To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 1373 Gilbert and Marigold (48)

Gilbert's heart almost stopped as Marigold groaned in pain.

"You-" Gilbert did not even know what to say. At that moment, he felt furious and was also in indescribable pain. However, he was feeling more worried. He held Marigold tightly, afraid she would slip away from his arms.

Marigold could sense his nervousness as well. With a slight embarrassment, she said, "I'm fine. It just grazed me a little."

Yes, she was grazed by the bullet. Perhaps it was too dark, but the person who fired the shot missed.

Gilbert let out a sigh of relief when he heard that. What came after was rage. "Who asked you to take a bullet for me? Do you not want to live anymore?"

If the shooter didn't have a bad aim, Gilbert didn't even dare to think if Marigold could live or not.

"I didn't think that much." At that time, she was only thinking of not letting Gilbert get shot. She truly didn't consider too much about whether she would live or die. Gilbert looked at her. He could not see her expression clearly in the night, but he still felt touched. He immediately picked her up and continued hiding. "I'm fine. Put me down. I can walk by myself..."

"Shut up!" Gilbert was very pissed at that moment. However, it was not the time to reprimand Marigold. No matter what, he had to first confirm that they were safe.

Jenny's men came right in time. Alec was with Jenny, so both of them rushed over together. The gunmen were subdued very quickly. A few of them died, but a few were caught. Jenny walked to them and saw Gilbert hugging Marigold. She was a little worried. "Did you get hurt?"

She had already called for an ambulance when she came, so it should arrive soon.

"I'm fine-"

"She's injured." Gilbert cut Marigold off and ignored what she wanted to say.

Marigold was speechless. She could only look at Jenny helplessly, hoping Jenny could talk some sense into Gilbert or at least make him put her down. It was very embarrassing to be carried like that. However, Jenny didn't have the intention to help her at all. She felt it was quite good for Gilbert to carry Marigold in his arms. That was enough to prove that he cared about Marigold.

Soon, the ambulance arrived. Gilbert then carried Marigold to the ambulance.

Before they got in, he looked at the few people who were caught. "I want to know who's behind this."

"Don't worry, Gilbert. Leave it to me." Jenny's gaze turned cold as she looked at those few people. How dare they attack Gilbert! They were simply looking down at her.

Gilbert didn't need the Walters' help, but everybody in Bardoff City knew Jenny and Gilbert's relationship. Attacking Gilbert meant that they were going against her and the Water family.

"I want to take care of it myself. You just have to help me replace out who's behind it." Gilbert knew Jenny would help him, but he did not want that. He wanted to take care of his own business himself. Besides, he actually could already figure out parts of it.

In fact, there were not that many people who would attack him.

It was the Bradshaw family...

Gilbert sneered in secret. Were they preparing to get rid of him because they saw he was not planning to return? What an unusual tactic they had taken.

Gilbert brought Marigold into the ambulance and left. Jenny and Alec stayed behind to handle the rest of the matter.

Marigold sat on the stretcher in the ambulance while the doctor treated the injury on her arm. She was not severely injured, but Gilbert looked extremely sullen when he saw Marigold bleeding.

"Alright. Keep your arm away from water for a few days and rest," the doctor instructed. There was no need for her to go to the hospital at all.

When they got to the hospital, Gilbert insisted on letting Marigold have a comprehensive health checkup. Marigold was helpless, but she could only do as he said. She could tell that Gilbert was very upset. She felt it was better for her to just go along with him at a moment like this.
