Tyler suddenly asked, “So, when can we do it?”The question stunned the doctor.“When can you—”Rachel, flustered, quickly covered Tyler’s mouth and awkwardly explained to the doctor,“Don’t mind him. He’s just joking.”The doctor only smiled and said nothing more.When the wound was finally treated, Tyler was already drenched in sweat. Rachel grabbed a few tissues from the table and handed them to him.With a lazy glance, Tyler put on his most entitled act.“My hand hurts. Wipe it for me.”Rachel rolled her eyes. “You’re acting awfully spoiled right now.”Tyler reminded her again. “I’m the patient right now.”Rachel shot back, “I’m also a patient right now.”“Do you need me to wipe your sweat? I can help you.”Rachel narrowed her eyes. “Didn’t you just say your hand hurts?”“It hurts to wipe my own sweat, but it doesn’t hurt to wipe yours.”Rachel was speechless. In the end, she couldn’t win against him and wiped the sweat from his forehead herself.A nurse from next do
The nurse saw Rachel frozen in shock and quickly tried to comfort her.“Don’t worry. We only heard it from the doctor. It might not be accurate. Maybe it won’t come to amputation.”Rachel couldn’t sit still.“No, I have to see him! I can get the IV drip later.”Ignoring the nurse’s attempts to stop her, she ran to the consultation room next door. The doctor was cleaning Tyler’s wounds. Sweat streamed down his forehead, and the veins on his temple were bulging. He was clearly in pain.Tyler was the type who never made a sound unless the pain was unbearable.The moment he saw Rachel, though, the tension in his eyes eased. His voice was still low and strained.“Feels like I haven’t seen you in ages, even though it’s just been a moment.”After chuckling at his words, Rachel smiled wearily.“How can you still joke at a time like this?”Tyler squeezed her fingers, guilt welling up as he saw her covered in injuries.“I wasn’t fast enough. I almost let you get hurt. Don’t worry. I'l
Just then, Steven arrived, supported by someone as he walked forward. The moment he saw the condition Tyler was in, his expression instantly darkened.He waved at his assistant, urging impatiently, “What are you standing there for? Get him to the hospital, now!”The assistant was about to step forward to help, but Tyler refused.“I'm fine.”The factory door swung open, and police officers surrounded the place. Yale quickly helped Tyler inside.Tyler’s brows furrowed deeply while he scanned every corner for Rachel. The moment he spotted Howard, who was fully naked, he pursed his lips and clenched his jaws.Fearing Tyler might cripple Howard in his rage, Yale hurriedly patted his shoulder and pointed to the corner on the right.“Mr. Hunt, don’t worry. Look over there!”Tyler looked where Yale was pointing and saw Rachel curled up on the ground in her torn clothes. Her hands were covered in blood while she gripped a razor blade tightly.Howard spotted Steven and let out a miserab
Sheryn was so terrified she clutched her head and hid in a corner, not daring to make a sound.Tyler had been able to fend them off for a while with his skills, but no matter how good he was, one man couldn’t take on so many at once.Before long, Tyler began to run out of strength. Someone sneaked up from behind and struck him with a club, knocking him to the ground. He dropped to one knee, and his entire body trembled. Sweat broke out on his forehead. For the first time, Sheryn saw Tyler fighting so desperately for a woman. She clenched her jaw hard, feeling both worried and jealous. Rachel had managed to bring Tyler down from his pedestal.God only knew what good deeds this woman had done in her past life to have so many men willing to fight to the death over her in this one.Soon, Tyler couldn’t hold out anymore. He was beaten down onto his stomach, and at some point, someone had hit his head with a club again. Blood oozed out, trickling down his temple in bright red drops.I
Howard was stunned by Rachel's slap; he stared at her for a few seconds before slapping her back."Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you hit me! You should consider it a blessing that I fancy you instead of pretentiously sitting on a high horse! I'm sleeping with you today, whether you like it or not!"Rachel's head was still buzzing from the slap Howard gave her. Tyler could hear her cry through the phone.He went wild and tried to charge through the door, but the two men who brought Sheryn out immediately stopped Tyler from barging in."You can't go in!""Scram!"Tyler punched both of them till they were squirming on the ground in pain. He exuded a murderous aura, his eyes bloodshot and filled with rage. The two men on the ground refused to give up, each of them desperately clinging to his legs."You can't go in! Mr. Ziegler won't spare us if we let you in!"None of them were able to bear the consequences of Howard losing his mind.Tyler glared at them, his eyes fr
"I'm keeping Rachel. You take Sheryn."The two men who were drawing near to Sheryn were stunned by Howard's decision."Wait. Mr. Ziegler, you must be kidding. Didn't we agree to keep this one? We were just getting started!"Howard didn't have the time or energy to talk sense into the two of them. "Hurry up and do as I say. Do you really think you're here for a good time?"The two men didn't dare offend Howard and had no choice but to reluctantly release Sheryn.Sheryn never expected the tables to turn in her favor. A bright smile stretched across her face, and she gloated to Rachel, "Just look! Turns out that there is fairness in this world, after all. People do get their just desserts."Rachel remained silent. It was true that she was the trigger for all that had happened, and that Sheryn had nothing whatsoever to do with this. She would certainly be riddled with guilt if anything happened to Sheryn because of her.Sheryn spoke a little too much, but she had never done anything
