Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 56

56 Is this care? Why?

Staying there was far better than staying around Alpha Chaos, damn it!

While Pink was almost snapping in rage, Jeslyn was scrutinizing her from afar. She could see the pink- haired lady more clearly than before. Her figure and murderous air reminds her too much of Pink, but she had never seen Pink in this manner before.

And also, where there’s Pink, there should be Yellow. She learned in prison that the both of them are inseparable. So, seeing a blue-haired lady instead of Yellow, killed the little excitement that was sprouting in her heart.

Jeslyn sighed and returned her gaze to the blue-haired lady who had just gotten to them.

The lady bowed to little Valen and Jeslyn before she grabbed the well-built guard up from the floor. The guard tried to resist as an ominous feeling gripped his heart. However, the lady was way more powerful than he is.

The guard might look big, but his strength couldn’t compare to Blue’s.

She dragged him to the edge of the pool and sent a powerful kick to the back of his knee.

The guard stumbled forward and fell inside the pool with a ‘splash!’

Jeslyn didn’t understand what was going on, however, Valen did. He flattened his lips into a thin line while staring at the two struggling in the water. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Blue was pushing the guard’s head down the water while the guard was resisting her.

Jeslyn soon realized what was going on when she saw the guard’s reaction every time he managed to raise his head from the pool.

She is killing him!

The moment that realization dawned on her, Jeslyn jolted from the chair, startling Valen.

“Stop!” She screamed, but Blue paid no heed.

“I said, stop it!!”

She screamed again with her hand waving at them. But no one answered.

Jeslyn’s trauma suddenly attacked and she hurriedly held her head with both hands while screaming.

“Ahhh!”

But before she could fall back onto the chair, a small hand tried to rescue her, but her weight was too much, so both Valen and Jeslyn fell on the chair with Valen’s hand caught in-between the lounge chair and her back. 1

The child bit his lip fiercely but didn’t scream nor cried, however, the pain he felt in his hand was severe and he even felt his bone react.

While Jeslyn was twitching like someone who had an electric shock, her hazel iris rolled in and only her white pupil could be seen.

No one knew when Pink rushed over. Her face was filled with terror as she lowered herself and picked up Jeslyn into her arms. She shot a death stare at Blue who had paused her action.

“Finish that off!” She ordered in a wicked tone before she turned with Jeslyn in her arms and hurried towards the house.

Valen stared after them with no emotions on his cute face until they entered the house before he slowly lowered his eyes to his right hand.

Trying to move the hand, his face turned pale. He bit harder on his lips to prevent himself from screaming.

Redness was slowly forming on his wrist and was swollen with a protruding bone.

Valen shut his watering red eyes as lines of tears fell on his cheeks.

It hurts like hell, but from the time he could remember, he was told to never show his pain and must not cry because it would make him weak… Nanny Mulan had said that. 1

So, the child couldn’t wail and he had to hold in the pain from such a tender age until pain was carved in his spine. 1

His only way to express the pain he was feeling was to become a little demon. When he feels pain, instead of crying, he releases the frustration on others.

“Come here!” He roared after blinking away the tears that were threatening to fall again.

He had immediately wiped the tears that had been on his cheeks earlier, so right now, his face didn’t look like someone who was crying a while ago, nor did it look like someone in distress, but rather, he looked furious, masking his painful expression in fury.

The guard he called rushed over and Valen pointed toward his lounge chair with his left hand.

“What kind of a chair is this?!!”

“Little -”

“Search for whoever brought it here and send them to me!!!” He screamed before trotting away.

His right hand which he had brought to his front to conceal it from everyone else was shaking as it swells.

The child’s eyes turned red with tears gathering but he stubbornly wouldn’t shed them.

Mulan had told him that crying would make him their hidden enemies’ target and once he became broken, the mountain, who is his father, would be brought down. This also means, his uncle would die and his mother would never be found for him.

The child increased his pace, hoping to get into the house and lock himself in his room, away from sight, then call doctor Matt a while later… After his emotions are in place.

To distract himself from the unbearable pain, he started to lament… In his heart of course.

“That foolish woman, she couldn’t even bear seeing a person getting killed but she dared to marry my dad. How is she a person from country M if she is so weak?

Why did I try to save her? What was that feeling of anxiety when I saw her like that? Why did I feel

pity for her?

Mulan was right. She had said weak-looking and cute people were poisonous to the heart, and Jeslyn has proven Mulan’s point again, so I have to stay away from Jeslyn from now on.’

While thinking, the child didn’t know when he got to his door. He subconsciously glanced at Jeslyn’s door before opening his and rushed in.

Valen’s wrist was too painful for him to linger around. He rushed to his bed, opened the drawer, and brought out a pain relief medicine that Mulan had always given him. 1

Valen managed to open the cap of the blue container and hurriedly took one pill.

He got on the bed and pulled a blanket to cover himself, ready for the agonizing pain that follows after he takes the tablet. 4
