“One of the doors is locked. It’s possible that someone is inside.”
As he spoke, the policeman led the man to the locked door.
Jeremy and his wife, as well as Grace’s uncles, were looking desperately for any kind of excuse to not open the door.
Jason stared at the door and said coldly, “Break it open.”
Immediately, someone took an axe and directly chopped the door down.
“You can’t enter! You are trespassing in this house! I will sue you!” However, no matter how loud Jeremy shouted, it was of no use. The moment the door opened, Jason rushed into the room.
Just as the others were about to rush in, a roar suddenly came from inside. “No one can come in!”
Suddenly, the footsteps of the people who had been about to rush in stopped in an instant.
Jason’s eyes were blood-red as he stared at the scene in front of him. The clothes on Grace’s body had been torn off. She was cowering in a corner, being beaten and kicked by a man who was still smiling.
Her delicate body was curled like a shrimp, and she was holding a broken piece of mirror in her hand, but at this point, she didn’t have the strength to fight back.
The only thing she could do was keep herself from fainting. She could only try to stay conscious under the constant barrage of pain.
Fresh, dark red blood continuously dripped down from her palm to the light-colored sheets, making it look as if poppies were blooming.
But the man beating her was still mumbling, “My dad said that if a woman is not obedient, I need to beat her! If I beat her, she will be obedient. So I want to beat you, beat you, beat you…”
The next moment, Jason directly rushed forward and pulled the man away from Grace. He then pushed him to the ground and stepped on him.
His Grace had been beaten by the fool. A hint of murderous intent flashed in his pitch-black pupils.
There was a sharp pain in the chest of Miller the fool as he was stepped on. He wanted to get up but he couldn’t move. Even if he was stupid, he still had an instinctive sense of crisis. He only felt that the person who was stepping on him was terrifying, like a God of Death who was going to take his life.
Jason’s eyes were scarlet and the killing intent in them was getting stronger and stronger.
All of a sudden, the sound of breathing came into his ears, shaking him awake from that state.
Grace!
He directly kicked Miller the fool out of the room, then he looked at Grace curled up in the corner.
At this moment, her body seemed to be soft, her cheeks.
abnormally red, and there was blood around the corners of her mouth. Her almond-shaped eyes, which had originally been warm, now seemed to have no focus at all. No one knew what she was looking at.
Just like a weak little animal, she was still struggling desperately, wanting to protect herself.
All of a sudden, he felt a twinge of pain in his heart. She had clearly been fine when she had left this morning, but now… she had been turned into this pitiful state. If he had come with her earlier in the day, she would not have encountered such a thing.
When he wanted to get close to her, her body shook even more, and the hand she was using to hold the mirror shard tightened its grip. Suddenly, the blood in her hands surged even more.
“Sis, it’s me. Relax. You’re safe now. No one will do anything to you anymore,” Jason said anxiously.
In the past, he had never been afraid of blood. Even if someone had dripped blood in front of him, he would not have been moved at all.
However, at this moment, he was afraid of her blood. He was afraid that her injuries would worsen and that she would keep on bleeding.
This kind of fear made his body tremble.
Grace felt as if her body had lost all sensation and control.
She could only feel the heat and slight pain.
Only when she was in pain could she protect herself and keep herself from falling asleep.
“I can’t sleep here, I absolutely can’t!”
Being isolated and helpless, she had once thought that when she was released from prison, she would be in charge of her own life. However, nothing had changed. Once something had happened, no one could help her! She could only bear this pain alone…
“Sis… sis…”
A voice rang in her ears. “Who is it? Who is calling out to me?”
She tried her best to open her eyes, trying to see who was calling her.
“Sis, don’t be afraid, I will take you away from this place!” the person said.
Her vision, which had no focus, started to clear up little by little. Her dark pupils then finally reflected the man’s figure.
“J… Jay…” She said his name with difficulty. Her voice was so hoarse that it sounded as if her throat had been scratched with sand.
“It’s me. No one can hurt you once I’m here!” He said, his handsome face serious. He was heart-broken when he made his oath.
She looked at him in a daze. At this moment, it seemed that there was something different about Jay, but… it was still Jay!
As if all the strength she had been struggling to hold on to had been drained, her hand suddenly loosened, and the shard of mirror in her hand fell. She also fell to one side.
He stretched out his arms to catch her, then directly took off his coat, wrapped it around her, and picked her up.
“Sis, go to sleep. I’ll take you back,” Jason said softly.
Leaning on his chest, she could feel his familiar aura. It was as if she was no longer alone at this moment. There was someone else that she could rely on.
“Jay, you’re finally… here…” she muttered. Her head tilted as she leaned into his embrace, gasping for breath.
“Yes, I’m here,” he replied as he stared at the person in his arms. She didn’t have to be afraid of anything!
As he spoke, he carried her out of the room.
The people outside saw Jason walk out holding a woman wrapped in a man’s suit. They could not see the woman’s appearance at all as her face was almost buried in Jason’s arms. Only her long hair could be seen outside the suit. One could still hear the woman’s breathing, which was very heavy at that moment.
Seeing the careful look on Jason’s face as he carried the woman in his arms, everyone could tell that this woman was very important to him.
Those who were aware of Jason’s true identity secretly suppressed their thoughts when they saw this scene.
After all, he was a big shot in Emerald City. How could he appear in such a place in the early morning just for a woman? Moreover, he had made such a big scene.
Regardless of who she was, they were afraid that she would disrupt half of Emerald City.
