At that moment. Maxwell signaled the police officer beside him to shoot.


    Mona''s eyes met Maxwell''s. Her eyes seemed to be covered in ayer of fog. It was blurry, but she could read Maxwell''s lips He said, "Mona, don''t be afraid."


    Meanwhile, Jeremy saw that Mona remained silent after being released and shouted, "What did Emily say?"


    Shortly after. Maxwell kicked Jeremy''s arm around Mona''s neck, Jeremy subconsciously took a step back and released his grip. Then, Mona endured the pain in her body, pushed Jeremy away with all her might, and ran towards Maxwell.


    When Jeremy turned around, he realized Mona was getting away. So, he immediately stabbed Mona''s back with his knife. But just as the knife was about to pierce her, Teddy came out from behind the car and stood before Mona. He subconsciously hugged her. The knife pierced through his back and into his chest. Teddy was overwhelmed by pain as blood dyed his white shirt red. Despite all that, he said affectionately, "Mona, give me a chance to atone for my sins. He owed Mona and wanted to even the


    score.


    Teddy swayed unsteadily as soon as he finished speaking and fell to the ground. His eyes seemed to be closed as he leaned against Mona.


    Upon realizing Teddy was protecting her, Mona''s pupils constricted. She had never thought that Teddy would take the knife for her under such circumstances.


    She looked at Teddy on the ground with aplicated gaze. Blood kept seeping out from his wound as Mona called, "Teddy? Please, say something."


    Teddy did not know if the knife hit his vital organ. He only felt his blood slowly flowing out and thought this might be his curtain call. However, he did not regret blocking Jeremy''s knife for Mona.


    He was d that Mona was safe. Otherwise, he dared not imagine what would have happened to her. He was afraid. Seeing Mona fall before him would be a nightmaree true. Fortunately, Mona was safe. Teddy only wished his death would be Swift Teddy wanted to raise his hand to hold Mona''s hand, but he remembered that Mona had be someone''s wife. Hence, he lowered his hand mid-air.


    Teddy felt stinging pain from his wound. However, he kept thinking of when Mona fell from the top floor. He thought it should be even more painful than his injury and imagined himself falling from the top floor repeatedly. He couldn''t imagine how painful it would be.


    In a daze, Teddy looked at Mona''s face and said weakly, "Mona, I''m hopelessly in love with you." Teddy often dreamed of Mona. He dreamed of her kindness. It was difficult not to fall in love with her.


    But Teddy''s dream would only stay as a dream. Mona had be Maxwell''s wife and had no feelings for Teddy, Love came toote for him.


    When the police saw Jeremy had injured Teddy, they couldn''t care less. They aimed at Jeremy''s legs and fired twice. Jeremy knelt on the ground. Then, the police moved forward to handcuff him. The moment he was carried into the police car. Jeremy seemed to see Emily beside Mona.


    Emily appeared in a white dress and stared at Jeremy. The sun shone on her as she smiled at him. Jeremy''s mind was suddenly transported to that one special summer in his life.


    Meanwhile, Cunshots rang in Mona''s ears as she covered her ears. Her vision turned dark as Maxwell Inugged her. Mona finally felt safe when he smelled his familiar scent. She buried her head in Maxwell''s arms and calmed herself down

    After a long time, Monrlooked at Teddy lying on the ground. Her heart more or less ached. He knew he would be injured for trying to block Jeremy''s attack. But he still blocked it regardless


    Mona did not feel anything other than feeling touched. However, the hatred in her heart seemed to have disappeared. At least Teddy had a conscience to even the score,


    As Mona and the others arrived at the hospital, they underwent aprehensive examination. Fortunately, the car Maxwell drove was super protective. The car ident did not cause much damage to them, only a slight concussion. Even so, they still fainted due to the violent impact.


    The doctor bandaged the minor injuries on Mona''s neck and Maxwell''s forehead. They were waiting at the ER''s entrance. Mona clenched her fists as she looked at the red light at the ER with a solemn face.


    Mona had nned to take Teddy and Barbara''s lives. However, she could not ept and felt uneasy that they had risked their lives to save her. Moreover, Mona could not rx if Teddy was not out of danger. Hence, she called his parents


    Matthew couldn''t make it in time, and Teddy''s mother, Hannah Powers, was the first to arrive.


    She heard her son was admitted to the ER for trying to protect Mona. So, once she entered the hospital, she ran to Mona angrily and raised her hand to p her. She even called her a slu


    In the past, Hannah wanted Mona to be with her son. But that was in the past. Since her son stared out the window in a daze every day and woke up shouting Mona''s name in his sleep, she no longer had this thought. Moreover, that day, she learned her son was in critical condition because of Mona. She couldn''t hold back her anger and wanted to beat her to a pulp


    Meanwhile, Mona and Maxwell did not expect that the first thing Hannah would do was p someone. By the time they reacted, she had pped Mona.

    "Your son took the initiative to block Jeremy''s knife. No one forced him, so don''t me Mona. If you try to make a scene, III call security to escort you out." Maxwell said calmly. Even if Teddy did not block Mona''s attack, he would not let Jeremy''s knife stab her.
