Mrs Jackson pulled the trigger, shooting Cade in the shoulder. He cried out loudly, the first time this woman was even hearing him do that, clasping his hand to the wound. Felix looked between him and his own mother — she didn't even hesitate to do this.
Is this how much survival meant to her?
... But in a sudden moment, Felix's eyes widened, shouting as he sprinted towards his mother, "Watch out!"
Mrs Jackson turned late to see that gallant bodyguard that was just at the door a moment ago, now inches from her... And the most devastating part of it was his blow was coming to crash into her face...
But the moment that same blow would land, it wasn't on her. Instead, it was on Felix's back who had instantly hugged her and turned himself in the way of the punch.
He dropped to his knee in the next second, his hand slipping off Mrs Jackson's shoulder... And he went unconscious.
