Chapter 0578 As Nicholas turned to shout at me, a rod swung down toward him. He couldn't react fast enough and had to raise his arm to shield his head.

A sharp clang rang out, the metallic impact unmistakably painful. Sweat beaded on his forehead, and his arm trembled from the force of the blow.

"Help! Someone's being attacked!" a voice called out amidst the chaos, and panic spread through the crowd. Parents waiting to drop off their kids scattered, leavingfrozen in place.

The attackers shifted their focus to me. Their eyes glinted with malice as they advanced.

Nicholas noticed immediately. He grabbed one of the men by the collar and swung him toward the other two. The group tumbled to the ground like bowling pins.

He snatched up one of their rods, and the situation flipped. With the weapon in his hand, he coldly demanded, Who sent you?" The attackers exchanged glances but said nothing.

Although I had handled criminal cases before, this was the first tI'd been at a scene like this. My hands trembled as I fumbled with my phone. I had to call the police! As I punched the number, a blood-curdling scream erupted behind me.

'Forget it. You don't need to answer," Nicholas growled, his patience gone. With a single swing, he broke a man's nose.

Upon hearing Nicholas' voice, the Hawk family bodyguards finally rushed over. Wendy arrived too, her face pale as she checked on me.

"I didn't realize it was you two! I was thinking about leaving to avoid trouble. Thank goodness I stayed!" Wendy seemed shaken, but I wasn't. They were clearly after Nicholas. If he hadn't followed me, I wouldn't have been dragged into this.

Besides, Nicholas could handle himself. At first, the attackers had the advantage with their weapons, but now it was clear they were no match for him.

The bodyguards quickly took control of the situation and subdued the attackers.

Nicholas' eyes were bloodshot as he approached, his emotions still raw from the brief scuffle. His gaze was sharp and intense.

"Why didn't you leave when I told you to?" he barked.

"What? I was calling the police!" I said, holding up my phone as if to prove my point.

"Calling the police? And wait for them to do what-collect our bodies? Did you even think this through? What if I couldn't handle them? What if they had more weapons? "And what if I hadn't stopped the guy who ran toward you? Did you think about the consequences? What good were you standing there like a target?" Nicholas was furious. He slammed the rod onto the ground with a force that echoed sharply as if trying to makeunderstand how much it would have hurt if it had landed oninstead.

His anger felt like an inescapable net, suffocating and relentless. Everm thought had done nothing, I was still ER.

ensnared by it. The tension between us hung heavy. We stood face-to-face, neither of us saying a word.

But I couldn't wrap my head around his outburst. Why was he se angry? I didn't do anything. Was I really the one at fault here? "In your mind, it's always my fault, I blurted before I could stop myself.

Perhaps it was the weight of all the past grievances, the countless times I'd been misunderstood and blamed.

I lowered my gaze, too tired to argue anymore. It didn't matter. It wasm always my fault even if I had done nothing.
