No Second Baby No You Only Divorce (Scarlett and Vincent) novel Chapter 684

The dark figure remained silent.

Melinda didn't wait any longer. She crouched down and reached out to nudge the person slumped against the flowerbed.

The next moment, Damian's body tilted slightly, then slumped fully onto the snow-covered ground.

Seeing it was really him, Melinda felt a surge of relief mixed with panic.

She tried to help him up, letting him lean against her shoulder.

Just then, Damian's eyes snapped open. His face was pale as he stared coldly at her and said, "Don't touch me."

Even with the blood visible on his clothes, Melinda still tried to support him after he pushed her away.

Damian avoided her gaze and attempted to rise on his own, but as soon as he pushed himself up, his tall frame collapsed back down.

Melinda quickly moved to steady him, her voice trembling with worry. "Do you hate me that much? You can't even stand me helping you?"

Damian stayed silent, gently but firmly pushing her away in clear refusal.

But Melinda grabbed his arm again, unwilling to back down. "Damian, face it—you and I keep finding each other. I saved you last time, and tonight I'm saving you again. We're tied together, like it or not. We're bound for life. You can't shake me off. And tonight, I'm helping you whether you want it or not..."

Tears streamed down her face as she spoke, but Damian didn't budge.

Feeling his resistance, Melinda turned to look at him and caught a faint, soft gleam in his eyes.

After a long pause, Damian suddenly let out a low, humorless laugh. Slowly, he pried her fingers from his arm, one by one.

Then, in a rough, tired voice, he asked, "Did I ever ask you to save me?"

Melinda was taken aback. "Damian, would you really rather die out here?"

The white snow around them was dotted with splashes of blood, a grim and unsettling sight.

Damian's laugh turned even darker. "Tonight, the only person who can save me is Scarlett."

With that, he forced himself up. Though the hospital was nearby, he didn't head toward it. Instead, he staggered to the roadside.

He lifted a hand and hailed a passing car.

Once inside, he gave the driver an address. "Theron Manor."

Melinda ran after him, crying out, "Damian, you're risking your life! For her, you'd throw everything away? Is she really that special? Is she worth this?"

The only response was the sound of the car horn as it pulled away.

Melinda stood frozen, tears cooling on her cheeks.

Gradually, she clenched her fists and screamed into the night, "Scarlett, why? Why did you take Nolan from me, and now Damian too? Why... Why?!"
