Predestined Bride

“What?” hearing those words, Summer was almost panicked, “I can’t!”

Although she was disgusted with this man, she was afraid to let him die in her apartment. The police might have a few questions and furthermore, her husband might not be too happy with if his cousin’s dead body ended up in her apartment.

She had no idea why “Douglas” could make such a life-threatening thing sound so easy, but she had no choice now.

Leonardo’s eyebrow cocked, “Or would you prefer to be buried with me here?”

It was still an indifferent tone, but there was an unquestionable firmness in it.

With a paled face, Summer went to get the things.

She felt that from the moment she married into the Emerson family, her life had been collapsed beyond repair. Could it get any worse thought Summer?

Summer had tried her best to maintain calm, but she couldn’t keep her hands from shaking.

She used a blade to peel off the fresh edge of his wound while paying attention to the condition of “Douglas”.

She found that apart from his pale face and sweat beads on his forehead, he had no particular reaction, and even his brow only slightly frowned.

If there was anything unusual, it was he kept on staring at her the whole time.

She could feel that he was weak now, but there was still strength in his eyes.

Summer couldn’t help saying, “Don’t look at me.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Leonardo was actually not as calm as he behaved. With the pain of the wound and that much of blood he lost, he almost fainted.

However, when he looked at Summer, the pain was miraculously relieved a little bit.

“No need to be nervous, I won’t die, I believe in you.” The voice of the Leonardo was light and soft, however very determined.

Summer had never been trusted and valued like this. She clenched her teeth and focused more on extracting bullets for him.

…

Summer felt that it had been a century.

When she finally took out the bullet, she was already sweating all over.

She washed her hands in the basin next to her, and asked Leonardo with concern, “How are you feeling?”

If before that her impression of “Douglas” was one of disdain, but after taking the bullet out for him, she couldn’t help but admire him.

Throughout the whole process, he had not called out in pain nor fainted. This kind of inhuman perseverance she had only seen in the movies.

She started to feel that this man had an unfathomable mystery, which was a bit frightening.

“Take a pen, I’ll make a list of medicine you need to buy.” Although Leonardo was pale in his face, he was still very determined when speaking.

Summer wrote down the list and went out to buy him the medicine.

She searched carefully through several pharmacies before buying all the medicine.

…

When Summer came back, Leonardo noticed that she was carrying several plastic bags printed with different pharmacies, and his lips were imperceptibly raised.

What a smart and thoughtful woman.

He could see that Summer hated him very much.

Or should he say, it was ” Douglas” she hated.

She probably thought that he was being hunted by his enemies, so she went to several different stores to buy it, for fear of causing suspicion.

Summer took out the medicine, squatted down in front of him, “I will put on the medicine for you, if it hurts, let me know, then I will go easy.”

Leonardo didn’t say a word until she had finished putting the medicine on his wounds.

Just as she was about to get up, the man suddenly reached out and grabbed her, pressed her lips, and kissed her passionately.

“I said, don’t wear your glasses.”
