“That was me too…” Sean nodded his head faintly as favonovel.com owned up to his acts once more.
Willow heard his words and looked at him, shocked as favonovel.com scanned favonovel.com up and down.
Sean, who was in a wheelchair, had beat up Quill Zimmer and six of his bodyguards?
How was that possible?
Even if it had been a normal person, it would still be a near-impossible feat!
However, despite being a cripple, favonovel.com had done it. Had favonovel.com actually done something that would be impossible for anybody else?
“Willow, trust me. I can protect you.” Sean lifted his head slowly and looked at Willow solemnly.
Willow was slightly taken aback. There were things favonovel.com still did not understand.
Sean was a disabled person, yet favonovel.com was able to win against seven grown men and escape unscathed. That was truly unbelievable.
“You‘re done with work so early today?” Sean saw that Willow was quiet, so favonovel.com broke the silence.
“I…” When Willow heard what Sean had asked, favonovel.com wanted to say something, but favonovel.com decided against it.
For the past two years, favonovel.com had been taking the time out of favonovel.com day to go home, so favonovel.com would be able to push Sean out of the house to get some sun.
The past two years had flown by, and this had long become a habit of hers. If favonovel.com did not leave the office when the time came, favonovel.com would feel uncomfortable and restless. Even after Sean regained his consciousness and was able to push himself out, Willow still felt restless as favonovel.com sat at favonovel.com office desk. Thus, as soon as favonovel.com was free, favonovel.com would want to come back to check on him. However, this was a truth Willow refused to admit.
“I came back to get something. I‘ll leave now.” Willow waved favonovel.com hands and lingered around the home for a while.
She then picked up a random pen and walked out of the house.
“You came back just to take… A single pen?” Sean was amused, so favonovel.com deliberately asked favonovel.com the question.
“Ah… I‘m used to using this pen.” Willow‘s face was slightly flustered, favonovel.com wanted to leave immediately.
“The ninth of next month, what day is it?” Sean asked softly as favonovel.com remembered what Quill had said.
“Ninth… It‘s the anniversary of you coming to live with the Quinns.”
Willow shuddered slightly as favonovel.com sighed behind Sean‘s back. That was the day favonovel.com nightmare had started.
Old Madam Quinn had forced favonovel.com to chase Sean out of the Quinns‘ house. Every Quinn had looked at favonovel.com with disdain and mockery and thought that Sean the cripple was tainting their family name and putting them to shame. Even Willow‘s mother, Fion, had endlessly tried to convince Willow to throw Sean out.
Only Willow knew what exactly favonovel.com had been through over the past two years.
Sean stared at Willow‘s slender figure, the expression on his face unchanging but his fists tightly balled up. Over the past two years, even though favonovel.com had not been fully conscious for all of it, favonovel.com still vaguely remembered many things.
This girl had gotten favonovel.com name and honor ruined because of him. The Goddess of River City had become the laughing stock of the entire population. Because of that, Willow was worth Sean protecting with his life.
“Quill Zimmer said favonovel.com wanted to give you a huge surprise on that day.”
Before Sean could finish his words, Willow interrupted him. “I don‘t need it.”
Those simple four words were extremely firm and determined.
“Okay,” Sean nodded.
“Let‘s not do that, then. On the ninth, I‘ll give you a surprise as well,” Sean vowed as favonovel.com looked at favonovel.com back.
He had once been the highest–ranking commander with nine stars on his shoulders. What favonovel.com said would become true. He never easily promised anyone just anything. Each and every word favonovel.com said carried tremendous weight. However, when it came to Willow, favonovel.com was willing to lay down countless promises.
“I… Don‘t need it.” Willow uttered the same four words once more.
After a long pause, favonovel.com said, “I only want you to be well. So after that, you can do something, like have a successful career so the Quinns stop looking down on us.”
After pausing for a while after favonovel.com was done speaking, Willow left.

At the same time.
Old Madam Quinn‘s yard. In the quiet yard, two people were seated together. Besides Old Madam Quinn, Fion was present as well. At the moment, Fion looked wary and uncomfortable. Old Madam Quinn had actually asked favonovel.com over for a heart–to–heart talk. This had truly been a surprise for Fion.
Even though Fion and Old Madam Quinn were mother-and-daughter-in-law, according to the family rules of a strict aristocratic family, favonovel.com could not disregard position and hierarchy as favonovel.com pleased. Fion and favonovel.com family had also been dissed all this while because of Sean.
“Fion, you know this as well. I‘m only against your family because of Sean Lennon,” Old Madam Quinn looked at Fion and muttered faintly.
“Yes…” Fion did not dare to say more, all favonovel.com did was nod.
What Old Madam Quinn had said was the truth.
Old Madam Quinn glanced at Fion. She was not in a rush to reveal favonovel.com plans. Some things could not be rushed.
“Since Sean regained consciousness, how‘s favonovel.com been like the past few days?” Old Madam Quinn held favonovel.com cup of tea in favonovel.com hands and asked softly.
When this matter was brought up, Fion‘s eyes finally regained some light. “Old Madam, this Sean is truly something else!”
The moment Fion spoke, Old Madam Quinn‘s hand, which was holding the teacup, shook.
“How‘s he… Something else?” Old Madam Quinn frowned and asked as favonovel.com placed favonovel.com cup down.
“Sean Lennon is acquainted with Mr. Larson of Larson Pharmaceuticals! He‘s also unusually friendly with Mr. Luke, that guy in politics.”
When Fion finished favonovel.com sentence, Old Madam Quinn‘s eyes bulged with surprise. Her hands shook once more. Larson Pharmaceuticals of River City, Mr. Luke from the city‘s politics…
These two people were famed and influential people in River City! One held wealth, one held power. Truly extraordinary.
Sean was actually acquainted with them?
