I Loved You in the Dark Until Someone Loved Me in the Light novel Chapter 175

The object struck her hard on the head, making her wince in pain.

Immediately after, a barrage of items was hurled at her from the crowd. Just then, a pair of strong hands suddenly pulled her into a solid embrace, shielding her completely.

A familiar, crisp scent instantly filled her senses. She looked up and saw York.

He turned his back to the mob, taking the brunt of the projectiles for her. Tucked safely in his arms, the chaotic screaming faded into the background, overpowered by the sound of objects thudding against his back.

She gazed up at him. The man was frowning, yet his eyes were calm, unwavering in his determination to protect her in that moment.

Gillian's heart gave a violent lurch.

Security guards rushed over, shouting at the crowd to disperse.

The mob scattered.

York looked down at the red mark on her forehead. "Does it hurt?"

Gillian reached up, lightly touching the spot. "I'm okay."

He gave a faint, cynical smirk and let go of her. "That news broke yesterday. You should have expected something like this today. Where is your brain?"

Gillian stared at him. "You knew about the news already. You said you'd get my father out safely, so why didn't you handle it?"

She demanded an answer.

"Go online right now and look for those articles. Are they still there? The only reason they came for you in person is because their online crusade was shut down."

She froze for a moment, genuinely shocked and slightly overwhelmed. She had assumed Xavier was the one who suppressed the media, never expecting...

Never expecting that York had actually taken care of it.

But on second thought, she was probably just reaping the benefits of the child she had already lost. If it weren't for that baby, York wouldn't have bothered to help her today.
