    At that moment, out of the corner of Dawn’s eye, she caught a flecting shadow outside the living room window.


    He’s here.


    Dawn’s heart finally settled.


    As if there was nothing that couldn’t be resolved as long as he was here.


    “Jennifer.” Her calm gaze fell on the woman. “I’m curious. You’re in your prime. Why are you so fiercely loyal to Vincent? It’s like you’d die for him if he asked.”


    Jennifer froze slightly, her eyes drifting into a brief daze.


    In that split second, the door burst open, and a figure rushed in, swiftly wrapping an arm around Dawn’s waist and pulling her safely aside.


    Right after that came a flood of bodyguards and police officers.


    The scene shifted so fast that no one had time to react.


    Jennifer was pinned down by two bodyguards, unable to move.


    She red at Dawn, cursed at her, then shouted, “Dawn West, you’re absolutely despicable!”


    “Shut up!”


    A deep male voice thundered with rage.


    Ethan turned and gently touched the back of Dawn’s head, asking softly, “Are you okay?”


    Dawn looked at his face so close to hers, real and grounding, and shook her head.


    Ethan kissed her forehead, then ordered the bodyguards, “Take everyone to the police station. Work with them closely. You must find out who’s behind this and what they were trying to do!”


    “Yes, sir!”


    The room fell into chaos.


    The doctors had already packed away their equipment, leaving no obvious signs behind.

    Once most of the people were gone, Ethan bent down, scooped Dawn up in his arms, and strode out.


    In the car.


    Tony set the air conditioning to afortable temperature and drove slowly.


    Dawn hadn’t spoken since earlier. The light was gone from her bright eyes, as if they were shrouded in mist.


    “Dawn.”


    Ethan cupped her face and met her gaze.


    “What did they bring you here to do?”


    Dawn’s eyes flickered slightly as she looked up at him. “Ethan, if I said your father destroyed my entire family, would you still want to be with me?”


    The night in the suburbs was pitch–ck. Heavy rain battered the windows, crackling nonstop. Yet inside the car, it was eerily quiet. Against that contrast, even breathing sounded loud.


    The atmosphere turned strange.


    Tony nced at the rearview mirror and didn’t even dare to break the tension.


    <i>Ms. </i><i>Porter’s </i><i>question</i><i>… </i>


    <i>Talk </i><i>about </i><i>loaded</i><i>. </i>


    The light was dim. The man’s crisp suit had been rumpled during the operation, but it only added to his wild, defiant edge.


    His neatly pressed pants were smeared with wet blood and mud, dripping slowly along the sharp creases.


    One arm was wrapped around Dawn, the distance between them so small.


    Yet even this close, neither could read the other’s thoughts.


    A long, long time passed.


    Dawn was nearly drifting off when his hoarse, restrained voice finally came. “Dawn, do I have to answer?<b>” </b>

    Did he really have to answer?


    Dawn realized maybe not.

    She lowered her gaze, then suddenly nestled into the hollow of his neck, found afortable position, and murmured. “I’m sleepy.”


    “Okay,”


    He stroked her hair. “Get some rest.”


    After something like that, Dawn was naturally taken back to Eastcrest Regency Residence. Tony stayed behind to deal with the police.


    Dawn was already asleep when she was carried upstairs.


    The police were supposed to question her, but given her state, they had to wait until


    tomorrow.


    Ethan carefullyid her on the bed and tucked her in. His deep gaze clung to her face, unwilling to leave.


    Her sleep was restless, her brows slightly knit.


    Strands of hair clung to her pale face.


    She looked like cracked porcin, ready to shatter at the lightest touch.


    He watched her for a long while, then went to the bathroom and filled a basin with warm water. He wrung out a towel and gently wiped her face and hands.


    After that, he carried the water back to the bathroom.


    The rain outside kept pounding, dark and relentless over the city.


    Ethan finished his shower. He had several missed calls on his phone. He nced at them, but didn’t respond. He switched the phone to silent and set it on the nightstand.


    He lifted the other side of the nket andy down. Almost immediately, the woman turned toward the warmth as she always did.


    Ethan’s body still carried the coolness from the shower. That chill made the woman roll into him, then roll away again.


    A bit helpless, he propped himself on one arm and watched her from the side.
