Chapter 285 Howards legs were still shaky , and he had a hard time crouching down .

Rosie Ah The moment he spoke , Rosie screamed in terror .

She covered her ears , shaking as her eyes grew wide with fear .

Dont come closer ! She raised her hand to her neck .

That was when Howard noticed she was holding a piece of broken glass .

It was a shard from the glass cover of the clock she had smashed just moments before , now tightly gripped in her palm .

Daniel Rosie mistook Howard for Daniel and glared at him .

Do you want me dead ? Ill do it myself Suddenly , her eyelids fluttered , her grip relaxed , and the glass shard fell to the floor as she collapsed toward Howard .

He instinctively reached out and caught her .

He e had been the one to hit Rosie hard on the back of her neck , making her unconscious to st rage .

stop her from hurting herself in her rag Howard grabbed a quilt from the bed , wrapping Rosie tightly in it , and with a worried look , he stood up and walked out of the room .

Howard ? Hervey stood at the top of the stairs , coming down quickly when he saw him.

Let me carry her .

But Howard stepped aside , shaking his head .

No need , I can manage .

Hervey said .

But your legs … Howards legs werent strong enough for heavy lifting .

Howard insisted , Shes as light as a feather , a few steps wo Alright Since Howard was so determined .

Hervey chose not to argue .

At that moment , Daniel was still pinned against the wall , completely unaware of the chaos happening behind him .

echoing in the room .

As Howard passed by , his face was dark with a frown , and he kicked Daniel hard .

Ah ! Daniel screamed in pain , his voice e Keeping his eyes ahead , Howard carried Rosie straight out .

Hervey rushed to keep up , his worry clear .

Howard , is your leg okay ? That kick must have taken a lot of effort Its fine .

Howards face stayed serious .

The one to worry about was Daniel .

Once they were in the car , Howard didnt let go of Rosie , who lay against him .

He felt tense and couldnt move much At first , Rosie was silent .

Then , as though disturbed by a troubling dream , she suddenly began to cry .

Her voice was barely above a whisper , soft like mewling kitten , but it tore at Howards heart Howard , unsure of how to comfort her , clumsily lifted a hand and placed it on Rosies back , parting her gently once , then twice .

Somehow , Rosie quieted down , looking calmed by his touch .

Howard looked down at her , brushing the hair from her face as he softly said , Good girl .
