Chapter 58

Jaesun took Lucy to the garden in front of the school. The girl sought his lap, curling up there and crying even more.

Ryeon freed himself from Mark's arms, who was still holding him back out of fear that he would go back and continue beating Sungwon. Ryeon took a deep breath, running his hands through his face and hair, looking completely furious.

Ryeon looked at Lucy crying loudly on Jaesun's chest and heard the sound of Sungwon's friends carrying him to a car that wasn't too far from where they were.

Ryeon glanced at the boy again and took heavy steps toward him. He wanted to hit him more, to hit him until he disappeared and the pain he caused Lucy vanished, but Mark stood in his way, blocking him, and Noah helped to hold him back.

"Leave him. We'll take care of her now. She's the one who really matters," Mark said.

Ryeon took several deep breaths, calming himself down once again, and nodded to his friend.
