Aaron froze. He too had heard the sound of something cutting through the air. When he turned around, he saw Selena diving towards him, taking the bullet meant for him. 

It was utterly shocking! 

He caught her, watching in disbelief as blood flowed from her shoulder and her face grew pale. 

“Why?” he asked, confused. 

Selena was in so much pain that she couldn’t speak. 

Hearing his voice through the haze, she wanted to slap him hard. 

Why was he asking such a dumb question? 

Couldn’t he just get her to the hospital already? 

Did he plan to let her die and bury her right here? 

This damn man! 

“Mr. Fletcher, are you alright?” 

The discreetly positioned bodyguards emerged from their hiding, having captured the shooter, and approached him. 

Aaron snapped out of his daze, his face darkening. doing just now?”

The bodyguard bowed his head. “Sorry, Mr. Fletcher, it happened suddenly, and we were caught off guard.” 

Aaron couldn’t describe what he felt. 

He picked up Selena and ran quickly toward the exit. “Selena, hold on. I’m taking you to the hospital now.” 

Selena, wracked with pain, felt a small relief at his words.

Finally, he was taking her to the hospital; she wasn’t going to die here. 

As Selena slipped into unconsciousness, she thought she heard at trembling voice calling her name. 

The lights in the emergency room stayed on. 

Aaron’s tall figure stood at the door still stained with Selena’s blood. 

Even after all this time, he couldn’t believe it. The girl he had always tormented had taken a bullet for him! 

Why had she done it? 

Hadn’t she always wanted him dead? 

Why take a bullet for him? 

Aaron couldn’t understand it. He simply couldn’t fathom it. 

Aaron asked, “How is she?” 

The doctor responded, “The bullet has been successfully removed, and fortunately, it didn’t harm any internal organs. She just needs some time to recover.” 

Hearing this, Aaron let out a deep breath. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

He had already arranged for her hospital stay and returned to the ward. Watching the still–unconscious Selena, Aaron’s lips tightened. 

Aaron opened a forum and posted his question: 

“Why would a woman take a bullet for a man who always bullies her?” 

Almost immediately, the replies started pouring in: 

“How does he bully her? Is it in bed?” 

“Buddy, either you’re dreaming, or the woman has a masochistic 

tendency. The more you torment her, the more she likes you. She’d rather die than let you die.” 

“Stop dreaming and wake up!” 

“There’s no war how. Where did the gun come from?” “Maybe she really likes you.” 

Aaron’s gaze lingered on one particular reply. 

His brows furrowed deeply. 

Selena liked him?
