CHAPTER 2979

"It's in the city. Do you want to come?' chirped Winson over the phone. "I'll wait for you here!"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Gwen eventually agreed. She did want to see the painting Winson

mentioned.

Theo never told her he painted her before, but...she and Luna did not know Theo when they were in

high school. Maybe Theo did paint her before, but she did not know for sure.

She believed Winson could tell it was her because they studied in high school together. Thus, she

eventually agreed to go with a stomach full of curiosity. "Okay. Share the location with me. I'll go over

now."

After refreshing herself, she put on a jacket and went out. When she was downstairs, she saw the man

waiting outside of her building again.

Same as before, he dressed entirely in black with a cap and mask covering his face.

His presence reminded Gwen about what Luna told her last night.

"Joshua sent him to keep you safe. His face is covered because he doesn't want to scare anyone with

his disfigured face. Joshua asked me to pass the message to you, asking you not to get near him or

attempt to expose his face. That'll hurt him and his feelings."

Gwen took a deep breath, decided against her initial wish to greet him, and instead walked away.

The man continued to follow behind her while keeping a safe distance.

With him around, Gwen felt safe.

Soon, she arrived at the location Winson shared with her.

"Gwen!" From afar, Winson waved his hand at Gwen passionately. "Over here!"

Gwen smiled and walked toward Winson. Just as she was at a certain distance, however, a car sped

out of nowhere.

"Be careful!" shouted Winson, alerting Gwen of the impending danger.

All of a sudden, Gwen felt herself being pulled and wrapped in a man's arms as they rolled to the

roadside.

"Gwen, are you alright?!" shouted Winson worriedly.

It was only then Gwen realized what happened. As her mind slowly functioned once more, she realized This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

that the man dressed in black was hugging her as they lay beside the road. To protect her, his back

knocked on the corner of the stone divider on the road.

Gwen frowned and quickly got away from him. Her eyebrows furrowed as she asked, "Are you alright?"

The man looked at Gwen once and quickly looked away to avoid further eye contact with Gwen. After a

while, he shook his head quietly.

Letting go of Gwen's head, he got onto his feet from the ground.

"Gwen." At that moment, Winson hurried over from a far distance and helped Gwen to get up on her

feet. "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Gwen shook her head and had her eyes fixated on the man slightly crouching back. 'He's hurt!'

"The light was red. Where did that car come from?” Winson shook his head and pretended to be

surprised. "I was going to pull you, but this man here acted faster than me..."

After that, he stood in front of Gwen, blocking Gwen from looking at the man. "Thank you so much, sir.

Thank you for saving her! If anything were to happen to her, I'd be worried sick."

Despite his words, however, Winson was, in fact, cursing the man mentally. He had arranged this

accident so he could be the hero to save Gwen, yet this random man dressed in all black stole the

chance from him!

"You..." Gwen frowned and looked at the man bypassing Winson. "Do you need to go to the hospital?"
