Chapter 28

Reina raised her hands and walked toward Hugo resolutely. "Let Xavier go." "Dream on!" Hugo raised the syringe and aimed to stab it into Xavier's neck, but he was swiftly kicked aside by one of Reina's bodyguards. Hugo was quickly subdued and pressed to the ground. Reina stood over him and said coldly, "You scumbag, how dare you hurt Xavier? You can expect to spend the rest of your life in prison!" The police arrived shortly afterward and arrested Hugo. As he was being taken away, he laughed maniacally. "I lost, but didn't you, Reina? The man you love turned into your stepfather and can never touch you again. Isn't it just tragic?" "Shut up!" Reina shouted angrily. She turned and gently helped Xavier. Nervously, she asked, "Are you okay?" Xavier managed to stand and offered a weak but grateful smile. "I'm fine. Thank you for risking your life to save me today." "If you want to thank me, then go to bed early tonight and stop overworking yourself. Your dark circles are so bad."
