Chapter 9 In a flash , a figure came running toward me . Before I could react , I heard wind whistling past my ear . The hand gripping my arm released . Instead , I fell into warm , strong arms . Luke's chest was heaving . Pressed against him , everything around us seemed to quiet down - I could only hear that rapidly beating heart . Chase had been knocked to the ground with one punch . Looking up at this stranger , his eyes filled with deep pain as he demanded : " Who are you ? " Luke gently wrapped his arm around my waist and declared possessively : " I'm her husband , Luke Lucas . " Then he lowered his head and kissed my forehead softly , saying in a voice only I could hear : " Don't be afraid . I'm here . " My heart had been racing with lingering fear , but hearing those words , it gradually calmed down - like an injured baby bird finding a warm nest , I felt safe . " Impossible .

" Hearing this , he snorted coldly and let go : " Fine , I'll listen to you . " " Quinn ... " Chase lay on the ground unable to get up , moaning in pain . He reached out , still trying to grab my ankle . I looked at him with complete disgust : " Chase , could you stop being so revolting ? " I didn't want to see him anymore . After telling my parents that an ambulance would be coming , I left with Luke . Back home , I noticed he had obvious bruising on his face . " Where's the first aid kit ? Let me put some medicine on that . " He found the kit and obediently sat on the sofa . Back when Chase couldn't control his temper and always got into fistfights , he'd be afraid of getting scolded at home , so I'd always treated his wounds outside first . That's why I was so practiced at handling these minor injuries . But ... the moment I leaned in close to him , a blurry figure suddenly flashed through my " What's wrong ?
