Daniel Peacock was knocked down by William Griffith, lying on the ground and leaning against the wall. He couldn't help laughing as he saw William and Cherish embracing.
"Haha, hahaha..." His laughter contained a few unsettling elements.
Cherish clung tightly to William, fearfully looking at Daniel. Just moments ago, he had almost forced himself on her!
William ignored Daniel's deranged laughter, bending down to scoop Cherish up into his arms. The protective manner in which he held her spoke volumes about his care for her.
Cherish hugged William's neck tightly, not daring to let go.
"William Griffith!" Suddenly, Daniel called out, addressing William by his full name.
William stopped in his tracks but did not turn around, "What, do you think your injuries aren't severe enough?"
