After saying that, Dillon did not bother to talk anymore nonsense and buried his face in Ruth’s neck.Ruth’s eyes turned cold. She tried her best to turn her wrists.She slowly gave up resisting, as if she was giving up. When Dillon let go of her hands, she grabbed him by the throat.Her right hand pressed the delicate watch on her wrist, and a thin needle flew out.Dillon sensed the danger and immediately tilted his head. The thin needle passed by his head and pierced his shoulder.The pain enraged him, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his almond eyes. He slapped Ruth again.“Since you don’t like the easy way, we’ll do this the hard way!”Bang!The door opened after being violently kicked.Dillon immediately turned his head and looked over impatiently. “Who asked you to come in? F*ck off…”Before Dillon could finish his sentence, a slender figure rushed in. Dillon did not even have time to be shocked before he was kicked off the bed.Abel looked at Ruth on the white be
It seemed that Dillon did not understand what he had done wrong.Abel wanted to get up, but Ruth stretched her hand and grabbed the edge of his clothes. Her movement was as light as a cat’s.He quickly sat down and looked down at her. “What’s wrong? Does your body hurt?”Ruth shook her head. There were tear marks on her face, but she was much calmer now. She wrapped an arm around Abel’s neck and got up with his help. “Take me away. I don’t want to stay here.”Her voice was hoarse, but it had regained its prideful edge. She hugged Abel with complete dependence and trust.Abel grabbed her waist tightly and pursed his lips.He did not respond to her immediately. “Which hand did he use to touch you?”Ruth remembered it very well and answered without hesitation. “Left hand.” Abel nodded. He bent down and lifted her into his arms. When he passed by the bathroom, he coldly said, “Break his left hand.”Kallan did not answer.He initially wanted to dissuade Abel. After all, Frank dot
Ruth subconsciously took the ice pack.She sensed his movements, and the shame she felt a while ago returned. She curled up. “I can do it…”Before she could finish, she slipped and went under the water because she didn’t have the strength nor speed to catch herself in time.A big hand pulled her out. Ruth choked on water and coughed in embarrassment. She grabbed Abel’s arm with both hands as if it was a straw. Abel’s clothes were completely wet.When he saw the scene in front of him and felt the touch on his arm, he closed his eyes and suppressed his stirred emotions.He was not as calm as he appeared on the surface. He hastily helped Ruth wash her body and picked a bath towel to wrap her up. However, Ruth backed away uncooperatively.“I don’t feel well. Let me stay for a little longer,” she said under her breath. She sounded aggrieved and weak, and her voice even trembled.Abel’s heart ached, and he looked at her for a long time. Then, he put his hands on her shoulders and be
Abel was not as surprised as Ruth imagined. He only frowned and turned her body to check it. “Did you hurt yourself? This won’t do. Let’s go to the hospital for a checkup.”He thought she had no strength because she had just woken up. After hearing what she said, he became worried.Then, he bent down to pick her up and walked out.Ruth did not want to go to the hospital, but had no strength to resist. She could only say helplessly, “I’m fine. I just inhaled some knock-out drugs, so I have no energy. It’s too embarrassing to go to the hospital!” She had already embarrassed herself in front of Apollo. She did not want a fourth person to see her miserable state.However, Abel would not do as she wished. “I won’t let outsiders know about it.”Ruth wanted to resist, but she knew it would be useless.The Rolls-Royce rushed to the private hospital in the dark.After receiving the message, Tom rushed over and personally gave her a physical examination.He heaved a sigh of relief when
There was no one besides the Rivas family who could design such an exquisite hidden weapon.They were also good at using poison and did not lie about it.Tom did not dare to mock Ruth indirectly anymore and asked with a serious expression, “Did you think about what you would do if the hospital found out? And what if he really died?”“Excessive self-defense. Abel can take care of it.” She would not be scared even if he could not handle it.She heard some footsteps.Abel came back.Tom quickly turned to him. “Send him to this hospital. You’ll get in trouble if you send him to any other.”“I know. He’ll arrive later.”Tom was speechless.Hah. It turned out that the two had planned everything.Tom waved at them and got up to leave without being told.However, he dawdled. He looked at Ruth’s wrist and did not go. “That thing looks so cool. Give me one.”He asked for one righteously and confidently.However, he was talking to Abel.He did not even think about it. Such a rare th
As Ruth spoke, she supported her body with her hands on the bed and slowly got up from the headboard.Abel got up to help her sit up straight.Ruth spoke with a serious expression. After feeling unwell for a bit, she became energetic again, and Abel’s mood also improved. “Are you praising yourself or me?”“You, of course. But I’m also smart, so I’m praising myself too.”Abel smiled and said nothing. Then, he suddenly changed the topic. “But was this watch really designed by your friend?”The watch’s style was actually very similar to Seema’s style. That was why Abel asked that.“Yeah. Her name is Kaylen. I met her abroad, but she is a Sommersettian. Her name here was Dulcie Rivas.” Ruth did not hide it from Abel and told him everything.Abel nodded in satisfaction. He could tell that it was a girl from the name.Besides, he had heard of Kaylen. She worked in Seema’s workshop. Since she was Ruth’s friend, it was not surprising that Ruth could get wedding rings designed by Seem
Kallan imitated Apollo and whispered to him. However, he did not tell Apollo that Abel had called him and specifically asked him to send Dillon to Tom’s private hospital.Tom was a well-known doctor in the Imperial City. Abel would not ask him to help for a b*stard like Dillon.There had to be something fishy going on.However, the members of the Blakewell family were already sitting at the hospital, so they could only play it by ear.The door of the emergency room opened.Dillon’s parents immediately rushed to the doctor. “How was the operation? Is our son okay?”Tom removed the mask and politely explained everything. “The left shoulder blade has split, and the nerve tissue has become necrotic. After the operation, his life is no longer in danger. However, we couldn’t restore his arm since he was sent over too late.”Dillon’s mother’s face turned pale after hearing the news. She could hardly stand still.Frank also came over in disbelief. “Wasn’t it a fracture? Why was his lif
Many people from the Blakewell family were watching Abel.Frank was among them and knew who Ruth was the moment she went to the company.Initially, he did not believe it and thought Abel would not fall in love with a notorious woman like her, so he did not expose it. He thought that as long as Abel did not bring Ruth home, he would wait and see how things developed for the time being. Who would have known she would turn the family upside down before she visited them?“Bring that woman here right now! Bring her over! I want her to kneel and apologize to Dillon!”“Just apologize? Dillon became like this because of her. She must pay a much heavier price for it!”“Yeah, Dillon is still young. What will he have to do if he can’t use his left hand anymore?”As a matter of course, Frank and Dillon’s family condemned Ruth out of righteous indignation.They did not think that Dillon had only himself to blame.Apollo was so angry that he could not say anything.Kallan frowned and tho
