Twin Cupids at Work Daddy Come Home novel Chapter 403

Madeline’s breath caught. She stared at his hand, wrapped tight around the blade, blood trickling down and dripping onto her face.

Julian’s face was pale and tight, his forehead and cheek scraped raw, his clothes slashed and torn. He looked battered, but he stood there between her and danger, unflinching.

His lips pressed together, his dark eyes burning with anger as he glared at the man with the knife. The attacker, terrified, let go and jerked back. A second later, Julian used the same knife and slashed it across the man’s throat.

The leader of the group just stood there, stunned.

“Mr… Mr. Grayson…”

He was still alive?

Madeline stared at Julian, unable to believe it. It took her a while to find her voice. She whispered his name softly, “Julian?”

He dropped to his knees beside her, eyes wide as he took in her injuries. His hand came up, thumb brushing the blood from her lips. “Don’t worry. I’m taking you home.”

Madeline’s heart quivered. His touch was warm, grounding her, making her realize he was really here and unharmed.

“Boss, what do we do now?” one of the men asked, glancing nervously at their leader.

The leader looked sick.

With Julian here, there was no way they could keep going after Madeline.

Julian looked back at them, his gaze freezing cold.

He knew who was behind this.

The leader stammered, “Mr… Mr. Grayson, we… we…”

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.

The man yelped and ducked, covering his head.

Julian spun just as a bullet, out of nowhere, slammed through Madeline’s shoulder. Her whole body shuddered and went limp. She toppled backward.
