After the Eight Years of Love I Gave Up
Chapter 72

Chapter 21

Darius landed a heavy punch on Cassius's face.

And Cassius was not one to take things lying down.

The two men exchanged blows, and soon both had bruises on their faces and bodies.

Security guards rushed over and finally managed to separate them.

But the two men still glared at each other fiercely, unwilling to back down an inch. "Can you stop now?"

I was both angry and anxious, my voice carrying a hint of tears.

Cassius's face was ashen: "Everly, you saw it. Darius threw the first punch."

"This isn't over between us."

"Yes, he did hit first, Mr. Wilde. I'll make him apologize to you."

"We'll cooperate with whatever you want to do about this afterwards."

"Everly, he was the one who insulted me first..." Darius immediately became anxious.

I gently pressed Darius's hand and calmly spoke again: "Mr.

Wilde, let me apologize on Darius's behalf first."

"Everly, you're protecting him like this?"

Cassius slowly took a step forward: "He hit me first, Everly."

"Then how do you want to resolve this?"

"Everly, I'm hurt."

Cassius pointed at his face: "Do you see this injury? It really hurts.."

I glanced at it and calmly replied: "Then I'll call an ambulance for you. We'll bear all the costs."

"Everly, you know that's not what I want."

Cassius tried to pull me, but I dodged.

"Everly..."

Al the emotions Cassius had been holding back shattered.

He looked at me with utter sadness.

But in my heart, there truly were no ripples anymore.

Darius suddenly hissed in pain: "Everly, do you think my face is ruined?"

I quickly turned around. The man in front of me had a split lip, a swollen eye, And blood on his jaw. He really did look quite frightening.

I took out a tissue to help him clean up.

"It hurts... Everly, be gentle, be gentle..." Darius exaggeratedly grimaced.

"Serves you right." I scolded him softly, but still eased my touch out of concern.

"We need to go to the hospital for stitches."

"Then you have to come with me. I'm afraid of needles."

I couldn't help but glare at him, but still nodded.

Darius immediately hugged me: "I also need you to kiss me. It hurts so much here."

I slowly stood on tiptoe and gently placed a kiss on his wound.
