Chapter 23 She Took a Bullet for Him
I stood in place, watching Idris hurriedly carry Moore into the bedroom. I stared blankly at the blood- stained fruit knife in my hand. For a moment, I really wanted to stab the knife into his heart. He had not even bothered to dodge. If it had not been for Moore blocking it, the knife would have pierced him.
Ultimately, I had gotten carried away by emotion, acting impulsively.
The family doctor, who resided in the old manor, was quickly brought over by Charles.
After taking the doctor into the bedroom, Charles looked at me, hesitating to speak.
I knew what he wanted to say but chose not to acknowledge it, simply stating, “She won’t die.” I was impulsive, but I did not intend to kill Idris. At most, it would be a superficial wound, with a few drops
of blood.
As expected, the doctor came out shortly and stated that the wound was not serious. She just needed to keep the wound dry and replace the dressing regularly for a few days.
He hesitated before adding, “But this wound overlapped with a previous one, so the scar may be uglier and harder to remove.”
Charles nodded and escorted the doctor out.
I originally intended to leave, but hearing the doctor’s words, I could not help but stay. Moore already
had a wound on her shoulder?
Curious, I walked toward the bedroom. Before entering, I heard soft sobbing coming from inside.” Iddy, will this scar on my shoulder never go away?”
Idris was comforting her rather patiently. “No, it will. I’ll find a way to remove it for you. Don’t worry, and just focus on healing for now. It’ll be fine.”
Perhaps because Idris was so gentle, Moore stopped crying and looked at him with a smile. “Iddy, I’m actually not worried about scars. As long as you don’t mind it, I’d rather it stay on me for a lifetime. The one from five years ago, and the current one.”
After saying this, she paused and hypocritically added, “But don’t blame Yvette, Iddy. She was angry and lost her senses. After all, I got pregnant and moved into the old manor. She’s still the wife you married, and she must be uncomfortable that you brought me here. It’s good that she got her anger out a little. I just hope she won’t make things difficult for you because of me.”
