If it werent for Marco who protected Loraine with his body, she would have gotten injured. He bore the brunt all alone.
You are wounded! Loraine exclaimed.
Sweat mixed with the blood trickled down Marcos back. Nonetheless, he smiled through the pain and said comfortingly, No worries. Its just a minor injury. It will heal in no time.

At the sight of the wound, tears welled up in Loraines eyes. Her heart ached.
You such an idiot! Do you know you could have died? Why did you shield me?
Loraine burst into tears. She was so emotional and overwhelmed than she was when she faced death a while ago.
Marco raised his hand and wiped the tears on her face. In a soft voice, he responded, I promised that I wouldnt let you get hurt again. And I intend to keep that promise.
Loraine was so astonished that her mind went blank.
Marco thought she was still panicking. He patted her back empathetically.
Dont be afraid, Loraine. The alarm unit in my car must have gone off. Someone will come to help us soon.
Loraine jolted back to reality and moved away from his hand.
She wanted to say, My car has the alarm system as well.
But when she remembered that Marco was in a bad condition because of her, she swallowed her words immediately.
Hang in there. Ill clean up the wound first.
Loraine had briefly received training on first-aid treatment while she was overseas, so she knew how to clean his wounds.
Marco sat there without moving an inch, allowing her to do her thing.
This was the first time they didnt get into an argument since their divorce. A bittersweet feeling surged in Marcos heart.
He stared at Loraine without blinking. The pain from his back occasionally seized him. But it was nothing compared to the joy and warmness he felt from being so close to Loraine now.
