Seeing Alexis's actions, Lucas was first surprised and then immediately felt touched.
This slender and vulnerable little girl, who was deathly pale facing the numerous burly and armed security guards, was shivering in fear, yet she still dared to try and protect him from so many people.
How could Lucas not be touched by this?
"Alexis, step back." Lucas's voice became much gentler as he spoke to Alexis.
"No, t-they want to hit you. I won't let them hit you! Lucas, I'll stop them. You guys hurry and leave quickly!"
Alexis's voice was already shaking, but she nonetheless stood firmly in front of Lucas to shield him. She even asked him to run away with Jordan while she blocked the security guards.
It was so… lovable of her.
Lucas smiled and walked forward to grab Alexis and place her behind him. "Don't worry. I'll be fine."
