Chapter 571 I Really Know I Was Wrong
Last Updated:
2025-04-04 18:00:26The thug, clearly realizing he couldn't defeat Marvin, became desperate and turned his murderous intent toward Annabelle.
Just as the blade was about to pierce her throat, Marvin stepped in front of her, wrapping his arms around her and shielding her with his back.
Annabelle heard the sickening sound of the knife plunging into Marvin's back and the pained grunt he made.
"Marvin!" she cried out in shock.
The thug yanked the knife out quickly, and Annabelle could smell more blood in the air.
The thug staggered back a couple of steps, breathing heavily, as though he were frightened. Then, he turned and ran, stumbling off into the distance.
Annabelle didn't have time to care about the thug. "Let me see... your injury."
She needed to check the wound so she could try to stop the bleeding.
Marvin, however, just held her tighter and forced a weak smile. "Anna, you’re worried about me."
"... Stop talking," she snapped, clea

Annabelle suddenly woke up with a start. The white ceiling and the strong smell of disinfectant made her realize she was in a hospital.Why had she dreamed such a thing?Could it be that, deep down, she had begun to waver a little toward Marvin?But she quickly dismissed the thought.Of course, she knew that Marvin had been trying to make up for his mistakes at the engagement banquet, hoping to be with her as husband and wife. But the past was the past.She already had Kendrick by her side, and there could never be anything between them again.Once someone's heart is taken by another, even the best of others can only be met with a regretful "thank you, I'm sorry."But where was the person who had taken her heart right now?Looking around the room, it was a private one, and she was the only one there.She rubbed her temples and struggled to sit up, glancing over at the bedside table.It only held her personal belon

Kendrick felt both guilty and heartbroken. He didn’t say much, but went directly to the hospital room.By the time he arrived, Annabelle had already fallen asleep.Kendrick sat at her bedside, staring at her pale face, his heart aching.He gently stroked her face, thinking to himself that this time he hadn’t been by her side. She must have been terrified. Waking up and finding him absent—she must be even more heartbroken now.The thought tightened his chest.He placed the supper he had brought for her on the bedside table and glanced at the things there.Three shopping bags, bloodstains on them. The blood must have been from Marvin.Just the thought that when Annabelle was in danger, he hadn’t been there, while Marvin stepped up instead, left Kendrick feeling frustrated.But then, his gaze fell on the brand of the shopping bags. It was the same brand of shoes Annabelle had wanted to buy.He couldn’t help but smile helple

Kendrick's pupils contracted slightly. After a brief silence, he spoke coldly, "No matter what you know about Emilia, it won’t threaten me. Don’t think that just because you know about her, you can ruin my relationship with Annabelle."He paused for a moment, stood up, and added, "After all, you’ve already lost your place."Without glancing at Marvin, he turned and walked out of the room.He hadn’t expected Marvin to know about Emilia, but there was nothing for him to be afraid of. After all, he had planned to let Annabelle meet Emilia at some point anyway.Kendrick returned to Annabelle’s room, finding her still asleep. He took off his jacket and hung it on the coat rack.Sitting down beside her bed, he was about to check if the supper he’d brought was still warm when he noticed a small detail that made him raise an eyebrow.When he had placed the food earlier, the direction of the box wasn’t like this. It had obviously been moved.T

The little woman nodded against his shoulder."Are you mad at me?"She didn’t answer, just remained in that position.Kendrick patiently explained, "The reason I didn’t come to see you right away was because I had to deal with the assailant. The situation was complicated and required me to step in. I called the hospital and they said you were fine, just resting, so I went to the police station first."As she listened to his explanation, Annabelle’s lips slowly curled into a smile.Kendrick couldn’t see her expression, but he could feel the subtle shift in her mood, even though she remained silent."In fact, when I first heard you were in the hospital, I almost panicked. My heart was definitely racing at 280 beats per minute."As he continued talking, his words turned a bit more playful, and Annabelle couldn’t help but hit him lightly on the shoulder, wanting to pull away from him.But just as she t

Annabelle tilted her head slightly and said firmly, "I don't think you would lie to me."Kendrick smiled. "Why do you think that?"He picked out the shrimp wontons from his bowl, as the pink shrimp was easy to spot, and he knew she liked that flavor.Annabelle looked at the wonton he handed over, then returned a different one of another flavor."Stop giving them to me. Didn’t you skip lunch?" she said."I was just worried you’d say I don’t care about you," he teased her playfully.Annabelle pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed for having acted childishly earlier, her cheeks turning a bit pink."Who told you to take so long to come see me…" she mumbled.Kendrick chuckled and gave her another wonton. "You still haven’t answered me. Why do you think I wouldn’t lie to you?""Because you treat your bodyguards and assistants so well, how could you be heartless to the veterans of th

