Chapter 374
Dwight quickly released her wrists and took a couple of steps back , putting some space between them .
Halsey felt a warm sensation in her nose and reached up to touch it . When she looked at her fingers , they were covered in blood .
“ Ah ! I’m bleeding , ” she cried out , panic rising in her voice
Dwight glanced at her and saw the blood . He pulled out two issues and handed them to her . “ Tilt your head back . It’ll stop soon . ”
Halsey took the tissues and tilted her head , still confused . Why am I bleeding ? ”
Dwight didn’t answer . He turned and opened the door , stepping out .
The cold wind hit him immediately , freezing his face . It was sharp and biting , but it also helped clear away the soft , sweet scent of the girl he had just left behind .
Just then , Halsey caught up to him , having stopped the bleeding from her nose . “ Wait up ! Why do you have so many scars ? ”
Dwight didn’t slow his pace , continuing on with long , determined strides .
But Halsey was relentless , chattering away beside him . “ Are these from fighting with people ? You shouldn’t fight anymore . Focus on your studies . Getting knowledge is the best way forward . ”
Dwight didn’t react , treating her as if she were invisible .
Up ahead , a group of people approached . It was Alina, accompanied by a few other girls .
Alina , her face flushed with anger , called out , “ Halsey , stop right there ! I’ve got reinforcements . Are you scared now ? ”
Halsey was surprised Alina had the audacity to come here . She immediately wanted to step forward . “ I’m not scared- ”
But before she could finish , Dwight stepped in front of her , blocking her path .
His tall , lean body stood in front of Halsey , and he stared coldly at Alina .
Alina hesitated , her anger faltering for a moment . The truth was , she really had feelings for Dwight . She had turned down many rich young men because her heart had been set on him from the start .
“ Dwight , I- “ she spoke .
Dwight parted his lips slightly , uttering a single , icy word “ Leave . ”
He told her to leave .
Alina’s face drained of color as disappointment , sadness , and humiliation all hit her at once . Her hands clenched into fists . “ Dwight , I’m in love with you ! I’ve set aside my pride and dignity , pursuing you for so long . How could you tell me to leave ? How could you be so heartless ? ”
Dwight simply looked at her , his tone indifferent . “ I’m not interested in you . ”
The public rejection made Alina’s face turn even paler , and her voice cracked . “ You’re not ? Then who are your interested in ? Is it her ? ” She pointed at Halsey behind him ‘ Do you have feelings for Halsey ? ”
Dwight remained silent .

But to a woman , silence alivays felt like a confirmation . Alina’s emotions began to ball over .
“ Do you really have feelings for her ? You’re protecting her you’ve never protected me like this ! What does the have that I don’t ? Why her ? ”
Dwight’s patience was gone . “ Are you going to leave or not ?
Alina was truly hurt now . She let out a bitter laugh .
“ Do you really think you’re something special ? You’re just drug dealer’s son , burdened by your mom and sister ! And what do you do when you’re not in school ? Everyone else may not know , but I do . You work on construction sites , taking on multiple jobs . You’re just a broke guy !!
Halsey , her fists clenched , stepped forward . “ Alina , why do you like to say nasty things about other people ? ” Alina scanned Halsey from head to toe before her gaze landed on the crystal hairpin In Halsey’s hair . “ Halsey , that little hairpin of yours is Chanel’s new release . It must cost thousands , right ? ”
