A Wedding Night Gone Terribly Wrong novel Chapter 401

"Your love transcends everything. It's deep, profound, and beautifully pure," Leland's voice murmured, rich with emotion. "Because of how you cherish me, I vow to make you the center of my world for the rest of my days. If I only have seventy years left to live, I'll love you with the devotion of seven hundred."

Leland’s voice grew even more fervent. "No, Winifred, seventy years is far too short. I want forever with you..."

*Cough... hack!*

Holden Lockwood choked, clutching his chest as he violently coughed up blood, his head slumping forward.

His bodyguards panicked, immediately spinning his wheelchair around and sprinting down the hall to find a doctor.

After being subjected to yet another grueling, head-to-toe medical examination, Holden lay exhausted in his hospital bed.

The door clicked open. Miles Bauer strolled in, his head wrapped in white gauze and his left arm slung in a heavy plaster cast. In his good right hand, he casually carried a small bag of candy.

Before entering the room completely, Miles paused to ask the guard at the door, "What did the doctor say about him coughing up blood?"

"They couldn't find anything physically wrong."

Miles frowned. "What was he doing right before it happened?"

"Watching someone else's proposal."

Miles rolled his eyes and ambled toward the bed. "The great Mr. Lockwood, who has survived literal life-and-death crises, was taken down by watching another man propose?"

He clumsily lowered himself into the bedside chair.

"There's no need to be so jealous. You have a woman of your own. She's the Reality Show Goddess—bright, beautiful, innocent, and completely obsessed with you. Remember? You two had that 'century's best' engagement party that broke the internet."

Miles tossed the bag of candy onto Holden's blankets and used his good hand to straighten out Holden's IV tube. "I'm trying to be a good friend here. Are you feeling any better?"

Silence.

This man was so hard to coax!
