Chapter 18

--Jungkook--

Ahead was a dark expanse like still water. The man ran away until only a shadow was left, and he turned into a small alley. I chased him in with all my strength, and yelled, "Stop!" But the man turned a deaf ear to me, carrying the child and running faster, not caring about the bumps and discomfort the child would feel. So I was even more certain that he was not a good person.

The alley was very narrow, surrounded by demolished old houses. There was a lot of garbage on the ground, one foot high and one foot low. We were more than ten meters apart. Just then the child woke up and cried shrilly. He paused. I took the opportunity to grab a broken bench from the ground and smashed it on his back. He was bent over and staggered two steps. I rushed forward and grabbed the back of his neck.

Just then, I heard soft breathing and gentle footsteps behind me. It was her, and she had caught up with me.

I reached out to grab the child. The man turned around and gave me a crooked smile that made my heart chill. Then he punched me in the face. He was surprisingly good at fighting. I grabbed the child with both hands, so I couldn't avoid the punch. I felt a sharp pain on my face. The woman behind me screamed: "Jungkook!"

At this moment, her voice actually warmed my heart.

I felt hot blood flowing from my nose, and regardless of anything, I handed the child to her behind me: "Hold it!" I wanted to subdue the madman without any worries. However, the madman reacted quickly, "chuckled", walked around me and grabbed Lisa's long hair. The four of us were very close, and everything happened too fast to be stopped. Lisa screamed, her face full of pain, and the child fell out of her hands. My heart tightened suddenly, and just when I wanted to save her, I saw the child falling headfirst to the ground!

I rushed forward, hugged the child, turned him upside down, and put him on the ground. He was so scared that he was crying loudly and holding my clothes tightly. I looked back and saw that Lisa had fallen on her back. The man grabbed her long hair without mercy and dragged her into the dark depths of the alley. "Jungkook! Jungkook..." She cried and kicked her legs on the ground.

My heart felt like it was stabbed. I put the child in the corner and ran towards her. I punched the madman in the stomach. He loosened his hands in pain and hit me hard with his backhand. I grabbed his shoulders with both hands, trying to restrain him. But he was extremely flexible and twisted his body to an almost impossible angle, escaping from my grasp and running into the darkness.

I chased after him for two steps, then stopped and ran back. In the dark alley, the child huddled in the corner, crying. Lisa had struggled to sit up, holding her head with both hands, and was also crying. Her crying suddenly made me upset.

What happened this night? What happened?

I squatted down in front of her and held her shoulders. She threw herself into my arms and hugged me tightly.

I was slightly stunned.

Not far away, there were alarm bells and shouts. I had been running for most of the night, and after this fight, I was exhausted. But she hugged me very tightly, so I had to sit down and lean against the corner. She actually sat on my thighs like this, which made me even more unable to move.

When my breathing gradually calmed down, she stopped crying and just lowered her head, pushing me away and trying to get up. I subconsciously tightened my arms, not wanting her to leave.

"Does it still hurt?" I asked softly.

She lowered her head: "Yeah."

I raised my hand to push her hair aside: "Let me see." But she suddenly grabbed my hand as if someone stepped on her tail, raised her wet eyes and stared at me, shouting: "No! Don't look! Don't touch!"

In such a tiring, tense, chaotic... night when the mystery of fate was like a thick fog, I held her in my arms, and she stared at me with tears in her eyes, feeling aggrieved, and actually felt like laughing.
