"Slap!"

Adrien was struck so forcefully that he collapsed into Emmeline's arms.

Emmeline was too embarrassed to push him away. She felt compelled to hold him. She interrupted Daisy as she prepared to strike him once more. "Daisy, stop! You've misunderstood him!"

"Misunderstood?"

Daisy gestured at the broken tables and chairs on the ground and chided, "Is this me being misunderstood?"

Emmeline clarified, "You did. He wouldn't be able to do this, he's injured. Do you think he'll be able to pull this off even in good health?"

Daisy acknowledged that she had actually misunderstood Adrien after giving it some thought. That was beyond Adrian's capability.

"Ouch, it hurts! It hurts!" Adrien groaned in pain while he stayed in Emmeline's arms.

Emmeline frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My wound has ruptured. The pain is killing me."

Adrien pulled himself out of Emmeline's arms and glanced at the shoulder of his suit. It had already been drenched in blood.

Benjamin said, "It looks serious. I'll take you to the hospital."


Adrien looked down at his blood-stained clothes. He was so in pain that he was about to faint.

Benjamin ordered his assistant, "Eric, quick! We need to send Mr. Adrien to the hospital."

Adrien did not want to ruin his reputation in front of Emmeline by saying, "I have a driver. There's no need to bother Mr. Benjamin."

Emmeline said gently, "You need to visit the hospital so that your wound can be treated, I'll stop by to visit you later."

Adrien was overjoyed, "Really? Do you really mean it, Emma?"

Emmeline nodded, "Mm-hmm, I do."

Adrien immediately began acting cute. He held Emmeline's hand and said, "That's great. I'm craving for dessert with lots of fruit."

Emmeline nodded. "Alright, I'll bring some for you."

"Hmm."

Adrien was afraid to kiss Emmeline, so he kissed the air in the direction of her cheek.

"Emma, I'll be waiting for you."

"Mm-hmm."

"Emma, I didn't take that bullet for nothing."

"Mm-hmm."

"Emma…"

Sam shouted, "You're running out of blood. We'll have to gather your body if you wait any longer!"

Adrien looked down at his suit again. Indeed, there was a sizable bloody patch.

"Urgh!" Adrien's complexion turned pale. While walking toward the door, he covered his forehead and put up with his dizziness.

"Emma, remember to come to see me!" Adrien yelled once more as he left the café.

The cafe had finally fallen silent once Adrien left.
