Chapter 333 There was a row of trash cans lining the street .

Hervey pointed to the green one .

Howard He nodded slightly .

Howard swallowed hard , understanding everything .

He took a step forward and approached the green trash can .

Someone nearby helped him lift the lid .

Ah … The moment the lid was opened , a terrified scream escaped from inside Rosies voice , followed by a low whimper and a desperate plea for mercy .

Dont dont come over come over … please , dont hit me , dont hit me , said Rosie as Howard moved closer , peering down into the can .

up into Rosie was curled up a tiny ball , dirt smeared all over her body and face , looking absolutely pitiful , There were scratches on her face , her hands were scraped , and he couldnt tell if there were other injuries underneath her dirty clothes .

Howards heart tightened .

He needed to get her out of there fast .

He lifted his hand and reached for Rosie .

Rosie … Ah , ah , ah ..

The moment she heard his voice , Rosie startled and screamed repeatedly , Dont come over , dont come over ! She waved her arms around wildly , trying to fend him off .

Co away , go away Just like that , she had scared off a crowd searching for her moments ago .

Howard furrowed his brow deeply .

Instead of backing off , he tightened his grip on her shoulders .

Rosie, calm down .

Ah , ah , ah… The instant he touched her , she tensed up , her eyes wide with pure fear .

Rosie .

seeing her like this was breaking his heart .

Howard pulled her in closer , cupping the back of her head , and pressed her into h his chest .

Leaning down , Howard whispered in her ear , Im Hendrix , do you recognize my voice ? Rosse leaned against his shoulder , still unsure .

Hendrix Yes , Im Hendrix .

Howard spoke softly , soothingly , You know my voice , dont you ? Rosie dazedly nodded .

Yes , she could tell- it was Hendrixs voice .

Suddenly , she felt a rush of safety .

This person had saved her life .

He was a go a good person I wont hurt you , Howard said gently , taking his time to reassure her .

Come on , lets get you out .

You need to take a bath , change your clothes , and then let the doctor check if youre hurt anywhere .

Rosie didnt say anything , As Rosies tense body slowly relaxed , the fear still lingered in her eyes .

Hesitatingly , she nodded .

Its a bit high .

Howard remarked as he glanced around , puzzled about how she had managed to climb in .

After a moment of contemplation , he said softly .

Sorry for intruding .

I need to carry you out His hands settled on her waist , securing her gently as if she were a child , lifting her effortlessly .noveldrama

Ah ! Hosse exclaimed as her body suddenly lost contact with the ground .

Instinctively , she reached out and clung to Howard , wrapping her arms around his neck .

And the moment her feet hit the ground , her toes rests on his shors .

Its okay .

Howard reassured her , cradling her back and pulling her deep into his embrace .

He spoke soothing words to calm her turbulent spirit .

He said , youre safe now .

No one can hurt you ? Hosie blinked , nestled in his arms , and tentatively responded , Thank you Howard let out a bitter smile .

If only she knew that he was the source of all her suffering Chapter 333 He picked her up in a sideways carry .

Lets go back he said As he turned to face the other way , he spotted three people standing a little distance away , shoulder to shoulder , each wearing different expressions .

Out of all of them , the one most shocked was Sienna .

Despite the inkling of suspicion shed had moments ago , she never expected that her wild guesses would turn out to be true .

Watching Howard anxiously hold Rosie , Siennas mind was a swirling mass of question marks it begin ! Wi She wondered , How did they develop this kind of relationship ? When did it What has sparked it ! And how far has it progressed ! Josiah frowned , his eyes heavy with concern , occasionally glancing over at Yvette , who seemed equally troubled .

Yvette watched coldly , a smirk playing on her lips , as if she were observing a show unrelated to her .

Passing by them , Howard shot them a quick glance and said quietly , Lets talk later .

He had to take care of Rosie now and didnt have time or patience to explain anything to them .

Back at the villa , a caretaker was helping Rosie bathe in the bathroom .

The doctor had arrived and was waiting to treat her injuries , In the living room , Josiah and Yvette sat facing each other in silence , neither of them speaking .

In another room , Josiah was talking to Sienna .

Sienna , Howard said after a moment of silence , weighing his words .

I hope you can keep the mutter between me and Rosie a secret from Yvette for now Why ? Sienna frowned .

What do you n mean by that , Howard ? Rosies in an unhappy marriage ; shes already pitiful .

Dont bully her , okay ? Howards brow twitched slightly .

You think Im bullying Rosie ! You think Im playing games with her ! What else would I think ? Sienna replied without hesitation , pointing g outside .

She lowered her voice .

Before I even stepped into the Flynn family , I knew you and Yvette were a couple .

This was no secret in Jelacrity : Josiahs deep feelings for Yvette were the envy of women from ages seven to seventy in the city Howard , you cant ….

Thats all in the past , Howard shook his head gently , cutting her off , his gaze sharp yet calm .

Yvette and I have broken up Sienna was left speechless , her shock palpable .

She thought , Broke up ? Howard and Yvette broke up ? This revelation stunned her , leaving her momentarily at a loss for words .

In her eyes , they had been the perfect couple , absolutely unbreakable , yet here they were , broken up Yes .

Howard nodded , sensing her disbelief .

Weve broken up .

He wasnt a talkative person and rarely explained his personal matters to anyone .

The only reason be shared this much with Sienna was that she was one of Rosies few friends .

But that was all he could say .

He added simply , Im serious about Rosie .

Im not playing with her feelings , so you can rest easy Just then , the water in the bathroom stopped running .

Howard glanced toward the door .

Sienna , you should go out now .

The doctor needs to treat Rosies wounds .

Rose didnt s say anything .

Sienna opened her mouth , still dazed .

Okay , she said , getting up and heading outside .

7:09 AM Chapter 333 In the living room , Josiahs mind raced as he watched Yvette remain silent .

He debated whether he should say something .

Suddenly , Yvette stood up , looking at Josiah with a smile .

Tm a bit thirsty .

Im going to get something to drink .

Want anything ? I get it.

Josiah stood up .

No need .

Yvette replied as she walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge , pulling out a bottle of drink .

We have cappuccino ; is that okay ? Sure , Josiah said indifferently .

Great Yvette lifted the bottle to unscrew the cap but struggled .

Why wont this open ? I can help … Josiah reached out , ready to assist .

No ! Yvette barked suddenly , clutching his hand .

I can do it myself! She put all her strength into it , but the cap wouldnt budge , and she ended up breaking a nail inste instead Yvette Josiah froze , taking the bottle from her hands .

Josiah Yvette suddenly grasped his hand tightly , her eyes filled with pain .

Tm in so much pain … it really hurts …
