Chapter 400

Amidst the chaos downstairs, Bryan protected Sidney inside the car, while two men outside engaged in a fistfight.

Winnie hurriedly ran downstairs.

While Rock took a punch, he caught a glimpse of a graceful figure from the corner of his eye. His gaze turned cold, and he quickly whispered in Lawrence's ear, "You were photographed hugging a girl intimately at the cinema. Winnie must have felt heartbroken seeing those photos, right?"

Lawrence froze. With a surge of animosity, he stared at the man before him and asked, "Did you give them to her?"

"Heh." Rock let out an inaudible chuckle.

Lawrence's eyes blazed with fury as he unleashed a flurry of punches. Meanwhile, Rock lay flat, his arms slack, unable to defend himself, only able to emit a deep grunt.

"Rock?" Winnie rushed over and was startled to see Rock's mouth covered in blood from the beating. Lawrence was straddling him, his demeanor resembling a raging lion venting its anger.

"Lawrence, stop! Are you insane? Why are you hitting him?" Winnie felt that if they continued, someone would end up dead. She couldn't understand why Lawrence had to brutally assault Rock like this. Winnie couldn't hide her anger at the scene Lawrence was causing at her doorstep. She rushed over, attempting to pull Rock away, who couldn't fight back anymore. "That's enough!"

"Lawrence, stop it." She tried to grab him.

"So, you're insulting and hitting me for another man again?" Lawrence's eyes reddened as he lifted his head. This scene was reminiscent of three years ago when she hit him because of Daniel.

"What's the matter? Do you feel sorry for him?" his eyes turned as cold as ice.

"You're unreasonable." Winnie clenched her lips tightly. "He came to see me. This is my doorstep. Who gave you the right to beat someone here?"

"Because he deserved it! He took those photos to show you. He was provoking me just now," Lawrence angrily shouted.

Winnie paused.

Rock looked at them, his expression unreadable. He coughed up blood and asked, "What photos? I was beaten by you as soon as I arrived. It seems that you can't tolerate Winnie having any opposite-sex friends. It's outrageous."

Lawrence immediately delivered another punch to his chin. Rock spat out the blood and chuckled. "I've never seen a scheming bitch among men before. This is new."

"Lawrence..." Winnie desperately dragged Rock, her heart still trembling. She closed her eyes, feeling incomprehensible. "Those photos were given to me by Darcy, did you know? What does it have to do with Rock?"

Her heart felt heavy with disappointment and she angrily took out her phone and threw it at him, her tone sharp. "The sender is Darcy, I'm not blind. Rock, he's not like you. At the very least, he wouldn't intentionally hurt me. You seduced your ex-wife and found a new lover, and your ex-girlfriend is using photos to provoke me! Have you ever considered my feelings? Do you know how much pain I'm in? It's evident that you don't. Also, what is this nonsense where it's fine for you to date, but you don't allow me to have someone of the opposite sex by my side. Why? On what grounds?"

Her tears shimmered under the moonlight, each drop like a dagger, piercing into his heart. These words favoring Rock undoubtedly drove him crazy, infuriating him even more. He glanced at the sender of the message on the phone and stared at Rock, his thoughts circling around the implications of the message and the situation with Rock.

Lawrence coldly laughed. "Yes, Rock is flawless. I'll only hurt you, not him. Winnie, you're so foolish. It is possible that Rock sent these photos to Darcy." He was enraged, gritting his teeth, and spoke without restraint. "That's right, three years ago, you two even shared a bathtub. These past few nights, he must've personally comforted you, right? No wonder you refuse to reconcile with me, don't want to see me. You've already found him to be your next lover, right? With a new man, you have the confidence."

How venomous could he be scolding her and Rock so mercilessly. Winnie was hurt by his coarse and foul words, unable to breathe. Her head throbbed, her eyes filled with tears and she struggled to hold them back from falling.

In a fit of anger, she yelled uncontrollably, "Yes, I won't reconcile because I'm considering a new lover. Why should I reconcile with a jerk like you? Forget about it. Stop humiliating me. From now on, besides being the father of my child, we have no other relationship. Is that clear, Lawrence? You can leave."

Lawrence was on the verge of exploding, but his body was bone-chillingly cold. Thoughts echoed through his mind. He was done with Winnie's one-sidedness. She was protecting that wild man's image, truly stabbing at his heart. The moonlight coldly spilled down, and his eyes glinted with sadness, making it hard for him to breathe.

With a fierce glance at Rock, he sneered coldly, "Devious scumbag, I won't let you off!" His handmade leather shoes were stained with blood as he walked on the ground, his presence intimidating. It wasn't until he got into the car that Sidney's voice calling for "Mommy" faded away.

Winnie's tense expression finally relaxed, but her heart was aching. She turned around and squatted down to help Rock, asking, "Are you all right? Why did you fight with him?"

Rock shook his head helplessly. "Perhaps Lawrence didn't like me getting close to you, and that's why I became a victim of his unfounded wrath."

"I'm sorry, were you here to see me today?"

Rock paused for a moment and smiled. "Yes, I didn't want to disturb you when you were feeling down and avoiding everyone. I just happened to come today to check on you. I'm also looking for Oscar, but of course, Lawrence's influence is greater."

"Thank you for your concern, Rock." Winnie couldn't smile when she mentioned her son. She was feeling low, and she said, "Let's go upstairs. I'll help you treat your wounds."

Rock nodded, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth. He gently held onto her and said affectionately, "Winnie, you said you wouldn't reconcile with him earlier. Were those words just said in anger or are they true?"

Winnie hadn't calmed down yet. When she thought of those photos and Lawrence's indifference toward Oscar, she couldn't help but feel extremely sad.

She nodded firmly.

Rock's gaze was tender. "It's good that you've come to your senses. There have been too many obstacles between you and him. I will always be by your side."

Winnie didn't know how to respond. All she could do was force a bitter smile and say, "Rock, I'm not worth it."

"Whether you're worth it or not, it's for me to decide." Rock clenched his fist, squinting his eyes. He had been waiting for three years, and he would definitely get Winnie. And revenge against Lawrence would be incredibly satisfying!

The car sped along the highway.

Sidney took cotton swabs and iodine from the medical kit inside the car. The little boy leaned toward Lawrence, cold yet full of concern. "Don't move, Daddy, let me treat your wounds."

The man's fists were covered in blood, and there were traces of it on his temples as well.

Sidney muttered to himself as he treated his father's wounds, 'Mommy hadn't noticed because she was too upset and angry, but Daddy was more seriously injured than that Rock!'

Lawrence closed his eyes, remaining silent, concealing his emotions from others.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and Sidney took it out for him. The caller ID showed "Hospital." He nudged his father and handed him the phone. "Daddy, it seems to be Grandma's doctor calling."

Lawrence opened his eyes and quickly answered, "Dr. Moore?"

Dr. Moore let out a soft sigh and reported, "Madam Rodriguez is having a nosebleed. Her symptoms appeared much faster than I expected."

A thought in Lawrence's mind jumped, and he lifted his long leg, immediately telling Bryan to stop the car-
