Can’t Win Me Back

Lauren felt a chilling sensation on her back, but it was too late to dodge Denver’s attack.

However, Cyrus would not allow Denver a second opportunity to hurt Lauren.

He instantly grabbed the gun from his waist and held Lauren by the waist, pulling her into a protective embrace. The next second, he pulled the trigger, shooting Denver in the right arm and the left leg.

Cyrus moved as fast as lightning. A criminal should not have given him any chance to attack, for he could turn the tables in no time.

The aggrieved Denver yelped and grimaced as he felt limply onto his knees.

Upon seeing that, the police swarmed him and put handcuffs on him. They finally managed to arrest Denver Whitman, the poor father who had committed crimes to avenge his beloved daughter.

After Denver collapsed, the snipers left their positions because they lost sight of their target, who was blocked by the rooftop railing. That was the reason Cyrus needed to shoot Denver in the leg.

The gunshot induced fear in Lauren. She covered both ears while trembling in Cyrus’ arms. She panted heavily and was drenched in cold sweat.

“Hey, don’t be afraid. Everything’s fine now.” Cyrus did not immediately lead her away from the rooftop. Instead, he hugged her tightly while seated on a concrete block. He gently and patiently comforted her, “Have you not played firecrackers before? Just take the gunshots as my way of celebrating your rescue!
