Bradon gave him a friendly pat on his shoulder, chuckling, "You're one tough cookie!"
Freddy managed to force a smile.
Carson's actions weren't deemed foul, game on.
However, less than ten minutes later, the ball hit Freddy's head again, and one of Carson's teammates was given a yellow card for the foul. Freddy's face was swelling up, but he insisted on continuing the game.
As time went on, people started to smell a rat. Except for the first goal by Carson, neither team scored again, but Freddy seemed to be the punching bag. Within 20 minutes, his face and legs had been hit, he was bruised all over.
Yet, the referee couldn't catch any evidence of Carson's team intentionally fouling.
Freddy, now injured, was slowing down. He was either knocked down by the ball or by his teammates. Despite being beaten black and blue, he insisted on finishing the game.
His sportsmanship touched everyone!
The crowd was moved, but Freddy was starting to panic inside. The game was about to end, his team hadn't scored a goal, and if the game continued like this, he'd lose the five million dollars!
In the stands, Cindy was equally worried. She was not worried about Freddy's physical condition, but her own fifty thousand dollars. If Freddy lost his five million, it wouldn't matter, he was loaded. But her fifty thousand was her hard-earned money.
Ever since she got together with Freddy, to prove to his family that she wasn't after his money, she had refused to let Freddy buy her anything expensive. The fifty thousand dollars was all her savings!
Marina was watching the field anxiously. Seeing Freddy getting kicked and bruised, she finally got it, this was Carson's way of getting revenge for her!
In the last minute, the ball was at Carson's feet. He dribbled the ball, skillfully dodging everyone's defense, and shot towards the goal.
Freddy happened to be in front of the goal. All he knew was that he couldn't let them score again, so he threw himself in front of the goalie.
The ball, with a tremendous force, whistled towards him, hitting him straight in the face. Freddy felt a sharp pain in his nose and a warm stream running down his nostrils.
Carson walked straight towards the stands, stood in front, and waved at Marina, "Come here!"
Marina walked over in a daze, "What's up?"
Carson suddenly wrapped his arm around her neck, bent down and passionately kissed her on the lips.
Marina was completely stunned, looking at Carson's smiling eyes up close. She froze, not daring to move!
The audience was stunned for a moment, then burst into gasps and screams!
At that moment, Freddy was just helped up and was leaving the field. When he saw the two kissing, he was extremely shocked, his mind in chaos. How did he know Marina?
What was their relationship? How could they kiss in front of everyone like that?