Annabelle let out a small "Eh?" with a hint of panic.Before Kendrick arrived, she had dreamt that she was engaged to Marvin. In the dream, he was tall and handsome, and when they danced together, his gaze was tender. For a brief moment, she felt a tiny flutter of affection, thinking that maybe her fiancé wasn't so bad after all.Of course, it was all just a fleeting moment.Because soon, the "old fox" Kendrick showed up, questioning her: "I’ve risked my life to save you, so why are you giving yourself to Marvin?"That single line shattered her illusion and woke her up immediately."You’re even monitoring what dreams I have now?" she asked, trying to understand how he knew about it.Kendrick furrowed his brow, then pulled her waist toward him, hugging her tightly."You dreamed about that guy again?" He glared at her, his tone laced with danger.Annabelle flinched a little."But I dreamt of you too," sh

Annabelle knew that Kendrick didn’t like hearing about Young Master.But if she kept hiding things from him, like she did last time when she went to meet him without telling him, it would only deepen the tension between them. She didn’t have anything to hide, so she decided to just lay it out there. Of course, if he didn’t want to hear it, that was fine too.Kendrick took her hand, his tone calm. "Go ahead, what’s going on with your Young Master?"His slightly teasing tone didn’t sound particularly upset, which eased Annabelle's worry.So she continued.She explained that last time at the amusement park, when Young Master gave her some medicine again, she felt grateful. He had told her that next month was his birthday, and if she really wanted to thank him, she could join him for a birthday dinner. Young Master rarely asked anything of her. In the past, he had saved her life and taught her medical knowledge, so this sm

Several hours earlier, after Julissa and Annabelle parted ways, Julissa was about to take the subway home when she received a call from her boyfriend, Zane.He wanted to invite her to a midnight movie.It was something Julissa had once told him—she dreamed of watching a late-night movie with the person she loved, then walking home together under the moonlight. Her inner romantic had always longed to do this, but it had never come to fruition. It seemed Zane remembered her words.Since Dr. Carter was free that evening and Julissa had just finished shopping, she was still in the mood for a bit of fun. She immediately agreed.The cinema was in another shopping district, so Julissa decided to take a taxi.As she stood by the roadside trying to hail a cab, all the cars were occupied. Just as she was starting to freeze, a black Maybach pulled up in front of her.The window on the passenger side rolled down, and she saw Scott sitting in the d

“Alright…” Annabelle gritted her teeth and forced herself to carry on, carefully scraping away the necrotic flesh from Kendrick’s wound. To ensure it was thoroughly cleaned, she didn’t hold back.Kendrick never uttered another sound of pain after his initial reaction. While she focused entirely on treating him, he concentrated solely on her—watching her intently. Only by keeping his eyes on her could he distract himself from the pain.She truly had a strong stomach. To be able to handle such a gruesome wound…Or had she seen something even worse before?As he gazed at her delicate features, it was hard to imagine that she had once survived a fire. But he knew that behind her ear, there was a burn scar. Anna had told him that it was an oversight during her treatment—otherwise, it wouldn’t have scarred at all.She finished cleaning one wound, but there was still another. She needed a short break—and clearly, so did Kendrick.He had broken into a cold sweat, so Annabelle handed him a cup

Kendrick hadn’t used much force earlier. In fact, he could never bear to actually hurt her. He had only flicked her forehead as a small punishment for being too smug about her medical skills.After a brief pause, he asked, “Did Gauge do this?”Annabelle pouted and nodded. While disinfecting the small knife, she said, “He flicked my forehead, so I flicked his. But mine didn’t hurt, while his did—so I ended up with a lump. And when I was running, I even cut my foot…”So that was what happened!Kendrick was furious. His chest tightened, and he coughed violently.With each cough, blood seeped from his wound. Annabelle quickly patted his back to soothe him.“There’s no need to get so worked up—it was just playful teasing.”How could he not be worked up?!Kendrick thought, My precious little rabbit—how could I let just anyone flick her forehead like that?Just imagining the scene made his jealousy flare uncontrollably.Without hesitation, he grabbed his phone and called Jaime.“Cancel Gauge

Annabelle continued explaining that while repeated infections in the wound might not be immediately fatal, modern medical treatments could only slow down the deterioration.However, the wound would never fully heal. As the area of necrosis expanded, the pain would become unbearable, forcing the victim to rely on painkillers.Once the body developed a tolerance to painkillers, the relentless combination of pain and itching could drive a person insane.To endure such suffering, one might have to resort to stronger sedatives, and once dependency formed, they would be no different from an addict.Even then, the wound would continue to fester. Eventually, after prolonged drug abuse, the body would begin to collapse.This was a slow and cruel method of killing.As she spoke, she quickly wiped the back of her hand across her eyes, clearing her tear-blurred vision.Pointing at his wound, she told Kendrick that from the odor and the way the tissue was deteriorating, she could confirm that trac

