Healing my disabled husband novel Chapter 537

Chapter 537 She's like waiting to be sentenced to death

Martha fell silent, as if she still didn't want to recall the past of that time very much.

Her face was uncontrollably pale, with all her blood gone, and her skin, which was not covered by any makeup, was lifeless.

Douglas felt very uncomfortable seeing her like this.

He was even regretting if he shouldn't let Martha remember those things again, the things that made her suffer.

However, Douglas became more and more aware that maybe for Martha, speaking out these words was the best solution, allowing her to completely separate from the past.

So, even though this process was painful, Douglas still hoped that she can get over this hurdle.

Thinking of this, Douglas didn't stop Martha from recalling.

He looked at Martha silently, without any urging, without any persecution, just stared at her quietly.

Martha seemed to feel the kindness from Douglas. She adjusted her breathing and looked up at Douglas again. Her eyes seemed to be full of attachment.

Douglas hadn't seen in her eyes for the past seven years.

In an instant, Douglas' mood became more complicated.

He didn't know how to describe how he felt when he saw such an expression, and somehow he had the feeling that he was the whole world of this woman.

This kind of feeling made Douglas very flustered.

He was even a little overwhelmed.

He didn't know how to describe it, as if his world had been invaded by something forcefully.

Martha didn't hide any of her emotions anymore, but looked at Douglas so straightforwardly, dependent, loving, and even surrendered.

Of course, what was more, it was gratitude, the kind of admiration that seemed to regard Douglas as a god.

Martha said, "Thirteen years ago, in Juplye, you saved me."

Douglas' body trembled. Was it really in Juplye?

But he clearly had no memory about it at all.

Martha saw Douglas' doubts. She smiled miserably and said, "It's normal that you don't remember. At that time, you had a fever, and you were a little confused."

Douglas couldn't believe it even more, because he didn't understand how he saved Martha when he was in that state.

Martha said, "Actually, I'm surprised too. You were already like that. Where did you get the strength to drag me out?"

Thirteen years ago, Martha was sold to Juplye by her gambler father. She was the youngest and most beautiful among other boys and girls who were sold there.

Because she was the most beautiful one, she was kept under the strictest supervision. Of course, it also made her safer in the face of danger for a longer time than others.

Because she was more able to be sold for a good price than other children, this made those men, who had evil thoughts about her, weigh it in the face of huge financial benefits, whether they wanted to have a quick pleasure, or wanted large amount of money.

However, Martha still suffered a lot of humiliation. Those men couldn't really do anything to her, so they used even more evil means to find pleasure from her.
