In the Lap of Luxury
Chapter 507 She Took the Blow for Him

Lydia froze, unable to react.

She helplessly watched as the stick came toward her.

Just as it was about to hit her, a figure came out of nowhere and kicked Troy. The impact was so strong that Troy stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Caleb..."

Lydia stared blankly at Caleb. Her eyes were full of disbelief.

Caleb quickly walked up to her, took her hand, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Lydia shook her head slowly.

Seeing that Lydia wasn't hurt, Caleb heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank God you're fine!"

With his back turned, Caleb didn't notice that Troy had silently stood up from the ground. He picked up the stick and swung it hard toward Caleb.

"Watch out!"

Lydia pushed Caleb away and took the blow for him.

A large thud rang through the room. The stick had struck Lydia right on the head. Her vision immediately went dark, and she collapsed. "Lydia!" Caleb shouted.

He quickly stepped forward to catch her. He got so angry that he kicked Troy fiercely, throwing him aside without any sign of mercy.

Caleb didn't go easy on him. He kicked Troy repeatedly, using up all his strength on almost every kick.

Troy couldn't take it anymore, so he cried out for help. But Caleb seemed not to hear his pleas and continued to teach him a lesson.

It wasn't until Troy wasn't able to hold on anymore and fell to the ground that Caleb stopped kicking him.

"Lydia, are you okay?"

Caleb was extremely worried about her. Suddenly, he felt a warm sensation on his palm. Only then did he realize that Lydia had a wound on the back of her head and that blood was gushing out of it. Lydia felt so dizzy that she started seeing stars. She was in a daze, and everything seemed to double in her eyes. With no strength left in her, she let go of her hand and fell into darkness. "Troy!"

Several of Troy's men rushed over after hearing the commotion and saw him on the ground.

"You'll pay for hurting Troy!"

Caleb's eyes turned red. He kept calling out Lydia's name, but she showed no response at all.

Caleb panicked. He had never been this afraid before.

"Get lost!" he roared at the group of men.

Several of them exchanged glances. They didn't take Caleb seriously. They thought that taking Caleb down would be a piece of cake, simply because he was alone. He was no match for them. The group of men quickly cornered him and started to attack him.

Caleb clenched his fists and struck at the group at the speed of lightning. All his punches were clean and accurate, and he knocked most of them to the ground in just a few moves.

Not long after, a series of cries were heard across the room.

Without hesitating, Caleb quickly moved to carry Lydia out. He ran toward the door. This time, no one dared to stop him.

Grace and the rest hurried over. When they got out of the car, they saw Caleb coming out with Lydia in his arms.

"Caleb!"

Grace's voice filled Caleb with hope, and his eyes brightened slightly. "Gracie, save her. Quick!"

"Let's take her to the hospital."

Grace accompanied Caleb to send Lydia to the hospital, while Xander stayed and took care of the rest. He had brought a group of men with him and immediately arrested Troy and the others.
