Lily didn’t want to show weakness in front of these monsters–but she was panicking. She was scared. And no matter how hard she tried to hold it back, tears slipped down her cheeks.

“Why does everything Mathilda says get taken as the truth? I swear–I can prove she set me up!”

Bodger’s expression darkened, his grip tightening with fury. “You nearly killed her, and now you’ve got the nerve to make excuses?”

Sean stood off to the side, arms crossed, watching with cold detachment. He was waiting for Lily to break

-waiting for her to look his way and beg..

Jonah just pulled Mathilda into his arms and snapped, “Bodger, what are you waiting for? Stop wasting time. Throw her into the rocks and make her pay for what she did to Mathilda!”

Tears spilled down Lily’s face, dripping onto Bodger’s hand. The warmth of them made his chest twist uncomfortably.

Looking at her–red eyes, completely crushed–he couldn’t help but remember the way she used to be. Before Mathilda had come back, Bodger had always hated seeing Lily cry. Her tears used to rip him apart. And now? Even after everything, her tears still got to him.

What pissed him off more was how ungrateful she’d become–cold, selfish, like none of it ever mattered.

Mathilda had already suffered enough. He wasn’t going to let her be hurt again. So whatever it took, Lily was going to pay for it.

“Lily!” A shout tore through the tension.

The call Lily had taken earlier–in the parking garage–it had been from James. He knew her heart wasn’t with him anymore. They were just days away from finalizing the diyorce. He had no right to feel anything for her.

But the moment he landed back in the country, she was still the first person he called.

And when she told him to call the police–when she said she needed help–it was clear something was seriously wrong. He knew she was in danger.

He had someone track her location and rushed over without wasting a second. And the first thing he saw when he got there? Bodger was about to hurl her straight into the jagged rocks.

Rage erupted in him, fast and vicious.

He charged forward and landed a solid kick to Bodger’s chest–knocking him off Lily and sending him staggering back. Then he caught Lily in his arms and pulled her in tight.

Lily had been shielding her stomach the entire time.

Chapter 315 The Last Second

The moment Bodger yanked her toward the rocks, she had shut her eyes–100 afraid to see what was coming. She couldn’t face the moment her baby was torn from her.

But the pain never came.

Instead, she heard James’s voice–deep, steady, safe.

And then, like waking from a nightmare, she found herself in his arms.

For a second, she thought it had to be a dream. She pinched herself, just to be sure,

But no–this was real.

And it wasn’t some hallucination caused by blood loss.

James was here. He’d really come for her.

Thinking about how close their baby had come to being killed by those maniacs, Lily felt a wave of fear and helplessness crash over her.

She knew James didn’t like physical contact. He’d always kept a certain distance. But right now, she didn’t care. She wrapped her arms around him and held on like her life depended on it. She wasn’t letting go,

“Lily, are you okay?” he asked, voice low but tight with concern.

The scent of blood hit him immediately. His eyes darkened, sharp and dangerous. If he hadn’t been holding her, he might’ve gone after Bodger again right then and there.

“James…”

Lily knew she was crossing a line–she shouldn’t be clinging to him like this.

But she couldn’t stop herself. She didn’t want to let go. She’d missed the comfort of his arms so much. She held on tighter, like if she let go, he might vanish.

In a world full of cold and cruelty, his arms were the only place she felt safe.

Feeling her body trembling nonstop, James knew she was scared and completely overwhelmed.

He didn’t ask what happened. He didn’t push. Instead, he held her tighter. Stronger.

One hand gently patted her back like you’d soothe a child, and he whispered, soft but firm.

“Don’t cry, Lily. I’m here now. I won’t let anyone hurt you?”

He told her not to cry.

But hearing those words in his voice–hearing the way he comforted her made it impossible to hold back.

She hadn’t realized how much she missed him. He’d only been gone a couple weeks, but it felt like forever. She knew she shouldn’t feel this way. She knew she shouldn’t relv om
