"Silly girl, don't say sorry to me. It's my responsibility to protect you. Don't cry. Good girl." His weak
voice was still full of tenderness. He gently touched her tearful face and said softly, "Caroline, if you
really love me, you can't be so willful in the future, okay? I really don't want to see you get hurt. If
anything happens, let me protect you. Just be my princess."
"John..."
She looked at him blankly with tears in her eyes. Her uneasy heart seemed to be put into a hot spring
in an instant. She felt warm and happy.
"Ahem! Ahem!
Caroline, I have something to talk with John. You go out and wash your face first. Your eyes are so
red." After Jerome came in, Caroline looked at John and then at her brother. Although she was
unwilling to leave, she knew that her brother must have something important to do. She stood up and
went out.
John moved his body and sat up straight. Unexpectedly, his wound was pulled and he groaned in pain.
Jerome said, "Don't move. You are injured. It will hurt again if the wound disrupts."
John said nothing.
Jerome took a look at him and sat down on the sofa, with his legs crossed. His eyes were as sharp as
a wolf's, and he looked coldly at the man on the bed.
"Thank you for saving Caroline, John. She has been spoiled by me since she was a child. She doesn't
know what danger is."
John smiled and said, "It's a man's duty to protect his beloved woman. You don't have to thank me."
"Your beloved woman?" Jerome raised his eyebrows and sneered. "Do you think you deserve
Caroline? Maybe Caroline likes you now, but that's just a temporary fascination. There are so many
elites around me. There are many people who are as powerful as you, or even more powerful than you,
but she doesn't like them. But you, she is just having a crush on you for a short period of time."
"I don't think so!"
"Do you think that it is up to you? Whether Caroline likes you or not, I won't allow you to be together."
Jerome's attitude was tough and his tone was as cold as ice.
His eyes were not only cold and ruthless, but also domineering and tough.
John smiled calmly.
"If you had known it earlier, why did you save me?" Looking into his eyes, John said firmly, "Jerome, if
you don't need me, I don't think you will be so kind to save me? The reason why you have been against
me is not that I'm not suitable for Caroline, but that in your heart, you don't trust me at all."
Jerome's face darkened, and his anger was obvious to be seen through by John.
"Now that you have known it, you should stay away from her! You also know that she is willful and will
do whatever she wants. If you really care about her, you should immediately leave her. Otherwise, I
won't trust you."
"Leave? Well, I've never seen a brother hurt his sister like this." John's face darkened and he said
coldly, "What if I don't? Are you going to kill me right now?"
"No!" Jerome sneered, "I'll make you suffer thousands of times more than death."
With a bang, the door was opened and Caroline rushed in.
Pointing at Jerome, she shouted, "Brother, how can you do this? You said you loved me. Is this the way
you love me? I'm telling you now that I love John. I won't marry anyone else in my life. Besides, he's
dead, I'm dead! It's up to you."
With a slap, her delicate face was turned aside.
Her face was burning.
Tears streamed down her cheeks. Caroline covered her swollen face with her hand and stared at
Jerome with hatred.
"Caroline, I..." Jerome pulled back his trembling hand with regret.
He lived with her since childhood. He took her to beg in the street, met human traffickers, became
gangsters, and finally did all kinds of evils... All he did was for her, but she told him that she would die
for a man!
He shouldn't have spoiled her so much.
"You have never slapped me. Even if someone else slapped me, you would let him pay back ten times.
But today, you slapped me! Jerome, I hate you, I hate you..."
Then she rushed out.
Jerome sighed helplessly. Looking at his sad look, John said, "Don't worry. She's just angry. She'll be
fine soon."
He turned to look at John with his sharp eyes.
He said coldly, "I know my sister better than you do."
Looking at Jerome going out, a smile appeared on John's face, but a hint of bitterness appeared in his
heart.
The news of his death must have been sent back. Did she know that?
She... She must be very sad.
'Sharon, waited for me. I would be back soon.
You must marry me when I came back!'
-
Caroline ran from her room to the garden of the hotel and sat on the chair alone, crying.
She always knew that Jerome was against her dating with John. At first, she also tried to test John, but
she didn't find anything wrong. Instead, she saw him risking his life to save her again and again.
Even if John was a member of the army and their enemy, he had lost his memory now. As long as they
loved each other, as long as they were together, nothing could change even if he regained his memory.
She didn't believe that he was a heartless man. She didn't believe that he would abandon her and
stand on the opposite side of her.
As soon as she raised her head, she saw Jerome walking towards her. Caroline didn't want to see him,
so she stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jerome.
"Caroline." Jerome called softly and was full of guilt. "I was too angry just now. I apologize to you."
"No, I won't forgive you. What's done is done." Caroline could understand that he was against her
relationship with John, but she couldn't understand why her beloved brother had slapped her.
Seeing his beloved sister treat him so coldly, Jerome felt heartbroken.
"Don't you know why I hit you?" Jerome said in a slightly serious tone, "Caroline, do you forget how we
made it through when we were young? Have you forgotten how I become like this because of you?
Since our mother died, you have become everything to me. I have done everything for you. But you
were going to die for a man just now. Have you ever considered my feelings?"
