Semua Bab My Invincible Husband Has Returned: Bab 2381 - Bab 2390

The same day, Timothy stopped by to visit Liam, on behalf of the entire Grand Pendragon Department. He had brought with him an array of rare, expensive herbs as gifts for Liam.Timothy felt a weight lift off his shoulders when he saw that Liam was recovering well. He sat down next to Liam's bed and said solemnly, "Liam, I'm sure you've received His Majesty's orders as well. The Yeagers are to be left to their own devices for now. His Majesty met up with the elders of the Yeager family a few days ago and issued a formal warning to them. They will have to think twice before making another move for the foreseeable future."A glimmer of malice flashed through Liam's eyes upon hearing this. He raised his brows and said, his voice laced with disdain, "Why? Is His Majesty afraid of the Yeagers?"Truth be told, Liam still harbored a grudge toward the King over the recent events. Everyone knew that Prince Faber was responsible for Celena's torture, and yet the King had demanded Liam to forgi

Nasir knew he was not talking about their game at all but about Liam and the Yeagers. He was momentarily stumped. After a long silence, he lifted his head to glance at the King and replied, "Your Majesty, I think that the Yeagers are too powerful. From what I understand, their influence spans across several states and over a hundred cities here in Biskeland. Unfortunately, if Liam decides to take them on by himself, I'm afraid it will end terribly. If he does not wish to destroy them but merely punish them for their crimes, then I have full confidence that he will succeed!"The King nodded in agreement. He gazed at the chessboard and said, "You're right. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Liam stands no chance if he attempts to wipe out the entire Yeager clan altogether, but if all he wishes is to give them a taste of their own medicine… then I think he may just succeed. However…"He turned to glance at Nasir with a look of bemusement. "What do you think will happen if I give him a lit

"Liam…" Celena muttered, staring at Liam. Her eyes were etched with worry as she gazed at the layers of bandages wrapped around his bare chest. She could tell Liam was lying. The layers of gauze, the blood spattered across them, and the lack of color in his face indicated to her that he had suffered a serious, perhaps even life-threatening, injury. She knew full well that he had gotten injured because of her. "Liam…" she called out once more. Her heart ached with pain and remorse. She could not hold it in any longer. Sobbing, she said to Liam, "I'm sorry, Liam, this is all my fault. None of this would've happened if I hadn't attended that stupid conference. You wouldn't have gotten hurt if it wasn't for me."I'm the reason you got injured, right? And on your chest, of all places… It must have hurt terribly…" Celena, like always, had zeroed in on other people's suffering instead of her own, and blamed other people's misfortune on herself. What a kind, selfless woman she was, and

Her voice was soft, laced with embarrassment and the slightest hint of annoyance. Liam was only teasing her, and had no intention of making her angry at all, so he quickly apologized and turned Celena around to apply the salve onto her chest. Celena had never felt more embarrassed in her life. She kept her head low and dared not to meet Liam's eye when he did this. After a while, she was suddenly aware of how silent Liam was being, and lifted her head to glance at him. She was surprised to find him staring at her, his bloodshot eyes etched with pain.Celena forgot all about their little slight and placed a hand on Liam's arm to comfort him. "Darling, I'm fine now. I know the wounds look terribly, but they don't hurt anymore."Liam paused in the middle of applying the salve and said, trying to disguise his sorrow, "I'm sorry, darling, for putting you through so much…"Celena smiled, then inched over and pressed a kiss onto Liam's lips. "I don't want to hear any of this in the fut

They had barely stood up when a silhouette loomed through the shadows, trudging toward them. The intruder's body was silhouetted against the sunlight, and the Stones could not make out who it was. They shouted, "Who are you? How dare you break and enter? This is the Stones' residence! Show yourself!"Liam sneered, then strode out of the shadows into the full light. Smirking, he made his way over and declared, "It is I."The color drained from their faces when they saw who it was. Cheryl, in particular, looked as white as a ghost. She pointed a trembling finger at Liam and screeched, "Liam? What are you doing here? Weren't you arrested?"Yafe was just as shocked as his daughter. He asked, sounding baffled, "What are you doing here? Weren't you tossed in jail for being a traitor and Celena a government spy?"What was going on here? Celena had been arrested for assisting Liam, so what was Liam, the mastermind of this devious coup, doing here? All of a sudden, an idea formed in Yafe'
