Attempting to Escape Responsibility

The two hugged each other tightly. Eric suddenly thought of something and pushed Ella away to look her up and down. "Are you hurt...your forehead..."

Eric's eyes revealed a violent aura. Ella had a big swelling on her forehead because the woman's fist just hit her there.

Ella forced a smile, tears streaming down her face. "Honey, I'm fine... I really am!"

It was just a small injury, much less significant than his!

Finally, she could fight back without dragging Eric down!

"I'm sorry I couldn't… protect you better!" Eric felt a wave of pain seeing Ella in tears and pulled her into a tight embrace.

Inside, he was filled with fear. The moment he rushed in, he heard a strange woman's angry voice, and he realized Ella was in danger!

If he had been just one second late...

He might be holding Ella's lifeless body right now!
