Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1946

Chapter 1946

“Aren’t you afraid of death?” Hugo asked the handsome young man.

Theo returned his stare without a word.

Nevertheless, Theo’s lips twitched when he heard the question from Hugo’s lips.

“What use is that?” he responded calmly.

Hmm, interesting answer.

A smile nudged Hugo’s lips when he realized there was no fear in the young man’s eyes.

“Indeed, if I want to kill you, I won’t change my mind even if you go on your knees to beg for my forgiveness.

However, you’ll need to provide me a reason to spare your life,” Hugo told him.

With that said, he retracted his cane and strode over to the couch.

Rosalie parted her lips in an attempt to defend the bodyguard again, but Zylan grabbed her hand and gestured for her to stay put.

“I had two choices back there, so I picked the one that would give me a higher chance of surviving,” Theo answered.

“Oh?”

Theo explained, “Yes. If Mrs. Tilan were to slap Ms. Tilan and humiliate you, I’d die once I get back here. But if I chose to defend Ms. Tilan, you might spare my life since I was smart and loyal to her.”

The bodyguard with a bloodied cut on his lip was pinned to the ground. No one had expected that his reason was so simple and straightforward.

Instantly, Rosalie blanched in horror.

Is he nuts? How could he say that? He’ll definitely die after saying that!

Her heart sank to the bottom of her stomach in despair.

To her surprise, Hugo, notorious for committing innumerable murders, decided to spare the bodyguard’s life.

“All right. You win. I’ll spare your life this once.”

Dumbfounded by his actions, everyone in the penthouse gasped at his generous gesture.

Theo was the only exception.

He lifted his pale face to stare at the owner of the Tilan empire quietly.

“I admire those who aren’t afraid of death. I hope you’ll continue acting this way to protect yourself, otherwise, you’ll die a more horrible death than the people you killed last night,” Hugo declared.

His gaze was fixed on the bodyguard as he flashed a smile.

/ won’t do anything this foolish ever again. He’s just a bodyguard. Why should I even bother? He has nothing to do with me.
