A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 449

Motherly love oozed out of Emily the moment her eyes landed on Jack. Even though she knew that Jack was alright, she couldn't control the barrage of questions that left her mouth.

She had been so panicked and frightened. She was scared of losing Jack again, and she was terrified of him getting hurt. If Emily didn't provide Jack with any help when he got hurt, she wouldn't be able to forgive herself.

However, Jack only looked at her icily. "What nonsense are you spouting? Do you have some screws loose in your head?"

Emily was stunned speechless by Jack's words. She suddenly remembered that there were still many issues between Jack and herself that hadn't yet been resolved.

Jack didn't have a clue about all the sacrifices that Emily had endured for his sake. While she had naturally slipped into the role of his "mother", Jack only felt disdain and discomfort in regards to her.

Emily belatedly realized that she had lost her composure. She wanted to come clean to him but was worried that Jack wouldn't accept her if she was too direct with him. Embarrassed, Emily said, "I… I was just worried about you!"

Jack didn't continue the conversation. He only stared coldly at her, wondering what else she had hidden up her sleeve.

Suddenly, a loud sound shattered the silence. Daniel's reinforcements had arrived. Daniel was smart enough to know that he didn't have enough men to oppose Emily and her group of bodyguards, so he had made up a lie, claiming that he had encountered violent resistance when he called for backup.

When the higher-ups at the public security office heard that an altercation had occurred, leading to Daniel and the other students getting injured, they immediately sent a large group of men to the scene. The men swiftly surrounded Emily and Quintis, along with their bodyguards.

The leader of the men was none other than Kristoff Mack, Daniel's father. Once he had ensured that Emily and Quintis had no way of escaping, he rushed forward to check on Daniel. "Danny, are you alright? Who was the one who hurt you? I won't forgive them!"

Daniel was Kristoff's only child, and he treated him like a precious treasure. It was because of Kristoff's protection that Daniel did as he pleased wherever he went. Every bad thing he had ever done had all gone unpunished. Kristoff had even bought a temporary job for Daniel for him to pass the time. All this time, it had always been Daniel who hurt others, and not the other way around.
