Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 448

Charles's POV:

My heart sank upon reading today's news.

Without wasting any second, I hurried to Wilson Group at once.

There I saw Caroline being surrounded by a group of people, who were cursing at her.

As if that was not enough, they also threw punches at her and kicked her.

The only thing she could do was curl up in pain and endure everything that was being thrown at her.

My breath stopped when I saw her lying helplessly on the ground. With that, I rushed towards her at once.

At that moment, a brutal-looking man clenched his fist and threw it at Caroline.

My heart skipped a beat. In a blink of an eye, I strode over and grabbed the man's hand.

"What the hell are you all doing?!" I asked while looking at the angry mob.

They lowered their heads and avoided my gaze.

Meanwhile, the man struggled to break free from my grasp.

"She deserves it. She's a murderer!" he bellowed.

"Yes. That vicious woman deserves to die!" the crowd echoed.

"The police will apprehend her if they find her guilty. You have no right to judge her. So, back off!" I roared.

Everyone fell silent.

Those who had acted so self-righteous just now lowered their heads in guilt.

Without another word, I withdrew my gaze and went to Caroline's aid.

Her body was covered with eggs and mud. What was more, she had multiple bruises on her arms. She lowered her gaze and remained curled up on the ground. She was trembling like a leaf, most probably from the pain and humiliation she had just gone through.

My heart wept for her. She had never been humiliated like this before.

It was awful to see her like this.

At this moment, I squatted down and offered my hand to her.

Thinking that I was yet another stranger who would hurt her, she dodged my hand unconsciously.

She looked like a rabbit in front of a snake.

I felt a pang in my heart. Unable to contain my emotions anymore, I held her in my arms.

Caroline raised her eyes in disbelief.

"Charles, what are you doing here?"

"It's okay, Caroline. I'm here. No one will hurt you anymore," I reassured her with the gentlest voice I could muster.

Those who had hurt her deserved to die.

I clenched my jaw as anger coursed through my veins.

"Thank you, but I'm fine," Caroline assured, but her eyes said otherwise.

They were red, and I could see that she was holding back her tears.

She looked even more pitiful.

I helped her stand up and reached to wipe the egg and mud off her forehead.

However, she remained prideful. She dodged my hand, causing her to lose balance and fall backward.

I instinctively grabbed her by the waist and pulled her to me, stopping her from falling.

Her face turned beet red in embarrassment. Upon realizing what had just happened, she struggled to break free from my arms.

"Charles, let go of me," she pleaded while glaring at me.

But instead of doing so, I lifted her chin and kissed her.

If it was only possible, I would integrate her into my flesh and blood so that we would never be apart.

Then, she would not be hurt ever again.

Caroline's BOV:

I could feel Charles's strong aura and his warm lips on mine.

The way he kissed me felt like he wanted to swallow me whole.

His warm touch was hypnotizing. He was holding my face gently as if he were holding a rare treasure.

My mind went blank.

Nothing seemed to matter anymore. And as we kissed, my breathing turned hot and heavy.

I stared at his deep eyes and felt like my body had a mind of its own. Before I knew it, I had given up struggling and succumbed to him.
