He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 376

"Step away from my wife," Yardley ordered, his voice dripping with venom.

"You're out of your mind," Julian and Scarlett snapped in unison.

Scarlett shot him a look of absolute disgust, then glanced at the unconscious Sylvia. "Focus your energy on your precious cousin, Mr. Flynn. I don't need your performative heroism."

The memory of him firmly choosing Sylvia just moments ago made her feel physically sick.

"Are you okay? Did they hurt you? Do we need to get you to a hospital?" Julian asked, his voice thick with concern.

Scarlett offered a weak smile and shook her head. "I'm—"

Before she could finish the sentence, a terrifying wave of heat bloomed deep in her core.

It was an eerily familiar sensation. It felt exactly like the time at the camping base.

*No. You have got to be kidding me.*

Her face drained of color as panic set in. The drug they had injected her with—it was the exact same compound.

She shot Julian a desperate, wide-eyed look.

Noticing the shift in her expression, he was about to ask what was wrong when he saw her cheeks flush a deep, unnatural crimson. Her eyes were already beginning to glaze over.

*Damn it.*

Having been through this nightmare with her before, Julian knew exactly what was happening. Without a second of hesitation, he scooped her up into his arms.

But before he could take a single step, Yardley moved, shoving the muzzle of his gun hard into the center of Julian's back.

"You are crossing a line, Julian," Yardley snarled, his voice rough. "She is still my wife. Put her down."
