Chapter 1192Kingsley was wearing a long, light blue trench coat and Sherman was lying in his arms. His breathing was ragged and rapid, "Wake up! Wake up, Sherman!" Finally, she managed to open her heavy eyelids with difficulty and saw Kingsley's face. His handsome face looked haggard and gloomy at that time. There was pale stubble on his chin. He looked very anxious. He kept patting Sherman's face. Sherman felt her throat dry and sore. She coughed softly and reached out to take his hand. Then she said in a hoarse voice, "You're hurting me, honey." At once, Kingsley's tall, strong body tensed up. He didn't speak or move. He just stared at her without blinking. His eyes were dark, peaceful, yet deep as pools of water. He seemed calm, but his heaving chest gave away his emotions. Sherman was a little uncomfortable with the way he looked at her. She felt a little nervous. She looked down and noticed that her wounds had been dressed and she was wearing a jacket. Ap
Chapter 1193They dared not stop Kingsley. Kingsley hastily rushed into the woods, in spite of the fire, the heavy smoke, and the pungent smell of burning. Lee and the other subordinates followed Kingsley into the woods. Lee almost tripped and crawled on the ground by the stretched branches several times. But Kingsley strode forward, his face grim, his brows furrowed, and kept calling Sherman's name. Kingsley's trench coat was cut by the branched and his handsome face was covered with ashes. He looked as if he had crawled out of a pile of ashes. Several times on their way, charred trunks came crashing down, and once a trunk smashed on Mr. Wright's shoulder. After that, his arm drooped at his side and did not move for hours. That strike must have hurt him badly. Not only Lee but all the other subordinates were worried about Kingsley. Lee asked, "Mr. Wright, should you go out first and let the doctor check you out? We will continue to search for Ms. Holmes."
Chapter 1194Lee couldn’t help hesitating for a moment. He felt it was really inappropriate for him to relay Sherman’s words to Kingsley, because it would sound like he was confessing his love for Kingsley. This was rather awkward.However, urged by Sherman, he had to call Kingsley.After making up his mind, Lee dialed the phone. Kingsley answered the call, but he immediately hung up after saying, “Don’t call me again if there is nothing necessary.”Sherman flew into a rage and ordered in an annoyed tone, “Call him again!”Lee was so scared that he almost threw his mobile phone on the ground. Pulling a long face, he dialed the phone again. This time, Sherman directly grabbed the phone from him and said pitifully, “Kingsley.”However, as soon as she called out his name, Kingsley hung up again. It turned out that he was unwilling to hear another word from her.Sherman called him again and said affectionately, “I really miss Cody. I haven’t seen him for a whole day. ““He has fallen aslee
Chapter 1195“You must be burning with rage and even feel disappointed in me…” Sherman tried to describe his feelings at the moment. Then she softened her tone and said, “But I am trying to make you happy now…”“Make me happy?” Kingsley’s face darkened, and his black coat added a touch of gloominess to him. Pursing his thin lips, he turned around and left directly without saying anything.Frowning, Sherman felt her head throbbing painfully. She immediately ran out of the ward, got into the car and asked Lee to catch up with Kingsley as quickly as possible.But she was a step behind. When she arrived, the apartment door was just slammed shut by Kingsley.“Kingsley, I really know I was wrong. But I have a reason to do this!” she said.Kingsley didn’t say anything.“Kingsley, I am too tired to stand upright now. My legs go limp and I’m going to fall to the ground. Ah!” She then let out a scream.He was taking off his coat now. Upon hearing this, he stopped his action, with his right hand
Chapter 1196"The speakerphone was turned on, and I faintly heard a man's curse. It sounded familiar..." Kingsley's words reminded Sherman that Luke had spilled the glass of water he was carrying and the hot water was spilled on the back of his hand, so Luke muttered a curse. Sherman leaned over and hugged Kingsley, reclining against him like a cute kitten. "Don't be mad at me, okay?" "OK." Kingsley answered. He told Sherman to sit back. How could he really be mad at her? Especially under that circumstances, Sherman did the right thing. Immediately, Sherman chuckled, "You know what? You look so grim! You've really freaked me out!" Staring at her, Kingsley spoke, "You felt scared?" "I was scared when you were so stern to me. I don't like it when you treat me that way." She said, "Also, what are you going to do about Luke?" Hearing the name, Kingsley's eyes turned cold, without a trace of emotion, dark and freezing. After a momen
Chapter 1197"I've seen the doctor. I'm fine. I just need to rest for a few days..." Kingsley deliberately said, afraid that Sherman would be worried about him.But Sherman was still worried about him. She bit her lips and stroked his shoulder gently. He must have been badly hurt in the past!"Honey, can you stop your flirtatious action?" He whispered. Til now, he wasn't angry anymore."Flirtatious?" She frowned.Breathing slowly, Kingsley stood up, sat directly across from her, and said, "But I can feel it..."Sherman froze. She wasn't that nervous but smiled, "What's your feeling?""Do you want to have a look?" Kingsley looked between his legs with dark eyes.She instinctively followed his gaze and saw something bulging under his suit pants.Sherman blushed, glared at him, and said, "Why didn't I find you like this before? Did you pretend to be a gentleman in the past? In fact, you have been disguising yourself, and I was fooled by you.""Actually, it's a normal thing for a
Chapter 1198Livia went to the police station. She was shocked when she saw Natalie because Natalie had lost a lot of weight in a short time and her high cheekbones were very prominent."What's wrong?" Natalie said weakly. She didn't even have the strength to speak."I used all your money to pay for your grandma's medical expenses. Your uncle doesn't want to take care of her. She is still in the hospital. But now I don't have any money." Livia said.Natalie was silent for a moment before saying, "I'll give you a phone number. You can ask her for money."Livia noted the number on her phone and asked Natalie, "What should I say to her? What should I address her?""That's the woman who gave birth to me but didn't raise me. After she gave birth to me, she took advantage of her youth and beauty to be with a rich man, and then she left me." Natalie said indifferently, "Since I could remember, I’ve treated her as a dead person."Natalie had received money from that woman twice in her l
Chapter 1199After Kingsley’s parents and grandfather heard that something had happened to Sherman, they came straight over from Lanechett.Although they were told that Sherman was safe, they still felt worried about her. They insisted on coming over to visit Sherman overnight. They didn’t feel reassured until they saw that Sherman was fine.Sherman told them the whole story. There was a long silence.Kingsley's mother said, "Since Luke has admitted he is wrong. Why not just give him one more chance? I feel pitiful for Sherman. But we owe the Benningtons. From now on, we are no longer in debt to the Bennington family. I will no longer be soft with Luke if he does something harmful to us again. Sherman, I'm so sorry for having you suffer all this because of us."Sherman shook her head and said, “No worries. I think the same as you, Mom."Kingsley’s father then said, "I think the same as you too. We'd better persuade Kingsley to let Luke off the hook. But Luke has crossed the line
