Eva struggled and refused, but the old man was surprisingly strong. He pulled Eva into the nearby dense grove of trees.
After being embraced by Elsie, Paul’s expression suddenly turned cold. He forcefully pushed Elsie away. “I made it clear to you, don’t come looking for me anymore!”
Elsie had finally encountered him, how could she let go of such a good opportunity? She held his hand and acted coquettishly, “Paul, don’t be so heartless. I’m at least your first love and your lifesaver. It’s unnecessary to abandon me for an Paul shook off her hand. “Elsie, you saved me, and I’m grateful. But I’ve already repaid that debt. We don’t owe each other anything. As for my first love…”
Paul paused for a moment, his icy eyes revealing a hint of disgust. “Don’t think I don’t know about your seduction of Andrew back then.”
Upon hearing this, Elsie’s heart skipped a beat.
She seemed to have not expected Paul to know about this long-hidden past, and her face suddenly became embarrassed.
Paul didn’t pay attention to her expression anymore. He quickened his pace and headed towards the top floor of the Hilton hotel.
When the elevator door opened, he didn’t see Eva, but he saw Jayden lying unconscious on the ground…
He furrowed his brow, quickly took out his phone, and called Anthony.
“So, what’s the deal? Did Jayden do something to Eva?”
Without waiting for Paul to speak, Anthony immediately asked, “Yes, those recordings and photos were sent by me.”
After sending them, he thought that knowing Eva’s personality, she would definitely confront Jayden and break up with him. And based on Jayden’s statement of “I have never got her, so I’m not content,” Anthony speculated that he would do something to Eva after she confronted him.
After speculating about Jayden’s mind, Anthony quickly told Paul everything he had done and urged him to quickly locate Eva and save her.
Paul, who had already returned to the elevator, coldly reproached Anthony, “How many times have I told you? She went through her ex-husband cheating on her, and she definitely wouldn’t be able to handle seeing these photos all of a sudden. But you still sended them to her.”
Upon hearing this, Anthony panicked and blamed himself, asking, “Is Eva okay?”
In the instant that the elevator doors closed, Paul glanced at Jayden, whose forehead was covered in blood, and seemed to know something. He quickly hung up the phone.
Eva didn’t care about the injured Jayden, indicating that they had a conflict. But those photos and recordings alone wouldn’t be enough to cause such a big conflict between them.
It must be that Jayden used some underhanded methods, which caused Eva to smash his head and escape…
If that’s the case, Eva, who was all alone now, might in great danger…
Paul thought of some possibilities, and his heart suddenly tightened. Feeling anxious and restless, he quickly rushed out of the elevator.
While giving orders over the phone to the hotel staff to quickly check the surveillance, he searched for Eva’s figure around the hotel.
If she was really drugged, she wouldn’t be able to drive and could only take a taxi to the hospital…
After realizing this, Paul quickly rushed to the road on one side of the hotel, but when he didn’t see Eva’s figure after looking around, he immediately turned back. Suddenly, he heard a muffled groan from the forested area behind the bus stop sign…
Paul’s footsteps stopped, and he slowly turned around, staring at the dense greenery. After a few seconds, he went crazy and rushed over.
The light was very dark, so he could only vaguely see a patch of thorns that sank down…
After stepping into the thorns, Paul bent down and tremblingly used his fingers to push aside the overgrown thorns…
When Paul saw Eva lying on the ground, torn clothes and covered in blood, he froze.
He, who had never felt fear before, was now so scared that his blood turned cold…
His heart, which had been pounding nonstop, suddenly plummeted, as if falling into an abyss, causing intense pain. that made him difficult to breathe.
Looking at Eva in this state, Paul opened his thin lips, wanting to say something, but no words came out.
It felt like his was being choked, unable to make any sound. He could only extend his trembling hand to touch Eva’s face…
Feeling someone touching her, the lifeless Eva trembled, wanting to move but realizing she couldn’t.
Tears welled up in her eyes, accompanied by blood that covered her vision, slowly rolling down…
“Please, don’t touch me, I beg you…”
Hearing her, who had always been strong, pleading for the first time, Paul’s heart ached to the point of suffocation.
“Eva, it’s me.”
Paul’s trembling voice made Eva pause for a moment.
She opened her dry eyes and slowly lifted them to look at him.
Her eyes were blurred by the blood, unable to see clearly, and she dared not confirm who the person in front of her was.
“No matter who you are, don’t touch me, I beg you…”
Eva’s pleading voice suddenly made Paul’s eyes turn red.
“Eva, it’s me, Paul.”
Paul… I know you’re Paul.
Precisely because you’re Paul, I don’t want you to see me like this…
Eva turned her head, not wanting him to see her disheveled appearance, but tears continued to roll down.
Besides the blood, her body was covered in countless wounds from thorns, everywhere.
When Paul’s gaze touched these wounds, his heart ached and he slowly crouched down.
He lifted Eva up, disregarding the blood on her neck, burying his head in her shoulder.
“Eva, don’t be afraid, I’ll take you home.”
He knelt on one knee, carefully holding her, showing a tenderness and pity he had never shown before.
Eva didn’t want him to see her like this, but she was completely exhausted and had no strength to struggle. After letting go of the stone she had been tightly gripping, she buried her heavy head deep in Paul’s embrace.
Let her cherish this moment of warmth…
Paul took off his coat and wrapped it around her, then carried her in his arms.
As he turned to leave the green belt, a large hand suddenly grabbed his ankle.
The middle-aged man who had dragged Eva into the green belt held onto Paul’s foot, his bloodied face pleading.
