No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 530

Feeling the solid chest against me and inhaling the familiar scent, I froze.

Lifting my gaze, I saw Ernest.

His face was stern, yet his eyes burned with intense concern as he looked at me.

I had no clue how he found me here, but seeing him eased my fear instantly, making me forget that we had broken up. I clung to the hem of his shirt as if it were a lifeline.

He wrapped his arms around my waist, asking, “Are you hurt?”

If it really was him, his future looked grim.

He surveyed those writhing in pain on the ground with an icy voice, “Tell your boss to steer clear of my people.”

Then, turning to Shirley, who stood at the doorway equally stunned, he saw her shudder in fear. Hastily, she shook her head, “I didn't mean to harm Felicia, I—I came to set her free.”

But if not for her, I wouldn't be here. Yet, at this moment, my thoughts weren't on blaming Shirley. Tightening my grip on Ernest's fingers, I said, “I want to leave this place.”
