She barely managed to utter those words when he shielded her in his embrace, taking the fall as a rock meant for Carol's head

Pain flashed across Felix's face as he frowned and kicked away the man who had thrown the rock.

"Felix, do you even realize what you're doing? Why are you protecting her?"

Carol, seeing Felix move to confront the man again, panicked and pulled him back.

She had seen Felix in fights before, where he always seemed in control, but tonight he seemed desperate.
