Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 529

Caught off guard by the push, Janet fell down the stairs. The steps happened to be a little high and there were no handrails on both sides.

Just when she was about to bump into the car, a tall figure grabbed her in time. The man stood against the dazzling sunlight and his arm wrapped around her shoulder, protecting her.

After a sharp screeching and a woman's scream of absolute horror, everything went back to silence.

Lila had no idea what had happened. Just as she was pushing Janet in front of the vehicle, she had covered her eyes with her hands and her heart was about to leap out of her chest.

Lila thought it was simply some sort of harmless mistake. She only pushed Janet because anger clouded her judgement and she had lost control of herself just now.

Janet wouldn't really blame her, right?

Lila peeled her hands from her eyes in fear and looked at the road. The timidity in her eyes was dashed and there was only shock left behind.

Lila could make out two figures on the ground. Janet was curled up in Ethan's arms. She was shaking from head to toe out of fear and was sobbing.

Ethan was bending forward with blood splattered on his pants, dripping down from his clothes to the ground.

He got close to Janet's ear and told her words of comfort in a soft voice. Lila couldn't hear clearly what the words he was saying to Janet, but she could see how gentle he was treating her.

Seeing that Janet was safe, Lila turned around and was about to flee the scene.

"Stop right there!" Suddenly, she heard a stern voice call out.

She grew frightened as she swallowed a mouthful of saliva and turned around in fear. "What's up?" Ethan studied Lila from where he was.
