Chapter 114 Pain
But last time, he seemed to have forgotten about this thing completely.
It took Aurora a short while to come back to her senses. Then she nodded and said, “True.”
The car stopped right in front of the traffic light. Hale’s evil gaze swept Aurora’s face.
“Mr. Vercher always takes good care of female students, especially beautiful ones.”
Aurora’s pupils constricted.
Then, Hale turned the steering wheel and the car drove onto a nearby side road.
The streetlights in this area were very dim. Aurora thought she saw contempt in Hale’s eyes. “Mr. Smith, what do you mean by all this?”
“What? You don’t dare to admit to what you’ve done?”
He suddenly stepped on the brake and grabbed Aurora’s wrist tightly, forcing Aurora to look at him, “You’ve spent hours alone with your teacher that night and flirted with your ex-husband in public. No need to pretend not to be a slut in front of me!”
Aurora retreated abruptly.
But the car door was locked from the inside and she could not open it.
Hale stared at Aurora’s beautiful face like a beast that had run out of the darkness of night.
“Zac got no taste. He chose that idiot Wenny instead of such a beautiful woman like you.”
Aurora met his evil gaze and gritted her teeth.
“If you dare to do anything to me, I promise you’ll be spat on by the whole design industry.”
“Oh, is that so?” Hale clicked his tongue and took out the camera he had prepared. “You probably don’t know. But without my permission, it is impossible for people like you to enter this industry.”
Aurora groped behind her back for anything that could be used for self-defense.
However, it was too late.
Her head spun and her vision started to blur.
Half conscious, Aurora seemed to hear Hale’s chuckle. “You are quite good. The other women
would have long passed out by this time.”
No!
Aurora suddenly started to smack the car window with strength that came out of nowhere.
movements. The pain hit her and sobered her up instantly.
Aurora felt dizzy after taking the unknown drug, but now the dizziness was suppressed by the pain.
“You…”
Aurora threw herself at Hale, grabbed his head, and slammed it into the steering wheel.
Hale did not expect Aurora to fight back at all. He was stunned for a moment, and when he began to
counterattack, his forehead was already bleeding.
Aurora wasted no time. Before Hale came back to his senses, Aurora wrapped the safety belt around
his neck.
Using both her hands and feet, Aurora fastened Hale to the driver’s seat.
“I just need to exert a little more strength and you will die.”
She pulled hard, and Hale was strangled to the point of being barely conscious.
“Let… Let go of me!”
Aurora sneered. Then, she threw Hale’s head into the glass and knocked him out.
At that moment, the entire world seemed to quiet down.
Aurora’s palm was covered in red marks, and her neck was in pain.
But she had no time to hesitate. After all, she was a woman. She needed to take advantage of the
time when Hale was distracted to save herself. And she had to find a way to prevent Hale from
taking revenge on her.
Aurora looked around the car for a while, and her eyes fixed on the camera.
A few minutes later, she quickly left Hale’s car.
It was very late at night and most of the staff had left. And there were few taxis passing by.
Aurora gasped for breath, but her vision started to blur uncontrollably.
She walked down the road in the direction of downtown, and she vaguely heard cars moving toward her from behind.
Was it Hale?
Aurora was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
“You must keep walking, Aurora…” she said to herself.
Suddenly, Aurora heard a sharp sound of tires screeching.
Aurora staggered and fell forward. She had little strength in her legs.
“Don’t come near.” These three words were all she said before she fell.
Blood seeped out of Aurora’s neck and stained the man’s suit.
His eyes were icy cold. “Aurora, wake up!”
Before she went completely unconscious, Aurora heard someone calling her non-stop.
But she was too tired. So tired that she couldn’t open her eyes. And all of a sudden, she felt cold all
over.
By instinct, Aurora moved to the warmest place around her. She held out her hands and reached out
for the one next to her. His body was very warm and his heart was beating very fast.
Aurora moved her face closer to him.
“Wake up.”
He called out to her again. His voice sounded like Zac’s. But Zac would never speak so softly to her. This guy was so tender and careful as if he was afraid of losing her.
With her eyes shut, Aurora was annoyed by the fact that she was still thinking about that person in what may be her last moments.
“Why should I wake up? It’s better to die and leave everything behind.”
Aurora felt very tired.
A drop of tear slipped out of the corner of her eye and Aurora fell into the man’s arms and passed out completely
Wideblue Villa
Zac frowned as he listened to the doctor at the door of the bedroom on the second floor.
“Mr. Buchanna, the wound in Ms. Bennet’s neck has not been properly treated. And she has just taken some kind of psychedelics, which has given her a high fever. I can’t give her medicine now. We can only wait until she wakes up tomorrow to make the diagnosis.
“Otherwise, her wound is very likely to be infected.”
Seeing Zac’s cold expression, the doctor added, “You don’t have to worry too much. If the high fever
makes her talk nonsense, or if she looks in pain, you can try to cool down her body temperature…”
The doctor told Zac many tips before he left.
Zac frowned as he looked at the woman lying on the bed. Her face was pale, and her lips had no color. This made Zac’s heart ache.
Zac didn’t see how frightening Aurora’s wound was until the doctor removed the gauze from her neck to examine it.
He remembered that Aurora was afraid of pain.
At their wedding, she shed tears after piercing her finger by accident.
But now, Aurora didn’t mind quarreling with him or even walking alone for so long with such a wound…
“Let me go,” Aurora shouted in pain with her eyes closed.
Zac looked at her with serious eyes, but he couldn’t help but walk over.
The next second, he stretched out his hand to see if she was speaking nonsense due to a high fever.
Aurora suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed him.
Zac’s eyes darkened instantly.
He knew it! This was another scheme of hers!

“Aurora, if you’re awake, get the hell out of here.”
Zac was a neat freak. He brought Aurora here only because this place was closer to the hospital.
Unexpectedly, Aurora just stared at him in a daze. After a while, she murmured, “Since you hate me so much, why did you marry me?”
The coldness in Zac’s eyes suddenly disappeared.
“You ruined our marriage and also yourself,” she said with a chuckle.
With that, Aurora sobbed, turned on her side, and buried herself in the quilt next to her. “I am so useless. When can I stop dreaming about you?”
Aurora kept crying in the quilt and shaking.
At that instant, Zac had very mixed feelings. Then he did something he had never done in his life. He walked over and sat down by the bed.
He reached out and patted Aurora on the shoulder.
