His Versatile Gorgeous Wife (PDF) novel Chapter 1423

Chapter 1423 Injured

Seeing that, the bodyguards rushed forward to shield Arielle. However, one of the other men aimed a hard kick at them and sent them flying through the air. Arielle saw the blade moving swiftly toward her, but it was too close, and there was not enough time for her to dodge the attack.

A second later, she felt the blade slash her arm, and crimson blood flowed from the wound.

Watching Arielle getting injured made Vinson see red. He grabbed the knife from the man’s hand and stabbed the latter repeatedly. I’ll make sure that whoever dares to harm Arielle will suffer in kind tenfold or even twentyfold.

Vinson was out for blood, and three out of the four men wound up with severe injuries. Realizing that there was no way for him to complete his mission, the man who was not seriously injured shot Vinson a glance before fleeing.

Suppressing the pang in his heart, Vinson turned to Arielle and asked calmly, “Are you okay?”

Arielle noticed the worry and pain in his eyes. She shook her head and said, “I’m fine. It’s nothing serious.”

The two bodyguards turned to her, their gazes brimming with guilt as they had failed to protect her.

“We’re sorry, Ms. Moore. It was our fault you got injured.”

Arielle shook her head again and replied, “It wasn’t your fault.”

Vinson hid the pain he felt as he gazed at her wound and said, “I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Knowing that he was worried about her, she nodded in agreement.

Vinson did not speak Turlenese, so Arielle was the one who spoke to the doctor at the hospital.

The bodyguards took the opportunity to contact Morrison and informed him about the assassins. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, Morrison reported it to Dylan immediately.

Her face clouded over as she muttered in frustration, “After what happened today, she’ll surely be on high alert. It won’t be that easy to attack her in the future.”

Even with her bodyguards, I thought that sending four men would be enough to take Arielle down. The four men were highly-ranked fighters, and any one of them should’ve been able to take her life. I never imagined they’d turn out to be so useless and incapable of doing anything.

Meanwhile, Miranda hung her head without daring to make a sound. She had personally handpicked those four assassins. Now that the mission had failed, she was fearful it would mean trouble for her.

After pondering for some time, the queen finally said in a grave tone, “Let’s set this matter aside for the time being. We can’t let anyone find out it was us.”

Miranda breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. She had been terrified of incurring the queen’s wrath.

Looking up at the queen, she said in an ingratiating tone, “Your Majesty, I heard that His Majesty has gone to the hospital.”

“Did you make sure you didn’t leave any traces? He cares so much about that doctor from Chanaea that it wouldn’t do to let him know that I was behind it.”
