Chapter 702: Ms. Joanna, are you alright?

She glanced past him, pretending to look for someone. Upon seeing Nina ahead, she quickened her pace towards her, as if seeing a savior.

Perhaps she was too hurried, she didn't notice the stone under her foot and slipped...

Just as Joanna was about to fall to the ground, Maddox quickly stepped forward to hold her.

Due to momentum, Joanna's head bumped into his chest again.

Maddox instinctively held her waist.

Under normal circumstances, he should have let go after Joanna had steadied herself.

But at the instant of releasing her, he felt somewhat reluctant to do so.

The young girl's soft and fragrant body leaned against him, sending sweet scents straight into his nostrils.

He didn't dare exert too much force when holding her, fearing that her delicate waist might break.

She was so petite.

Such a small figure in his arms, reaching just above his chest.

His one arm could completely wrap her up in his embrace.
