"No, I just happened to pass by here. I saw you sitting here in a daze from a distance," Sergio explained earnestly, shaking his head.

Jenna still had her suspicions. So, she kept a distance from him.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Sergio smiled bitterly. He really had something to do there that day. That place was not far from the Sky Sword Group, and he just happened to pass by, but the woman in front of him was not willing to believe him.

He was not afraid of her being the daughter-in-law of the Richards family or her past. He was only afraid of her heart.

No matter how he approached her, she was wary of him. That hurt him, and also caused his determination to waver. Suddenly, there was a slight movement in the crowd, and Jenna was forced to take two steps forward.

"Jenna, be careful." Sergio suddenly opened his eyes wide. He saw a man rush out from the crowd behind her with a bright knife. He was going to stab her heart from her back, which caused his heart almost to stop. He suddenly screamed and reached out to grab her waist. He had been trained in the military for many years. So, he forcefully held Jenna in a manner that could stop the sharp knife that was about to stab her in the back.

With a swoosh, the sharp knife cut through his arm, and the blood splashed all over Jenna's face.

Sergio was wonderful at self-defence.

At the same time he felt a sharp pain. He did not pay attention to the wound on his arm. Instead, he quickly kicked the man who was trying to commit murder. With a loud sound, the sharp knife fell to the ground.

The man's arm was immediately broken. He let out a scream of pain, and then he ran away in a panic.

How dare he commit such a crime in broad daylight!

"Where do you think you're going?" Sergio could not help but be furious. He helped Jenna up and chased after the man.

The warm and stinky liquid flowed from Sergio's arm to Jenna's body, dyeing her white dress red.

"That's not good. Someone's been killed."

"Run! Someone is committing murder!"

After the crowd understood what was going on, all kinds of screams rang out. They were in a state of panic, and the frightened crowd began to stir up chaos. The whole scene was extremely chaotic.

The scream and the warm liquid that was flowing onto Jenna's body stimulated her numbed nerves. She could sense the smell of blood getting stronger and stronger.

"No, Sergio, don't chase him. Let's hurry to the hospital." She finally came to her senses, let out a cry, and held Sergio's arm tightly.

After chasing for some time, the man who had committed the crime managed to flee into an alley nearby, and he couldn't be seen anymore.

After Jenna's constant shouting, Sergio finally stopped chasing. Only then did he feel the great pain in his arm.

He lowered his head to look at the blood that was constantly flowing out of his arm, but his eyes moved to Jenna's face. Seeing that Jenna's face was full of bloodstains, he asked with concern, "Jenna, are you hurt?"

"No, I'm fine. You're injured. Quick, let's go to the hospital," Jenna said anxiously. She figured that Sergio's main artery must have been cut based on the amount of blood flowing out.

Sergio indifferently looked at the wound on his arm with a calm expression.

"It's alright. It's not a big deal."

"Go to the hospital." Jenna was shocked by the constant bleeding and begged him to go to the hospital. She wanted to break away from his arms, but Sergio was holding her very tightly, and if she struggled, more blood would definitely flow out of his wound. She was so anxious that she could only beg him to go to the hospital and wrap his wound. She did not dare to move at all.

"Jenna, promise me that you will leave Hansen, or else you will still face such dangers. Believe me, I am doing this for your own good." Sergio's eyes were deep as he looked at the little face in his arms stained with blood. He did not care about his injury as he spoke.

He felt an extreme pain in his heart. If he hadn't saved her in time that day, she might even have died at that moment as the sharp knife was obviously aimed at the left side of her chest.

It was too terrifying. Such a thing might happen in the future again. So, leaving Hansen was the best choice for her.

Jenna's face was terribly pale. She bit her lips and said, "Sergio, do you want to die? Go to the hospital now."

At that time, police sirens could be heard. The police received reports from the crowd. So, they quickly rushed over.

"Quick, he is injured. Send him to the hospital quickly." Jenna told the police who came over.

That matter couldn't be delayed anymore.

After the leader of the policeman saw Sergio's blood and the horrible amount of blood on Jenna's body, he didn't say more, as the most important thing was to save them. He immediately took them to the hospital in the police car.

After an examination, it was confirmed that Jenna was not injured, but Sergio's main artery had been cut, and he was under emergency treatment.

When Hansen received a call from Alvin and hurried over, he saw that the police had cordoned off the area and there was a shocking amount of bloodstains on the ground.

"Alvin, what's the matter? Is Madam Jenna hurt? Didn't I ask you to take care of her? How could this happen?" Hansen was furious, and that was the first time he was angry at Alvin.

Alvin was terrified.

In order to avoid Jenna's suspicion, he could only protect her from afar.

However, what happened that day was too sudden. He was too far away from Jenna. So, he couldn't match Sergio's physical prowess and could only watch him save Jenna.

