Chapter 817 Safeguarding Her

Anson had asked the doctor about Miya’s condition and he can take the unconscious Miya home.

He places her into the car and takes her back to the Comte residences.

After the car stops, Anson carefully picks Miya in his arms and is worried that he may hurt her. As he
carries her out of the car, he is met by a tall and imposing man.

That’s right, that man is Derrick. He looks sinisterly at the woman in Anson’s embrace and with his
hands behind his back, his eyes betray a hint of mischief.

“Brother, you are bolder than I imagined. To think that you dare to bring this woman home. Aren’t you
afraid that father will dismember her?”

“What father wants to do is his business. Now please don’t block my way.” Anson says emotionlessly.
Although he is frosty when he speaks, he turns warm and tender when he looks at Miya.

Derrick steps aside and does not continue to interfere.

Bruce is standing in the living hall with an interrogative and authoritative expression. He isn’t angry but
purses his lips and readies to speak but Anson speaks before him.

“Father, I know what you want to say. Allow me to place her down and I’ll come back immediately to
you.”

Bruce’s face is dark and so furious that he is at a loss for words.

Anson places Miya onto the bed and then returns to the living hall. He kneels before his father, “Father
I know what you want to say. I’m sorry.”



“Do you still regard me as your father?” Bruce is beyond furious, “If it wasn’t for Derrick who told me
about this, how long do you intend to keep me in the dark?”

“Did Derrick tell you everything?”

“You are so dedicated to that woman. I already know everything that you did.”

Anson knows that Derrick will not keep a secret for him and also knows that he will embellish some
frivolous things. But he knows that he can’t keep this secret for long.

“Father, I am determined to marry her. As long as she can remain by my side, I will agree to any of your
demands.”

“You no longer have a bottom line, do you? You weren’t like this in the past.”

“You said it correctly, that was my old self,” Anson adds.

“You have grown up and have changed. I hope that you remember what you said today. If you want to
have that woman by your side, then you must be stronger. Do not give everything to your brother.”
Bruce warns.

“Why? Doesn’t he want everything?” Anson questions.

“Because, in my opinion, you are the best choice but now you have the compassion of a woman. You
weren’t like that in the past.” Bruce looks at Anson, disappointed that he is not living up to his potential.

“Everyone will change. I can’t live under your control all my life and become your puppet. I finally found
my purpose for living and I hope that none of you will hinder me. Otherwise, I will revolt with all my
might. You should know how extreme I can be when forced. These are all that I wish to say and the
rest is up to you.”



After saying these, he stands up and turns to leave, and goes back to his room.

This isn’t a negotiation. It is a warning. His son’s character has been like this but he never expects his
son to say such things to him all because of that woman.

Derrickis hiding nearby and eavesdropping. He punches the wall and clenches his fists tightly in anger.
The veins on his face are protruding with fury. With how things are, why hasn’t father given up on that
scoundrel and made him the successor of his business instead?

Looks like he needs to resort to his own methods. It is useless to depend on others. Derrick leaves as
he plots.

Back in his room, Anson holds tightly onto Miya’s hand.

“Rest assured that no matter what happens, I will be by your side and protect you.”

Miya wakes up after two days of unconsciousness. She continues to remain in her terrified state and
trembles in fear whenever she sees someone.

As soon as Anson walks out of the courtyard, he sees Miya in a panic-stricken state trying to escape.

“What happened? Why did she leave the room?”

The servants are at a loss, “We don’t know what’s the matter. When we came in the morning, she
became frightened and paces around in fear as if we are about to devour her.”

“Remember that you must not hurt her when you subdue her.” After Anson instructs them, he remains
worried and walks over to them.

Miya is like a frightened little rabbit and curls up within the flowering shrubs.



“You all are trying to catch me, don’t catch me, go away!”

She slaps the leaves in fear and panic trying to scare away those servants who are approaching her.
The servants back off as they are worried about hurting her. They all know how precious she is to
Master Anson. None of them can answer to Master Anson if they hurt her by accident.

Now with the commotion, they are even more worried that she gets hurt. When that happens, they will
receive punishment as well.

“Okay, all of you may leave. I’ll handle this myself.”

The servants leave in a hurry after hearing what Anson says. None of them wants to be involved in her
matters.

“Are you alright?” Anson walks over.

Miya is so frightened that she scurries away and hides in another corner, “Go away, don’t come near
me…”

“I won’t go near you as long as you don’t feel frightened.”

“Are you hungry? Shall I take you out to eat something?” Anson suppresses his patience and says.

At this moment, Miya nods. He barely manages to calm her down when suddenly Derrick appears,
makes a scary expression, and shouts “Boo”. His actions cause Miya to faint and collapse onto the
ground.

“Brother, I didn’t think that she is so fragile. All I wanted to do is to play a prank on her.”

As soon as he says, Anson immediately punches him in the face.



“I’ve warned you, if you dare to harm her, I will not go easy on you.” After saying this, Anson picks her
up and carefully protects her in his embrace. Like safeguarding a porcelain doll from harm.
