Chapter 782 Not Worth Your Love Anymore
But just then, the car behind suddenly rammed into the van, causing Douglas to jolt and drop the dagger under the seat cushion.
"There's the police!"
Several police cars surrounded the van.
"Damn it!" Douglas had only one thought in his mind: he had to ruin Juniper's face. He frantically groped for the dagger under the seat.
The driver suddenly slammed on the brakes, and the police cars had them blocked in.
Douglas finally found the dagger.
"We're surrounded!" the burly man shouted anxiously.
"Grab her!" Douglas commanded.
Juniper shouted to the two burly men, "He can't escape. If you catch him, I promise to let you go."
Five police cars, with over a dozen guns, were aimed at the van.
"Listen up inside, you are surrounded. Don't make any meaningless resistance. Get out and surrender..." the captain shouted through a megaphone.
"Juniper..." Anthony hurriedly got out of the car.
"You can't go over there, it's dangerous," the captain quickly stopped him.
Anthony was extremely anxious. He would rather trade his life for hers, but he feared that his actions might provoke the captors and put Juniper in more danger.
'Juniper, you must be okay, you must...' Anthony's anxiety was at an all-time high.
A minute later, the van door opened, and two bodyguards dragged a dejected Douglas out like a ragdoll.
"Juniper—" Anthony rushed forward, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine..." Being able to see him alive was such a relief that Juniper felt like crying.
Her legs gave out, and she collapsed into Anthony's arms.
She lost consciousness.
At that moment, a photo of Anthony holding Juniper suddenly went viral on Facebook.
The photo cropped out the police and everyone else, showing only Anthony holding Juniper, making it look like they were kissing.
The Facebook post quickly exploded in popularity.
[Yesterday it was Douglas, today it's Anthony. The news lately has been wild. Another affair?]
[Oh my god, my dream guy, isn't he getting married in two days?!!]
[If even Anthony is like this, are there any trustworthy men left in the world?]
[Caleb was exposed for having an affair before. I thought Anthony was different. Is infidelity hereditary in the Eilish family?]
[Are there any men who don't cheat? I can't trust men anymore.]
[Cheaters are all scumbags, especially at a time like this. I can't believe I liked him for so many years!]
[No wonder Hera was the only one busy with the wedding preparations. Reporters also said she seemed off. Turns out there was really something going on. Hera said he was busy—busy seeing his mistress? Does she really not know or is she pretending? So pitiful.]
[With such a beautiful fiancée, he still cheats. Are men nowadays all this despicable?]
[That mistress looks like a bad woman. How can she compare to Hera's elegance? The photo is a bit blurry. Does anyone know the mistress's identity? Expose her and let her experience online harassment!]
Hera angrily shouted at the photo.
Her intuition was right again. Anthony had been acting increasingly strange because he had been seeing Juniper!
That bitch kept saying she had no intention, but she followed him from home to Libertonia, and then from Harmony City back home.
'Is that what she calls having no intention? She just wants to ruin my wedding!' Hera thought furiously.
"I won't allow it, Juniper. I won't let you take Anthony away..." Hera said, trembling. "No, you won't!"
She forwarded the photo.
In just two minutes, when Hera checked the Facebook news again, the original top trending post had been taken down.
Not only that, but all shares and comments about the news had vanished, as if it had never existed.
'Anthony, you acted quickly. Are you that eager to protect your mistress?' Hera's heart turned cold.
Juniper slowly opened her eyes.
The first thing she saw was a small lily lamp.
This lamp... it looked so familiar, like it was in Anthony's bedroom.
Was she dreaming again? Why did it feel so real?
She tried to rub her eyes but found her hand was being held. Looking over, she saw Anthony holding her hand.
This wasn't a dream!
As soon as Juniper regained her memory, she pulled her hand away.
Anthony opened his eyes, "You're awake."
He had actually fallen asleep just now. He hadn't slept for 48 hours, and only by her side could he fall asleep.
"Why did you bring me here?"
"You fainted."
"I... Then you could have taken me to the hospital."
Anthony knew that, but he didn't want to. He just wanted to be alone with her, even if it was for the last bit of time.
He really was pathetic, saying goodbye to her again and again, saying he would let go, but he couldn't. Every time he saw her, he still wanted to get closer.
"The doctor checked you. You fainted from stress, but you're fine."
"Okay, thank you."
If it weren't for him, she would have been disfigured by now. Juniper wasn't ungrateful; she was very thankful to him.
But at the same time, she couldn't help but think about other things. Was it just a coincidence that he was passing by? Had he been waiting at the hospital all along?
Did her harsh words last time still not make Anthony give up?
'Anthony, please give up. I don't want to hurt you more. I really don't know how to face you,' Juniper thought helplessly.
"What time is it?"
"Eleven o'clock."
"I should go back." Juniper hurried to get up, still feeling a bit dizzy.
Anthony quickly supported her, "You're still very weak. Rest here for the night."
"Do you think that's appropriate?"
"I won't do anything to you," Anthony quickly said.
"I know, but I can't get over it myself. You're getting married in two days, Anthony. You should be with Hera, not with me."
"If I wasn't there, who knows what would have happened to you."
Juniper's face tightened, "I'm very grateful to you, but we shouldn't see each other anymore. I can't bear the psychological burden; it's very torturous for me."
"You didn't do anything wrong. You don't need to feel guilty. It's all my fault; it's my one-sided wish."
"Do you think I can completely distance myself from this situation? Every time I'm alone with you, the guilt feels like a blade twisting in my heart. I feel so ashamed."
"You shouldn't think that way." Anthony didn't have time to feel sorry for himself; he felt more sorry for her.
"If you don't want me to feel guilty, then don't look for me anymore. Only if you stay away from my life can I feel at peace and not have to bear that pressure. I'm begging you, okay?" Juniper said weakly.
"Now we can't even meet?"
"No, we can't! If possible, I would rather we completely cut ties and never see each other again."
Anthony's heart was deeply hurt, "Do you really have to be so heartless?"
"I'm a very selfish person. I only want to think about myself and hope to live well, even if it means being heartless to others. I will always choose myself, do you understand? I'm not worth your love anymore."
