NovelBookChapter 1384 Chapter 1384: The driver gasped in horror, immediately checking Kenji over. "Mr. Reed, are you okay? Where are you hurt?" Kenji's face was pale, his breath weak. He waved a dismissive hand. "Never mind. It's nothing." It wasn't until then that the driver noticed Kenji's sleeve was completely soaked in blood.

Panicked, the driver rushed Kenji to the hospital. After making sure his injuries weren't life-threatening, the driver finally dared to inform Kenji's family.
As soon as the call cthrough, Ellis and the others rushed to the hospital. Kenji's younger sister, Sylvia, ran ahead of everyone, her sobs echoing through the hall the moment she saw her brother lying in bed. At the hospital room door, Ellis and Jaida paused upon hearing Sylvia's wailing.
Ellis frowned. "Are we too late to see him one last time?" Iker, standing beside them, quickly reassured him. "Sylvia always overreacts. It's probably not that bad. Judging by the noise, Kenji's likely just got a few scratches." Without another word, Ellis strode inside with a stern expression.

Iker stepped forward. "How did this happen? Did you get into a fight?" Kenji pursed his lips, his mind flashing to Scarlette. A dull ache settled in his chest. "No, just had a disagreement with Scarlette. My hand got cut by the car window." Iker's brows furrowed. "You hit Scarlette?" Kenji let out a tired sigh. "How could I possibly hit a woman? It's a long story, and I don't feel like talking about it. Either way, it's over now." For a brief moment, his ears rang. Then, he added in a low voice, "Things between Scarlette andare done."

What had happened to make it that serious?" Kenji's irritation flared. His face darkened. "It's the sold nonsense. Scarlette and I are completely incompatible. Ending it now is for the best." Kenji had grown up watching his parents' unwavering love and his brother's smooth, effortless romance. To him, love was supposed to be simple-an easy, enjoyable part of life. But with Scarlette, it had been nothing but conflict and uncertainty. There had been no warmth, no peace-only endless frustration. Rather than drag it out, wasn't it better to cut ties cleanly? At least that way, he could find someone who truly liked him and continue to live the carefree life of a wealthy man. Why should he keep struggling for the sake of a spoiled princess? Exhaling sharply, Kenji turned away and shut his eyes. "You should all go home. I need to be alone for a while." At a luxury hotel, Scarlette stepped out of the shower, wrapped in warmth, and enjoyed a satisfying meal.
But the moment she saw her parents arrive, all the emotions she had been holding back surge to the surface. Overcwith grievance, she rushed with into her mother's embrace and broke down in tears.
Alicia, who had been tense the entire way here, finally relaxed. She stroked Scarlette's hair gently, her voice soft. Okay, sweetheart. We're here "Es now."
After crying for a while, Scarlette nestled beside her mother, clutching her father's hand. Her expression was troubled. "Kenji showed up just in time, so Zayden didn't get the chance to do anything to me. But we can't let Zayden off-he's gone too far."
