Chapter: 764
He was glad Norah was safe.
"Kason, how did you get here?" she asked. Aware that Kason's leg injury was still healing, she called out to Kaiden, “Hurry up and help him."
Kaiden had witnessed Kason's entrance and saw him, upon noticing Norah in danger, pull out a bodyguard's gun and struggle to his feet to assist her. It was a poignant moment, showcasing Kason's deep affection for Norah.
Unfortunately, Kason had missed his chance to be with her. He had known Norah first, but in the end, Mr. Scott had stepped in, and Norah ended up with him.
Kaiden supported Kason's faltering body and sighed inwardly, lamenting that Kason's love had been claimed by another.
Sean clutched Norah's hand possessively while Kason's gaze fell.
"I was involved in the task to eradicate the Inferno Alliance.
Hearing about trouble at Glamour Club, I rushed here and happened to catch them in the act," Kason explained. His eyes hardened as he looked at Sean. "Mr. Scott, it's crucial to be vigilant about safety."
If not for his intervention, Norah could have been injured, and Sean, as her boyfriend, had failed in his responsibilities.
Sean's expression darkened, irked that his rival had saved his girlfriend and aware that he could have allowed Norah to dodge the threat herself.
"There's no need for Mr. Hayes to worry. I can take good care of my girlfriend. We're leaving now."
Norah's eyes sparkled, catching the underlying tension between the two men. Kason was concerned about Sean's attentiveness to her, wasn't he? Her heart felt a touch of reassurance. She had wondered if Kason no longer valued their friendship. Yet, even knowing she was with another, he still instinctively cared for her safety.
"Kason, I'm fine. Don't blame Sean."
With so many corpses in the room and all of Sean's attention solely on Norah, it was understandable that he had overlooked the gang leader and his minion.
Yet, Sean's face grew stern, taking Norah's words as an accusation aimed his way.
"Your wound hasn't fully healed yet. You should be taking care of yourself and leave these issues to others."
“Okay, I understand," Kason replied, his tone neutral, showing nothing more than friendly concern.
As Norah walked past him, she noticed a distinct smell of blood coming from him.
She stopped and turned to examine him more closely, who stood stiffly in front of her.
Sean asked, “Honey, what's wrong?"
She let go of Sean's hand and moved closer to Kason. The scent of blood intensified, confirming her suspicion that it was emanating from Kason.
She carefully examined his upper body and noticed a darker patch on his black T-shirt, a sign of blood.
“Are you hurt?"
She wondered if he might have been injured while pushing her out of harm's way, considering his injured leg.
