He was tall and well–built, with a sharp gaze. His noble aura was not that of an ordinary person.
“We are fine, thanks to this man who saved us,” Shella replied cheerfully.
“Oh, really? Sheila, you can only know a man’s face but not his heart. You should stay away from any. strangers when you are out and about.” Xavier Horst sized Dustin up, his gaze was Judgmental.
“Huh? What do you mean?” Sheila frowned.
“Nothing, I’m just giving you some advice,” Xavier said with a smile.
He motioned to his men to clean up the scene.
“Sheila, let’s not waste any time. We should head back home immediately. Aunt Lily is waiting for us,” Claudia urged.
Although the support team had arrived, this place wasn’t completely safe.
“Thank you so much for your help, I’ll be sure to repay your kindness. Goodbye for now,” Sheila thanked Dustin warmly and turned to leave.
“Miss, your chronic illness has been suppressed for a long time, it might get out of control soon. You should get it treated early to prevent any life–threatening complications.” Dustin blurted out.
When he touched her skin, he noticed that her body temperature was lower than normal. Upon closer inspection, he could roughly infer that the illness troubling her wasn’t a common ailment.
“Hmph! Nonsense!” Claudia curled her lip in disbelief.
“Thank you, I will be more careful!” Sheila smiled brightly and waved goodbye.
Xavier felt a little jealous when he noticed Sheila being so friendly to Dustin.
After Sheila got into the car, he glared at Dustin.
“A word of advice for you, punk. Stay away from Sheila if you know what’s good for you! Otherwise, be prepared for the consequences!”
With that, he strode out of the center. In his opinion, beggars like Dustin did not even have the right to converse with him.
“What a lunatic.” Dustin shook his head and continued drowning himself in alcohol.
Evening, at Fallridge Haven.
Sheila was eating her dinner while telling her parents everything that had happened.
“Dad, Mom, I’m telling you, that man was so amazing. Just two flicks of his wrist, and all the bad guys were killed!” Sheila described the situation eagerly.
She even acted out a scene for her parents.
“Really? I never thought that a small place like Swinton would have such a talented young man. I would like to meet him one day.” Her mother, Lily Doyle, smiled affectionately at her daughter.
Her father, Caden Murray, banged on the table.
“Hmph! How dare you disobey me! Haven’t I warned you? Do not go out and explore without permission! You were lucky that nothing terrible had happened.
