Chapter 76
Lillian was completely defenseless, too weak to resist.
Nicholas, like a mad beast, was in a hurry to undo his belt.
"Lillian, I'm about to become your man now. From today on, you belong to me!"
That's when I seized the moment and lunged forward, landing a brick on the back of his head, much to Lillian's astonishment.
Nicholas rolled his eyes, not even letting out a scream, and fell directly onto Lillian.
Lillian screamed in fright.
I breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting these two under control!
I quickly pulled Nicholas away and explained to her, "Miss, don't be afraid. I'm here to save you."
I took off my suit and offered it to her for cover, but it wasn't quite enough, so I removed my shirt too. She seemed overly frightened, yelling, "Stay away from me!"
I quickly gestured and said, "Don't be afraid; I'm not here to harm; I really am here to save you."
After comforting her for a while, her emotions calmed down.
Pointing to her torn clothes, I took off my shirt and said, "Here, put on this shirt to avoid exposure, and then I'll put the suit on myself."
Lillian looked down, her face turning red, and she said, "I... I don't have the strength right now, can you... help me?"
I didn't say anything. I just wanted to help her get dressed quickly and get out of there.
I ripped apart the torn clothes and helped her into my shirt. During this process, there were inevitable moments of contact. Given that she was a girl clad in nothing more than a small garment, it was only natural for a grown man like me to react.
She seemed embarrassed too. Trying to break the tension, she asked, "Are you a cop?"
"I'm not!"
I shook my head and answered, "You forgot you asked me for help at the cafe just now."
She was momentarily stunned but seemed to remember it, saying, "I remember now. It's you. You actually followed me."
"I didn't realize it at first, but later, I went to the seat you were sitting in at the cafe, saw the faint 'help' sign on the sofa, and realized that you might have been kidnapped."
"Yes, that was left by me."
She looked at me gratefully. "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have definitely been defiled by this beast."
"Are you friends?"
I was curious.
"Yes, he's my senior and has been pursuing me for a long time. I thought he was a good person, so I gave him a chance, but who knew..."
"You can't judge a book by its cover. Don't show off in front of others in the future because you never know if the person in front of you is a beast or not."
She nodded and said, "Um, my rescuer, I still don't know what to call you."
"No need for all that rescuer talk; just call me John."
"Thank you, John!"
Just then, her expression suddenly changed. "Quick, get out of the way!"
I felt a chill down my spine, a cold sensation rushing from my feet to my head.
I stood up and swung my left hand fiercely!
The sharp knife instantly pierced my suit, my arm stinging and my heart sinking.
Arthur, who I had knocked down with a brick, looked at me with blood all over his face, a fierce light in his eyes!
This stab also triggered my ferocity!
I punched him hard on the bridge of his nose.
There was a sickening crack, and blood gushed from his nostrils.
Another blow to his temple knocked him out cold. I didn't know if he was alive, but he wasn't getting back up.
This punch also successfully knocked him out. I didn't know if he was dead or alive, but it was definitely impossible for him to stand up again.
I gasped for breath, adrenaline surging.
Blood dripped from my fingertips.
"John, you're injured!"
She exclaimed.
I didn't pay attention to the wound. Instead, I found a rusty wire and tied Arthur and Nicholas's hands behind their backs, so even if they woke up, they wouldn't be able to ambush me!
After doing all this, I took off my clothes, revealing a wound about ten centimeters long on my right arm.
The flesh rolled. Although it looked scary, fortunately, it didn't hit any bones.
I quickly used a military knife to cut open the suit and bandage the wound; the whole process, I was very calm.
Just then, the Nokia rang again. I answered the phone and heard the voice on the other end say, "I've transferred half of the money. I need to ensure my daughter's safety before transferring the other half..."
"No need to transfer the money. Your daughter is safe,” I assured them,
When I handed her the phone, hearing her father's voice, she couldn't hold back anymore. She started crying, "Dad, come pick me up! I've been rescued at the unfinished villa on the west side of the city. Remember to bring a first aid kit; someone is injured!"
"Okay, Lillian, Dad will be right there! Don't worry, I'll be there in ten minutes at most."
I nodded; this girl still had a conscience; she even thought of me at this critical moment.
After that, the call was not hung up. Lillian kept talking to her father and telling him about the rescue process.
About ten minutes later, I stood on the second floor, waving to them, yelling, "We're here!"
A group of people rushed up. I also breathed a sigh of relief, finally relaxing my tense nerves.
A tall man in his fifties hurried over, "Good girl, you scared me."
"Dad!"
Lillian saw her father, threw herself into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest, and then burst into tears, "I thought I'd never see you again."
"Come, let me see if you're hurt."
"Dad, I'm fine, but John is injured."
Lillian wiped her tears and pointed at me. "Quick, help him check!"
Gary said, "Quick, quickly treat this gentleman. He's a great benefactor of the Allen Family!"
The nurse cut open the suit, and it hurt so much that I gritted my teeth. However, with so many people watching, I could only endure it.
Many people gasped at the exposed flesh.
A young man who bore a striking resemblance to Gary said, "Quickly bandage his wound."
The doctor said, "The wound is quite deep. It must be treated at the hospital and given a tetanus shot!"
"Well, what are you waiting for? Hurry to the hospital."
I nodded at him. Because I was bleeding heavily, I was feeling a bit dizzy, and at this point, I couldn't think too much.
I followed the ambulance to the hospital, where they bandaged the wound, administered a tetanus shot, and then, somehow, I drifted off to sleep.
When I woke up, it was already dark!
"Water, please," I croaked, my throat parched and head throbbing.
"John, you're awake?"
A pleasant voice sounded.
I looked up and saw Lillian!
"You've been here all this time?"
"Let's not talk for now. I'll feed you water."
She held a cup of water and carefully fed me.
After drinking the water, I felt much better. Lillian said, "You had a high fever in the afternoon, and it just subsided. You almost scared me to death."
