Chapter 573 A Rage That Won’t Stop

After taking several of James’s punches, John seemed not to feel the pain.

He kepting like a madman, fists hammering into James again and again.

Only one thought existed in his head.

He must idie/ii. /i

If James died, he could no longer touch Lily.

He could not let her body be branded by James’s marks.

“Shut up! Lily is not your girlfriend – she is my wife!” James snarled, then drove a hard kick into John’s abdomen.

John staggered, and in the next instant a fist of iron mmed into James again.

Both were skilled fighters, and John was reckless enough to seek mutual ruin. James took another blow.

“James!” Lily cried, her heart breaking when she saw blood at the corner of his mouth.

She leapt from the car and shielded him, ring at John with pure loathing. “John, are you sick? Stop!”

“Lily!” James nearly jumped at the sound of her voice. He feared John might harm her and instinctively moved to put her behind him.

“Lily…” John hadn’t expected her to step between them. He withdrew his fist. Looking down, he saw the obvious red marks on her neck.

He knew–what James had kissed hadn’t been only the skin she left exposed.

A boundless pain made his eyes sting as if they would split. He hunched slightly and choked out, “We can pretend what happened in the car never happened… Lily, I truly regret it. I won’t care about Elsa anymore. I’ll stop making you miserable. Please, don’t use James to spite me. Please, don’t let him touch you anymore…

He couldn’t bear another man touching her.

“John, you’re seriously sick.” Lily recoiled with disgust.

She stood stubbornly before James. Coldly, she said, “Don’t talk about using James to spite you… Do you deserve it? When I loved you, you were wrapped up with Elsa, intoxicated in each other. When I stopped loving you and began my life anew, you clung to me and pretended to be deep and sentimental. John, you’re pathetic. You shouldn’t be called John you should be called scum!”

John’s face went white as paper.

He couldn’t ept being called pathetic.

Despite the pain and regret in his eyes, Lily continued, voice chillier than ever, “Let me make it clear: I stopped loving you long ago. We’re already broken up, so stop bothering me. Don’t say weird things in front of my boyfriend. If you have any shame, get out of here and stop making people sick.”

“Lily…”

How could John not know her heart had already gone to James?

He refused to admit it. He couldn’t admit it.

For days he had been fooling himself that she would return to him. They had four years of memories together; he reyed them like a spell, thinking immersion in the past might keep her from leaving.

–

“Don’t call my name it’s unlucky!” Lily snapped, turning away from John and, anxious and tender, looking at James. “James, you’re bleeding. Does it hurt?”

“Lily…”

John writhed in agony. Blood dripped from his lip. Though James had taken fewer hits, John had received more – multiple punches and a kick – and was clearly worse off.

Yet Lily paid him no mind; her concern was entirely for James. He had not always been like this before Elsa left, even a scrape on his hand had made her eyes rim red with worry. If

–

he’d been in a fight, she would cry and ask if he was hurt.

“I said, don’t call my name! John, you’re disgusting!” Lily’s disgust deepened when she remembered James had already been hurt and John had still struck him. fna134 Latest content published on F?nd-Novel/fna134

She reached up, carefully wiping the blood from James’s lip. Her voice trembled with choking emotion. “Let’s go back to the ward. Let the doctor treat your wounds.”

“I’m fine,” James said.

At first, when she fussed over him, James thought to y up the pain so she’d scold John and feel more for him. But seeing her eyes rimmed with tears the smallest, bright sparks ready to spill he couldn’t bear her worry. He softened and soothed her, “Back at the ward you can put some medicine on it. It’s nothing, really.”
