Chapter 150 - Save him!

"Alexandre, please don't! Alec, please! PLEASE!"

This feeling of horror, fear and helplessness. These feelings suddenly clasped her heart with an icy cold hand!

She looked cautiously at the sharp knife, which had sunk deep into his flesh. "HELP!" She tried her best to give her voice strength. "Save him!"

One of the bodyguards was already at her side. The black hair hung confusedly in his face, his eyes shining like sharp golden blades. Shadows lay heavy on his features.

"Save him!" Lily's voice was hoarse as a stream of tears rolled down her cheeks. She wanted to grab him by the shoulders and scream. How could he not help Alexandre? WHY?! "You must save him!"

"Madame you must calm down, the ambulance will be here soon."

"He's bleeding to death! There's no time! Do something! Anything! Now!" Every second he lay limp in her arms drove her insane. Why did he cover her? Why?! How did it come to this? Was she worth his sacrifice? What would happen...? She didn't want to think about it anymore. He just wasn't allowed to! "Alexandre, please! Alec, Alec, please, no!" Lily's voice broke, she sobbed silently, tears clouded her eyes. "Help him! You must help him!"

"Madame! You must calm down. You have to stay calm until the ambulance comes. Or else Sir will lose more blood!"

Sirens were sounding in the distance, but she didn't pay attention. She cried and prayed, pleaded and hold him.

The crowd was quickly evacuated by house staff and blocked for public access. The unknown assailant lay unconscious on the floor while the security staff of the department store arrested her and waited for the police. Suddenly, the rescue workers were at the couple's side and carefully moved Alexandre to a stretcher before dealing with his wound to transport him stably to the rescue scales. Immediately Lily wanted to follow them and tried to get up.

Her legs felt as if they were made of a wobbly pudding mass. She barely made it up, suddenly arms were there to support her and help her up. "Madame don't worry, everything will be fine." The bodyguard looked at her with worried eyes. Blank, she looked at the man. His name had slipped her mind for a brief moment. "Thank you... Rene. Follow... I... I must follow him..." Lily stuttered in a completely absent-minded way. Her gaze was still fixed on the backs of the rescue team.

With shaky legs, Lily could hardly stand upright, but she forced herself to follow Alexandre as fast as possible. "Madame. Everything will be fine! We'll follow you to the hospital."

Lily nodded, completely frozen, she followed the bodyguard Rene, who didn't let her out of his sight for a second. Suddenly, something rammed her legs. Startled, she started to stagger, looking for support by the person next to her.

"Lily, Lily, don't leave me?"

Adrian's heartbreaking voice woke her from her endless delirium. "Lily!" Sobbing and trembling all over, the chubby arms of the toddler clasped Lily's legs tightly.

The child cried loudly, each sob drove a wedge deep into her heart. His lips were wide open. Round, thick tears rolled down his red cheeks in streams. His eyes were swollen red from all the crying. But his clear gaze held her tight.

He stretched out his arms, immediately she bent down to the toddler and lifted him into her arms.

The moment Lily pressed the little boy against her, he wrapped his arms tightly around her neck. Crying, he buried terrified his chubby body in her embrace. He trembled like a leaf, his little body paralyzed with terror.

The toddler's arms twitched weakly as he clung relentlessly to her. He feared that he would be left behind again. The toddler could not bear to lose his family a second time. He clung even tighter to his mother.

The soft little body shrank into Lily's embrace. She stroked his narrow back, kissing the toddler's hair. "Everything will be fine! It's gonna be okay!" She whispered in his little ear. She did not know for which ears these words were meant, for Adrien's or maybe hers. She tried to concentrate and followed the security team.
