True Love Waits novel Chapter 1018

Roscoe shook off the men holding him up. He glared at Evelyn resentfully. "I'm good. Stop pretending to be kind. Think I can't afford the medical fees? Why didn't you just stay in the Huo family manor? Why did you have to leave the house and bring bad luck to people? You're a jinx! That's all you'll ever be!"

This time, Sheffield shook off Evelyn's hands and charged Roscoe, kicking him hard in the abdomen.

"Ah!" screamed his victim.

That was the cruelest kick Sheffield had ever dealt to anyone.

Roscoe, unable to stop himself, hit the wall hard and then slumped to the floor.

The people in the corridor were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe, let alone stop Sheffield.

Evelyn staggered when Sheffield wrenched free of her hand. If it weren't for Felix catching her, she would have fallen.

"Sheffield!" She steadied herself and called the furious CEO, so anxious her voice was close to screaming. Panicked, she told Felix, "Keep those two apart!"

"Yes, Miss Huo."

To her surprise, Sheffield caught Felix and pushed him away. Felix recovered quickly and began a rapidfire sequence of blows, which Sheffield blocked deftly.

Joshua couldn't just watch Sheffield beat Roscoe to death, so he tried to stop him. "Dude, calm down."

Sheffield shook off Joshua and Felix and once again rushed at Roscoe. When he was about to kick him again, Evelyn dashed over and stood in front of Roscoe. She looked at Sheffield and said, "Stop it! Now!"

Her sudden appearance caught Sheffield by surprise. Luckily, he lowered his foot in time so she didn't get kicked.

Evelyn took his hand and said seriously, "This is seriously not cool. Keep doing this, and I'll get angry."

He shrugged her off, adjusted his clothes, squinted at her and said nothing.

Seizing the opportunity, Evelyn asked someone to help Roscoe to his feet and get him out of there.

Evelyn whispered to Felix, "This is on me. Get someone to clean this up, and I'll foot the bill."

"As you command, Miss Huo."

Evelyn turned to talk to Sheffield only to find he was already headed for the door.

Without any hesitation, she followed him and called his name.

Sheffield walked faster. It was apparent he didn't have the slightest intention to wait for her.

"Ah!" Evelyn's cry of pain made him stop and whirl to face her.

She leaned against the wall, nursing her ankle. Anguish marred her lovely features.

She looked at the man in front of her, showing sadness and grievance in her eyes. "It's my ankle. I think I sprained it."

Sheffield's heart softened.

He closed his eyes helplessly, walked up to her and gathered her in his arms. "What did you think you were doing?"

Evelyn cradled his neck and complained, "Following you. You walked too fast, and didn't wait up."

When Sheffield took her to his car, Joshua opened the backseat door for them and reminded, "Be careful."

After settling Evelyn in the car, Sheffield got out.

Then he turned to Joshua. "I'll take her home. Get a cab."

Joshua couldn't believe his ears. "Planning on burning your bridges behind you?" But after a glance at Evelyn, he conceded, "Fine. You're the doctor." He waved at Evelyn and said, "Bye, Evelyn."

"Thanks, Joshua."

"You're welcome. Bye!" He then left.
