Chapter 130: I Will Be With You

&#lt;p&#gt;&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Ethan carefully carried Janet into the car.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;As he laid her down on the backseat gently, the cool breeze of early autumn blew on her ruddy cheeks.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Do you know who I am?" he whispered.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Seeing Janet in such a state made Ethan feel terrible.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He ran his fingers through Janet’s messy hair.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;There were two obvious palm marks on Janet’s face, and there was a streak of blood at the corner of
her mouth.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;His heart ached so much that he didn’t dare to touch Janet’s face.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Holding Janet’s shivering body in his arms, he gently tried to comfort her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"It’s okay now.I’m here.You’re safe.Don’t cry."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Janet clenched the waistcoat of Ethan’s striped suit and looked up at him, tears rolling down her
cheeks.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Only then did she return to her senses.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She threw herself into Ethan’s arms and sobbed, "Oh, Ethan, it’s really you…"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yes, Janet.It’s me."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Ethan was very patient.He gently fixed the suit jacket he put on her and put his arm around her
shoulders.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;With his head slightly lowered, he was able to press his forehead against hers, He kissed her earlobe
gently.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Does it still hurt?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Janet couldn’t answer him.She could only sob uncontrollably and bury her face into Ethan’s chest.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;It was as though a boat that had sailed alone for so long had finally found a harbor amidst a violent
storm.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Ethan rubbed her back reassuringly and gestured at his men to bring some tissue.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;His men, on the other hand, were in a state of shock.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Their boss had always been an icy cold, serious man.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Yet here he was now, wiping the tears of a woman as though he was patiently coaxing an aggrieved
child.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Your eyes are all red and puffy from the crying.They won’t look pretty for a while," he whispered in a
low voice.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Only Janet could hear him.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;At that, the woman stopped crying abruptly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Her teary eyes turned angry.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Calm down, babe.You look good no matter what-even if your eyes are red and puffy.So stop crying.It
hurts me to see you cry."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Seeing that she still had the energy to glare at him, Ethan finally heaved a sigh of relief.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;But when his eyes landed on the stark slap marks on her face, his expression darkened once more.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Damn it.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Castration was too good a punishment for the driver.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;It took a few more minutes for Janet to calm down.She was really scared.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;As Ethan’s men castrated that damned driver, piercing shrieks echoed across the forest.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After screaming in pain for a while, the driver finally ran out of breath and fell silent, whimpering quietly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Ethan covered Janet’s ears before turning to his men and ordering coldly, "Keep him alive.No matter
what, get him to tell you who’s behind this."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;A few minutes later, Ethan’s men dragged the driver away.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;With a tissue in her hand, Janet blew her nose and wiped her tear-stained eyes.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The tip of her nose and cheeks were red, and her eyelashes were wet with tears.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Ethan, were you able to find Hannah? How is she?" Janet asked in a broken voice.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Ethan cupped Janet’s face and wiped her remaining tears with his thumb.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Don’t worry.I’ve asked someone to look after her."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;When Janet finally calmed down, Ethan took her to see Hannah.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Ethan had rescued Hannah from the car.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She was fine, but since the driver had kicked her just now, her arm showed a little bruising "Oh, my
God! Are you okay? I’m glad you’re safe.I was so worried about you."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Hannah stroked Janet’s hair.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;When she saw the red marks on Janet’s face, she couldn’t help but burst into tears.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"How on earth did this happen?" Janet averted her gaze.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Biting her lower lip, she couldn’t answer.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Then, her eyes wandered over to Ethan.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She quietly glanced at the dozen men in black suits that surrounded them.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Confused, she tugged Ethan’s sleeve questioningly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Why are you dressed like that? And where did all these people come from? They look so scary."&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
