Chapter 939 The Princess, the Prince, and the Knight

With the swelling worsening, Jamie was worried that there might be side effects in the future. So, helet her down and went to the first-aid room in an attempt to locate any suitable medication.Meanwhile, Narissa was riding a motorcycle by herself in the jungle. Although she was alreadyaccelerating, the speedometer kept rising without her noticing.

At that moment, what she saw was not the road, the trees, or the river. What occupied her mind wasthe scene between Jamie and Alicia.

It was then that a deer suddenly ran out to the road. Not being able to avoid it in time, she couldonly steer out of the way.

Although the deer managed to cross the road, her motorcycle skidded for quite a distance,stopping when it crashed into a tree in the end.

Fortunately, the expensive helmet and protective suit soaked up most of the impact, but a big partof her right leg's skin was grated. The instant the motorcycle fell, it crushed her calves as well.

Even if Narissa was used to the sensation of pain, her face still went pale, and her lips turned violetfrom all the resisting. Enduring the pain, she fished out her phone and dialed Elise's number.“Narissa? What's up?”

The moment her voice rang, Narissa, who had never shed a tear from being injured, bawled outuncontrollably. “I'm sorry, but I didn't know who else to call. I crashed on the road, and I don’t wantmy family to know. The only friend I can trust is you...”

Never seeing this side of her before, Elise immediately ran downstairs with her phone in hand.“Rissa, don't panic. Send your location to me. I'll be there as fast as I can. Don't panic!”

In actuality, she was in such a hurry that she forgot “Anastasia’ would never address Narissa as“Rissa’. Yet, in the heat of the moment, both of them paid no heed to such details.

After receiving her location, she immediately found Alexander to accompany her. “Darling, Rissa ishurt. Come with me now!"

“Keep your cool.” He held her hand while inquiring about the situation, “Is it serious?”

“I heard her sobbing quite hard, so she must've sustained some injury!” She started to breatheheavier.

Patting the back of her hand, he comforted her by saying, “Don’t worry. Narissa isn't that fragile.”“Okay.” She nodded. “Let's go.”

“Wait.” Suddenly, he took his phone and called someone.

At first, Elise thought he was calling an ambulance before changing her thoughts upon hearing hiswords. “I'm helping you out this time. Don't say we never did. Narissa got into an accident at IsunRing Road. This is your last chance. Use it wisely.” He then hung up.

"Did you call Jamie?” She realized whom he called.

“If 1 don't give him a push, these two would never be together,” stated Alexander calmly.

"You're right.” She nodded in agreement. “I was so caught up that I forgot about this.”

“It's fine. I'm here, aren't I?" He caressed her hair dotingly. “Sit tight. Even though I called him, westill have to go over and take a look.”

"Of course.” With Alexander by her side, she did not need to put up such a strong facade

Back at the sports center, Jamie averted his gaze between the ointment in his hand and the breakroom that was far away. After a split second of hesitation, he pocketed the ointment and ran out.He drove like a madman with all the animals scampering out of the way. In a few short minutes, hehad arrived at the start of the ring road, so he slowed down to search for where the crash mighthave taken place.

Yet, how could he be faster than the sly Gale?

When he found the smoke rising from not far away, he drove at max speed to clear the final corneronly to replace that Gale was faster than him, for he had located Narissa first.

Seeing Gale carry her into his car, Jamie did not dare to approach them as he let go of both feet,letting the car stall. How perfect they look. Just like the princess and her prince. They do seem likethe perfect couple. It looks like the knight that I am is useless.

A tear rolled down his cheek at that point as he wiped it away, accompanied by a bitter smile. It wasas if he was accepting reality. Yet, no human could ever control their emotions perfectly.

If only I could have met Narissa a little earlier... I am always so unreliable. When she needed love, Irealized it way too late. When she needed someone to protect her, I came too late. Once late,always too late. It's as if everything is preordained.

Bzzz... Bzzz...

The phone in his pocket vibrated as Jamie watched Gale's car drive away while he placed the phoneto his ear absent-mindedly.

“It's me. Did you manage to replace any medicine?” It was Alicia.

“I did, but it seems like I was too slow.”

Even he did not know whether he was referring to the ointment or Narissa.

“You're not slow. I'll wait for you.” She was as understanding as always.

Breathing out, Jamie snapped back to reality in the end. “I'll return now.”

On the way back, he phoned Alexander to tell them that they did not need to drop by anymore.Elise, who hung up, was confused by his words. “He said that we didn't have to go and thatsomeone is taking care of Narissa.”

“I think it's Gale,” Alexander replied instantly. “Hasn't he been trying to court her profusely?”Although the thought of Narissa being out of danger relieved her, Elise still considered the wholesituation a bit of a loss. “What a shame. It was such a perfect opportunity.”

On one side, Narissa was her best friend. On the other hand, Jamie was one of her most trustedfriends. If they could be together, then she would not have to worry about any of them being hurt.“You don't have to be so pessimistic. Good things don't happen overnight. Perhaps things mightturn around. What if they still have a chance?” Alexander had a bright outlook on the situation.

"I sure hope so. These two sure know how to make me worry!”

In the meantime, Jamie returned to the break room lifelessly. He acted like a living zombie as hepropped up Alicia's leg mechanically and applied the ointment attentively. After everything wasdone, he patiently put on her shoe for her.

Throughout the whole process, she had her gaze fixed on him. When the treatment was done, hehelped her up before she tiptoed and gave him a quick peck on the lips, blushing intensely. “Thankyou."

This stunned Jamie, yet he thought afterward that people abroad tend to act more freely in regardto expressing their gratitude through skinship, so he did not treat it as anything else. Yet, he hadforgotten that Alicia practically lived on Lisbon Street.

In her mind, the kiss sealed their relationship.

In the parking lot of Hotel Wegas, Rylantha Abbott and Clara Hissinger sat in the backseats of a van.One had a mature and domineering aura while the other was seductive and promiscuous; both hadtheir charms.

“Everything is in accordance. You'd better not screw it up again!”
