Chapter 372 Recognition in Blood

Several security guards pinned Megan firmly to the ground. The knife was already in James’s hand there was no chance Megan could get up and hurt Lily again.

James kicked him hard, over and over. Megan writhed in pain, groaning, unable to even find his voice. He trembled on the ground, completely broken.

“Jackson…”

The moment had been far too close.

Lily had truly thought that blade would plunge into her stomach that she would lose the baby inside her, that she’d die bleeding on the cold hospital floor.

She could never have imagined that Jackson, without hesitation, would throw himself in front of her and take the blow.

He was just a struggling acting student she’d hired for a job. Altogether, she hadn’t even paid him more than a hundred thousand yuan.

She couldn’t understand it. Why would he risk his life for her?

She helped steady his weak, swaying body, her voice hoarse with emotion. “Why? You said… no matter how many years we’re apart, you’d recognize me the moment we meet again.”

Jackson caught a glimpse of James standing in the distance pale–faced and silent.

His injury wasn’t that serious.

But to make Lily worry more, to tug at her heart, he let his body wobble, his breath shallow and weak. “But I finally found you again… and we’ve spent so long reunited… and you still didn’t recognize me. You’re a liar…”

Lily froze.
