Free Web NovelChapter 619: Chapter 619: Yet It Makes Him Ache for Her
Summer Shawcross was filled with confusion and puzzlement, unable to resist raising her head again to look at Noah Drexler.
He was looking at her intently, his eyes lowered, with a nervous expression.
"Still uncomfortable?" he asked, frowning, his handsome face full of concern.
Because the method he used to temporarily halt the poison for her wasn’t with The Drexler Family’s medicine, but with his blood mixed with another solution, it might not be as effective as the family’s medicine.
Noah Drexler’s voice pulled Summer Shawcross back into reality.
She was momentarily stunned, then subconsciously shook her head.
"I’m fine now..." Apart from some soreness and a slightly irregular heartbeat, there was not much pain in her body now.
Hearing her say this, Noah Drexler’s expression did not relax in the slightest. Instead, he suddenly lifted his hand, grasping her wrist with unease. Only after confirming there was no trembling and no other adverse reactions did he finally loosen his perpetually furrowed brow.
Seeing his tense demeanor, Summer Shawcross felt a softness in her heart, but suddenly remembered something, making her feel a bit tense again.
She glanced at him, then spoke with care, asking him softly.
"Has the wedding ended?"
She had taken a glimpse outside the window earlier, and it was now almost noon. According to previous arrangements, The Drexler Family’s wedding should have ended successfully, and he should have gotten what he wanted, right?
Hearing her words, Noah Drexler couldn’t help but lower his eyes, his gaze quietly resting on her face.
At the sight of her concerned expression, something soft within his heart was suddenly touched...
To her, it was merely a ceremonial wedding, yet it was so significant.
Is it because... she cared about him?
Things he never dared to hope for before were now happening, yet it pained him.
Seeing him not answering for so long, Summer Shawcross felt a bit more tense, seemingly already guessing the answer.
She lowered her head, planning not to ask anything else when suddenly, the man’s deep voice slowly sounded.
"No." he said.
No?
As his words fell, Summer Shawcross was momentarily taken aback, then her face revealed an expression of surprise and bewilderment.
"Why?" She raised her head again, looking at him in confusion.
Seeing her bewildered expression, Noah Drexler felt somewhat helpless in his heart.
"Summer Shawcross, do you think I could just stand by and watch you suffer in agony?!" he retorted, somewhat discontentedly.
Did he even need to say why?
She was in so much pain that he had lost his reason, with not a single thought to stay at The Drexler Family.
If he hadn’t arrived in time, that kind of pain could have taken her life!
It was precisely because he was too familiar with and understood that kind of pain that he knew all too well she couldn’t bear it!
Listening to his displeased voice, Summer Shawcross felt a momentary daze.
A moment later, a joyful expression unconsciously appeared on her face, and because she was so happy, her eyes suddenly became a bit misty.
So... he didn’t hold the wedding with Autumn Duval for her?
Thinking this, she suddenly felt a bit relieved, with a bit more smile on her face.
And that smile on her face, as it fell into Noah Drexler’s eyes, somehow made him a bit displeased.
