“Baron…”
In that fleeting moment, Natalie’s heart began to race, pounding against her chest like a drum.
He is such a good man; how could I ever take him for granted?
Just as she opened her mouth to voice her thoughts, Baron abruptly slammed on the brakes, the tires screeching against the pavement.
The sudden jolt caught Natalie off guard, and before she could brace herself, her forehead collided with the windshield, a sharp pain radiating through her head. But it was the sight that followed that truly terrified her.
A figure, drenched in blood, staggered out from the shadows and collapsed right in front of their car.
“Are you okay?” Baron’s voice was laced with concern, his gaze darting between Natalie and the injured person outside.
His priority was clear; despite the accident, his focus remained on her well-being.
He had reacted too quickly, and even with her seatbelt fastened, the impact had left a mark on Natalie’s skin.
As he noticed the crimson hue beginning to form on her forehead, Baron felt a surge of resentment directed at the unfortunate soul sprawled on the ground.
Why did they have to run into the street at such a critical moment?
Natalie’s head throbbed, but she pushed aside her discomfort, her thoughts racing towards the life that lay before them.
“Baron, what’s happening with that person? Should we call for help?”
“I’ll check on them first. Stay put,” he instructed, his tone firm yet protective.
Baron’s heart ached at the sight of Natalie’s injury, and he felt an overwhelming urge to confront the person who had caused this chaos.
But Natalie shook her head resolutely.
“I’m coming with you. I think I recognize that person.”
“What?” Baron’s surprise was palpable.
Natalie’s social circle was limited; if she knew this individual, it was likely someone who had shown her kindness in the past.
With that thought in mind, Baron opened the car door and stepped out first, scanning the area for any potential dangers. Satisfied that the coast was clear, he motioned for Natalie to join him.
She hurried to the front of the car, her heart racing as she approached the fallen figure.
The sight was horrifying—the woman lay there, bloodied and bruised, yet Natalie could still make out her features.
“Natalie!”
Instinctively, Natalie crouched down beside her.
“Baron, call an ambulance right away! This is the boss’ wife from that shop behind the Grand Pavilion!”
Baron’s eyes narrowed in realization, yet he acted swiftly, dialing for both an ambulance and the police.
This wasn’t Murica.
