"Claire!" Rowan, deeply worried, hastily pulled the disheveled Claire into his embrace. "Claire, are you all right?!"
Sensing her feverish body, seeing her flushed cheeks, hands tightly guarding her chest, he knew something terrible had just happened to her.
"I'm sorry, Claire..." Rowan's heart ached.
If only he had arrived a moment later, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
"Sit down for now." Suppressing his raging anger, Rowan helped the girl into a chair, covering her with a blanket he grabbed nearby.
Trembling, Claire was still rational. She knew that Rowan had come to rescue her, yet the fear had not dissipated. She had been truly terrified just a moment ago.
She felt so hot... an unprecedented heat.
Rowan's furious gaze swept toward Taylor, who had taken a few steps back and just managed to steady himself, then he moved towards him! There was something sharp inhis eyes, a kind of fury!
As he neared Taylor, Rowan's eyes suddenly darkened, and he lunged forward to continue his frenzied assault on him!
"Ah...!"
Unable to dodge, Taylor let out cries of agony, trying to retaliate but finding no room to do so.
Rowan seemed to be addicted to pummeling him!
As a doctor, he knew how to avoid fatal blows, and considering their past brotherly bond, Taylor was soon left in excruciating pain, but not in a life-threatening condition.
"Ah...!" Taylor's screams rang out one after another.
Rowan's emotions verged on losing control, and he had no intention of stopping. His eyes were filled with a menacing glint!
"Stop..." Claire sensed the situation growing dire. Despite her lack of physical strength, her mind was clear. "Stop... fighting."
She didn't want this incident to escalate. If no one intervened, it would spiral out of control.
If the king found out, Taylor would be in serious trouble.
If Taylor suffered, Catherine might become an obstacle for Rowan...
The guards outside finally mustered the courage to enter upon hearing the sounds of the scuffle, and upon witnessing the two princes brawling, they were stunned for a few seconds!
Hastily, they rushed to intervene.
