"Watch out!" I screamed in horror.
However, Christian was already expecting this. He quickly reached out and covered my eyes, and the next moment I heard a gunshot.
I felt my face pale. I couldn't see what happened, but my only comfort was that Christian's hand was still covering my eyes.
A brief moment later, I heard Christian's voice.
"I'm going to keep your eyes covered as I carry you out of the room. Is that okay?"
"Yes, of course. Are you okay, Christian? Did you get hurt?" I asked, worried that he may have gotten shot.
"Don't worry. I'm okay," he gently replied, keeping his hands over my eyes.
The next moment, I felt him lift me off the bed along with the blanket. By the time he uncovered my eyes, we were already in the hallway.
I looked up at him, checking to see if he was injured in any way, but thankfully, he seemed fine.
"Christian--"
Suddenly, a wave of heat spread throughout my body, striking me like a bolt of lightning.
"Leslie? What's wrong?"
