Chapter 73 I Came Late
Now, Eloise’s clothes were almost torn. She felt deeply the feeling of desperation.
Staring at the door of the hotel room, at this moment Eloise’s mind was filled with Hector’s name.
He would find her, he would surely find her.
The man looked extraordinarily eager. Great, the most beautiful woman at the ball tonight was about to
become his.
A drop of tear slid over Eloise’s face, a feeling of helplessness consumed her. ‘Hector, if you did not
come sooner, I’ll be done for…’
As the clothes on Eloise’s back was about to be torn apart, at this very moment, the sound of knocking
sounded at the door.
“Is anyone there?” It was Rupert’s voice.
Eloise was already hopeless, but once she heard this voice, a bit of hope lit up in her eyes.
Eloise immediately wanted to scream for help, but the man was faster than her.
A pair of hands clenched tightly onto Eloise’s mouth, not allowing her to make any noise.
Eloise struggled, but it was useless.
The man looked outside a little nervously, afraid that they were really going to barge in.
Outside the door, it had once again become silent, the person outside might have left.
Eloise whimpered and struggled, seeing that her last hope was getting extinguished.
Her mind was foggy and her conscious became more and more blurry. Eloise tried to keep herself
awake, she even thought that if she saved her last breath and knocked towards the wall, the man could
not have possibly done towards a body…
The man regained his expression just now, it was just a minor interruption.
Eloise’s heart sank to the bottom, just when she thought that all hope was lost, the door opened
suddenly.
At that moment, she thought that she had a hallucination. Was it Hector? He came…
The man looked at the few people in shock, and let go of Eloise hurriedly.
On the side of the hotel bed, Eloise was leaning there feebly. Her hair was in disarray, and her gown
was torn. Her rosy face was now very pale, finger marks could be seen clearly on it.
Hector’s entire being radiated with an aura of darkness. At this moment he was like a devil coming out
from hell, at that instance his eyes flashed with destruction.
He took a wide step forward and kicked the man on the floor aside.
Hector took off his coat and covered it onto Eloise’s body, holding the still trembling woman tightly.
Eloise’s mind was blurred, she leaned into the man’s chest limply, at one moment she felt that she was
about to die.
The familiar scent came and Eloise only felt assured.
“Hector,” Eloise had no strength to open her mouth, her voice was frail and hoarse.
“I’m here. Sorry I came late.”
The low voice sounded, Eloise could clearly feel that he really was here. She was not dreaming.
Her last sense and consciousness finally crumbled and she fainted.
Rupert froze, standing where he was and watching this scene. When he saw that she had fainted he
immediately said, “Brother, shouldn’t you hurry up and send her to the hospital?”
Hector heard this and carried Eloise carefully.
He looked at the man on the floor and murder radiated from him. His cold voice rang, “Keep this man
on watch.”
The sentence sounded like it was sentencing the man to death.
Rupert nodded, “Alright, be assured, brother!”
The man on the floor was so afraid he was trembling, he knew that the person was Master Rupert.
He was done for…
Did that woman not tell him that this woman had no status and background? Why was this related to
Master Rupert?
When he came to his senses, the man hurriedly apologised, “Mr Rogers, Master Rupert, I’m sorry. I
didn’t know that she’s one of yours. I was wrong, I really was. Please let me go!”
Hector took no heed of him, he carried Eloise and left.
The man could only look at Rupert and he knelt and begged for his life.
“Master Rupert, please forgive me! I didn’t touch her, I swear I didn’t touch her, alright? I know I was
wrong, please let me go!”
Rupert laughed coldly, “Forgive you? It wouldn’t be enough even if you’ve died a hundred times.”
For something like this to happen, Rupert felt that even his own survival would be a problem. Since all
these years, he as a brother had never seen Hector so furious.
Further, thinking of Eloise’s look just now, he ached for her just by watching.
This man was done for no matter what. Rupert took out his phone and rang the police station’s number.
“No, Master Rupert, please let me go!”
The man knelt on the floor pulling on Rupert’s leg, begging crazily. No, he could not go to jail, or else
everything would be gone.
Rupert kicked him away forcefully, the man who was already hit on the head by Eloise just now, once
kicked like this by Rupert he immediately fainted at this moment.
…
Reeve froze and stood where she was, no one taking heed of her.
To be honest, she was shocked badly as well when the door opened to reveal this bloody scene.
Simultaneously, she felt clearly about the care that Hector had towards Eloise.
His entire being radiate with a dark aura. There was a moment that Reeva really thought that Hector
wanted to kill that man.
She stunned as she watched the man she loved covering Eloise with his coat and carefully carried her
and left. He did not speak to her nor even take a look at her.
Reeva felt devastated.
Indeed, her instincts before was correct.
There was nothing between Eloise and Rupert, the person who had something with her was Hector.
Reeva had never seen him being worried like this, her heart went crazy with jealousy.
At that instant, Reeva wished deeply that she did not ask that server where Eloise was, then they
would not have found her this fast…
If Eloise was indeed raped, Hector must no longer want her.
Reeve did not know why she would have such horrible thoughts, as she left the hotel room absent
minded.
…
Eloise was sent to the hospital.
The driver was driving. On the way, she clenched onto Hector’s sleeve unwilling to let go.
Looking at the woman’s pale face, Hector’s heart ached terribly. He did not dare to imagine that if he
had been slightly later, what would have happened the next second…
“Drive faster,” Hector ordered the driver.
The driver heard this and sped up the car.
When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor examined Eloise and said, “Mr Roger, for this lady,
besides the external wound on her hand and being slightly suffocated, she’s alright overall. She will be
able to wake up after some rest.”
Hearing this, Hector heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily no harm had came to her.
After the doctor left, the bed sank into silence. Eloise laid on the bed, and Hector sat by her side NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
guarding her.
Her face was still a little pale, as if she was having a bad dream. She still mumbled, “Don’t touch me,
don’t touch me…”
“I’m here, Eloise.”
