Jared’s back of the suit was covered in blood, but he seemed to forget the pain as he looked at Ellen, who was safe and sound, and smiled.
When Ellen was untied, she rushed over to Jared. She gazed at him but couldn’t speak for a moment. Finally, she choked up and said, “I don’t want you to die.”
Jared wiped her tears with his hand and smiled softly. “Silly girl, we won’t die.”
“Young Master, treat your wounds before we go back.” The bodyguards came over with a medical kit. They were all on edge during the dangerous moment just now, but they didn’t dare to act without Jared’s command.
Moreover, they would not take the chance if Ellen was still in danger. They knew how important she was to Jared. “Detain these people and hand them over to the police,” Jared ordered in a low voice.
“Hey! Young Master, did I do a good job just now? Can you let us go?” The leader immediately pleaded, hoping that Jared would spare them.
Jared turned his head and looked at him coldly. “You kidnapped my girlfriend and expected me to let you go? Dream on.”
The leader instantly fell silent. He realized that even if he hadn’t helped, the young master wouldn’t have been seriously injured. He would have only suffered minor injuries at best, just like now, because he had the upper hand of having a lot of bodyguards.
Jared removed his suit jacket and shirt, revealing two deep wounds bleeding profusely. Ellen had never seen anything like this before. Tears instantly filled her eyes, and she didn’t want to look, but she had to.
The bodyguards were used to dealing with bloody scenes and calmly handled Jared’s wounds. They cleaned and disinfected the wounds, stopped the bleeding, bandaged them, and wrapped them with bandages. Then, they gave him a clean set of clothes to wear.
After changing into clean clothes, Jared looked as if nothing had happened. He walked over to Ellen and noticed that her eyes were swollen from crying. He hugged and comforted her, “It’s okay, it’s all over now. I’ll never let you experience this kind of fear again.”
Ellen closed her eyes and nodded gently in his embrace. Just now, she experienced something more profound than love. She had never known how important she was in his heart.
Why shouldn’t she love this man? She was also sure of one thing. Jared was more important to her than her life. He was willing to die for her, and she would do just the same.
On their way back, Jared and Ellen shared a car. Back in the city, the car went straight to the hospital owned by the Presgrave Group. The doctor rechecked the wound and advised Jared to stay in the hospital for two days.
Ellen followed him to a special ward. Although it was called a ward, it was more like a cozy suite with everything needed. It was specifically for hosting the Presgraves.
“Stay in the hospital for two days with me,” Jared told Ellen. “Okay.” Ellen nodded. As long as she was with him, she would be happy wherever she was.
Ellen pursed her lips. I have something else to tell him! But she was too shy and embarrassed to say it.
As soon as Jared was about to lie down on his side, he saw Ellen looking troubled, so he immediately sat up again and reached out to rub the back of her head. “What’s wrong? Is there something else you want to tell me?”
“Do you want to hear it?” Ellen looked up and asked him. “Of course. I want to know anything about you,” Jared said in a domineering yet gentle tone.
Ellen’s heart seemed protected with a safe, and she took a deep breath to say, “Do you remember that night?” This was the man with whom she shared a deep connection. Jared immediately knew which night she was referring to. He hoarsely asked, “What about that night?”
