NovelEnglishChapter 184 Chapter 184 "Alright, I'll get you free now." Clyde's eyes were rimmed red, his hands slightly shaking - a far cry from the tough guy who was throwing punches just moments ago. But in the next second, a roar of anger cfrom behind him.
The guy he had knocked to the ground earlier got up, sneaked past the bodyguard unnoticed, and charged at us with a shovel in hand. "Clyde, watch out!" | I tried to stand up, but it was too late. Clyde wrappedin his arms, shielding me.
I heard a loud bang.
The sound of the shovel colliding with a head echoed, and I saw Clyde's eyes fill with blood.

"Son of a gun, dared to mess with me, damn it!" The man kept yelling from behind as the bodyguard subdued him, but I couldn't hear anything. All I could do was watch as Clyde slowly closed his eyes.
The sound of police sirens filled the air, and I finally managed to shout, "Over here, we need help!" The police quickly loaded Clyde andinto the car and rushed us to the hospital.
Along the way, the officer askedquestions, but I could barely respond, my eyes fixed on unconscious Clyde.

"Do you know who hired them?" "Talbot, I heard them mention Mr. Crawford." "Officer, please, can you go faster? He's got a serious head injury, he..." Tears blurred my vision, and I felt like I was talking nonsense.

He patted my shoulder, "Melanie, right? You should get checked out, and then we can talk." "Don't worry, we've got the best doctors here. Clyde will be alright." His voice was steady, instilling a sense of trust. I found myself nodding again and followed the nurse to get examined.

Henson cback, accompanied by two other officers.
"Melanie, I was aware of your family situation a few years ago. Clyde has been investigating since then." "He is stubborn. If he hadn't persisted..." Henson tolda completely different story.
When my father had trouble, Clyde had just returned to the Patterson! family, and at that tHenson wasn't yet a deputy chief. There was a major case back then; a criminal responsible for three deaths eventually fled to the Patterson Group headquarters and took Henson's son, who had just joined the Patterson Group, as a hostage.
It was Clyde who stepped forward, exchanged himself for Henson's son, and helped the police subdue the criminal. That's how our families got connected. "He always insisted there was
