Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1429

Chapter 1429 Saving His Wife

Nonetheless, Ichika didn’t beg for mercy. Instead, she bit her lip and endured the pain.

Seeing that, her father—Giichi—grew all the more livid.

“You’ve still got some backbone in you, huh? Continue hitting her without holding back! I never knew that you’re such a vicious person that you’d even attempt to kill your own sister, Ichika!”

He ordered the temple staff to hit his daughter harder.

In truth, that was the rule there.

When the descendants of the noble families committed a mistake, they would be sent to such a place to be punished. On the one hand, it was to repent to their ancestors who were enshrined there.

And on the other, it was so that the descendants would see the error of their ways.

However, it was clear as day that Ichika hadn’t any intention of admitting her wrong. Tied to the post, she was struck more than ten times successively that even blood was trickling out of her mouth, and she was close to losing consciousness.

But still, she kept mum.

Giichi was really enraged to the point of speechlessness.

Just when he was about to order for a more severe punishment to be meted, a figure abruptly sprinted in from outside.

When Giichi saw that, he sprang to his feet at once. “What are you doing, Akiyama? I’m educating my daughter!”

Indeed, that man was none other than Solomon.

Unfortunately, he acted as though he couldn’t hear his father-in-law. Tossing the joss stick to the ground, he swiftly untied the girl bound to the post and had been beaten to within an inch of her life. He scooped her up into his arms right away.

“Ichika? Are you okay?”

The bright red blood stung his eyes, and even his voice shook when he spoke.

Ichika’s eyelashes fluttered against her petite face that was drained of all color before she slowly opened her eyes in the man’s embrace.

“D-Darling…”
