RedNovelChapter 505: Brenna acknowledged his words with a nod, removing her helmet with the easy grace of a champion.
Just then, Rosie hurried over, visibly flustered. “Ethan! Jade's injuries are severe. She has facial lacerations that may scar permanently. You need to check on her now!" Ethan turned to her coldly. "Why should I care about her?" Rosie blinked in confusion. "But I thought you and Miss Hewitt were close. She has confessed her feelings to you several times..." She then looked at Brenna and explained, "Brenna, don't misunderstand. Ethan and Miss Hewitt have a long history. Their bond isn't just about her helping him once. They used to be really close."

Jade's injuries painted a stark tableau-ligament strains mapping her limbs, facial abrasions stretching from cheekbone to jawline, and violent purpling around her orbital bones. She looked pitiful.
"Ethan, you do care aboutafter all," Jade said, brushing off her m injuries with a wave. She believed she would bounce back in a week.
Her radiant smile at Ethan's presence dimmed the moment Brenna stepped into view. Her expression morphed into Methal hostility. "What are you doing here?"
Instinctively, Jade reached for a gun, only to remember that in Vanland, civilians were prohibited from N.C carrying firearms. Glaring at Brenna, she seethed, convinced that Brenna had cto settle the score.