"I was negligent, Mr. Richards. I didn't notice the abnormal situation in the surroundings beforehand." he lowered his head as he apologized in fear.

He only realized the abnormal situation when the man was about to stab Jenna. To be honest, he was really lucky that Sergio was present that day. Otherwise, things wouldn't have ended the way it did. He never imagined that the murderer would boldly commit such a crime, and in broad daylight too.

At that time, Paul and Irvin, who were standing at a dark corner, were also frightened. They never thought that the murderer would act within such a short time.

It seemed that the enemy had quickened their pace and moved in advance, and their faces were very heavy upon realizing that.

Hansen's face was livid as he got into the car.

The car drove to the hospital.

He kept thinking of Jenna's injury as he had seen on television. He thought of a particular scene where Jenna's face and body were covered in blood, and that Sergio was holding her.

His hands were trembling. If Jenna was killed that day, how could he live on? He even forgot about the person who saved his woman. At that time, he only wanted to see Jenna standing in front of him safely. However, there was heavy traffic on that d*mn road after the incident.

He kept honking and almost knocked over several cars that accidentally came close to him. If John hadn't stopped him, he might have been arrested for getting into an accident.

When he finally got to the hospital in a hurry, two hours had already passed. He searched the whole hospital, but he did not see Sergio and Jenna.

He was dumbfounded.

John and Alvin quickly asked the nurse on duty and learnt that Sergio had already left with Jenna.

D*mn, the veins at the corner of Hansen's forehead stood out as he punched the wall.

Only then did he remember that it was Sergio who had saved his wife. It was Sergio, a man with ulterior motives, that was lusting after his wife, who saved her.

That kind of feeling made him even sadder than when he knew that something happened to Jenna, and it made him feel like he wanted to die.

"Mr. Richards, don't worry. Just now, the doctor said that Madam Jenna was not hurt. Sergio's arm was only scratched too. There's no serious injury," Alvin hurried over to inform Hansen of their conditions after learning about it.

Nevertheless, at that time, Hansen's eyes were gloomy, and his gaze seemed like they could kill.

He took out his cell phone and kept calling Jenna's and Sergio's cell phones, but the two people seemed to have agreed to turn off their phones at the same time.

He ran downstairs and headed to the hotel where Sergio was staying.

Then, he asked the manager to open the door to Sergio's bedroom, but there was no one there at all.

Where was Jenna? Where was Sergio?

Hansen was on the verge of going mad.

In a luxurious villa nestled in a posh, suburban neighbourhood of A City, Sergio's face was very pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. He leaned against the couch and closed his eyes tightly. Jenna fetched a basin of hot water, wrung the towel dry, wiped the sweat off him, and carefully took care of him.

"Sergio, thank you for saving me." By that time, Jenna had completely regained her calmness and was also aware of the terrible consequences. So, she thanked Sergio for saving her.

"Jenna, I'm fine. Please take a seat. Don't bother anymore," Sergio said softly with a smile on his lips.

"Sergio, you really shouldn't have left the hospital. I'm afraid that your injury might become aggravated." Jenna rubbed her hands uneasily. She recalled the inflammation caused by the knife wound where she blocked the knife for Hansen before. If she hadn't been treated in time then, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

That was why she was worried that Sergio's arm would get inflamed. Although the doctor had dealt with it, he still asked Sergio to stay in the hospital for observation.

"Don't worry, I am a man. This wound is nothing," Sergio said to her. "When I was in the army, I was hurt even more seriously than this. When I went into a jungle for field training, I was bitten by a snake, and had to scrape my bone to recover. The pain was much worse than this. I also remember once helping the police fight criminals and getting stabbed several times. These minor injuries are really nothing."

As he said that, he was afraid that Jenna would not believe him. He pulled off the trouser legs with one hand and then took off his top.

Surely enough, Jenna saw several shocking scars on his body, and she fell silent.

"Jenna, it's worth it to get injured in order to save you." After seeing that Jenna was silent, Sergio looked at her with burning eyes and confessed affectionately.

Jenna was frightened, and she saw his burning eyes when she looked up. She then hurriedly turned her head away in a panic.

She knew how Sergio felt about her.

That man seemed to be interested in her for no reason, and apparently, he had been interested in her since she was a young teenager.

Nonetheless, she was Mrs. Richards right then. She was no longer that young lady from the past. It was unacceptable for her to have such thoughts.

"Sergio, are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat." No matter what, Sergio had saved her. Seeing that it was getting dark, she figured that he probably hadn't eaten yet.

"Okay, thank you," Sergio did not refuse and accepted immediately.

Jenna walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, but there was nothing in it. It seemed like he seldom stayed there.

After thinking about it, she recalled that there was a supermarket nearby. So, she went there immediately.

Her feelings were complicated, and it took her a long time to finish preparing dinner.

When the piping hot food was placed on the table, Sergio had already had a good sleep and was in much better spirits, even though the wound still hurt a lot.
