Chapter 65 | Fighting together
Caroline couldn't sleep; she was still overcome with anxiety. Dexson, realizing this, immediately hugged Caroline tightly.
"Go to sleep, it's already nighttime. Don't think about it too much, I don't want you to get sick," Dexson whispered softly as he rubbed Caroline's arm.
"But Dexson, I really can't sleep. I'm still not calm," replied Caroline.
Caroline insisted; she would always be like this if she worried too much.
"I may be overreacting, Dexson. But I have a bad feeling. Usually, I can't sleep and feel restless," Caroline explained.
"Whatever you feel, you have to believe that I will protect you. And everything will be fine," said Dexson.
"I hope so, Dexson. I hope it's just my feelings," Caroline muttered.
Caroline returned Dexson's hug, then tried to close her eyes.
"Go to sleep. Everything will be fine, I'll take care of you," Dexson said softly.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, hitting the glass window of Dexson's room.
Caroline screamed hysterically as she hugged Dexson tightly.
"Dexson, they're attacking us with guns. What should we do?" said Caroline with a trembling voice.
Caroline was undeniably scared by the situation, but she tried to stay calm.
"I will protect you. Try not to let go of me," said Dexson firmly.
"Okay," replied Caroline.
Another gunshot rang out, and luckily Dexson and Caroline managed to dodge the bullet.
"Damn it. Come out! Don't just hide and attack us," shouted Dexson.
Dexson's face was filled with anger. Of course, he was afraid that this attack would hurt Caroline.
Caroline was startled by Dexson's shout, which seemed to be very emotional.
"I'm sorry. Did I scare you?" Dexson felt guilty towards Caroline.
"No, Dexson. I know you must be angry. They've been bothering us," replied Caroline.
"I can't show my cruel side to Caroline. Caroline will definitely be afraid of me," Dexson said to himself.
Caroline and Dexson saw about seven people enter Dexson's room by breaking the window.
Of course, each of them was carrying sharp weapons.
"Damn. Each of them is carrying a sharp weapon. If I were alone, I might be able to face them. But now Caroline is here," Dexson grumbled to himself.
"They might not kill Caroline, but they could hurt her as a form of threat to me. Gicreo might realize that Caroline could be my weakness," he continued.
"Dexson, what should we do? They all have sharp weapons," Caroline asked softly.
"You have to stay calm. I'll make sure they don't hurt you," Dexson replied, stroking Caroline's back to calm her down.
"If you want your woman to survive, you have to surrender," one of them said firmly.
Caroline tightened her embrace; she would not accept Dexson surrendering to save her life.
"Don't do it. We can definitely face them without you having to surrender to them," Caroline said firmly.
Dexson smiled slightly at Caroline's words. He was also quite impressed by Caroline's courage.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid. I will protect myself and you too," said Dexson.
They laughed at Dexson's words.
"You're so sure you can fight us. Especially since you don't have any weapons," he said, looking down on Dexson.
"Even without weapons, I can face all of you," replied Dexson.
"How arrogant. Don't blame us if your woman gets hurt because you insisted on fighting," he said with a laugh.
"And I guarantee that none of you will be able to hurt my wife," Dexson said firmly. His gaze was sharp.
"If only I had called Jack earlier, they wouldn't have attacked," Caroline thought to herself.
One of them gave the signal, and three people immediately pointed their guns at Dexson and Caroline.
"Don't panic. We have to move quickly to avoid the shots," Dexson ordered.
Caroline nodded her head. She tried to follow Dexson's instructions.
The three people began their attack. Dexson and Caroline tried to dodge the shots.
Dexson let the bullet hit his back.
"Dexson," Caroline muttered, staring at Dexson with teary eyes.
"It's okay. Just a small wound," Dexson replied with a smile.
When two people tried to attack Dexson, he immediately kicked them hard.
Caroline almost screamed when a gun was pointed at her. But Dexson immediately grabbed the gun with a quick movement using his other hand.
With his other hand, Dexson still tried to hug Caroline.
"Let's end this," said Dexson as he shot them one by one.
Of course, none of Dexson's shots missed. Not just once, Dexson shot them repeatedly, as if not giving them a chance to fight back.
Caroline closed her eyes at the sound of the gunshots.
"Quite interesting, it turns out you can hurt some of my men and render them helpless," the man growled.
"But I won't give up until I kill you," he continued.
"Damn. I'm out of bullets," Dexson growled.
The three men laughed. Then they approached Dexson.
"Caroline. On the count of three, you run towards my closet. Inside my closet is a black needle. Try to get that needle," Dexson whispered as he gently stroked Caroline's head.
"I know you can do it. And I won't let them hurt you," he continued.
"Okay. I can do it!" Caroline replied firmly. Her eyes looked towards the closet that Dexson had mentioned.
The three of them immediately attacked, one of them using a knife.
Dexson tried to grab the knife, then released his embrace from Caroline. Caroline rushed to run away.
"Don't you dare chase her," Dexson growled as he hit one of them who was trying to chase Caroline.
Caroline managed to find three needles in Dexson's closet. She immediately threw them at them, and instantly they were knocked unconscious.
Dexson laughed and approached Caroline. "You're amazing, you hit them right on target."
"Don't laugh, Dexson, you're hurt," Caroline said with a worried look on her face.
"It's just a small wound. The important thing is that you're okay," replied Dexson as he hugged Caroline tightly.
Dexson then contacted someone to take care of the seven people who had attacked him.
"Dexson. I have to contact Jack____" Before Caroline could finish speaking, Dexson kissed her lips.
"No need. I've taken care of everything. Don't rely too much on Jack. Now please help me treat my wounds," Dexson said firmly.
