My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 287

The new tattoo seemed to contain a few traces of condensed blood. During their moment of intimacy, Michael’s grasp had caused it to bleed and her whole shoulder even started to redden and swollen.

Sophia curled up as she did not dare to look at him.

She saw that he seemingly took a few steps back in horror. Suddenly, he turned and exited the door. With a bang, he slammed the door shut.

She lifted her head and stared at the door that he slammed. All of a sudden, two rows of tears streamed down her face.

Sophia thought of thousands of possibilities, but she did not dare to hope that he would protect her.

Phantom Wolf probably thinks that I’m fun to play with. Maybe it’s because I’m Michael’s woman, so he wants to snatch me from him for the fun of it. In Phantom Wolf’s eyes, I’m just a toy.

She knew that if she fell into Phantom Wolf’s hands, the outcome would be worse than death.

During the day in the restroom, the iron clamp that was around her neck almost crushed her throat, causing it to ache even at that point.

Sophia lay weakly on the bed, thinking about what she should do in the future. Michael and Phantom Wolf have a deep hatred for each other. Hale told me that Michael and the Fletchers were unable to catch Phantom Wolf for many years. The man is cunning and treacherous, so it has been hard for them to lure him out. On the other hand, I seem like a useful bait that Michael might use to tempt Phantom Wolf to show up, but I’ll be like a small boat in the middle of a storm once I’m involved in their battle. I may fall and die at any time. I need to live! I must live!

The door was opened with a bang as Michael returned.

She had been quietly sitting on the bed while crying and lifted her head to see him rushing toward her. He sat on the side of the bed and placed a small box on it before opening the box, which contained some medicine to reduce inflammatory and swelling.

Without uttering a word, he applied the medicine on Sophia’s body. It turned out that he merely went outside to grab some medicine.

She probably did not notice it herself, but when the lights were switched on, Michael was almost scared to death when he saw her injury. In addition to the bleeding tattoo on her body, there were also a few terrifying claw marks on her neck.

He didn’t know how powerful Phantom Wolf’s pinch was to have caused those bruises and scratches on her neck. He had no doubt that if Phantom Wolf had added more strength, her neck could have easily been broken.

He also chose not to ask her why she didn’t tell him the truth, why she didn’t escape or why she never yelled for help. He clearly knew Phantom Wolf—if the man wanted to end her life, he could have done so without breaking a sweat.

He had seen the deaths of other people whom Phantom Wolf had strangled. All of their necks were broken in half, leaving a horrifying image.

Phantom Wolf had a good understanding about the vital points of a human’s skeletal structure. Not only could he break a person’s spine with his bare hands, but he also had a cruel habit of strangling people’s necks while making them die a gradual death through endless fear and suffocation.

My chica must have been terrified today.

Sophia cried as her body continued to tremble. Her crystal-clear tears fell from her eyes, drop by drop, while Michael applied some medicine on her and gave her a napkin to wipe away the tears. He didn’t dare to touch her wound, so he could only gently caress her head to comfort her, “It’s okay. Don’t worry, I’m here. Phantom Wolf won’t dare to come and get you again.”

She sobbed for a moment before lifting her wet face to look at him. Then, she muttered, “He came to school to look for me. He even said that he will be back.”

Michael’s face became even more sullen. I can’t believe that he has already entered the school!

He wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. “It’s alright. Everything’s okay now. Don’t worry, I’m here. The doctors will be here soon to check on you. Don’t worry, you will be fine.”
