The car had a strong engine, so when the gas pedal was slammed on, it released a very loud noise.
| was startled and thought Theo would run over the man's body without a single care. | was just about to scream
for him to step on the brakes when the man lying in front like a corpse suddenly got up from the ground as
though he had an adrenaline rush.
He lay in front of the car, the corners of his mouth and face full of blood as he grinned at Theo. "Not going to
help out a person in need?"
I was stunned.
Theo looked at him with a cold gaze, not saying a word.
The man chortled. "Since you witnessed it, why not taketo the hospital? My leg is broken and | can't walk
anymore."
This was my first tseeing a person who was badly beaten up being so shameless.

Succinct and direct.
The man was shameless and did not plan to give up just like that. He looked absolutely roguish. "I'll stay this way
if you don't taketo the hospital. | apologize in advance if | frighten the gorgeous woman beside you."
Theo's countenance sank as he slammed on the gas pedal. The car drove for a distance before abruptly
reversing.
The man fell off the car. Seeing the man rolling several times on the ground, Theo stepped on the gas pedal
again and drove forward with a blank expression.
The man widened his eyes and quickly clambered to the side to avoid getting squashed to death.
"You're a lunatic!" There were curses behind us. "You would've beca murderer had you run over me!"
He then cursed again, but his voice gradually drowned out when the car drove sdistance away.
| broke out in cold sweat from the shock. | had lingering fear thinking about what just happened.
Looking at the flashing lights outside, | steadied my mind and looked at Theo's grim expression while asking,
"What exactly is going on tonight?'
His meet-up with Milan was already planned in advance.
I did not know what they wanted to talk about, but | knew that he leftwith Tory to see if he would help him.
Theo gavea sideways glance and asked mildly, "Are you afraid?"
| shook my head, then nodded my head.
Seeing how indecisive | was, he laughed, which eased up the tense atmosphere.
He asked with a smile, "So, are you afraid or not?"
| sighed. "Both. I'm afraid because | don't know anything. If anything happens to you, then | won't know what to
do. I'm not afraid because | know you're confident in everything you do and won't put us in danger.
Theo's gaze was deep. "What if | say that | wasn't confident about today?"
I froze.

At the traffic light intersection, Theo stopped the car and said to me, "No matter what happens, Wanda, you
must protect yourself first. Don't worry about me. Your safety is of utmost priority."
| pursed my lips, not knowing why he suddenly said that. | put on a dazed expression.
"Theo..." | felt tremendously uneasy. "Are you hiding something from me?" Theo merely smiled and made no
reply.
I was exhausted when we arrived at the hotel.
After coming out of the shower, | had many things to ask him but he was making a call, so | lay in bed to wait. |
felt sleepy very soon after and fell asleep.
