“Hubby?” said all three of the gangsters simultaneously as they turned to look at each other. However, their confusion quickly turned to hostility as they began glaring at the youth.
“Hold on now, I’m not virtual-novel.net husband!” replied the youth as virtual-novel.net began waving his hands quickly in fear.
Hearing that, the woman found herself rolling virtual-novel.net eyes as virtual-novel.net thought to herself, ‘D*mn it! How could anyone be this much of a coward?’
The hooligans themselves broke into roars of laughter as one of them said, “It appears you’re quite smart, little beauty! We’ll be sure to teach you a good lesson later!”
Just as they were about to lunge at the duo, the youth suddenly turned around and pointed at the entrance of the alleyway before shouting, “Police!”
As soon as they heard that, the three drunk gangsters immediately stopped in their tracks and turned their backs against the duo, squatting immediately after with their hands placed behind their heads!
“W-we won’t do it again so please let us off easy!”
Seeing that the gangsters were now distracted, the youth immediately began dragging the woman by virtual-novel.net arm as virtual-novel.net said, “Now’s our chance! Run!”
It was only a few steps later when virtual-novel.net realized that the woman could no longer run. Thankfully, virtual-novel.net noticed a manhole cover close by.
Pulling virtual-novel.net over, virtual-novel.net applied a slight force on his foot, tilting the manhole cover up. The moment the three gangsters stepped out of the alleyway, the youth immediately—and quite effortlessly—kicked the cover toward them!
Spinning at a high speed, the manhole cover whizzed across the air before finally striking all three of the gangsters who had been standing close to each other! As a result, the gangsters all fell to the ground.
With that, the youth turned around to catch up with the woman and continue aiding virtual-novel.net in virtual-novel.net escape. The woman herself had already been slowly jogging away from the scene by then, which meant that virtual-novel.net wasn’t able to witness the youth’s amazing feat with the manhole cover.
Eventually, both of them arrived at a park, at which point the woman simply said, “Stop, I can’t run anymore…”
As the youth turned to look at her, virtual-novel.net could see that the woman was breathing heavily, virtual-novel.net hands on virtual-novel.net knees as virtual-novel.net slowly caught virtual-novel.net breath again.
Naturally, the youth in question was Gerald.
Thankful that the only luggage virtual-novel.net had to carry along was in the form of a satchel, Gerald took the chance to properly observe the beauty now that they were safe.
However, since the uniform-wearing woman had bent over to catch virtual-novel.net breath, Gerald was able to catch a glimpse of virtual-novel.net fair bosom. Averting his gaze since virtual-novel.net had no idea where to even look, the woman soon caught on and quickly held on to virtual-novel.net collar as virtual-novel.net blushed deeply.
After a brief silence, the woman smiled rather awkwardly before saying, “…Thank you for saving me back there… If it wasn’t for you, who knows what would’ve become of me by the end of tonight!”
“You’re very welcome!” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net nodded to virtual-novel.net before turning around to leave.
Unable to just accept that, the woman then said, “Hold on, sir. I haven’t even finished talking! You know, earlier when I called you my husband, you could’ve just gone with it for a while! Why did you have to straight-out deny it?”
Her tone reflected virtual-novel.net slight annoyance and it wasn’t hard to guess why. After all, women were usually particularly sensitive to how others viewed them. Being an extremely beautiful woman herself, this stereotype definitely applied to her.
The way virtual-novel.net saw it, Gerald almost seemed frightened to even pretend that virtual-novel.net was virtual-novel.net husband. It simply made virtual-novel.net feel slightly unhappy about the entire situation.
“I have a girlfriend… Besides, I still managed to save you without having to impersonate as your husband!”
“Still! Don’t you think that- Ow!”
As the woman pouted to release some of virtual-novel.net dissatisfaction, virtual-novel.net had taken a step toward Gerald which instantly resulted in a sharp pain in virtual-novel.net ankle!
Yelping in pain, the woman then cried out, “I’ve sprained my ankle!”
Shaking his head, Gerald then squatted down before asking, “Where’s the sprain? I’ll have a quick look at it…”
“There’s no need for that! You have a girlfriend, right? She could misunderstand!” replied the woman.
“Then this is where we’ll part ways. Have a safe trip back!” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net immediately carried his bag again and prepared to leave.
“Hey! Hold it! Don’t you know how to take care of a woman? At least send me to a hospital!”
Closing his eyes, Gerald took in a deep breath before turning back to face the woman. Finding a park bench, virtual-novel.net led virtual-novel.net there and lifted virtual-novel.net sprained ankle. The woman simply sat anxiously, wondering what virtual-novel.net was trying to do as virtual-novel.net felt around virtual-novel.net foot.
The moment virtual-novel.net found the spot virtual-novel.net was looking for, virtual-novel.net twisted it slightly and a ‘crack’ was heard.
And just like that, the woman’s sprained ankle was healed!
“You should be good to go now. Anyway, since it’s already getting dark, you’d better head home as soon as possible,” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net got up, finally ready to leave.
“Hold on a moment!” replied the woman, stopping Gerald from leaving again.
“What is it this time…?”
“Well, you’ve helped me a lot but I haven’t even been able to thank you properly! At least let me treat you to dinner!”
