He was stopped from killing someone, and then directly scared the person to death.
The entire dungeon suddenly became very quiet.
Enrico stood in front of Paige, reached out and tousled the damp hair sticking to her face, and spoke indifferently, “The Folsom family? Are you leaving here on your own, or do I have to ask you to leave?”
“…”
The people from the Folsom family looked at each other. Paige had fainted. What could they do now?
For a moment, everyone was silent.
Kevin sat in his wheelchair, his eyes looking at Enrico, savoring what had just happened, and asked, “You’re the one in charge here?”
Why did he pretend to come in and arrest someone at the beginning?
What did Casey and Eduardo mean when they said that to Jared?
Upon hearing this, Enrico let out a low laugh, bent down, picked up Paige from the chair, turned to look at Kevin, and then walked towards the front.
“Whether I am or not, from now on, here, is under my control.”
His voice was cold.
Kevin frowned, wanting to stay with Paige, but saw that the people Paige had brought with her were all just looking worriedly, none of them stepping forward to stop it.
His heart was growing more and more suspicious.
Paige, who had passed out, obediently fell into Enrico’s arms without a struggle.
Enrico held her in his arms as he stepped on the damp ground, step by step. He stopped in front of Justin, his eyes staring at them darkly, like a returning king. “Are the rules gone?”
His sense of oppression was overwhelming.
Enrico and JT shared commonalities, but also differences. Unfortunately, he couldn’t see this subtle difference before.
Blood slowly drifted over from the river, and Jared, who was no longer moving, drifted over with it.
Until the end, his eyes, which remained open, were filled with fear.
Justin’s face stiffened, and slowly he knelt down on one knee towards Enrico, “I greet my master.”
JT members followed suit, kneeling down and submitting to the man in front of them.
Enrico curled his lips, and embraced Paige as he left.
…
There was sunlight in her eyes.
Paige opened her eyes drowsily, and what greeted her was an incandescent lamp. She looked directly at it for a long time before she realized in the smell of disinfectant that she was in a hospital.
She struggled to sit up in the hospital bed, and a gentle male voice came, “You’re awake?”
Paige froze, raised her eyes, and saw Enrico, who had changed his clothes, walking in from the outside, carrying a thermos in his hand, and smiling as he walked towards her.
He set the thermos on the bedside table, looked down at her, and asked softly, “How do you feel now?”
The gloomy man in the tunnel was gone; he was now gentle and kind.
Just by looking at each other, Paige knew that he had not yet been awakened.
She didn’t say anything, but just opened her arms towards him.
Enrico smiled and sat down by the bed. Paige threw herself directly into his arms, reached up to hug him, buried her face in his chest, and listened to the heartbeat coming from his chest.
The heartbeat was the most real thing.
Paige closed her eyes, listened dependently, and circled her arms around him even tighter.
“Why have you become so clingy?” Enrico said with a low chuckle, reaching around her and rubbing the palm of his hand on the top of her head. ‘Scared?’
Paige just hugged him, and it was a long time before she looked up from his arms and asked, ‘Why did you knock me out?’
As if he had known she would ask this, Enrico didn’t even change his expression the slightest, still speaking gently, ‘Who knocked you out? I just wanted to let you rest for a bit, but who knew you would just pass out.’
“…”
Is he still pretending?
Paige really wanted to continue asking him questions, but then she remembered that he was now JT, and for a moment she didn’t know how to respond.
His eyes were sincere and gentle, and there was really no sign that he had used any force.
She nodded and slowly released him, “I’m already feeling much better.”
The pain had already subsided.
“That’s good, you really had me worried for a long time.”
Enrico raised the pillow behind her and carefully helped her lean against it. He asked casually, “Why were you at the Davis family?”
Paige looked up at him.
Enrico said indifferently, “I don’t know, did you hit your head? You forgot some things and can’t remember them at all. How did we end up there? And who were those people? Do you know? Why did someone call me master?”
“…”
He actually denied it all.
He was hypnotized and couldn’t remember how he appeared there, so how could he not know why Jared called him master?
Paige looked at him blankly, suddenly understanding that JT had stubbornly played the role of an ordinary Chamber of Commerce clerk in front of Hazel.
Seeing her like this, Enrico looked at her more tenderly, testing her with a flash of light, “What’s wrong?”
“Where are they?” Paige didn’t know what to say.
“I don’t know. I was worried about your health, so I just came out with you in my arms,” Enrico said. ‘Those two gangs seemed to be at odds with each other, and they were too busy fighting to pay attention to me.’
He really knows how to lie.
Paige raised her hand and rubbed her temple, her teeth biting her lips. She had to figure out what had happened after she fainted. She had to get Jared to wake Enrico up.
“Hazel, you still haven’t answered me,” Enrico reminded her in a low voice.
Paige looked up at him and responded with the same unchanged expression, ‘I don’t remember either.’
“…”
Enrico stared at her without doubt, but instead of a tense look, his eyes relaxed, ‘Really? If you don’t remember, forget it. Those kinds of things in big families aren’t something that two ordinary people like us can get involved in. We’d better just live our own lives.’
You’re no ordinary person…
Paige nodded, and Enrico took the thermos and poured her a glass of water, holding it low and blowing on it gently to cool it.
Paige watched his gentle and meticulous actions, and dared not directly remind him of the truth, so she said, “I’m fine now, if you’re busy at the Chamber of Commerce, you should go to work first.”
She had to find out what was going on.
The hot water in the glass was steaming, brushing past Enrico’s eyebrows and eyes.
His long eyelashes were lowered, making him inscrutable. When he looked up, however, he was gentle and smiling, “I’ve already asked someone to take leave for me. How could I leave you when you’re like this?”
“But I really don’t think I’ll be much longer,” she said.
“Then I’ll go through the hospital discharge procedures later, and we’ll go home,”
Enrico said, and after tasting a sip of water, which was still lukewarm, he handed her the glass, “Drink some water.”
Paige took the glass and took two sips. Her long eyelashes lowered, casting a faint shadow.
“Drink slowly,”
Enrico reminded her with a smile, his gaze deep and devoted.
Upon hearing this, Paige looked up at him. Her eyelashes lifted, her eyes were clear and clean like water, reflecting his face.
Enrico’s heart stirred, and he propped himself up on the bed with one hand, leaning over and gently kissing her lips.
A light taste is enough.
This is not Enrico’s style.
Paige’s body tensed slightly.
Enrico gazed at her tenderly, “Hazel, let’s get married.”
“…”
“I can’t wait,” he said in a low voice, and kissed her lips again.
