Zoey clutched her clothes tightly, her heart skipping a beat the moment she saw Fitch. It felt like she was finally breathing again.
She sat there, motionless, drained of all strength.
The pleading voices of Mr. Jones and Gemma echoed in her ears, followed by the sound of someone striding towards her.
Her clothes were disheveled, her hair a mess.
Fitch shrugged off his jacket and draped it over her, "It's all right now."
Zoey was still dazed, her mind a chaotic mess.
It wasn't until she was lifted into his arms, her feet off the ground, that tears began to fall.
When Mr. Jones had pinned her down, she truly thought it was the end.
She hadn't been on guard against her colleagues, especially in a coffee shop they frequented often. She never imagined Gemma would dare to do such a thing.
She rested her head against Fitch's chest, still struggling to catch her breath.
As Fitch carried her out, the sound of Mr. Jones's screams echoed behind them, with no one knowing what awaited him.
Zoey's face was still pale when she was placed in the car.
Soon, she saw Nolan getting in as well.
Nolan looked as innocent as ever, but with noticeable red marks on his face.
Her pupils contracted in anger, wishing she could go back and slap Gemma and Mr. Jones dozens of times for laying a hand on such a sweet child!
Outside the car, numerous officials from Zion City stood, including the principal, all drenched in sweat and silent.
The son of a major investor had been hit by a teacher, and the woman the investor was interested in was almost assaulted by a local official. Zion City seemed doomed.
The principal wiped the sweat from his forehead, and no one dared to speak.
Fitch didn't offer any explanation, simply instructing his assistant to drive off.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
