My Invincible Husband Has Returned novel Chapter 246

Liam darted forward with lightning speed, kicking the bodyguard's chest and sending him flying back several meters. The man slammed into a display window with a thud, blood spilling from his mouth as his eyes rolled back. He slumped to the ground, unconscious, amidst the shards of broken glass.

The once noisy mall fell eerily silent, the crowd of eager onlookers stunned into stillness.

People who had snapped out of their shock started snapping pictures with their phones, capturing the fallen bodyguard and Liam as he scooped Jovie into his arms.

Liam cradled Jovie, examining the bump on her forehead with concern. He brushed her hair back and tenderly blew on the bruise, his whole being exuding a fierce protectiveness that seemed to chill the air.

Jovie clung to Liam, her sobs breaking through the quiet, "Daddy, it hurts... Daddy, it hurts right here..."

Liam's voice was soft but filled with pain as he comforted her, "Daddy's here, sweetheart. Daddy's got you. It'll stop hurting soon, I promise. How about we get some ice cream after this, okay?"

Jovie nodded through her tears, her sobs subsiding.

Once Jovie calmed down, Liam turned his icy glare to the remaining bodyguards, his anger palpable. "Are you blind? Can't you see a little girl? This is a mall, not your personal playground!" His gaze then landed on the haughty woman at the center of it all, and his fury deepened.

He used to think the online stories about stars shutting down streets and shops for their own convenience were just publicity stunts. However, as he witnessed the same arrogance unfolding in real life, Liam felt his blood boil.
