Clutching his wound with one hand, Colin held me tightly against him with the other, “It’s okay: don’t be
scared. It’s just a flesh wound nothing vital hit. The bleeding’s not too bad, and the cops and
ambnce will get here before I evene close to passing out.”
He always seemed to have everything down to a science, like he was in total control.
Tears streamed down my face as I pressed my hands against his injury, feeling utterly helpless.
The cops burst in and hauled the assant away, and the ambnce arrived right on time.
Colin had predicted someone would get hurt.
“You knew someone was after Foebe, so you called an ambnce ahead of time?” Finn’s voice
dripped with haughtiness, but even he had to admit the situation was moreplex than it seemed. He
had been cautious, but the attacker must have followed him. It was the only exnation for how they
had Foebe in their sights the moment she stepped out the door, following her all the way here.
“The ambnce was for you,” Colin said with a low, emotionless voice, locking eyes with Finn.
I watched as a flicker of fear passed through Finn’s normally cool and confident gaze. He was clearly
still afraid of Colin.
“You summon my wife without my consent, and next time, you’ll be the one leaving in an ambnce.”
Colin let me continue to press against his wound, then covered my ears and cursed, “Fucking idiot.”
Even though he covered my ears, I still heard the curse. And it was a filthy one.
On the ambnce ride, I saw Finn lose his cool. If it weren’t for the cops holding him back, he would
have lunged at Colin.
But it was clear, he let the cops hold him back on purpose. He didn’t dare make a move, yet still
shouted, “Don’t hold me back! I swear I’ll kill that lunatic today!”
Then, the young officer actually did let him go, and Finn immediately calmed down, gritting his teeth as
he sat back down, schooling the officer beside him, “Humph, if a dog bites you, you don’t bite back.”
“The cut’s not bad; it’s practically stopped bleeding,” Colin reassured me softly, noticing my distress.
I looked up at him. He was the one hurt, yet he was the oneforting me.
“That fool doesn’t understand our situation. Henry’s desperate; he was bound tosh out,” Colin
whispered, looking so different from his usual self.
Was he worried about me?
Now, he seemed mature andposed, giving me a strange yet not unpleasant feeling. It was like this
was how he was meant to be: a master strategist.
“How should I know the state of the Langley family affairs? Your enemies are legion,” Finn muttered
under his breath, this time clearly at fault.
“Felix, let there be no next time,” Colin warned in a low voice as we disembarked from the ambnce.
Finn’s real name was Felix, and Colin seemed to prefer it to Finn.
Finn frowned, sensing the thick air of threat.
I couldn’t help but nce back at Colin; the way how he intimidated people really scared me. But he
always was capable of getting back to ying the sympathy card as he sped me to him, “Phoebe,
I’m feeling a bit dizzy now. Hold me.”
Sure enough, the charm onlysted a few seconds.

“Phoebe, it really hurts.” Colin whined as the doctors and nurses came to treat his wound, clinging to
me with a scared and pitiful look. “Phoebe, I’m scared.”
Was this really the time he chose to feel scared? Maybe he was just slow to react.
I held Colin close, guilt–ridden, and patted his back, “I’m here with you.”
“Don’t let him fool you. He’s scared? If I had gotten hold of that attacker, the one who should be scared
is him!” Finn pointed at Colin, his finger trembling, too angry to finish.
“Finn, please stop making baseless usations against my husband. I trust him
unconditionally,” I said, frowning.
Colin arched his lips upwards, his eyes darkening as he gazed at Finn, almost as if taunting him.
Finn clenched his fists in fury, “You’ll regret this.”
