Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 277

Lindsey’s tears rolled down in a steady stream and her whole face was dirty and unsightly. Allie turned to Shaun and said in a soft voice, "Isn’t this game fun?"

Allie just wanted the people who had treated her badly and hurt her to watch each other's downfall with their own eyes.

Lindsey's nerves jumped as a flurry of punches landed on Shaun's body. Gradually, the man became unsteady on his feet and he fell to his knees.

"Stop it! Stop! Don’t hurt him!" Lindsey’s voice was dry and her eyes were blurred. She did not know whether it was from the effect of the drugs or her tears.

The rag that gagged Shaun's mouth gradually turned blood red and two trails of blood flowed down his nostrils.

Lindsey's legs were weak and she wanted to help him, but she could not. All of a sudden, her abdomen began to hurt.

Allie blinked her eyes and looked innocent as she asked someone to help Shaun, who had a bloody face, over to Lindsey. Then, when she was out of Lindsey's sight, she leaned close to Shaun's ear and whispered, "Don't tell her who I am and I'll let you say a few words to her, okay?"

She was still grabbing Lindsey's hair as she smiled modestly. "If you dare say anything, I’ll kill the child first, then I’ll do the same to her. I believe that you don't want to see that happening, do you? You also know that I’m capable of doing it."

Shaun's eyes were barely open, but when he heard that, he lifted his eyelids and glared coldly at Allie.

Allie was not frightened by his glare and looked at Shaun as if he were a dead man. She then signaled the person holding him to take off the rag that gagged his mouth.

The strong smell of blood came over him.

Shaun suppressed the blood that came up in his throat and looked at Lindsey with a smile. "Don't cry..."

Lindsey's body was trembling and she was incoherent. "You...you shouldn't have come..."

"I'm fine." Shaun's face was unsightly, but his eyes were gentle. "I just want to protect you."

His eyes were deep as if he could see the young girl she once was. He had unfinished words that Lindsey would probably never get to hear in her life. ‘I didn’t get to protect you last time and let you marry someone else. That was my lifelong regret…’

"Linds, don't be sad." Shaun wanted to reach out to touch Lindsey's head, but his arms were tightly confined.

He told Lindsey not to be sad, but his eyes turned red. "I’m sorry, Linds. I’ve done so many things to let you down..."

Shaun had worked with Allie to go against Zayn and hurt Lindsey in the process. That was his ultimate regret.

A teardrop fell from the corner of his eye. Shaun suddenly felt that what Zayn said to him was right.

Shaun had always thought that he and Zayn were rivals, but all this while, it was just his wishful thinking. He had long lost the right to love the woman in front of him.

That night at Pink Lane, he had learned to let go of his feelings. Now when he watched Lindsey being hurt right in front of him yet he could not do anything about it, the remorse and pain that overflowed in his chest reminded him of his stupidity and forced him to admit that his so-called love was just his selfish desire.

He could only hope that these epiphanies were not too late.

The light under Shaun's eyes darkened. "I owe you an apology. Linds, you have to survive no matter what!"

"Brother..." Lindsey shook her head and was unable to speak properly. The pain in her belly was getting stronger, which made her dizzy. The figures in front of her started to blur.

After saying that, Zayn suddenly folded his hands together. "It doesn’t matter now. Let’s go to the psychiatric hospital. Hurry!"

The black car rushed out from the busy airport in a flash. Soren drove and his expression was as glum as Zayn’s.

......

The blurriness in front of her eyes was getting stronger. Sieben clutched the stone in her hand and allowed herself to blend into the darkness as she dared not move.

"If we go any further, we’ll run too far out. Should we still chase her?" The sound of those words was fading away from Sieben.

Not far ahead, Sieben could see a shadowed building. That was the psychiatric hospital. She could also see lights glowing from the inside.

"Forget it. Let’s stop chasing her." The leader signaled and the group quickly retreated.

Sieben held her breath and stared for a moment. Once she made sure that all the footsteps were far away, she quietly crawled out from her hiding place.

With hair covering her eyes and little strength in her limbs, her body's senses became dull and numb.

Thus, when Sieben felt a sudden gush of wind coming from behind her, she only had time to move her head, but she still did not completely dodge it. A pole of some sort hit her hard on the head and she fell heavily on the ground.

"Stupid b*tch! You made me go through all this trouble!" The person who attacked her was the leader of the group who had supposedly left. Somehow, he hid nearby and since Sieben’s senses were affected by the drugged bun from earlier, she did not notice his presence.
