Chapter 278:
Still outside and hearing only silence, Jasiah turned to Denny and said, “Did we imagine it p>
“That was definitely Amelia,” Denny responded, his certainty unshaken as he kept calling her name.
Amelia tried to scream, but Jaxton’s palm muffled every sound she made as she thrashed about, desperate for escape. Little by little, her strength slipped away, and Jaxton managed to drag her from the doors. As the doors grew farther away, a cloud of despair settled in Amelia’s eyes.
At that moment, the sealed doors creaked open, letting in a burst of light. Denny appeared in the doorway, sweat trickling down his face, a military knife gleaming in his grip. Shock flickered in both Amelia’s and Denny’s eyes the moment they locked gazes. Denny’s expression turned dark at the sight of Amelia’s disheveled and pitiful state.
One look at Denny’s expression had Jasiah on edge. Worry twisting inside, he made a move to stop him, but Denny shoved him aside. Denny closed in on Jaxton, his grip on the knife unwavering, and Jasiah yelled urgently, “Denny, don’t do anything you’ll regret p>
But it was too late. Denny drove the blade deep into Jaxton’s thigh.
Seeing that, Jasiah grabbed Denny’s arm to stop him and said, “Amelia is hurt; let’s get her to a doctor immediately p>
The mention of Amelia’s injury snapped Denny out of his rage, and the knife fell from his hand. Amelia ended up in Denny’s arms, carried away from the scene, while Jaxton’s face twisted in pain and frustration. He was forced to watch as the two left, unable to do anything.
The car roared to life as Jasiah got behind the wheel, intent on driving straight to Kretol City Hospital, but Denny’s voice cut through the silence from the backseat. “Don’t head to the hospital. Go straight to my house p>
Those words left Jasiah rattled, but Denny’s reasoning quickly followed, cold and clear. “If anyone saw her like this right now, rumors would spread like wildfire p>

Denny’s house was in the city center, just minutes from Harvest Moon Restaurant. The car soon rolled up to the entrance, and Denny wasted no time. He carried Amelia inside, instructing Jasiah, “Get a doctor here now p>
Jasiah caught sight of Amelia’s battered state and rushed to restart the engine, but then doubt flickered in his eyes. Plenty of people thought Denny came across as reserved and gentle, but Jasiah knew better. Beneath the surface, the man was fiercely possessive, and Amelia had always been the center of his fixation.
Jasiah hesitated at the thought of leaving Denny and Amelia alone in the house. If Denny acted on his obsession and did something to Amelia, the consequences might be severe. After thinking for a while, Jasiah reached for his phone and called Wyatt.
