Caelan glanced at his phone and quickly answered.
Isabel’s tearful voice came through. “Caelan, help me! Someone’s following me! I’m scared!”
Caelan shot up immediately and spoke softly to calm her. “Don’t worry, Isabel. I’m coming to get you.”
Isabel kept crying. “Will Ms. Warren be mad that I called you for help so late?”
Caelan gave me a quick glance and coldly snorted. “Who cares if she gets mad? Your safety is more important.”
He ended the call and rushed to the door without looking back at me.
“Caelan,” I called out.
Irritated, he clicked his tongue. He turned around and said, “Didn’t you hear that Isabel’s in danger? Stop making trouble!”
I interrupted him. “Can you grab my phone? I need to call an ambulance.”
He was stunned after hearing that.
I continued, “Since you’re not taking me to the hospital, I’ll have to call an ambulance myself.”
That seemed to remind him I was hurt. He quickly made the call.
Before leaving, he shot me a few guilty looks. “I’ll come see you at the hospital later.”
I spent the night in the hospital, but Caelan never showed up.
When I got home after being discharged, I saw that Isabel had posted something new on her alternate account.
She wrote that a stalker followed her home, so she had to hide in a convenience store because she was scared. Fortunately, Caelan arrived just in time.
He beat up the stalker, but the guy managed to cut Caelan’s stomach with a small knife during the fight.
There was even a picture of Caelan lying at Isabel’s place with his shirt lifted and waiting to be treated.
The comments were buzzing.
[Oh my God, those abs! What do they feel like?]
Isabel replied, [Hehe, I’ll tell you after I enjoy them!]
Soon after, I came across a video of the whole incident that the convenience store staff posted.
The footage showed Caelan beating the stalker up until the guy could not move.
After wiping the blood off his hands, Caelan suddenly pulled Isabel into his arms and gently comforted her.
His eyes were full of warmth and care.
The sweet scene made my heart hurt.
