His hands-free phone was still on call and he could hear the robber’s footsteps and breaths, as well as Ellen’s voice. He didn’t think she would pursue the robber so persistently.
At the same time, a sweaty Ellen was huffing and puffing at the south exit of Dawn Park. Even though she was running out of breath, she did not give up and always made sure she was at least 50 meters away from the robber.
The robber was a stout man in his early forties. He was running as hard as he could at this moment. “Stop right there!” Ellen shouted while she chased after him. “You damn woman!” the robber cursed.
Lambert’s sports car was parked by the side of the road. After he got out of the car with his phone in his hand and dashed into the park, he caught sight of an overweight man running toward him. The man was holding a phone in his hand.
Lambert didn’t care if this was the person Ellen was going after. He stepped forward and grabbed the man before he snatched the phone out of his hand.
“And who the f*ck are you?!” the robber shrieked in surprise as he peered at this scary, tall young man.
Lambert looked at the screen of the phone and even he couldn’t believe how much of at coincidence it was for him to bump into the thief who took Ellen’s phone. He swiftly threw a punch at the robber. Before the man could react, Lambert gave him another kick. “How dare you steal someone else’s phone? I’ll take you to the police station!”
When the thief heard Lambert mention the police station, he turned pale with fright. He knew he couldn’t afford to provoke the young man in front of him. He didn’t think he would have such terrible luck. Not only was he chased after he stole a phone, but he even ended up being punched and kicked.
Suddenly, he brandished a small knife from his pocket and slashed Lambert’s arm with it.
Lambert, who didn’t expect the knife at all, only felt a sharp pain in his arm when the knife scratched him. The robber took the chance to flee.
“Stop!” By the time Ellen caught up to Lambert, her legs almost gave out and she was dizzy from running. She was completely fixated on the robber. However, she lost him when she came running in this direction. Right as she panted with her arms on her waist, she heard a magnetic and pleasant male voice speak. “Stop chasing. I got your phone back.”
She whipped her head around and took a glance at the sight that left her dumbfounded. He was holding her phone and handing it to her. Seeing this, she immediately took the phone and made sure that it was indeed hers. “What… What are you doing here?’ she asked, puzzled.
“I asked your cousin where you might be. I guessed that your phone was stolen in a nearby park, so I tried my luck and came to see if I could find you. Surprise, surprise.” He let out a smile while he hid his injured arm behind his back. He admired her courage in chasing the thief.
He couldn’t help but ask, “It’s just a phone. Is it worth you running all the way?” “Of course! This phone is very, very important to me.” Ellen tightly held her phone, her joy evident in her eyes.
“Don’t tell me it’s from Young Master Jared!” Lambert made a guess. It was no wonder the thief snatched her phone as it was the latest model.
“Yeah.” Ellen’s pretty face turned pink as she nodded. “It’s from him.” “Well, where are you heading to? My car is close by. Let me drop you off,” Lambert offered.
Ellen quickly shook her head. “Thank you, but I can just grab a cab, Mr. Orey. “I got your phone back for you, didn’t I? Are you not going to buy me a cup of coffee?” he couldn’t help but ask with a smile.
However, at this moment, she suddenly noticed the blood dripping on the ground behind him. Shocked, she hurried around him, only to find that his arm was hurt. “You’re bleeding!” She froze at that
“Ah, the robber had a knife. It grazed me when I was distracted. I’m alright. It’s just a small injury.” No longer hiding his wound after he said that, Lambert let the blood freely drip.
“This is not a small injury! You have to go to the hospital and get bandaged! Ellen quickly persuaded him. Lambert was caught by surprise and he asked expectantly, “Will you go with me?”
She looked at his wound, took out a tissue from her bag, and handed it to him. “Here. Try to stop the bleeding first.”
She folded the tissue and pressed it on his wound. “Forget it!” Ellen huffed. “I don’t think you can drive. I’ll get a cab and take you to the hospital.” He only felt his heart skip a beat as he looked at her. He wouldn’t stop the woman he fell for at first sight from being near to him.
Even though Lambert knew that she had feelings for Jared, he couldn’t help wanting to get close to her. “Alright! Let’s go!” He let her send him to the hospital.
