Goodbye, My Love

Loraine, still in the protective cocoon of Marco’s arms, was unharmed.

She couldn’t let this sort of thing continue. In a loud and comforting voice, she told the crowd, “Everyone, calm down! Please listen to me.

The signal tower is not harmful to the human body. It’s no more radioactive than a mobile phone.”

But no matter how much Loraine reasoned or explained, the protesters wouldn’t Listen.

“Don’t Listen to her,” one of them yelled. “She’s a liar. Let’s drive her away and protect our home together!”

Once again, the crowd’s anger was ignited. They began to rush forward madly.

Loraine and others were outnumbered. Now, not even Marco’s subordinates could hold the crowd back.

They gathered as closely as they could to protect Loraine and Marco in the middle.

There were so many protesters that it was difficult to hold them all back. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Amid the chaos, Marco held Loraine in his arms, protecting her. He didn’t let go, even though his clothes had been dirtied by rotten eggs and he was being painfully pressured by the crowd.

ALL of a sudden, somebody threw an iron sign towards Lorain.

Without thinking, Marco quickly used his left arm as a shield, taking the hit for her.

Searing pain shot through his arm. Marco absorbed the pain and stayed silent.

It wasn’t until Carl arrived with a large team of bodyguards that the situation was finally under control.

“Mr. Bryant! Are you okay?” Carl rushed over.

Marco shook his head.

To avoid worrying Loraine, Marco put his arms down calmly and released her, as though nothing had happened

As soon as Loraine was free of his protective hold, she walked towards the crowd. Her only thought was about how to soothe the crowd; she didn’t notice that Marco had been hurt.

Loraine tried her best to be persuasive.

“Listen to me, everyone. I’m the one in charge of this project. Since you still think the signal tower isn’t safe, I will move here during the construction. I wouldn’t stay here if I thought I was going to be harmed, right?”

The crowd Looked at each other, doubtful. One of the residents shouted,

“We’ll believe it when we see it! Are you really going to move in?”

“Of course!” Loraine gave them her word.
