Faye Townsend fell to the ground with a cry, "Oh no!", feeling as if her butt had split open from the pain.
She raised her eyes, worried that the thug in the leather jacket might co to bully her again, prepared to fight back at any mont.
But when she looked up from under the bed, she only saw Hunter Warren rushing in like the wind from the doorway, taking the thug down to the ground directly.
The thug thought about resisting, but Hunter swiftly kicked him twice in the chest with fierce precision.
The thug’s sidekick saw this and quickly abandoned the doctor to co and help.
"Hunter, watch out behind you," Faye exclaid in alarm as Hunter was already turning around.
He grabbed the sidekick’s hand and twisted his wrist.
The sidekick scread in agony and knelt on the ground.
"Brother, save ."
"He save you? He can’t even save himself now, can’t you see?
I’ll deal with him first, then I’ll deal with you."
After saying that, Hunter pulled up the leather-jacketed thug and started punching and kicking him in the face.
The thug initially managed to dodge a bit.
But soon, he was so beaten that he couldn’t even fight back.
Seeing the thug was nearly unconscious, Faye hurried over from the side of the bed and pulled Hunter back.
"That’s enough, Hunter, that’s enough, stop hitting him or you’ll kill him."
"Such scum, the fewer, the better if they get beaten to death."
Hunter was still angry, and Faye burst into a bright smile.
He was only acting this way because he was worried about her.
She coyly wrapped her arms around his arm, "Indeed, the life and death of such trash have nothing to do with .
But I don’t want them to dirty your hands.
So stop hitting him, let them go, I’m fine anyway."
Hunter finally stepped back a few paces from the thug.
Faye looked at the sidekick with a broken wrist, "In the future, be careful who you follow as your boss, don’t hang around with this kind of trash and coward.
Why are you hesitating, aren’t you going to quickly drag your boss out of here?
Waiting for my boyfriend to beat you up?"
The sidekick hurriedly stood up and helped the half-dead thug out.
Faye went up to help the beaten doctor, "Doctor, thank you so much for earlier."
"Miss Townsend, I’m really sorry, I didn’t expect that while I went to the restroom for a bit, those two would..."
"It’s okay, I’m perfectly fine, what about you, are you alright?"
"I’m fine, Miss Townsend, let check you over."
"No need, it’s just that my IV drip has co off, you might need to reinsert it for ."
"Alright, alright." The doctor quickly set up the IV and left.
Hunter imdiately called ho, requesting improvents to the dical and security facilities on site.
Faye lay on the hospital bed, watching Hunter’s serious face as he made the call, unable to suppress a smile.
Hunter tossed aside his cellphone and walked to the door, handing her a bottle of mineral water, "Here, drink up."
"Huh? Didn’t I ask you to buy an iced Coke, why is it water? I don’t want it."
"Coke isn’t good for your health, you need to drink more water now.
Co on, be good, drink up."
"But I’m not thirsty anymore, well, unless you feed it to , maybe I might persuade myself to drink a few sips then."
Hunter smiled wryly at her, "How did Uncle and Auntie raise such a cheeky daughter like you?"
"Where am I cheeky? I call it dedication, dedication, okay?
Look around the world today, how many girls can stay as committed to their dreams as I am?
Brother, you should feel lucky.
Not everyone is as fortunate as you to be loved by .
Co on, hurry up, feed , quick, quick."
Faye pointed to her face and already opened her mouth.
Hunter was speechless, "This is a bottle, how can I feed you? What if you choke?"
She squinted mischievously, "You can... feed mouth-to-mouth, I don’t mind if you’re dirty."
Hunter shoved the water bottle into her hands, "Drink if you want."
"Tch, stingy."
Faye unscrewed the mineral water bottle and took a couple of sips.
"Faye, are you really okay?"
"I’m fine, just perfectly alright, you were tily in rescuing like a hero today."
From outside ca the voice of Henry Sullivan, "Hello, is Miss Townsend getting an IV here?"
"Yes, yes, inside."
The doctor pointed Henry Sullivan in the direction, and he ca in with Roman Hughes and Owen Lennon.
Seeing Faye with an IV, Henry stepped forward to ask, "Faye, how did you get heatstroke? Are you feeling better now?"
"No problem, Brother Henry, I just fainted for a bit, now I’m all recovered."
"Whoa, what happened here? Did you two just make the bed all ssy?" Roman Hughes blurted out upon entering and seeing the ss, "Comrade Hunter, I sll a strong sense of bromance here.
Hey, everyone, co see, there’s blood here.
Huh? Did you two really... behind our backs... ouch!"
