Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 786

And then, through his own talent, he had climbed the ranks to become the old Lord’s personal attendant.

Eventually, he came to understand that in this sunless purgatory, a living hell where life was worse than death, only power guaranteed survival. Only status could protect the woman he loved.

When the old Lord grew frail, he seized his chance and orchestrated a takeover. At twenty-three, he became the new Lord of Liberty Island. At twenty-four, he married Celine in a magnificent ceremony.

Everyone on Liberty Island knew that the Lord’s wife was a simpleton. But what did it matter? Whatever Celine wanted, he would move heaven and earth to get for her.

There had been two opportunities to cure her. Once, he found a medication abroad, but on his return journey, he ran into men from the Sigma Network. A dispute over shipping lanes had festered for days, and the leader of Sigma Network launched a surprise attack, shelling his ship. Warren escaped with his life, but the precious medicine he’d worked so hard to find was lost to the inferno.

Another time, after a painstaking search, he discovered several rare herbs that might have helped Celine recover. At auction, he was prepared to spend a fortune, determined to win. But out of nowhere, someone from Subterra Vanguard appeared and swept up all the herbs.

And so, Celine’s condition had dragged on to this day...

“Honey, you don’t like it?” Celine asked in a small voice, frowning when she noticed Warren staring into space.

“I love it.” Warren set the potted plant down, picked up a towel, and gently wiped the smudges from her face. His usual obsession with cleanliness vanished when it came to her.

“Oh.” Celine’s large, round eyes blinked in confusion. “Then why aren’t you smiling?”

“Hmm?” Warren paused for a second before a brilliant smile spread across his face. He leaned down and pressed a soft, affectionate kiss to her forehead. “Is that better?”
