My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 924: You Won't Drag Anyone Down With You

"Shame on you!" Phoebe snarled with clenched teeth.

While she was eating her breakfast, her body hadn't reacted. She was defenseless, and she just got hit.

Phoebe felt a pain in her stomach that almost drained her entire body of energy, and she felt so bad she wanted to pass out right on the spot.

But she gritted her teeth and didn't dare close her eyes.

She clutched Stanford's arm with both hands. She looked very uncomfortable, but she said firmly, "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. You and Collin are excellent in combat. Hurry up and get out of here."

After a pause, she added, "Mr. Fraser, get out of here and find someone to get help, and then you come back for me."

Stanford's brow furrowed deeply.

She asked me to come back for her again?

Given the viciousness of the Turner family now, as soon as Phoebe fell into their hands alone, then she would only be killed by them.

Phoebe said this solely to appease him and let him escape alone.

Stanford looked at Phoebe with solemn gaze. And he spoke, word by word. "No matter when or where, I will never leave you alone."

Phoebe suddenly stiffened and looked at Stanford in a daze.

The words were as pleasing to the ear as music. If they weren't in such a dire situation, she would have been especially happy. And she would have flirted with Mr. Fraser and made him say it to her a hundred times over. noveldrama

However, apart from being touched by him, she felt very uneasy and self-conscious.

She didn't want to be a burden to him.

Looking at Phoebe's red eyes, which looked as if she were about to burst into tears at any moment, Stanford asked nervously.

"What's wrong? Does it hurt?"

He thought she was in pain and couldn't take it anymore.

Phoebe's eyes instantly became redder. Looking at Stanford like this, Phoebe loved him even more.

Therefore, she couldn't be his burden.

She shook her head vigorously, "No. I don't feel much pain. Mr. Fraser, don't take me with you, okay? Only if you break through first will you get to survive.

"Phoebe, don't ever think about that again for the rest of your life."

Stanford looked extremely serious, and his tone sounded as if it was a command.

"You're my woman, so you're stuck with me."

It was impossible for him to leave her here alone.

His look of determination was unshakable.

Phoebe looked at him, her mouth wide open, and could not say another word.

The Fourth and the Fifth Elder were not far from them, so they both heard the conversation between them.

The more they saw Stanford's determined attitude, the brighter were the smile on their faces.

Since they were going to sneak up on Stanford, they were well prepared from the start.

Stanford and Collin were very vigilant. If they weren't careful enough, Stanford could easily find out. If they drugged Stanford, it would soon expose their wrongdoings.

Therefore, they drugged Phoebe.

How would a daughter from a wealthy family find anything wrong with the meal? Therefore, she would not be aware of it after eating.

As long as Stanford cared enough about Phoebe and was unwilling to abandon, then they would have the chance to kill Stanford.

"Since you love each other so much, you might as well die and be together forevr. And I will be kind enough to fulfill your wishes."

The Fifth Elder sneered, raised his arm high, and swung it downward.

"Kill them!"

"Every one of them!"

On receiving the order, the bodyguards rushed towards Stanford and the other two with electric batons and daggers from all directions.

The Turner family's bodyguards were all selected carefully. And every one of them had great fighting skills. A group of people charging forward like this was really terrifying, as if they were coming at them like millions of troops, and it looked like they were going to crush Stanford and the others.

They looked ferocious.

Phoebe's stomach hurt so much that she couldn't stand up. And she had to lean on Stanford just to keep herself from falling over.

She was stiff as a rock as she watched the bodyguards rushing menacingly toward them. She felt cold from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

She felt fear and dread.

She didn't want to die.

And she didn't want anything to happen to Stanford.

But when she saw the men, she could even see that they were not the same level as the men Kieran Harris had brought, and there were many more of them than now.

Stanford was worried that he wouldn't be able to handle it, and he had to take her with him.

"Don't be afraid. I'll get you out of here."

Stanford put one arm around Phoebe's waist and held her tightly.

And he had his other hand free to make a clenched fist.

The bodyguards felt a chill and instinctively wanted to retreat, but that was only a fleeting thought.

Since they can become the Turner family's bodyguards, they were selected carefully. And their courage and abilities were one in a million.

They were well trained. Even if their mission was doomed to death, they would never back down.

At that moment, killing Stanford and the others was the goal they had to accomplish.

The bodyguards dashed towards Stanford and the others like wild wolves.

The group of them almost instantly drowned Stanford and his men.

The next moment, with a loud bang, several of the bodyguards in the front flew up and hit the bodyguards behind them.

The group of bodyguards immediately fell one by one.

Stanford and Collin were fighting side by side. And both of them had turned into a different person.

There was a sinister look in their eyes. They looked as if they were demons from hell.

Collin's eyes turned red as he licked his lips with the tip of his tongue and suddenly felt bloodlust.

"It's been a long time since I've fought against others this hard. Leave it to me. I'll clear the way. You take Phoebe to go."

Upon hearing this, Phoebe's face changed dramatically. Was Collin going to stay behind and let Stanford escape with her first? What about Collin's safety?

While Phoebe was worrying, she heard Stanford's low voice ring out above her head, "Hmm."

Stanford agreed to Collin's offer with one simple sound.

Stanford was not the one to leave his friend and run away alone, but now he agreed to such words, it must be because of her.

Phoebe's eyes became even redder as she said through clenched teeth, "If we're going to leave here, let's go together. I will not be a burden to you!"

She tried desperately to hold back the cramping pain in her stomach. She tugged her hands together and used all her strength to get up from Stanford's arms.

She said earnestly, "I can walk by myself. You guys just make the way."

If Stanford didn't have to hold her with one arm, then he wouldn't have to take care of her, and he could be more flexible in fighting those bodyguards.

Stanford frowned slightly, reached out, and pulled Phoebe back into his arms.

He scolded, "Don't be stubborn."

As she fell into Stanford's arms, the strength Phoebe had managed to muster was gone.

She was all weak with pain.

Her eyes turned red, "I don't want to be anyone's burden..."

No matter whether it was Stanford or Collin, if anything happened to them because of her, she would never forgive her for this.

"You're not going to be a burden."

Stanford looked straight into Phoebe's eyes and patiently explained to her.