Kendrick didn’t respond to her words. Instead, he simply wiped away her tears.Ryan was indeed a ruthless man. He had merely hidden that side of himself from her, showing her only his gentler facade.If she found out that the person she had trusted and admired so much was actually as terrifying as a demon, would her beliefs crumble? Would her trust in others shatter once again?Kendrick didn’t mind if she kept a special place in her heart for “Young Master.” But he couldn’t bear to let her discover a truth that would overturn everything she knew.And now, a new worry had surfaced—if he told her that Young Master was actually Ryan, would she naively try to confront him?The price of making a deal with the devil was something neither of them could afford, Anna…A thousand unspoken thoughts swirled in his mind, but he couldn’t voice any of them. Instead, he turned to gaze out the window.The night was pitch black, obscuring everything from view. Only the sound of the torrential rain and

Annabelle kept nagging at him as she hurried into the bedroom.Watching her retreating figure, her back completely soaked, Kendrick felt a dull ache in his heart.This foolish girl… He had carried her on his back so she wouldn’t get drenched in the rain, yet in the end, she was the one who got completely soaked.He hadn’t planned on telling her about his injuries. He figured he could just rest for a couple of days and recover on his own—no need to let her see it and scare her.But now that the secret was out, there was no point in hiding it anymore. He might as well enjoy the care of his little wife.In the bedroom, Annabelle rummaged through her suitcase and pulled out her small medical kit.Whenever she traveled far, she always carried one with her. She had almost left it behind this time, thinking she wouldn’t need it in the Maldives—but thankfully, she packed it in the end.Inside, she had her own specially formulated hemostatic powder, which was highly effective, along with other

The two continued walking for a while before Kendrick patiently said,“Someone like Ada—she apologized and admitted her mistake. Besides, you already got back at her when we were filming on the cruise. As long as she doesn’t cause you trouble again, I won’t waste my time paying attention to her.”Annabelle then asked, “What about Willie? I noticed your attitude toward him was quite good. Are you planning to work with him in the future?”Kendrick glanced at her and replied, “No. I was just being polite, considering he’s your best friend’s husband.”So that was it…Annabelle couldn’t help but smile. She found Kendrick both principled and deeply considerate.She had always been the type to hold grudges, knowing that showing weakness only invited more bullying.But Kendrick was different.He punished the cunning and the wicked, yet he also knew when to let things go.Like how he would fiercely deal with those who bullied her—but after that, he never pursued them to the point of no return.

Annabelle opened her mouth, wanting to ask if he was okay.But she knew—no matter how many times she said, Put me down, I can walk by myself, Kendrick wouldn't let go.Unless he passed out.Forget it. She decided to stay quiet and let him carry her peacefully, not wanting to distract him.But why did this path feel so long?Would they ever get there?Could Kendrick really hold on?Just as a flood of emotions surged in her heart, he spoke first.“How did you even get hurt?”Annabelle replied, “Mm… I wasn’t wearing shoes on the beach and stepped on broken glass.”“Why weren’t you wearing shoes?”“Sand gets inside. It’s uncomfortable…” She glanced at him worriedly. “You should put me down.”“No.”His chest wound ached, but he refused to show weakness in front of her.He didn’t want her to think that Gauge was more reliable than him.To distract himself from the pain, he decided to keep talking.“When you saw someone else trying to dance with me… were you jealous?”Annabelle’s first insti

“I… just… stepped on something…” Annabelle spoke in broken sentences, struggling as she hopped along.“I’m injured myself, so I can’t carry you,” Kendrick said coldly.Annabelle glanced at him.His tone was icy, clearly intentional—he was still upset about Gauge carrying her earlier.But she could tell that, beneath his annoyance, he was more worried about her than anything else.It wasn’t that he didn’t want to carry her—he simply couldn’t because of his own injury.“It’s just a small wound, it’s fine. I don’t need to be carried,” she reassured him.“Oh? But you had no problem letting Mr. Murphy carry you?”Annabelle wanted to bite her own tongue. “I meant… you don’t have to worry…”Kendrick didn’t respond. Instead, he suddenly stopped walking.“Lift your foot. Let me see.”“No need, let’s just hurry back. The rain’s getting heavier.”Annabelle tried to hop forward again, but Kendrick pulled her back under the umbrella.He shoved the umbrella handle into her hand, then bent down and

Having lost first place, Ada was reminded of another painful defeat—losing the endorsement deal for Murphy Jewelry.She looked over at Annabelle.Everyone was congratulating Annabelle on winning third place, which meant she could stay on the island for five more days with her husband.Some people even urged Kendrick to make sure he kept his promise.Ada clenched her fists.That woman had stolen all the attention from her.As a famous model, she was now being overshadowed, treated like an insignificant nobody.She was fuming inside, wanting to throw a few mocking words at Annabelle, but with both Willie and Kendrick around, she had no choice but to hold back.All she could do was grit her teeth silently.Honestly, Annabelle also felt like her prize was a bit unnecessary.It was sponsored by Kendrick—five extra days on the island.The money was coming out of his pocket anyway, so wasn’t this just shifting funds within their own household?But the real issue was that she didn’t even want
