Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 72

Doing the math, it was about time for the launch. Only, the situation in that area wasn’t so great.

“David, please help me appease and calm everyone. Chase Group will not owe the employees a single penny.” Myra knew that if the foreman came to ask about this matter himself, then probably all the workers on the construction site were already on edge. She had to calm them down. “The Sunny Bay Project was approved by Hart Group. They will certainly not owe the workers money.”

It was only then did David breathe a sigh of relief and smiled. “We feel more relieved with Miss Stark’s reassurance. By the way, Director Hart also came to the site today—”

“Watch out!” Suddenly, a scream cut through the buzzing construction site, interrupting David.

Myra only felt as if there was something with a great momentum plunging down, the aim of which was her head.

At that moment, her body went rigid and she couldn’t react. Out of nowhere, she was pulled into a warm embrace that had a faint tobacco smell.

A loud bang was heard, followed by a muffled grunt. It sounded like something heavy had hit the ground, and it was as if it had also hit Myra’s heart.

“Director Hart!” The first to react was Tony’s secretary, Leo.

He was here with Tony to check the site, and when he suddenly saw the falling objects, he was shocked. However, Tony had run toward it in the blink of an eye. The brick had fallen from the fourth floor, and he had used his arm to knock it out of the way.

At this moment, the back of his left hand was battered, and his entire hand was dripping with blood.

Frantically, Leo ran toward him.

“Director Hart is injured!”

“Hurry up and call an ambulance!”

“Oh my God, what the hell happened upstairs? How could they be so careless?”

While the voices of the crowd echoed around them, Tony seemed to have not heard them. The veins on his forehead protruded, while his gaze was frightening. He then lowered his head and spoke with a voice that was no longer calm like usual, and his other arm was still hooked around the waist of the woman in his arms. “Are you okay? Are you hurt?”

His tone was urgent and anxious, and his face was somewhat contorted. Myra, however, was just staring blankly at the man in front of her.

Occasionally, there would be falling objects on the site, which was why everyone wore a helmet. Even so, if that brick had really hit her head, even if she didn’t bleed, she would have had a concussion.

But the man in front of her…

Suddenly noticing the wound on his other hand, she flinched, hastily broke free from his arms and grabbed his hand.

The back of Tony’s hand was a bloody mess. His skin had torn open revealing his flesh, and the blood was mixed with the ash and dust of the brick, making it look even more frightening.

Suddenly, her eyes reddened and she said helplessly, “How are you? Is your hand okay? Does it… does it hurt?”

As a matter of fact, this was the first time she had encountered such a thing. This was the first time someone had rushed to her aid when she was in danger.

It was a difficult emotion to describe. It felt very painful and bitter, as if there was someone squeezing her heart, making her chest tighten.

“Mr. Clark!” She came to her senses and hurriedly shouted at the crowd, “Hurry up and call an ambulance!”
