In response, Wyatt shrugged. “It was quite painful. Unfortunately, your plan fell through. I’m still alive.”
Gianna eyeballed him for a long while before she started cackling again. “Yeah, what a downright disappointment! If I were mobile, I would’ve definitely rushed over at that time and stabbed you twice more!”
“On the whole, that was exceedingly impressive of you. You bribed my housekeepers again, huh? How did you end up getting beaten so badly? It must hurt greatly, doesn’t it?” Wyatt brushed his fingers against her swollen cheek.
Lifting his head, he ordered Gabriel, “Go and get some ice cubes. I’ll help my darling Gianna apply a cold compress.”
Immediately, Gabriel was struck dumb.
After being dazed for several seconds, he obeyed the order and went out to get some ice cubes.
At Wyatt’s attitude, Rayna’s temper spiked, and she asked Curtis in a low voice, “What is he doing? Why did he instruct Mr. Tylinski to get some ice cubes for that woman? He must have lost his mind!”
Curtis peeled the orange into slices for her, coaxing placidly, “Just watch the show.”
Thus, Rayna fell silent.
Gabriel returned with a bucket of ice cubes. Wrapping a few cubes of ice in gauze, he handed the cold compress to Wyatt.
Wyatt proceeded to apply the cold compress to Gianna’s swollen cheek, his movements gentle.
If someone with no knowledge of the situation were to come across that scene, the person would certainly assume that the man was taking care of his injured woman.
The instant the ice came into contact with her face, the pain made Gianna flinch.
She then sneered, “Since I’m already in such a condition, just kill me if you wish to do so. There’s no need to do such a pointless thing!”
“Shh! Don’t say such a thing.” Placing a finger against her lips, Wyatt riposted with a low chuckle, “How could I possibly kill you when I can’t wait to love you? I’ll never do that.”
Too disgusted to watch, Gabriel averted his gaze.
Wyatt leaned down and placed the cold compress against Gianna’s face, his voice airy. “Was it you who killed my kids?”
Lost in the man’s tenderness, Gianna suddenly snickered coldly upon hearing that question.
“Yes, it was me. On top of that…” Lifting her head to meet his gaze, she enunciated vengefully, “I purposely didn’t call an ambulance for Jessica and watched as a puddle of blood formed under her skirt. Ouch! It must have been indescribably painful.”
Thereafter, she shook her head and lamented, “Twins are rare. What a pity! But aren’t you the most foolish of all? I merely uttered a few words, and you believed me and thought she wanted to abort the babies. Haha…”
Surprisingly, Wyatt wasn’t at all incensed. The smile stayed on his face, and his movements were still as gentle as ever.
“Are you mad? If so, kill me!” Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, Gianna continued provoking him, lambasting, “How d*mn useless of you, Wyatt! It was me who killed your kids, yet you’re not even attempting to take my life!”
She studied him closely before giggling creepily. “I forgot that you still had a kid. Alas, you couldn’t meet him because I was the one who pushed Jessica into the sea.”
That revelation took Rayna aback, and her eyes gradually widened.
Meanwhile, Gianna narrated softly, “I saw her running back, so I gave her a hard shove, watching as she fell into the sea. She died with your child. Don’t you feel distressed?”
“D*mn you!” Rayna screeched, her eyes red-rimmed. The urge to charge over and hit Gianna gripped her.
Holding her in his arms, Curtis consoled her.
“How amazing of you, darling! Even when in a wheelchair, you could still do such a thing.” Wyatt chortled, gliding his fingers down her cheek.
Grasping hold of her chin, he exerted force.
With a snap, Gianna’s jaw was dislocated. The agony almost caused tears to escape her eyes.
Grabbing a handful of ice cubes from the ice bucket, Wyatt unhurriedly stuffed them into her opened mouth.
Ice cubes were solid, and Gianna couldn’t swallow them. All she could do was slowly move her throat.
As the ice cubes slid down her throat, the biting cold had her shudder violently.
