Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

“Hey, Carl. You’re hurting me! What’s up with you?” Sean asked in a strained voice.

He realized that Carlisle was putting almost his entire body weight on his shoulders..

After that, he noticed that Carlisle was dripping with sweat, and his face had gone pale. Instantly, Sean’s face tensed up. “What happened, Carl? You’re scaring me!”

“Lily is in danger. Quick, take her away…” Carlisle urged forcefully through gritted teeth.

Sean put his hand against Carlisle’s forehead and realized that he was running a slight temperature. In a concerned voice, he exclaimed, “You’re burning up. Why are you having a fever all of a sudden? You’re

even spewing nonsense!”

Carlisle glared at Sean and shouted, “Quickly go…”

He was feeling weak all over at this moment. Otherwise, he would have run over personally.

“Stay here then. I’ll go over now.”

Sean made sure that Carlisle could stand on his own before he trotted toward Lily.

Vroom vroom!

From afar, a motorcycle was coming toward them at high speed. There were two men riding on the motorcycle with helmets on.

Sean noticed that the motorcycle was moving toward the lane nearer to the bus stop.

Was this a snatch theft?

Sean clenched his fists and dashed ahead.

The man riding pillion grabbed onto the backpack in Lily’s arms.

“Ah…”

Before Lily could even respond, she was being dragged forward by a magnanimous force.

“Go to hell…”

Sean leaped like a lion and pushed the motorcycle to the ground.

Due to inertia, the motorcycle was pushed over 20 meters away. The two men on the motorcycle had fallen to the ground and were skidding ahead.

Sean fell to the ground hard. He got up from the ground and roared, “We’re being mugged! We’re being mugged! Call the cops!”

Despite that, those passersby turned a deaf ear and kept their distance.

Sean was dumbfounded. What was wrong with these people? Why weren’t they helping? Was there no one brave enough to help the victim?

“My school fees… My school fees…” Lily cried as she ran toward the man who snatched her backpack.

At the same time, both men had gotten up from the ground, too. Each of them whipped out a well- polished knife and walked toward Sean.

“Get back here, Lily…” Sean yelled.

Lily also noticed the knife in the robbers‘ hands. She didn’t dare to take another step forward.

Then, a cement mixer tryck honked and sped past them.

Sean rushed to the front of Lily. He put up a brave front and glared at the two robbers. He called out, How pompous of you to rob someone in public. Aren’t you afraid of the law?”

Before coming to Riverland, Rory had reminded him that this was a chaotic place. He advised him to

avoid going out on his own at night.

But he had never imagined it to be this chaotic.

Not only were these people trying to commit snatch theft, but they weren’t even making an attempt to

escape right now. They seemed like they were wanting to take revenge on him.

This was the city area!

“Take the things and leave. Don’t do anything rash…”

Carlisle had gotten his hands on a fire extinguisher. He carried it and came to Sean’s side.

The two men with helmets were very burly. Their arms were thicker than Carlisle’s and Sean’s thighs.

They even had knives in their hands. If they really came at them, Carlisle and Sean would be the ones at a

loss.

Lily’s backpack probably contained school fees. These robbers were after money. It wasn’t worth it for them to get stabbed just for the sake of getting their money back.

The two burly men looked each other in the eye. They also spotted the flickering lights from a patrol car not too far away. So, they gave up on their revenge and ran toward their motorcycle.

“My school fees…” Lily cried. Tears streamed down her cheeks. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Those were school fees that her grandfather had gathered after selling off his favorite cow. She was now being robbed of it. How was she going to attend school?

Sean looked at the bystanders angrily. He chided, “Are you all heartless? Why didn’t anyone step forward to help when you all saw a woman being robbed? What is happening to the virtues of our country?”
