was at a loss for words, Xavier approached them. He was dressed in a patient’s robe. “Madam Allison!”
“Why are you wandering around?” She quickly walked past Landon to hold Xavier by the arm. “Your injuries weren’t serious, but you suffered a mild concussion when you hit the ground. You should rest more and stop going around.”
“Madam Allison, did you save Mr. Jeremy?” he asked in excitement.
“I¨CI did nothing.” She sounded upset as she battled feelings of remorse.
“I knew it. I knew he still has a place in your heart!”
“Xavier, is Jeremy done with the treatment?” Alyssa shifted the topic of conversation to avoid the discussion on her relationship.
Xavier nodded eagerly. “Could you please stay? At least visit him once.”
She took a deep breath and reluctantly dragged herself to meet with Jeremy.
At the end of the day, it was her brother who had beaten Jeremy up. She was the reason for the attack, so she couldn’t stay out of the matter.
Jeremy was leaning against the headboard and staring out the window. Despite the bruises, his face was a blessing. Loneliness crept up his face, which softened his features.
