Chapter 859 Her Hero
“Capital punishment is illegal here! Moreover, you guys don’t have any evidence. How could you guys just insist that she committed adultery?” Jason felt as if someone had stabbed him directly in his heart when he saw the girl on the ground. How could they do this to a poor girl like her?
“Who do you think you are? These are family matters, and it has got nothing to do with you!” The clan leader’s wife waved him off without showing the slightest interest in his words.
“How has this got nothing to do with me? You said that Mayaboy left the house late at night, but that was only because she had come to meet me. We only chatted for a while in the guesthouse, and nothing else happened between us. Let go of her right now!” Jason ordered in a stern tone.
Mayaboy lifted her head to see Jason towering over her. At that moment, he was like a superhero who protected her from the danger she was facing. She felt content just knowing that there was a man willing to stand up for her in such a situation.
“Ah! So, you’re the man who slept with someone else’s wife!” The clan leader’s wife shot to her feet and wagged a finger at Jason. “You guys are a filthy, cheating couple!” she cried as she raised her fist. She was about to send her fist in Jason’s direction when he shot her a stern glare. Then, she held herself back before she sent a kick toward Mayaboy’s head. “You cunning b*tch! What are you trying to achieve by hooking up with a townsman?!”
The clan leader’s wife hadn’t held back with her kick, and Mayaboy felt her vision turning dark as everything around her spun in circles. She felt as if she could no longer hear anything that was going on around her at that moment. As she felt her consciousness slipping away, she gradually fixed her gaze on Jason, and she looked like she was about to say something to him. She had parted her lips to speak, but she couldn’t get the words out in time, for her eyelids had gotten too heavy, and finally, she lost all consciousness.
“Savannah. Savannah!” Jason cried as he ran to her. He lifted her into his arms when she didn’t respond to him at all.
“Look at them, you guys! They’re in broad daylight, yet they aren’t even trying to hide their relationship at all! My poor son!” The clan leader’s wife began to sob once more.
Jason couldn’t care less about her. He immediately carried Mayaboy over to the clinic in the village. None of the villagers dared to do anything to him since he was from the town; they all knew they wouldn’t benefit from messing with a man like him. Townspeople could sue them for anything. Once, they had encountered a townsman who looked like a pushover, so they all charged him a higher price and kept a few of his belongings for themselves after he left it behind. To their surprise, the man later returned to search for his belongings. They decided to deny their involvement, but they ended up in court. Several villagers had to compensate the townsman for his loss, and the villagers even ended up serving in jail for a while. Therefore, all of them knew that it wasn’t a wise move to provoke anyone who came from town.
Jason traveled at a quick pace, and he continued to call Mayaboy’s name as he rushed to the clinic. “Savannah!” he cried. When he arrived at the clinic, the owners immediately shut their doors and locked up before he had the chance to step foot in the building. The owners of the clinic were part of the community, and Jason understood that they might have been afraid to offend their clan leader.
Hence, he had no choice but to carry Mayaboy over to another hospital that was further away from the village. Along the way, he asked others for directions toward the neighboring town. The journey involved a lot of bumpy roads, and Mayaboy gradually regained consciousness while they were on the way to the hospital.
She opened her eyes to see the back of Jason’s head. His hair was still as dark as it had been when she first met him. In her mind, she recalled a memory where she had teased him for the shampoo that he used, as it made his hair shockingly smooth. The girl let out a smile as she looked at Jason. It has been so long since we last met. I don’t recall anyone else ever carrying me like this. I don’t even recall anyone who has been this kind to me.
Jason traveled miles just to get to the town hospital, and the doctors there gave Mayaboy a quick checkup. “It’s mostly external injuries, so she should be fine. However, some of these wounds look infected, and she has a lot of wounds. We might have to give her a drip and monitor her for a while, just to ensure that the infections don’t continue to happen.”
“She was kicked in the head, and she fainted after that. Do you think she might have a concussion?” Jason asked worriedly. Then, he sent a concerned glance in the girl’s direction, only to realize that she had opened her eyes and was staring at him with a smile on her face.
