He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 652

Talia's tears broke like a dam, streaming down her pale cheeks.

She threw herself into Chatwin's chest, hugging his waist tightly, finally sobbing uncontrollably.

"I do! I was so scared!"

"Wah... I thought... I thought I'd never see any of you again..."

"They were so mean, kicking and hitting me. They said they were gonna sell me to some compound and have a hundred guys... it was terrifying! I was scared to death!"

"Wah... is it really you, Chatwin? I'm not dreaming? I'm not dead?"

Realizing this was reality, Talia finally felt a sense of safety.

She buried her face in his chest, letting all her emotions out.

Because Chatwin usually joked around with her, the current moment felt exceptionally surreal.

He dropped his usual roguish demeanor, wrapping his arms around her and holding her securely.

He raised a hand, gently patting her back.

"Shh, it's okay now."

His voice was low and steady. "You're safe. Don't be afraid."

Talia clung tightly to his neck, wiping her snot and tears all over his clothes.

"I was terrified! How could I not be?"

"I thought I was really going to die here. I never expected you to come save me, Chatwin!"

"I... how am I ever going to repay you? You're my lifesaver, wah..."

The sheer relief of surviving made Talia incredibly emotional, and she refused to let go of his neck.

Chatwin couldn't help but laugh, softly patting her shoulder to soothe her.

But unexpectedly, right at that moment, Sylvia locked her eyes on the gleaming fruit knife.

In that split second when Scarlett and Julian let their guard down, Sylvia lunged, grabbing the knife and thrusting it viciously toward Scarlett!

"Watch out!"

Stellan shouted from behind.

In a flash, Stellan kicked out, his boot connecting hard with Sylvia's wrist!

Simultaneously, Julian sensed the danger, swiftly turning Scarlett around and shielding her tightly in his arms.

The blade sliced across Julian's arm before clattering loudly onto the floor.

Seeing the blood gushing from Julian's arm, Scarlett was instantly engulfed in fury. She glared fiercely at Sylvia.

"Are you insane, Sylvia?! If you want to go to prison, I'll gladly send you there!"