Roman was enjoying his wild speculations when Hunter raised his hand and smacked his head.
"Can you keep your thoughts pure?
There were just two thugs bullying Faye that I dealt with.
The blood belongs to those two thugs."
Hunter finished by pointing at Roman’s face, "Really, your wild imaginings defeated ."
"No way, this scene is so exaggerated; surely I’m not the only one thinking along those lines."
Owen crossed his arms, "Well, I wasn’t thinking in your direction anyway."
Roman scoffed, "How about you, Henry?"
Henry was too lazy to bother with him and turned to Faye, "What happened just now?
Where did the thugs co from?"
"They seem to be thugs living around this area."
Owen found a chair and sat down, "Actually, this place isn’t bad, it’s worth promoting."
"I plan to redevelop this place, I don’t think it’s high-end enough, later on it will only cater to high-end clients.
Many aspects still need improvent; next ti when you guys co around to play, you’re sure to have a great experience.
How did the ga go just now?"
"Do you even need to ask? Playing with Henry, a professional soldier, did we stand a chance of winning?
Didn’t you see the red bullet marks on , if this were real, I probably wouldn’t even have an intact body."
"It’s your fault for not dying when you were supposed to."
They continued chatting, and when Hunter turned back, he found that Faye was already almost asleep.
He hissed for Roman and Owen to wait outside.
When the IV finished, the doctor ca to remove the needle, and Faye woke up as well.
Henry wanted to help Faye off the bed, but she pointed to Hunter instead.
"No worries, Brother Henry, it was at Hunter’s ga room where I got the heatstroke, so he must take responsibility.
Hunter, you have to carry out."
Hunter looked at Henry and laughed.
Henry shrugged and headed out first, and Hunter walked over to her side, "You..."
He still lifted her up in his arms.
In his embrace, Faye felt incredibly safe.
She thought at that mont how wonderful it would be to stay in this embrace forever.
A lifeti... might even feel too short.
When Faye opened her eyes again, the sky was already getting light.
Hunter had, at so point, squeezed beside her, holding her tightly as he slept.
Being so close now made her feel a bit uncomfortable.
Faye suddenly sat up, wondering when she had fallen asleep.
Hunter was startled awake by her abrupt movent, squinting at Faye, clearly sowhat sleep-deprived.
"Awake?"
"Mmm, huh." Faye got down from the sofa bed and glanced at Miya, "I’m going to wash my face."
"Go ahead."
Seeing her seemingly shy deanor, Hunter smirked devilishly.
He got up and stretched lazily, his arm a bit numb from having been her pillow all night.
Faye hurried into the bathroom, washed her face, and looked at herself in the mirror, water trickling down from the strands of hair on her cheek, her gaze unfocused.
When did she end up sleeping with Hunter?
Though usually a light sleeper, she had slept right through last night.
Was she really too tired?
Yes, it must have been exhaustion, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been unaware of sleeping into his arms.
Not sure how long she stood there, the sound of knocking ca from outside.
"Faye, are you done?"
Faye turned to look outside, "Yeah, done."
She wiped her face with a towel and opened the door.
He blocked the doorway, looking at her, "You slept with last night; shouldn’t you be responsible for ?"
Faye glared at him, "Don’t talk nonsense, when did I sleep with you."
"Look, didn’t you wake up in my arms this morning?"
"Then you slept with ." Faye glared at him.
"Alright, I slept with you, so I’ll take responsibility."
Faye inwardly balked at his brazenness, such a shaless man.
"Hunter, you’re really boring."
She turned to leave, but Hunter stretched out his arm to block her way.
"Indeed, I am quite boring, so... are you going to take responsibility for , or should I take responsibility for you?"
Faye pouted, "I’m not going to be responsible for you, nor do I need your responsibility, go wash up."
She pressed down hard, and Hunter released his arm, allowing her to step out.
Hunter smiled, turned, and went into the bathroom.
Faye sat on the sofa, and a smile unknowingly tugged at her lips.
Such a boring man.
After breakfast, Lucia saw how tired Faye was and offered to stay and care for Miya.
She suggested Faye take Darnley back to rest.
But since there was no one to take care of Darnley if they returned, Faye decided to stay with Miya and let Lucia take Darnley ho.
Seeing Hunter resolutely sitting by her side, Faye said, "Hunter, you should go rest with Lucia."
"Joking, if you, a woman, can endure, surely I, a man, can too?"
Hunter grinned mischievously, "Don’t think I’m old; I’m still quite vigorous, want to try?"
Faye rolled her eyes at him, no one could jest like a man.
