I've Been There Before Chapter 295 How Can He Protect Her

In the end, the fatty’s bat did not land on Grace.

However, it landed firmly on a broad back.

The fatty was so scared that his hands trembled. The leader of the thugs looked at the person who
appeared out of thin air. Just now, he was thrown to the corner by a force. Not knowing how too much,
he just looked at the person who just popped out in astonishment. “You ... who are you?”

Where did this guy come from?

He was still thinking about it when he suddenly realized that he hadn’t done his job. He coldly snorted
and shouted, “Fatty, hit!”

“But …”

“No buts! Once we’re done, we’ll leave the city immediately. We’ll never come back.”

“But this person, what if …”

“Don’t think too much but the money! It’s enough for us to live happily for a lifetime. After this, we will
be idle and enjoy our lives.”

That fatty was frightened by the man who just showed up and hesitated. The leading hooligan noticed it
and shouted, “You are not committing murder or arson. What are you afraid of? Even if we were
caught, we would be only convicted of assault. After a few years in prison, we will be clean. Where
can’t we go with that large sum of money?”

“It …”



The fatty was panic because of the accident and mindless due to the words of the leading hooligan.
Behind the fatty, a sturdy man rudely pushed him away.

“Shut up!

Damn fatty! If you don’t do it, I’ll!”

The sturdy man swung the baseball bat and hit the person in front him.

“Look! Just like it. Damn fatty, we agreed that the one who hit people will get an extra share of the
money. Seeing that you are a loser and a virgin, we are afraid that you won’t find a woman and left this
good job to you. With an extra portion of the money, you can find a wife. Since you are unwilling to do
it, then get lost. I will take the extra portion of the money.”

The sturdy man raised the bat and hit again.

“Ouch!”

A muffled groan came to Grace’s ear. She raised her head in a trance. In the dark night, someone
hugged her. Someone tightly trapped her to keep her safe. The person’s muffled groan could be heard.
Vaguely, she seemed to have returned to the prison back then. A girl had taken all the pain for her.

It sounded like … Leona.

“Leona …” In an instant, her eyes got moist and sore, “Leona …”

At this time, she realized that she had missed Leona for so long.

She didn’t dare to admit it for a long time, so long that she could only mourn with Leona’s memorial
tablet.

She was guilty.



“Grace … don’t be afraid.”

A man’s deep voice came into her ears.

Grace trembled coldly and came to her senses. With the moonlight, she looked at the face of the
person lying on her. That face was so familiar to her though it turned into ashes.

“Miss James, do you know him? Who is he?”

Grace said coldly, “We don’t know each other. Aren’t you paid to do your job? Don’t you just want my
hand? Let go of the innocent. You don’t have to do anything. I’ll cripple my hand in case I owe anyone
a favor.”

The guy in the lead laughed and said, “Do you think I’m stupid? You don’t know each other? Liar!”

If they didn’t know each other, how could he call her name?

“Say it!” After that, the man in lead turned to the sturdy man and said, “Well, leave this man alone.
Anyway, we’ll be out of S City tonight and never come back. Big man, go break one of her arm!”

The big man kicked Caden and said, “It’s none of your business. Get out of my way!”

“No, I won’t let you hurt Grace.”

“Fatty, pull this man away.” The gangster in the lead took out a cigarette and smoked. “Hurry up and
run away after we finish it.”

The fatty was famous for his strength, so he went up to pull the man away from Grace, “Man, don’t
make things difficult for us.”

Though he exerted all his strength, he failed.



The leader of the gang lost his patience and said, “There is no need to separate them if the man
insists. Big guy, beat them together. He has it coming. Just don’t get him killed. Let me see how he
protects Miss James once he felt the pain.”

Grace’s face turned pale.

“Get lost! It’s none of your business!” she shouted at the man on her, “I told you to scram. Can’t you
hear me?”

“No, Caden won’t let them bully Grace.”

“Don’t you listen to me?” When necessary, she could only take out her trump card. “If you’re
disobedient, go find Ingemar tomorrow.”

She looked fierce but was perplexed in mind. The muffled sound of the baseball bat hitting on his back
brought groan of pain to her ears.

At this moment, she remembered the past Caden!

If he was sober, how could he allow such a lowly and unscrupulous person to show off?

If he was sober, he would have already used tough methods to suppress these hooligans.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

... The sound of the stick smashing into his back caused her heart to feel an inexplicable pain.



Before her eyes, he was hugging her. She looked up at the man who was sweating profusely and
furrowing his brows tightly in pain. A large palm suddenly covered the back of her head and pressed
her back into his embrace.

“Grace, endure it. Don’t be afraid. Caden will protect Grace.”

Grace’s breathing slowed down, and a sour feeling that she hadn’t have for a long time gradually filled
her heart … Endure it?

What was she going to endure?

He said he would protect her.

Caden had always been arrogant and aloof like a wolf, domineering like a tiger, and extremely tough.
Such a man would keep the woman he promised in safe by all means.

However, the man at this moment acted like a child. He was not as powerful as Caden who was tough.
How could he protect her?

She was in his arms, with her eyes wide open. How could he protect her?

His back bore the blow of the bat for her.

This person used his body to protect her from the slightest harm.

In his arms, she opened her eyes, full of tears.

She didn’t know why she shed tears, but she heard this man groan in pain.

In the past, Caden would knock down the person who tried to threaten him, but now, he would use his
shoulders and back to keep her from the harm of the world.



Grace’s nose became sour.
