บท 220: Different reason

"No!!!" Elle's scream rang in the darkness as she watched Sebastian get stabbed in the neck with the syringe. 

And before she knew it, she was rushing towards her husband, totally forgetting about the threat to her safety. Her mind had completely disregarded her own life, only wanting to get to Sebastian as fast as she could. She pushed the stranger out of her way. Her strength did not do much, but the man had his eyes widening at her fearless action. 

"Sebastian!" Elle caught Sebastian as his body became limp. "Sebastian!" She slowly slid down to the ground as her smaller body could not handle his large and heavy one.

Kneeling on the ground, Elle held him protectively against her as her arms wrapped around him. He was panting and groaning even as he rested his head on her shoulder. And she could feel him suddenly burning up. The heat coming from him was so extreme that she could even feel it radiating through his clothes.
