Chapter 473

He played with the knife, suddenly turned around and saw the two bodyguards who were dumbfounded, and chuckled, “Why don’t you get out of here!”

The two bodyguards came to their senses and hurriedly ran out in panic.

After the bodyguards left, the dilapidated warehouse suddenly appeared even more desolate.

Anton held a knife and walked towards me and Reynaldo step by step.

Reynaldo struggled to his feet, leaning on the ground. He swayed unsteadily, looking as if he could no longer stand. He stood in front of me and said to Anton, “I know why you hate me, you… you sent her back to the city unharmed, I… I owe you my life.”

“I didn’t want to.”

I looked at the tall figure in front of me, blurred by tears and covered in blood, and choked out, “I want to be with you. If you die, I die too. I don’t want to go back to the city alone.”

With that, I turned my head and looked urgently at Anton. “I don’t know what grievances you have with the Humphrey family, but if you want Reynaldo’s life, then take mine as well. No matter what, I wanted to be with him, alive or dead.”

“Esmeralda… don’t be silly!” Reynaldo was having some difficulty speaking.

The bloodstains on his body had almost dried up, looking horrifying. My heart ached, but I didn’t know how to save him. I looked at Anton sorrowfully, praying that this man would spare Reynaldo. Did he really hate Reynaldo that much?

He approached Winston from elsewhere with careful planning, and so many things can be seen that he really hates Reynaldo and the Humphrey family. I clenched my lips tightly, staring at Anton without blinking, tears streaming down my face in desperation.

Anton glanced at me lightly, and his face, which was extraordinarily handsome, showed no expression. He didn’t say anything. Just as he reached out and gave Reynaldo a gentle tug, Reynaldo’s tall figure swayed and toppled to the side.

I exclaimed, “Reynaldo…” Reynaldo fell to the ground, grimacing in pain.

Anton walked up to him, looked down at him, and chuckled, “They say Reynaldo is extremely intelligent and quick-witted, especially in the business world, but it seems like he’s not all that after all. This is not your style. Luckily I came. If I hadn’t come, would you have to watch her being bullied by Winston with your eyes wide open?”

“Reynaldo, oh Reynaldo, just like when we were kids, you couldn’t protect her at all. What else will you do besides hurting her?”

When I was a child? When was that? Why did even Anton mention his childhood? So, I should have known them all when I was a child. But why do I have no recollection at all? What on earth is going on? What did I forget after all?

I furrowed my brow, trying hard to remember. Suddenly, some blurry and unfamiliar images flashed through my mind. I tried hard to grasp it, but suddenly my head started to ache; the harder I tried to remember, the more my head hurt. I closed my eyes in pain, trying hard to restrain myself from thinking.

In the chaos, Reynaldo’s deep voice came from the side. “Yes, I couldn’t protect her, so I’m handing her over to you now. You take her away, take her to the city safely, don’t worry about me.”

Upon hearing this, I felt anxious. I shook my head urgently, “No, I don’t want to, Reynaldo, I want to be with you.” Seeing the man’s weak appearance, my heart ached severely.

I looked tearfully at Anton, wanting to beg him to save Reynaldo.
