"What?" Amber frowned and subconsciously looked towards the sound.
But before she could see what was going on, someone held her.
Jared carried her to the side.
The next second, a piece of glass crashed and let out a current-like sound.
"Ouch…" Jared suddenly hummed.
Amber heard him cry out in pain.
She saw his pale and sweaty face and hastily asked, "Are you okay?"
Jared didn't answer and let go of her. He grabbed his trembling right wrist with his left hand.
Amber looked down and exclaimed, "Your… your hand…"
"It's fine. Are you okay?" Jared lifted his head and asked concernedly. His eyes traveled on Amber quickly.
Amber's lips twitched, and she felt concerned and surprised at the same time.
Jared was injured, but the only thing he cared about was Amber.
Was he insane?
When Amber did not answer, Jared became nervous, "Are you hurt?"
"No," Amber shook her head.
Jared studied her for two seconds to confirm that she wasn't lying. He let out a faint sigh of relief and smiled weakly, "That's good."
Amber bit her lip and glared at him, "Good for what? Look at your hand!"
"It's okay," Jared said.
Amber pointed at his hand and said, "Is that how you call it?"
The back of his right hand had a tiny wound, revealing flesh and blood. And the rim of the wound turned charcoal like the burning mark. It was caused by something corrosive.
What could cause the quick corrosion? The answer was sulfuric acid!
Amber glanced at the car door corroded by sulfuric acid off most of the paint. The fluid was still bubbling on the ground. She immediately knew what had happened.
Someone tried to kill Amber with sulfuric acid.
Then Jared noticed it and helped her dodge the acid, which unfortunately splashed a drop on the back of Jared's hand. It caused serious burns on the back of Jared's hand.
In other words, if Jared hadn't saved her, the bottle of sulfuric acid would have splashed on her and burned her alive.
Maybe she was lucky and wouldn't die, but her skin would have been completely ruined and never to be repaired. She would become a terrible and ugly monster!
Amber's heart first skipped a beat in fear, and then anger and hatred rose.
She clenched her fist hard, and her eyes turned red as she looked towards the attacker.
The bodyguard leader had held the man. He looked ordinary, and his mouth was stuffed with a pair of gloves.
He grimaced as he struggled, chilling people out.
Amber didn't know him and why he held a grudge against her.
But it doesn't matter. Everything would be clear when they got to the police station!
The journalists and the online viewers witnessed this scene, and they were shocked beyond words.
They never thought that someone would throw acid at Amber.
It was a drama that would only happen on TV, but they saw it.
This was juicy! So, the journalists quickly aired it out!
Amber ignored the journalists and returned to Jared's side. She furrowed her brows and looked at his hand with concern.
"Car keys," Amber urged, "My car is written off. I need to take you to the hospital."
Jared looked at her, "In the left pocket."
"Pants or jacket?" Amber was a little angry at his vague expression.
She was in a hurry to get him to the doctor.
