Chapter 149 No More Remarriage!
The man strode forward, forcefully pulling the curtains apart. However, beneath the tall building was a vast, flat expanse of open space, where there was nothing at all.
Suddenly, a faint coughing sound came from behind.
Gavyn’s brow furrowed as he turned and walked towards the bathroom. Opening the door, he saw at woman soaking in a bathtub filled with water.
She had long hair draped over her shoulders, damp and clinging. She wore a simple, clean white dress. Her expression was delicate and fragile, like a lily swaying in the wind.
Indeed, the touch of red in the bathtub was even more startling than the vast expanse of white!
There was a deep scratch on her wrist!
Her eyes were tightly closed, as if she had stopped breathing.
Even though Gavyn was reluctant to see her, his pupils still contracted abruptly at this moment.
“Laila!”
Furrowing his brow, he scooped the woman up from the water.
“Cough cough…” After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, Laila finally saw the person she had been longing to meet. Her heart swelled with joy. Thank goodness, Gavyn still cared about her!
She knew, without a doubt, that Gavyn would never stand by and watch her die!
“Gavyn, you’ve finally arrived…”
Laila slowly opened her eyes and at Gavyn’s face.
Her eyes were filled with an innocent and pitiful expression.
She collapsed weakly into Gavyn’s arms, her eyes and brows filled with a sorrowful, frail expression. “Gavyn, I’m so happy. I thought you never wanted to see me again,” she sobbed.
Gavyn quietly took a step back.
“Stop talking, I’ll take you to the hospital first!”
Laila couldn’t help but cry even louder as she wasn’t embraced by the man, “I won’t go….! If I can’t explain everything to Gavyn today, I’d rather die!”
Her face was pale, with delicate eyebrows and long eyelashes dampened by moisture, giving her an appearance filled with a sense of fragility.
“Gavyn, I really didn’t do those things. I… I was actually framed. Someone drugged me, and I only found out about everything when I woke up… At that time, I was completely out of control!
Before, I didn’t dare to tell you about these things because I was afraid you’d be angry, angry at me for not being vigilant and not being able to protect myself. I really didn’t let you down!”
Laila’s nose and the corners of her eyes were red from crying, making her look like a delicate white porcelain vase, filled with cra cks, as if it would shatter into pieces with just a touch.
She resolutely raised her hand, extending three fingers. Her sleeve stirred up a small spray of water droplets. Despite her slender frame, her face showed a deep sense of determination.
“I swear, I will be absolutely loyal to Gavyn. Otherwise, may I be struck by lightning and suffer a terrible death!”
Laila spoke without hesitation, as if she had nothing to feel guilty about, making it seem quite convincing.
In fact, she wasn’t feeling guilty at all; she was only doing these things out of necessity. If the poisonous oaths in this world were truly effective, then all the heartless men in the world would be dead by now!
She’s not scared at all!
From beginning to end, Gavyn just watched her with a cold gaze.
No matter how bitterly Laila cried, it couldn’t conceal the fact that her words were contradictory.
After a while, Gavyn wouldn’t believe her anymore. He wasn’t a fool and could see that all these were just Laila’s attempts to save herself.
“Laila!”
Gavyn’s gaze was like a heavy mountain, weighing down on Laila, the scrutiny in his eyes almost suffocating her. “The Laila I once knew wasn’t the type to cry and wail, acting as if her life depended on it.”
Laila was frightened by the man’s cold gaze.
I wanted to cry out loud, but the uncontrollable trembling just wouldn’t stop.
She suddenly felt that Gavyn was even colder than the water in the bathtub, and in that moment, she couldn’t even cry. She forcefully swallowed her so bs.
Gavyn didn’t say much more to her. He went to the living room and found the hotel’s standard first aid kit. He took out gauze and cotton pads, wrapped them around Laila’s hand, and stopped the bleeding for her. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Gavyn’s expression was cold, but his actions in bandaging Laila were quite gentle. As the distance between them closed, Laila couldn’t help but feel her thoughts wander.
Gavyn still cared about her life and death.
So, does that mean you also believe what she just said?
If he didn’t trust her completely, he wouldn’t be taking such good care of her now, right?
Laila tentatively spoke up, whispering, “Gavyn, everything I just said was from the heart. I can guarantee…”
After finishing the bandaging, Gavyn stood up and looked down at Laila with a cold tone, “There’s no point in talking about this now. The wedding can’t go on.”
Laila fell speechless.
Laila knew that Gavyn was a man of his word. Since he had spoken, it meant that there was truly no hope for the wedding.
Laila’s heart, which had just been a bit unsettled, was instantly drenched in a chilling sensation.
She couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into tears with a loud wail.
“Gavyn, please don’t be so heartless towards me, I beg you! We’ve known each other for so many years, even if you don’t trust me anymore, we still have our bond, don’t we?”
The tall man had an indifferent expression on his face.
Laila was desperate. She reached out and grabbed the corner of Gavyn’s clothes, pleading earnestly, “Gavyn, when I saved you, I never asked for anything in return, and I’ve never been arrogant about it. Now, I have no other requests, just one wish to stay by your side.
–
I don’t expect us to get married, but… can I just stay by your side as a secretary? Is that okay?”
