Rebecca turned toward the noise and saw Karen, looking panicked and with her clothes in complete disarray, bolting out of the private room next door. As Karen ran past, she shot Rebecca a quick glance–without saying a word, she sped on and rushed outside.

Meanwhile, two burly bodyguards rushed out from the private room.

Two burly bodyguards came rushing out of the private room.

Rebecca instantly got the gist of the situation. She shouted after Karen, who was already a few steps ahead, “Karen!”

Karen stopped in her tracks.

Rebecca hurried toward her. “Come here, I’ll protect you.”

Karen’s eyes flickered with hesitation. She glanced at the bodyguards Mark was blocking, then back at Rebecca, who faced her with a calm and determined look. For a moment, Karen’s mind was racing with a jumble of emotions.

Rebecca quietly straightened Karen’s messy clothes. When she saw the tear in Karen’s top, she didn’t blink- she shrugged off her own jacket and wrapped it around Karen, then handed her the car keys. “The license plate ends with 866. Go wait for us in the car.”

“But…” Karen bit her lip, looking uncertain.

She was nothing like the Karen Rebecca remembered from the hospital.

Back then, Karen was all smiles–friendly yet somehow a little distant. Now, worry and fear were swirling inside her, all her defenses stripped away.

“Don’t worry, I’ve got this,” Rebecca said confidently, shooting a look at Mark. “And if it comes down to it, Mark can take on ten guys at once–they won’t stand a chance.”

Karen handed the keys back to her. “I’m not leaving you.”

‘She’s trying to protect me–how could I just run off and leave her behind?‘ Karen thought, her heart pounding

Rebecca simply nodded, accepting her decision and letting her stay.

“Move it, or don’t blame us if you get hurt,” one of the bodyguards snapped at Mark, looking a little less tense

when he saw Karen hadn’t bolted.

“Go ahead, make my day,” Mark said, ultra polite. “Seriously, it’s wall–to–wall cameras in here. If you guys wanna start something and I accidentally put you in the hospital, that’s called self–defense.”
