The sounds of car horns woke Clint as he reluctantly pried his dark eyes open. He looked around and realized he was in the middle
of a traffic jam.
Clint did not pay much attention to it since traffic jams weremon in the big cities of the South Territory due to the large
population and numerous cars.
Just as he was about to go back to sleep, something caught his attention from the corner of his eye.
Something seemed to be moving.
Clint opened his eyes again and looked in that direction.
A pair of eyes were watching him from inside a dark alley. Almost as if driven by an unseen force, Clint got out of the car. He

In the alley, he found a woman covered in wounds lying there with disheveled hair. She was barely conscious. Clint crouched down
to check on her.
"You... Why is it you?" Clint said, shocked to see that the person was none other than Rainie, someone he had encountered before.
He had not expected to see her here and quickly called Gabriel to help get her into the car.
Using his true energy, Clint performed a thorough examination and discovered that in addition to her visible wounds, many of her
bones were also injured.
"Quick! To the hospital," Clint said frantically.
"But this—" Gabriel hesitated. Given the severe traffic jam, it seemed impossible that they would be able to reach the hospital
quickly.
At that moment, Clint made a phone call. "Hello, yes, it's me. Uh-huh, bring my dad's helicopter! I'm at..." After giving the address,
Clint hung up.
"Sir, ivefor asking, but who exactly is this?" Gabriel asked when he saw Clint sweating profusely. Having served the Melton
family for so long, it was the first the had seen Clint so anxious, even going so far as to request a helicopter, which was highly
unusual.
'Why is she here... What exactly happened to her?' Clint could not help but wonder. Despite his doubts, the immediate priority was
to save her.
Seeing this woman about to die in front of him stirred up feelings of guilt and responsibility. Did she end up like this because he had
driven her away? If that were the case, he was a bastard.

No, he had to save her. Unlike Nash, who was a skilled healer, Clint could not use his true energy to heal Rainie. All he could do
now was wait.
After an unknown amount of time, Rainie opened her eyes. She looked around in confusion. The unfamiliar room made her feel
scared.
"W-Where is this..."
"You're awake."
Next to her, Clint was rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"You... It's you... Where am I?"
Rainie was overwhelmed with gratitude. She nodded, her eyes welling up with tears. She said softly, "Thank you."
