The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 223 Blood for Blood

Chapter 223 Blood for Blood

But Simon didn’t believe a word Lily said.

He also didn’t want to disappoint his precious Lizzy, so his voice cout cold and cruel.

“Lily, I don’t want to hear your excuses. | just want to see you pay in blood.”

But she wasn’t making excuses.

She was telling the truth.

A crushing sense of helplessness devoured Lily's heart, followed by a tidal wave of emotions that left her too

drained to even want to keep fighting.

But why?

Why should she be the one to suffer the consequences when someone else had done wrong?

The one who deserved to die wasn’t her-it was Elsa, that venomous snake, and those two blind fools, John and

Simon.

She didn’t want to die. She didn’t deserve to die.

And yet, it felt inevitable.

“Lily1”

Just when she thought John was going to break her neck and toss her over the railing, the stairwell door burst

open again-and James cstriding in.

He caught sight of Lily-most of her body already past the edge of the railing-and his heart nearly stopped.

Normally calm and composed, he actually lost his cool for once.

His eyes burned with fury. In a blur of motion, he shot forward and drove his fist squarely into John's face. At the

stime, his other arm wrapped tightly around Lily’s waist, pulling her securely into his embrace. The sheer

terror of what could've happened still gripped him like a vice. Even with her safely in his arms, he couldn't shake

the fear.

Just moments ago, John had been tightening his grip, and Lily had truly believed she was going to die. She hadn't

expected James to appear out of nowhere and drag her back from the edge of hell.

In that instant, it was as if the world around her disappeared. The only thing she could see, the only thing she

could feel-was James.

Earlier, when they'd hurt her, when she’d been cornered, all she felt was fury, fear, and injustice.

But now, with his strong heartbeat echoing in her ears, all she felt was a deep, aching sense of grievance.

Her lashes trembled. Tears spilled down her cheeks and soaked into his shirtfront

She knew James didn’t like being touched, especially by her. And this was the second the’d saved her

tonight. She didn’t want to repay his kindness by clinging to him

But she couldn't help it.

The fear, the humiliation, the sheer weight of it all was too much. Her legs were weak, her knees barely holding

her up.

So she allowed herself this moment, resting in his arms, letting her tears fall-one by one-onto his heart.

James usually hated physical contact.

But right now, with her trembling in his arms like a wounded child, he couldn't bring himself to push her

away

Each hot tear that landed on his chest seemed to pierce deeper, carrying her fear and pain straight into the

depths of his soul.

And instead of loosening his grip, he found himself holding her even tighter.

“James?”

John hadn’t expected him to arrive so soon. He thought James would stay behind to help Ashton deal with Jyro

and the others,

His brow furrowed. He clearly didn’t appreciate James meddling in what he saw as his own business.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, John’s expression turned dark. “This has nothing to do with you.

You should stay out of it. Lily was selfish and vicious-she hurt Elsa. She needs to be held accountable. James,

what she did tonight crossed a line.

Simon, meanwhile, couldn’t stand the sight of Lily wrapped in James’ arms. The image rubbed him the

wrong way.

But then he reminded himself-his cousin had no feelings for Lily. That thought gave him a twisted sense of relief.

He looked away from her and said, “Elsa’s bleeding. This can’t just be brushed aside.”

James actually laughed-cold and sharp.

His lip curled in contempt, his eyes gleaming with a chilling edge.

“Nothing's been proven yet,” he said, his voice as icy as a frozen blade. “So what gives you the right to lay a

hand on her? Lily is my wife. Who the hell do you think you are to lecture her?”

“She pusheddown the stairs.

Elsa couldn't let this slip through her fingers. She wanted James to see Lily’s true, cruel nature-to stand on her

side.

She coughed up blood, her voice barely audible. “It hurts so much...”

Chapter 223 Blood for Blood,

Shur up

James cut her off with a tone full of disgust.

There was no way Lily would be dumb enough to push Elsa down the stairs right now and hand her enemies that

kind of ammunition.

The more he looked at Elsa-her pitiful act, her feigned fragility-the more sickened he became.

“You can maybe fool Simon and Johm with your pathetic, manipulative act,” he said coldly. “But notYou're

disgusting.”

James!

“James!”

Simon and John both exploded at once. They couldn't tolerate anyone speaking to Elsa like that. They definitely

couldn't tolerate being called idiots.

John glared at the two of them

clinging together and shouted, Let

her go! She pustietd iba doiwn the
