Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 333 There was a row of trash cans lining the street .

Hervey pointed to the green one .

Howard He nodded slightly .

Howard swallowed hard , understanding everything .

He took a step forward and approached the green trash can .

Someone nearby helped him lift the lid .

Ah … The moment the lid was opened , a terrified scream escaped from inside Rosies voice , followed by a low whimper and a desperate plea for mercy .

Dont dont come over come over … please , dont hit me , dont hit me , said Rosie as Howard moved closer , peering down into the can .

up into Rosie was curled up a tiny ball , dirt smeared all over her body and face , looking absolutely pitiful , There were scratches on her face , her hands were scraped , and he couldnt tell if there were other injuries underneath her dirty clothes .

Howards heart tightened .

He needed to get her out of there fast .

He lifted his hand and reached for Rosie .

Rosie … Ah , ah , ah ..

The moment she heard his voice , Rosie startled and screamed repeatedly , Dont come over , dont come over ! She waved her arms around wildly , trying to fend him off .

Co away , go away Just like that , she had scared off a crowd searching for her moments ago .

Howard furrowed his brow deeply .

Instead of backing off , he tightened his grip on her shoulders .

Rosie, calm down .

Ah , ah , ah… The instant he touched her , she tensed up , her eyes wide with pure fear .

Rosie .

seeing her like this was breaking his heart .

Howard pulled her in closer , cupping the back of her head , and pressed her into h his chest .

Leaning down , Howard whispered in her ear , Im Hendrix , do you recognize my voice ? Rosse leaned against his shoulder , still unsure .

Hendrix Yes , Im Hendrix .

Howard spoke softly , soothingly , You know my voice , dont you ? Rosie dazedly nodded .

Yes , she could tell- it was Hendrixs voice .
