When Malcolm lifted her shirt, a cool breeze brushed her skin, catis Herse to shiver.
Her skin was soft and delicate, except for a deep bruise on her waist it looked like someone had really let her have it. She must’ve borne the pain because most people would be down for the count with that kind of hurt.
His fingers cool yet gentle, touched the bruise, making Reese inhale sharply.
Ouch…
“How come you didn’t feel it earlier? Picking a fight like that, are you out of your mind?”
Malcolm’s words were usually soft and tender towards Reese, unlike today, his tone laced with an unspoken reprimand.
Reese bit back her pain and retorted stubbornly. “What would you have me do? Let them violate me and wake up to scandalous photos of myself in the news the next day?”
After all, she wasn’t just fighting for her own dignity but also for the reputation of the Flynn family. And yet, instead of gratitude, he was scolding her.
Malcolm applied the first aid cream gently, his voice as p

“I’m worried about you, silly girl. Other women your age are thinking about love or basking in their boyfriend’s affection. But not you; you’re ready to battle like a warrior, leaving me feeling rather hopt as a husband.”

Reese had never known the feeling of being cherished. But she knew full well that no one chose to be invulnerable. Without strength, who would see her vulnerability?
She couldn’t help but mock herself, “Like you said, some people are cherished. I’m not.
No matter what happened, even if the sky came falling down, only she could hold it up.
Malcolms fingers, applying the first aid cream, stopped as Reese felt his warm breath on her delicate skin. She wanted to disappear.
“How can you say no one cherishes you now? Isn’t your husband caring enough for you?”
Hearing Reese’s voice, he sensed her story–a girl shielded by a frosty distance and distrust for others, like herself up in solitude whether in sorrow or hurt.

His chest felt as though it was being tugged, aching slightly.
Suddenly, Reese felt warmth envelop her back as the man behind he held her tight. Her spine stiffened, her body tense.
She heard his deep, resonant vnice next to her ear, “From now on, take good care of you. No more suffering, no more injustice. For the rest of our lives, 111 be there to protect you.
Reese’s eyes narrowed, and her heart skipped a beat; she was momentarily at a loss for a response.
Malcolm’s words dropped like a stone on her calm heart, rippling its surface.

mother had possessed half the sense and indifference Reese had now, she might still be alive.
To be happy and strong as a woman, one had to keep her distance from men. Without men’s cruelty, the world wouldn’t have so many piteous women.
The emotional stir within her was brought back under control by reason, and the chill returned to Reese’s eyes. She thrust her elbow Into Malcolm’s waist.
Caught off guard, the man winced in pain and reflexively stepped back.
Reese turned around, straightened her clothes, and told him firmly.
“I don’t need anyone to protect me. I can protect myself.”
After saying that, she tugged open the car door. With determination etched into her movements, she stepped out, her figure gradually fading from Malcolm’s line of sight.
At that moment, Justin hurried over with a bottle of mineral water. tr. Flynn, your water,” he said, about to hand it off as he took a quick glance around the interior of the car. “Where’s Reese?”
“She left,” Malcolm said, his hands fidgeting with a tube of first aid eam as a wry smile danced across his lips.
Malcolm had never felt such a sense of defeat with women before–Reese had coldly rejected him.
How deeply had she been hurt?

“Increase it to seven figures.”
“Understood.”
After exiting the car, Reese found a coffee shop, took out the first–aid antiseptics she had bought, and started applying them to her wounds. Some were so severe that even a light touch caused her agony, let alone applying medication.
Reese shivered in pain, especially when the sting of the antiseptic hit her open wounds yet, she clenched her teeth so tightly that she didn’t make a sound.
Pain like this was something she had once been accustomed to; she even considered it a good thing, since it kept her sharply alert.
Once she had taken care of her wounds, she stepped out of the coffee shop and received a call from Calvin.
Her voice was frigid as she slid to answer.
