Capítulo 223: Chapter 94 - Mariano (3)

I leave them be and go back to my wife who's now pacing the living room, wringing her hands. When she sees me, she rushes forward, grabbing my hands. "How is he?"

"Shh…" I sit on the arm of the chair and pull her against my chest, rocking her. "It's not your fault. He was protecting you." And I owe him big for what he's done. I'll forever be grateful to him. 

'So you better pull through, you fucking idiot. Don't you dare die.'

Riri shakes her head, sobbing against me. "He didn't hesitate, Yan. Jax put himself in front of me with guns pointing at him. We can't let him die."
