Chapter 50: Brief Intimacy
The master bedroom was also extravagantly decorated.
As soon as they entered the room, Willow asked Caspian seriously, “Are you really just a b*dyguard for
John?”
“What else would I be?” Caspian didn’t directly reveal his identity. He had another purpose, which was to
test Willow’s sincerity toward him.
“If you’re just an ordinary b*dyguard, why did Sylvia, a mid-level officer, intervene on our behalf during the
last gathering? I heard her speak to you with great respect. How do you explain that?” Willow questioned.
“Didn’t I say earlier that it was all an act? You knew the situation during the gathering. It was indeed because I saved John’s life that Sylvia helped us,” Caspian explained.
“Is that really true?” Willow was skeptical.
“Yes, my status isn’t as impressive as you imagine. Do you feel disappointed?” Caspian asked.
“To some extent, yeah, but I am already content. After all, you organized such a grand wedding today. It’s
the most glorious day I’ve had in years. I never expected you to be such an influential person.
“How could someone with such a remarkable background continue to work part-time as a delivery man in
my company?” Willow responded.
“That’s true, but this time, I got myself a good opportunity. Going to the frontlines in South Aridlands
might give me a chance to make military achievements. Perhaps then, I could truly become someone
much more impressive,” Caspian replied.
“I don’t need you to become some remarkable figure, and don’t need you to achieve great military feats.
I just want you to come back safely,” Willow shyly said, lowering her head.
“Okay, I promise I will come back safely,” Caspian replied.
Willow’s worries were completely unnecessary. As the Lord of Diadem Hall, he had experienced
countless battles and had witnessed various situations.
Just then, Willow noticed some bloodstains on Caspian’s right arm. Surprised, she asked, “What happened? Why are you bleeding?”
Caspian finally noticed that his clothes had been soaked in blood. He hesitated for a moment but realized,
he couldn’t hide it any longer. “On our way back, John and I were ambushed by enemy forces. That’s how I
got injured.”
“What? You encountered such a dangerous situation on your way back?” Willow exclaimed in disbelief
“Yes, it was an assassination attempt that caused the delay in our return,” Caspian explained.
“Is it serious? Let me have a look,” Willow asked with deep concern.
“It’s nothing-it’s just a minor wound., I’ve already taken care of it,” Caspian reassured her.
“Take off your suit. Let me see your injuries!” Willow, seeing the persistent bleeding, found it hard to
believe that Caspian had merely suffered a minor flesh wound.
Caspian was somewhat reluctant, but Willow had already taken off his clothes.
Soon, Willow saw that the shirt Caspian was wearing was completely stained in red. His arm was soaked
in blood, with fresh blood still seeping through.
Willow was even more shocked as she observed. It took her the entire day to realize the extent of
Caspian’s injuries.
“You were shot by a bullet, and yet you insisted on going ahead with the wedding. Couldn’t we have
postponed it for a day?” Willow’s heart ached for Caspian.
“It’s alright. I didn’t want to break my promise, and I didn’t want to disappoint you. I promised you a
wedding today, and it had to be today,” Caspian responded.
Tears welled up in Willow’s eyes as she felt a mix of emotions in her heart, primarily feeling touched by
Caspian’s actions.
She never expected Caspian to endure such a severe injury just to honor his promise.
Willow suddenly recalled the incident at the hotel earlier. Back then, Caspian’s face had turned pale,
