"Ahem..." Lyric only felt that she was too uncomfortable to breathe. Her hands and feet were totally stiff. She wanted to grab something, but she had no strength.
"Jasper..."
She let out a weak cry and realized that her voice was trembling violently.
Jasper pressed Gunner's hand with his knee nimbly and then punched it fiercely.
"Ah..." Gunner screamed miserably and let go of Lyric at the same time.
Jasper used a lot of strength and beat Gunner crazily, but he couldn't vent his hatred.
Gunner came to sense and kicked Jasper furiously. An outlaw in despair was more horrible than a devil in hell.
"Bang..."
Gunner turned the table and pinned down Jasper.
He punched Jasper's face ferociously. It hurt so much that Jasper was in a trance.
When he was about to punch Jasper again, Jasper dodged.
At the same time, Victor rushed in.
Eden followed closely behind and looked at Lyric who was lying on the ground, "Lyric."
Victor pressed down Gunner together with Jasper, while Eden carried Lyric to bed. Her body was so cold that Eden was startled. She immediately pulled the quilt and covered her.
Lyric shivered and shuddered herself up, "Eden..."
Lyric smiled happily. She was finally saved. It was the first time that she had defended her dignity with life.
Eden looked at her with distress and comforted her in a low voice, "Lyric, it's okay now. Have a good rest." Then she picked up the remote control on the bedside table and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner.
Victor and Gunner dragged Gunner out together.
Ansley was kicked hard by Jasper. It was so painful that she was still lying on the ground, crying.
Seeing that Gunner was taken out by them, she closed her eyes desperately.
The police arrived soon. They took away Ansley and Gunner.
Only then did Jasper sit down on the sofa weakly.
Victor stood in front of him and looked at him carefully, "Are you okay?"
Jasper shook his head slightly. He was fine. He was just too nervous and scared just now, so he lost all his strength when he relaxed all of a sudden.
When he thought of the scene of Lyric being hung outside the window, his heart almost broke out of pain.
He looked up at Victor and said, "Victor, has your heart ever ached for Eden? It hurts so much. I feel the same way now."
He was very sad, frightened and excited. He was a maelstrom of churning emotions inside, and he was overwhelmed by fear. He felt that his heart was bleeding. He tried so hard to save Lyric, but he could do nothing but stand aside and watch.
The feeling was so f*cking terrible and painful.
Victor was taken aback. Jasper was probably beaten silly.
He smiled and said, "Jasper, just admit it. Is it so hard to admit that you like Lyric?"
Jasper suddenly looked up at Victor, "Can you tell that I like her, too?"
Victor sneered, "Are you out of your mind?"
Jasper turned around and went to the room. Eden was sitting by the bed with Lyric. Lyric was no longer nervous, and she was asleep.
Seeing Jasper, Eden said softly, "She has just fallen asleep, and she's very uneasy. You should accompany her."
Jasper smiled and nodded. He looked at her injured face and asked seriously, "What's wrong with your face?"
Eden smiled awkwardly, "I fell to the ground."
Jasper knew that she fell down because she was worried about Lyric.
"Go back and rest. I will take good care of Lyric."
"Okay!" Eden smiled and gave Jasper a cheering gesture mischievously before leaving with a smile.
After Eden and Victor left, Jasper closed the bedroom door slowly. He sat on a stool and looked at Lyric's sleeping face.
Her long and curly eyelashes were thick, and her small nose was red. Her lips were a little purple because she was frozen with cold, and even her face was red. His heart ached severely.
He took Lyric's hand. It was so cold that he kept frowning. He called Neal, gave him the address and asked him to come over.
Neal's medical skills were so good that he had become the family doctor of them. When Anton was free, he was willing to make extra money. After all, no one would complain about having too much money. Moreover, these rich big shots gave him too much money, so he was naturally on their call.
Half an hour later, Anton came in with a medical kit.
Jasper looked at him and said softly, "She can't sleep soundly. Her body is warm, but her forehead is a little hot."
Anton said, "It is ten degrees below zero. She stayed outside for so long. It's inevitable for her to catch a cold and have a fever. She'll be fine after having an intravenous drip."
Anton had a check-up for Lyric. Fortunately, she didn't suffer from frostbite.
But she had a fever. After giving her an intravenous drip, he told Jasper what to do and left. He had an operation in the afternoon, so he had to go back.
