Chapter 452: Chapter 452: Don’t Say That
The eyes of the two men met and flickered up in the air as if there were invisible sparks.
William took the lead in turning away his eyes and took Julia away.
"William, why did you apologize? How can that woman match Stuart?" Julia said reluctantly.
"Shut up. Have you forgotten how crazy Stuart’s revenge was?" William said angrily.
This made Julia silent; she was thinking of the past, then she shrank her head in fear.
At the time... They all paid a huge price!
Julia started to regret her action just then, "So... would Stuart retaliate on us for what I did? will he?"
William’s eyes were deep, "He said he wouldn’t, you should be glad that you hit Stuart, not his wife."
Julia was not convinced, "Is that weak woman more important than his own life?"
"I know you don’t believe it, but that’s the truth." William’s tone was solemn, with no sense of joking.
Julia stopped talking and was dragged away by her brother.
But in the shadow, a touch of grim flashed across her eyes.
Edie helped Stuart hurry to the car. He was so worried that she could not speak. Her throat was blocked, but her tears could not come down.
When Stuart saw her face, he couldn’t help smiling. "I’m all right. Don’t worry about it. It’s nothing."
It was really nothing for Stuart. She had seen his body, there were many scars on it, and there was a gunshot wound on his chest too. It was because Marina saved him that he did not die.
She asked Stuart before, but he did not elaborate, just said that he was punished in the family.
But she knew that things were far from simple.
He did not tell; she did not ask; it was a tacit agreement between them.
However, she was not that strong, and this injury was common to him, but not common to Edie. She wished the wound was on her. Seeing Stuart getting hurt was more upsetting than herself being hurt.
The man was not even crying out for pain!
"Can you still drive? Let me drive!"
"I can drive, I’m more worried about you driving like that, you’ve been too emotional." Stuart helped her buckle up as if nothing had happened. Edie’s tears could no longer hold back her tears.
She stopped talking nonsense and kept urging him to drive quickly, avoid moving around, and to go to the hospital early to deal with the wound. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
When they arrived at the hospital, Edie stayed by Stuart. Stuart asked Edie to deal with the cat’s scratch wound first, but she refused and accompanied him.
He wanted her to leave because he was afraid that she would get scared by the bloody scene, but the girl was more stubborn than he thought.
Although her face turned paler and paler as the process went on, she still watched the whole process with her eyes open.
Finally, the doctor dressed Edie’s wound too, Stuart squatted beside her and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Edie looked at him and said, "That’s what I should ask you."
One was scratching, and the other was whipping. It was easy to see which one was more painful.
Stuart smiled softly, "I am a man. Therefore I have to act like a man. As long as you are by my side, no wound would hurt, you are my medicine, don’t you know that?"
"You..." Hearing Stuart’s words, tears of anger fell down Edie’s cheek. "What’s wrong with you! If being with you means getting you hurt all the time, I’d rather not be by your side."
"Don’t say that!"
Stuart’s face suddenly became serious and yelled.
Edie quickly said, "I’m just making an analogy..."
"Not even an analogy!" He frowned and said, then hugged her tightly. "From now on, no such hypothesis will be allowed! You can only be by my side, understand?"
"Yes! Yes! Does it hurt? if it hurts, don’t take it on your own, I... I would worry..."
She said.
When Stuart heard her soft and fluffy tone, his face softened too, he kept fondling her back and said softly, "Okay, I won’t take it on my own. It hurts."
"I... I’ll go to the doctor and see if there’s any way to relieve the pain..." Edie cried more fiercely. She was about to stand up and go to the doctor but was stopped by Stuart.
He said, "Because you are crying, my heart hurts!"
"You..." Edie was stunned. Tears hung on her eyelashes like glittering pearls.
She did not expect at a time like this, Stuart still had the mood to tease her!
"Why can you still joke around at a time like this!" She growled.
"I’m not joking around, and I’m telling you the truth if you don’t believe me... listen! "
He took Edie’s hand and put it on his chest. The temperature of his skin and strong vibration came through his thin clothes together.
His heart was beating vigorously.
Edie bit her lips and said nothing, then she avoided the wound on his back and hugged him tightly.
"I’ll take you to a health check-up."
"No, I just want to enjoy this hug for a little longer."
Edie’s muffled voice came from his chest.
It used to be Stuart who liked to hold herself quietly. She didn’t quite understand.
But she could understand him now, and his hug made her feel safe and secure.
His arms were so hot and powerful; she felt as if ... she could never get enough of it.
This feeling was so good that she couldn’t help being greedy.
"Stuart... if something happens to you, I’ll worry, my heart will ache for you, I’ll blame myself... I want you to be safe!"
"I’ll be fine." The answer sounded like a promise.
"Who on earth was that woman? Why didn’t you make her take responsibility for what she did?" Edie couldn’t help but get angry at the thought of that inexplicable woman.
"I used to know her. Her personality had always been like that. Her brother and I were friends, so I was doing her brother a favor." Said Stuart, then he squinted his eyes.
However, favors were done by Stuart always required interest.
Edie suddenly thought of Julia saying something about Stuart’s goal today. She reluctantly loosened his arms and asked, "That woman said you had your goal. What’s your goal? Would being with me stop you from reaching your goal?"
Her eyes fell on his face, clean and pure, and he would not let anything stain them.
But been stared at like this made Stuart wince, his body turned stiff slightly too.
Noticing that Stuart was acting a little uneasy, she was puzzled.
Stuart’s goal...
What is it?
"I used to persist in something else, but now I only persist in you."
After a long time, his thin rose lips slowly opened and said word by word.
Noticing that he did not answer directly, Edie pursed her lips and asked no more.
