His eyes were filled with pain as he looked at the disheveled woman on the ground. Regret and guilt weighed heavily on his chest, suffocating him.
It was so close. If he had been even a moment later, the consequences would have been unimaginable..
Carefully, Caspian removed his coat and draped it over Shannon’s exposed body. Trembling, he cradled her in his arms.
“shannon.” His voler quivered, tinged with a faint sob.
Shannon struggled to open her eyes. Her voice was laced with bittemess as she asked, “Are you happy now, Caspian? Look at what I’ve become,” Caspian stiffened, his face contorted with agony. “No, 1 past wanted you to cool down. I didn’t know any of this would happen–t
“You didn’t know, but you didn’t protect me either! If it weren’t for your indulgence toward Elsie, how could she have done this to me?”
Shannon weakly pushed against his chest, trying to break free from his embrace.
But Caspian refused to let go. His voice was hoarse as he comforted her. “Shannon, please, don’t move. Your wounds might get worse.
He turned to his bodyguards and shouted, “Why are you standing there? Get a doctor now!”

iste asked in disbelief, “What’s wrong with you, Casplan? Are you really fooled by her face? She’s been deliberately trying to get close to you! shouldn’t you have licked her out?”
Her friends quickly chimed in, supporting her daim.
“That’s right, Mr. Bellwether. We don’t know where she came from, but she showed up at the villa uninvited. It’s clear she’s up to no good. You should throw her out Leaving someone like her around is dangerous.”
“When Elsie tried to chase her out, this woman almost scarred her face. Luckily, Elsie reacted quickly, and we managed to hold her down.”
As they continued, Casplan’s face grew darker, his grip tightening.

Indeed, Casplan sindled, but his eyes were dark, filled with a brewing lice. “In that case, I should really thank you.”
Elsie blushed. “Caspian, I—”
Before she could finish, Caspian’s cold voice interupted her.
