Desires Die Hard novel (Anya and Evan) novel Chapter 401

Chapter 401 

“What’s going on?” 

“Did Ms. MacMillan really do that?” 

“I know it is a cliché but, never judge a person by his appearance, guys.” 

“She never paid her parents‘ support? Really?” 

“Who knows!” 

The guests started whispering and pointed fingers at Anya as if she was the bad guy. 

But in fact, the MacMillans didn’t treat Anya well. Why would she support them? 

The outsiders could certainly not know the inside story. They would only believe what they saw. 

The whispers grew louder. Jake tried to take Anya out of here, so he immediately told Anya beside him, “Anya, let me send you down first. I will report it to Mr. Welton as soon as possible. Don’t worry. We will find out who is behind this!” 

Biting her lip, Anya looked at Jake and then eyed the guests expressionless. She nodded and got ready to get off of the stage with Jake. 

But the next second, the shelf hanging above the stage had come loose and rocked. 

Someone saw it and immediately screamed, “Oh my God! The shelf is falling. Everyone, run!” 

Hearing the scream, everyone looked up. 

The shelf in the ceiling had shaken badly and was about to fall. Seeing that, the guests shouted in a panic. They got up and rushed to swarm out. 

There was an awful lot of confusion at the scene. People shrieked and stepped on each other just to find a way out.

The designers on the stage had started to run down off the stage, while Anya and Jake couldn’t leave the stage at once since they walked at the rear.

Jake jumped down to the ground, and then he turned and reached out to catch Anya, trying to pull her down. 

But it was too late. The shelf fell with a bang! Evan, who had been sitting in the VIP seat, ran onto the stage and held Anya in his arms as the shelf fell. 

And then he flung himself to the floor and protected Anya with his body. 

The bodyguards quickly came over to rescue them. 

However, when they arrived, they found that the back of Evan’s foot was pierced through by an iron pipe, bleeding. 

But Anya was held tightly in his arms, safe and sound. 

The bodyguards pulled Evan up and take him to the hospital immediately. Anya was helped up too. She stood by in shock for seconds, at a loss. But when she came to her senses, she ran to catch up with them at once. 

She cast a glance at Evan’s bleeding foot and quickly looked away because she couldn’t bear to take another look again. Feeling her heart was broken, she couldn’t hide her care for him anymore. She cried with red eyes, “Evan, you have to be okay!” 

Evan knew that this injury was nothing to him. It might just need to take some time to get healed. But hearing Anya’s words and seeing her tears, Evan was so much touched. 

He reached out and touched Anya’s hair, “I will be fine. I still need to take care of you all, right?” 

Of course, when he said that, he meant Anya, Nathaniel, and Eudora. 

Anya bit her lip hard and burst into tears. Evan’s foot still didn’t stop bleeding. She could tell that the wound was rather deep, which made her so scared that something would happen to Evan. 

“Evan, promise me, you have to be okay!” Anya held his hand and cried out. “I can’t live with it if
