Free Web NovelChapter 1219: Chapter 1219: Ryan Seys, Don’t Be Afraid, Auntie’s Here
Ryan Seys’s words were intermittent, but Jose Floyd still clearly heard a few phrases: ’Aunt, bleeding.’ These words made a chill rise along both sides of Jose Floyd’s arms.
Ryan’s small hand tugged at Jose Floyd as he ran, "My aunt is going to die...blood..."
Die——
This word reached Jose Floyd’s ears, causing his fingertips to tremble slightly, and his mind flashed with an image of Nicole, face pale, breathless, as if even her breathing had stopped, an indescribable feeling of sorrow welling up inside him.
Jose Floyd’s footsteps quickened alongside Ryan, and within a few steps, he was the one pulling Ryan along instead of being pulled.
Camden and the others followed closely behind.
Ryan was being pulled along by Jose Floyd, struggling to keep up with his pace, tears streaming down his face as he kept saying, "Aunt is bleeding...it’s because of me... Will she die..."
Ryan’s childish voice kept repeating this, making Jose Floyd’s steps even more frantic. Troubled and upset, Jose Floyd coldly snapped at Ryan, "Shut your mouth! If you say ’die’ one more time, I’ll sell you!"
"..." Ryan’s voice came to a sudden halt, his face showing anxiety and grievance, looking extremely aggrieved.
Soon, they came upon several people fighting in the alley.
As Jose Floyd and the others looked around, they saw Nicole fighting against five, with a man groaning on the ground.
At this point, it was clear that Nicole was physically exhausted, struck hard in the back by a stick, her brows furrowed deeply, her face drained of color.
Seeing this, Jose Floyd’s fingers clenched into fists, his eyes cold and terrifying, like Hell’s Yama, his icy gaze fixed on the man who struck Nicole with the stick.
He hadn’t issued a command, when Ryan, holding his hand, already dashed toward Nicole as he witnessed the scene.
"Aunt...Aunt..." Ryan’s hoarse voice echoed in the silent, breath-only alleyway, intensely stimulating the senses.
Nicole, just defending herself against three men attacking with sticks, immediately turned her head upon hearing Ryan’s shout. Seeing Ryan running towards her, her eyes froze, her voice weak as she cried out, "Don’t come, Ryan! It’s dangerous!"
Usually obedient, Ryan didn’t listen to his aunt this time. Deeply provoked by the sight of Nicole being hit again by a stick, he ran straight towards her.
"Ryan, watch out!"
Nicole’s eyes caught sight of two men she hadn’t blocked raising wooden sticks towards Ryan, her face as white as snow.
The stick falling on her already made her whole body tremble as if her bones had cracked. If it hit a few-year-old Ryan...
Nicole forcefully pushed away the three sticks she was defending against and quickly lunged toward Ryan.
Jose Floyd’s eyes were fixed, emitting a chilling light, "Camden, take action!"
"Yes, young master!"
Just as Camden and the others intended to intervene, they saw Nicole shield Ryan with her body, holding him in her embrace and taking the two sticks intended for him.
The sound echoed through the alley, mixed with Nicole’s low, powerless groans.
Jose Floyd’s eyes were filled with the image of Nicole’s pale face as she shielded Ryan, and as she took the blows, she fell to the ground beside him.
"Aunt! Aunt!" Ryan’s heart-wrenching cries echoed through the alley, striking a chord in those who heard.
Nicole lay at Ryan’s feet, giving him a gentle smile despite her face being white as snow, "Don’t be afraid, Ryan, Aunt is here."
