The last vestiges of her rationality warned her that these men meant her harm.
She frowned, slurring slightly, "Outta my way. I'm going home." The group of thugs exchanged leering glances and closed in, one of them reaching out to grab her.
Before his hand could reach her, another hand intervened, encircling Linsey's waist protectively.
The newcomer's face was grim as he demanded, "What do you think you're doing?" Startled, the thugs looked up to see a tall, imposing man holding the clearly inebriated Linsey securely in his arms.
His presence exuded an air of authority, momentarily intimidating them.

Besides, the man was outnumbered. What did they have to fear? Emboldened, one of the thugs sneered, "We saw her first. Who the hell are you to interfere?" Collin's expression darkened further when he heard his words. Without a moment's hesitation, he lashed out with his leg, sending one of the thugs flying.
The thug was propelled backward, landing with a thud on the ground.
The remaining thugs froze, staring at Collin in stunned disbelief.
Collin's eyes narrowed as he let out a chilling laugh. "I'm her husband. If you value your well-being, I suggest you disappear." The thugs hadn't anticipated that Linsey was married. Combined with Collin's formidable presence, they decided against further confrontation and slunk away.
Witnessing their hasty retreat, Collin lowered his gaze to the woman in his arms, her cheeks flushed from the alcohol.
"Linsey," he murmured softly.

Collin's face hardened with anger. Fortunately, he had sent a car in advance to wait for her, planning to pick her up the moment she emerged.

He couldn't resist pinching her chin, his voice sharp with displeasure. "Linsey, what did you promise me? You still went ahead and drank? Do you realize you were almost in serious trouble just now? If I hadn't arrived in time, you..." He couldn't bear to contemplate the potential consequences.
Just moments ago, he had been in the car and spotted Linsey stumbling out, her face flushed, from a distance.
One glance was all it took to confirm his suspicions; she was undeniably drunk.
He recalled the last tshe had indulged in alcohol; she had completely blacked out the following day.

That was why he was currently standing beside her, his legs strong and steady, without the assistance of his wheelchair.
Had Linsey been sober, she would have been utterly astonished by the sight of him standing tall, his legs fully healed.
Linsey's eyes fluttered open, her gaze hazy with intoxication She hadn't quite grasped/what Collin had said, so she simply stared up at his face for a moment.
Collin faltered, a warmth creeping up his neck under her intense scrutiny.
Just as he was about to speak, she reached up and gently cupped his face in her hands.
"You're so handsome," she murmured, a dreamy sigh escaping her lips.
Collin was taken aback. He hadn't expected such a bold statement from the typically shy Linsey.
It was a simple compliment, devoid of any elaborate flattery, yet it brought a smile to his face.