She left the park and got a cab to send them to a nearby hospital. After they sat in the back seat, the driver drove as quickly as he could to the hospital. Out of nowhere, he suddenly made a sharp turn.
Lambert couldn’t help but fall to Ellen’s side, his tall and big figure falling against. her shoulders. Even though their clothes separated them, Lambert still felt his heart beating wildly.
Breathing in, he caught the scent of the mild. fragrance drifting off of her body. It wasn’t some expensive perfume, but it was enough to get his heart racing.
Ellen was so focused on getting him to the hospital that she didn’t care when he pressed. against her. Instead, she told the driver in front, “Sir, safety first!”
On the other hand, Lambert didn’t care about the speed of the car at all. He was now looking at Ellen’s face from up close. Despite being dressed in ordinary clothes, she couldn’t hide. her natural beauty.
Distracted from staring at her, he didn’t hold on tight when the driver suddenly stepped on the break, causing Lambert’s head to hit the back of the front seat with a bang.
“Ouch…” He covered his forehead and resigned to his fate. They got out of the car when they finally arrived at the hospital. Lambert was especially eye- catching because of the tracksuit he had on.
Ellen paid the money for him. After confirming that Lambert needed two stitches for this wound, Ellen sat down and waited for him at the nurses’ station. At this moment, a nurse suddenly enviously exclaimed to her, ‘Wow! Miss, your boyfriend is so hot!”
Ellen was left stunned upon hearing that. However, the man who was being patched up inside let out an amused smile at those words.
After the stitches were finished, he stepped out. with a layer of gauze wrapped around his arm. Still, that did not affect his overall outlook.
The two proceeded to leave the hospital. At the entrance, a paparazzo suddenly spotted and recognized Lambert. After all, the man was the son of a wealthy family and he was active on social media.
Seeing that he was accompanied by a beautiful woman, the paparazzo immediately raised his phone to take a picture. No matter what, this was a piece of news that could stir the Internet up.
Neither Lambert nor Ellen noticed that someone was stealing shots of them from the time Ellen hailed a cab to them getting into the vehicle. The car drove back in the direction of the park. “Hop off,” he said to her. “I’ll take you home.”
“It’s alright, Mr. Orey. You should go back and rest. Thank you for today. Goodbye. After she finished speaking, she continued to ride back home in the cab.
Lambert sighed. The two hours he spent with Ellen didn’t feel enough. He could finally understand why Jared kept such a close eye on her, she was someone whom people easily targeted.
Make sure you keep your eye on her, Jared. The day you cast her aside is the day I will take her away from you, Lambert thought to himself as he walked to his sports car.
At the same time, he was glad that he came. He couldn’t begin to imagine Ellen being the one who was hurt if she and the robber got into a scuffle.
On the other end, Ellen was sitting in the car when she checked her phone. To her relief, it wasn’t damaged. She started fuming when she thought about what Selena had done. What on earth does she want?
Some paparazzo had sold all the materials they captured today to a media company, and that company produced news and posted them on the company’s homepage at lightning speed.
One of the headlines was, ‘The Prince of a Shipping Company, which made it to the top of the list.
The first thing that showed up as soon as someone clicked on the article was a series of clear photos of Ellen and Lambert. Since the paparazzo took them up close, the photos were not blurry at all. Ellen, especially, had a high- definition photo taken from the front.
Even a frontal shot taken with the high- definition phone camera made her appear stunningly fresh. They looked like a young couple from the way she was all smiles when Lambert looked at her.
As soon as this news popped up online, the women who liked to pay attention to wealthy families were the first to find out. Selena was zoned out while she drove home. She wasn’t interested in staying when she knew that the elders would be playing cards next.
Her phone began to ring then. She took a glance at it before picking it up. “Hey, Lulu.”
“My goodness, Lena! Your cousin’s pretty capable, isn’t she? She has just seduced Young Master Jared and now, she even got Lambert wrapped around her finger as well! What is she, a sexy guy harvester?”
“What did you just say?’ Selena immediately pulled over to the side of the road and answered the call seriously. “Haven’t you seen it?! There’s a scandal between Lambert and Ellen! A paparazzo caught them.”
“Send it to me quickly.” Selena was shocked. She didn’t expect that Lambert and Ellen would get in touch with each other so soon with just a random phone call, and there was even a scandal about them online!
