Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106 I Swear I’ll Stay Away From Linsey!

The room fell silent.

Linsey turned her head slightly, sneaking a glance at Collin’s face. His serious expression held her gaze as he meticulously applied the ointment to her wounds, treating her with the precision reserved for precious objects.

Her heart skipped a beat.

“What’s wrong?” Collin caught her looking and paused, cotton swab in hand. “Did I hurt you?”

“No, you didn’t.” She quickly looked away, her cheeks warming.

After he finished applying the ointment, Linsey lay on her stomach, letting it dry.

With her back to Collin, the only sounds were him cleaning up, the faint scrape of his wheelchair moving across the floor as he went to the en suite bathroom to wash his hands. He returned shortly.

“The ointment has soaked in. You can put your clothes back on now,” he announced. He hesitated, then added, “Don’t worry. I’ll look away.”

She responded with a murmur, cautiously dressing herself before lying back down.

Collin stayed by the bedside, his usually detached eyes now showing a rare warmth as they rested on her. “Get some sleep. I’m right here. No one can hurt you,” he said in a soft tone.

Tucked under the warm blankets, she opened her mouth to say she wasn’t sleepy.

Yet, it might have been Collin’s reassuring presence that enveloped her in a sense of safety. This newfound security slowly drew her into slumber. Her eyelids fluttered a few times before finally closing.

After a while, he listened to the steady rhythm of her breathing, reaching out to snugly tuck the blankets around her. His gaze softened.

But as he thought of the injuries that marred her body, a flash of cold fury sparked in his eyes.

He vowed silently that Felix would pay for this.

The basement at Vista Villa was enveloped in darkness.

The night was deep, the air thick and suffocating within the confines of the prison.

Echoing ominously through the silence, steady footsteps descended the staircase.

Collin, tall and imposing, emerged at the corridor’s entrance. The guards stationed at the basement immediately advanced, their demeanor respectful. “Mr. Riley.”

Confused, Felix lifted his head, only to meet Collin’s icy, expressionless gaze.
