GoodNovelChapter 686 That day, despite his high fever and the twisting pain throughout his body, Steven staggered toward the entrance of the university. He could only be at ease after he saw Stephanie entering campus ground.
"This necklace must be valuable, right? Sthugs had stolen the money from her backpack, even taking the necklace from her neck.
Stephanie was crying as she asked for them to return her necklace. "That was my mother's gift for me!" Steven dashed over in a frenzy, yet the thugs sped away on their motorcycles.
He watched her cry while crouching down to slowly pick up her books.
"Don't cry, Stephie." He wanted to go up and hug her, yet he dared not do so.
In the end, Steven couldn't help but limp over, reaching out to help pick up her books. But the horrifying wounds on his arms still terrified her.

Steven found the bunch of thugs the sday. He managed to get back her necklace and money while still running a fever and sporting unhealed injuries.
He was no match for so many of them, and he felt pain just like anyone else. They wouldn't have returned the things to him if it weren't because of his recklessness. He gritted his teeth and punched the light out of the leader of the thugs.
Eventually, he couldn't hold it any longer and coughed out blood. He collapsed onto the blood-soaked concrete ground while clutching onto the necklace.
Steven looked up at the gloomy sky, feeling cold. "I'm so cold, Stephie...
Stephanie was carefully looking around at the entrance of the university after her classes.
She was worried that those thugs might harass and bully her. As such, she wanted to avoid them and find a way to escape.
But as soon as she stepped out of campus, she caught a whiff of the strong stench of blood from someone. She looked up fearfully and was met with Steven's gaze.
He had put on gloves in order not to frighten her. He then pushed the necklace and money into her hands before turning around and walking away.
Stephanie parted her lips, yet nothing cout of her.
She was about to leave for home, to go back to the house of another man. She would forget about him completely and fall in love with another man Steven hid in the alley as he endured the pain and slowly removed the gloves with his teeth.
His badly burned hands shouldn't be covered in gloves. It felt like he was peeing a layer of skin whenever he removed his gloves.
But he was afraid that he might frighten Stephanie without them.
"Let's head back htogether, Stephie!" Since then, Stephanie started having friends walk her back hafter classes.

"It's good that those thugs who bullied you are gone now, Stephanie!" She smiled and glanced to the corner.
Steven was hiding in that very corner, secretly protecting Stephanie.
"I'll kill you if you touch her again," he said hoarsely as he stepped onto a thug.
The thug ran away and cback with a group of people to look fan Steven. They finally cornered him where Stephanie was around. "There are people fighting over there, Stephie! It's so scary! Let's go!" "Someone is dying over there! Let's leave, Stephie!"
Stephanie's legs felt numb as she turned around to look at the corner of the alley All she saw was a pool of blood slowly seeping out. "Con, Stephie! Stop staring and let's go!"
Steven leaned against the wall of the alley with his arms s hanging limply by his side Inchis hand, Stephanie's ID photo was soaked in blood. He murmured, "Thank goodness, you've forgotten aboutnow, Stephie... Don't be sad... Don't turn around or remember me..' X
