Until the knife came closer and closer, she belatedly felt panic, but it was too late. The next second, the large man was about to stab her.
Tao Yu only felt a force pulling her into an embrace, then a hand gripping the man’s knife. Red blood quickly filled her entire pupil.
Her ears roared for an instant, and the world went quiet for an instant. When her hearing returned to normal, the large man had been caught by bodyguards from the shadows, and Yue Linze had rushed her out of the mall.
As they approached the car, her legs went soft and she was about to kneel on the ground. Yue Linze hurriedly held her in his arms, softly comforting: “Are you scared? Don’t be afraid. I’ll take you away from here.”
Tao Yu’s heart was racing. She suddenly grabbed his wrist to look at his wound, and seeing the two bloody, savage scars still bleeding, tears immediately fell: “I, I’ll drive. We’ll go to the hospital…”
“…There’s a first aid kit in the car. The wound isn’t deep. You can just help me bandage it,” Yue Linze said, opening the car door with one hand.
Tao Yu, afraid of delaying, climbed into the back seat to find the first aid kit, but due to panic, she searched for a long time without finding it. It was Yue Linze who sat in the back seat and retrieved it with his uninjured hand.
The moment she picked up the tweezers and alcohol, Tao Yu stabilized significantly. With a tense face, she began treating his wound. After cleaning it and seeing the wound was indeed not deep, she finally relaxed and carefully bandaged it.
Yue Linze loved how seriously she cared for him and wisely didn’t disturb her. After bandaging was complete, he looked at the neatly arranged bandage and smiled lightly: “Not bad bandaging. Though you’re not a surgeon, you did beautifully.”
Tao Yu forced a smile, keeping her head down. Her mind had gone blank earlier, and now the scene of Yue Linze being stabbed played in her mind. If his hand hadn’t blocked it, the knife would have been aimed at her heart.
After a long while, she said in a trembling voice: “I’m sorry…”
