Chapter 148
11 had just been a simple reply from Austin, but charles couldn’t suppress the shiver that ran through him. Austin was out for blood!
No one had ever made Austin this furious before
The Yates family was about to be turned upside downL
And yet Charles felt no sympathy for them. Anyone who dared to tonment Austin’s woman deserved whatever was coming
After finishing his task, Charles let out a breath. “Austin, everything is fine now.”
Austin nodded and was about to rise, but Suzanne clung tightly to his clothing. His movements paused as his gaze dropped to her delicate fingers gripping his shirt.
Perhaps disturbed by his subtle movement, Suzanne’s brows knitted together, and her eyelids trembled as if she were on the verge of waking
Austin gently ran his hand down her back, soothing her with slow strokes only then did her expression relax, and she drifted back into deep sleep
Charles smirked. “You should stay with her and rest. She must’ve been terrified”
A woman who had gone through such a traumatic ordeal was bound to feel vulnerable and unsafe
Austin pave a faint nod, not moving,
Charles stepped out of the ward and carefully closed the door behind him. Standing in the hallway, his usually nonchalant expression darkened. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a pair of scissors, and snapped them open and shut in the air with sharp clicks.
II Henry ever came to him for medical treatment, he would make sure that bastard never walked out the same.
Inside the hospital ward, Austin, who was still holding Suzanne, eventually lay down beside her on the bed.
Her sleep was restless, tormented by relentless nightmares, In her dream, she was running endlessly from those chasing her.
Just as the hands behind her nearly grasped her clothes, Suzanne jolted awake and sat up abruptly in bed. She gasped for air, her heart pounding erratically.
Todd Lloyd! Memories came flooding back, sending a wave of panic through her.
Where was she?
His sharp gaze landed on her bare feet against the cold floor. His brows furrowed, and he strode over swiftly, scooping her up and placing her back on the bed. “Why aren’t you wearing shoes
Austin’s eyes darkened with distress as be gently brushed off the dust from her feet. The gesture made her uncomfortable, and she instinctively tried to pull back. But Austin had already pulled the blanket over her, fucking her in securely.
His gaze met hers, unwavering. “How do you feel now?”
