Andrea's scream was ear- splitting, and it really seemed like her stomach was aching terribly.
The bodyguards outside glanced at each other. Although Terrance had told them Andrea was full of tricks, they also knew that she was very important to Madam Hans. They might not be able to bear the consequences if anything happened to her.
Then, the two of them ran inside quickly.
"Miss Yu, are you all right?"
"My tummy hurts!"
Andrea was putting on the performance of her life with her heart-wrenching tears.
However, the two bodyguards didn't notice and they said, "Wait here, we'll get a doctor for you."
"Ouch, I think I have a cramp, so can one of you please help me? I need to sit up!"
Andrea was breathless from her crying.
Then, the bodyguards glanced at each other before one of them quickly reached out a hand to her.
"Miss Yu, take my hand, I'll pull you up."
Andrea smirked coldly when she saw how gentlemanly he was acting before she quickly took hold of his hand. Then, she said, "Please be gentle, I'm in a lot of pain."
"All right."
No matter how strong-willed the bodyguard was, he was still swayed by Andrea's soft hand, her pitiful tears and her coy voice.
Meanwhile, Andrea knew exactly what he was thinking as she'd seen plenty of men like these when she followed her father around.
When the bodyguard pulled her up, she threw herself into his arms.
"Ah, it hurts!"
Andrea scared the bodyguard so much that he nearly shoved her away, but he froze when she shouted in pain.
"Miss Yu, are you all right?"
At that moment, Andrea heard a set of footsteps from the outside.
Having grown up together with Dylan, she could clearly recognize the sound of his footsteps.
Then, Andrea pulled on the bodyguard's hand as she took off part of her coat, which revealed her milky white shoulder. Tears flowed out of her eyes as she screamed, "No!
Please don't!"
The bodyguard was incredibly stunned by this chain of events.
"What are you doing, Miss Yu? Let go of me!"
The other bodyguard noticed that something was obviously wrong and he stepped forward to pull Andrea away.
"Miss Yu, you'd better let go if you know what's good for you!"
"How dare you!"
Dylan arrived at the ward in an instant.
Rage ripped through his chest when he saw that Andrea's clothes had been ripped away and that two men were pulling at her.
"Let go of her!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed one of the bodyguard's collars before he threw a punch.
"Dylan, save me!"
Andrea was breathless from crying and her distress seemed genuine.
Dylan was already in love with Andrea before this, so he obviously would not stand by and watch as the woman he fancied was violated by two men. He managed to subdue the two bodyguards in no time, and he carried Andrea in his arms after that.
"Let's go!"
Then, Andrea leaned into Dylan's embrace pitifully as she cried, "I'm so scared, Dylan."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you ever again!"
Hence, Dylan thought that he was being very gallant, but unbeknownst to him, Andrea was smiling wickedly in his arms.
After a long time, the bodyguards managed to come to and they immediately called Terrance.
"Mr. Hans, someone has taken Miss Yu away. We weren't able to stop him as he was too strong."
Terrance was surprised, but he was glad that Andrea had been taken away.
"Don't worry about it and just come back first. It doesn't matter who's taken her away bacuse it doesn't concern us. Just tell my mother the truth when you return."
"Yes sir!"
The bodyguards breathed a sigh of relief when Terrance did not punish them.
Meanwhile, Dylan had driven Andrea to his place after he brought her out of the hospital.
Truth be told, he was quite simple when it came to his living quarters.
However, Andrea looked around at the hotel which was barely rated four- stars and crinkled her nose in disgust, "You live here, Dylan?"
"Yeah, what's the matter?"
"Well, I don't really like it."
After that, she leaned into his embrace and said, "Staying here makes me think of what the two bodyguards did to me. If you came any later, I'm afraid..."
As Andrea spoke, she began to cry.
"Hey, hey, don't be afraid. Everything's fine now, isn't it? If you're dissatisfied, I could always go back and teach them a lesson."
In fact, Dylan couldn't bear to watch Andrea cry and he would be panicked whenever she shed tears.
On the other hand, Andrea felt great satisfaction when she saw how concerned Dylan was for her.
"There's no need for that, but I am a little hungry. I don't think the hotel has nice food by the looks of the room, so do you mind getting me some food from a nearby restaurant?"
Andrea's eyes were glazed over with tears as she looked at Dylan. Hence, he was heartbroken and he quickly agreed to her request.
"Okay, I'll buy you whatever you want to eat."
As he spoke, he quickly walked out to buy the food.
After Dylan left, Andrea wiped her tears away to reveal a proud smile.
She had men like Dylan at her beck and call. Although he was good to her, she always found men like him to be lacking something.
After all, everything in life was just a transaction. Thus, the men who treated her kindly seemed spineless to her.
Then, Nathaniel popped into her mind.
