The man wiped blood from the corner of his mouth and glared at Lucian.
Lucian remained calm. Even if these men were about to attack him, he kept a cool composure. Instead, he spat in disgust, "If you ever touch her again, I'll make sure you pay for it."
If they hadn't touched Amelia, he wouldn't have hit them. Amelia was his trigger. If anyone hurt her, he wouldn't stop at anything. He would make sure that there were consequences.
"Wow, you look pretty decent. You're probably rich. Why don't you come over here and show us what you got then?" The man smiled with disdain as he gestured for the three other men to start attacking Lucian.
Meanwhile, he had pinned Amelia down. Smiling evilly, he said, "Your man may be a good fighter but he can't fight three people on his own unless he has three heads and six arms!"
They punched Lucian simultaneously. Since there were three of them, he wasn't able to dodge. Amelia had seen this entire scene unfold—two fists brutally landing a punch on Lucian's shoulders.
"Please! Stop fighting!" Amelia begged, tears streaming down her face.
The man was right. Even if Lucian was a good fighter, he was no match for the three. In a panic, she grabbed the man's sleeve and pleaded, "Can you stop them? Please? I'll apologize to you, okay?"
Lucian grew restless and furious upon hearing Amelia's crying. He retaliated with another punch.
Amelia was relieved to see that Lucian was fighting back. "Come on, Lucian!"
Lucian was motivated by Amelia cheering him on. However, as the two men fell on the ground, the other snuck behind Lucian and clapped the back of his neck. The sudden attack caused Lucian to fall to the ground. Amelia tried to speak but she couldn't—she had choked. She felt as if her heart had stopped beating when she saw Lucian fall.
"Lucian!" Amelia hurried towards him, tears pouring out of her eyes. She was extremely scared.
"I'm fine," Lucian murmured as he opened his eyes. He reached out to wipe the tears off Amelia's face—his face pale and weak.
"Don't say anything. I'll take you to the hospital." She then took out her phone and called Eric. She asked him to pick them up so he could drive them to the hospital.
The men were about to flee when Lucian fell on the ground but they were blocked by several men in black and promptly taken away.
"Sorry, Mr. Lucian. We're late." A man in black helped Lucian stand up and nodded apologetically.
"Can you help me take him to the hospital?" Amelia begged, looking at the man expectantly.
"Mrs. Amelia, please don't panic. We'll take Mr. Lucian to the hospital right now," the man in black comforted her.
Amelia didn't expect that the man in black would know who she was. Although she had no idea who the man in black was, she had to focus her attention on Lucian.
Just as she was helping him out of the yacht, he suddenly refused to go to the hospital saying that he'd be fine after a while.
Of course, Amelia refused. She insisted, "We need to go to the hospital. I'm worried about you!" She blushed after she spoke.
Lucian couldn't help but smile. He held Amelia's hand and said, "I feel much better. I don't have to go to the hospital anymore."
He felt as if he was already better now that Amelia was by his side again. He wasn't feeling any pain in the back of his neck anymore.
The group of men in black were still around so Amelia lowered her head in embarrassment, feeling uncomfortable.
"Don't get mad. Everything will be fine. Just teach those men a lesson," Lucian told the men in black with a cold look on his face.
Since Amelia didn't get hurt, there was no need to flare up but he still had to teach them a lesson.
Lucian's woman can't be treated like that.
The men in black obediently took the order and retreated quickly.
As Amelia watched them move swiftly, she was shocked. "Lucian Zhan, I feel like I'm shooting an action movie!"
With the fight and the men in black suddenly rescuing them, Amelia felt like she was in a movie as everything happened so quickly.
Upon seeing the amazed look on her face, he grinned and said, "Just Lucian's fine, okay? It sounds better."
Amelia immediately flushed. When Amelia said his name, he felt as if a warm current ran through his body, his heart fluttering.
Amelia lowered her head bashfully, just wanting to be swallowed whole by the ground. It felt so intimate to call him by just his name.
She was already accustomed to calling him Lucian Zhan and she hadn't realized that she'd called him by just his name.
