The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 15

 Even though he was no longer a vegetable, he was still a cripple. What could he do even if someone courted his fiancée right in front of him? He could not even stand up, let alone defend his dignity. Willow had never enjoyed being protected by Sean. “Ms. Quinn, I think you’d better go downstairs and have a look.” “That’s right, Ms. Quinn. He’s so sincere.” The girls sounded jealous with a hint of disdain. Everyone knew Willow was engaged, yet she was still attracting the attention of others. “Willow, I’m not leaving until you get down!” Quill’s voice was once again heard from outside the window. “I’ll tell him to leave.” Willow got up and headed downstairs. It was not long before Sean saw Willow’s beautiful figure show up at the company’s entrance. “Did she really come downstairs?” Sean frowned slightly and waited in the distance. He wanted to see what Willow would do. “Willow!
