Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Stella was surprised as she was dragged into Jasper’s arms. When she smelled the seawater on his body, her heart started beating faster for some reason.

He wasn’t her type of man to begin with, so why was she so flustered?

“Your hand is injured,” Jasper said with a pained expression.

“Oh, it’s okay. I might have accidentally scratched myself when I was waving the kitchen knife around,” Stella explained.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“There are a lot of parasites and bacteria in the sea, so it must be cleaned thoroughly. It’s not good if it gets infected. Follow me,” Jasper dragged Stella to the kitchen, wanting to wash her wound with water.

He took a first aid kit, dipped the cotton in some disinfectant, and cleaned her wound.

Allen walked over and asked worriedly, “Are you injured?”

“It’s just a minor injury. It’s nothing,” Stella said as she looked at Jasper.

He applied medicine to her wound attentively and wrapped it three times with gauze, saying, “It’s best if you don’t let your wound come in contact with water. It’ll be fine after the wound heals.”

Stella could sense his deep concern, and it was not an act of hypocrisy. She was a little lost and she didn’t know what to say.

“Stella, let me take a look at it,” Allen held Stella’s hand as he said.

Jasper’s face changed. He lowered his head to tidy the things up and placed them on top of the fridge. He then looked at Allen unhappily. “You aren’t a doctor. Could you even help after taking a look at it?”

Allen didn’t say anything.

“Black, they don’t seem to be following us anymore,” Stella looked at the ship behind them and said.

Jasper also looked at the ship. They were obviously heading west.

Jasper immediately made a phone call, “Vann, it’s Black. Those men in white didn’t chase after us, but there was indeed a man in white who was forced to jump into the sea. He didn’t make it. Yeah, okay, sure.”

Jasper hung up the phone.

Stella asked, “What did he say?”

“He told us to follow them, and he’ll ask for support. These men in white should be involved in other cases,” Jasper said, “I’m going to the steering room now.”

“Don’t get too close to them. They’re extremely fierce,” Allen reminded.

“You’d better go to the lounge now and close the curtains in case they have guns,” Jasper reminded before going to the steering room to stop the automatic voyage.

He sent their location to Vann, and then followed the men in white’s ship manually.

Stella and Allen went to the lounge to close the curtains.

Stella then called Sheldon, “What is with those men in white? What cases are they involved in?”

“This organization only appeared this year, but fishermen would find their corpses almost every month after they appeared. I don’t know what they’re doing, but their impact is notably bad. I went to the database just now and found that there are already six dead men in white this year,” Sheldon replied.

“Did you guys not try to contact the families of the deceased to learn what’s going on?” Stella asked.

“Yes, we did, but the answer we got is that the parents of the deceased didn’t know what’s going on too. All the deceased died of drowning. They didn’t struggle, fight, or leave behind any suicide note. It’s more like they drowned naturally. Therefore, the cases were suspended and no one continued to investigate them.”

“Why are they dressed in white? Isn’t that abnormal? Forget it, I think that I know what’s going on. Let’s continue this topic after capturing them,” Stella said and hung up the phone.

Stella noticed that the yacht seemed to be turning in a different direction, so she called Jasper and asked, “Black, what’s the matter? Are they chasing after us again?”

“No, another big ship is coming. It doesn’t look like an official ship. It might be their accomplice. They might have weapons on that ship. We have to leave now,” Jasper said alertly.

“Alright, okay,” Stella replied.

“There are life jackets under the sofa. Wear it, ask Allen to wear it too,” Jasper said solemnly.

“What about you then?” Stella asked worriedly.

“There’s one in the cockpit. Remember, don’t come out unless it’s absolutely necessary. If you hear gunshots, lie prone on the ground. The area near the sofa is made of titanium alloy. It’s bulletproof,” Jasper instructed.

Stella realized the seriousness of the matter, so she pulled the curtain open and looked outside through the gap of the curtain. A big ship was really chasing them.

All of a sudden, Jasper turned the steering wheel, and Stella fell to the ground.

With a bang, the ship fired a cannon that hit the side of the yacht. The water rippled and splashed, causing the yacht to shake violently.

With another bang, it hit the front of the yacht.

It seemed that the yacht was about to turn over.

“Stella, are you alright?” Allen lay on the ground beside Stella.

“I’m fine, Allen. Are you okay? Remember to take a deep breath and keep your breath stable. Don’t be nervous,” Stella comforted Allen. It would be bad if he were to suffer from an asthma attack right then.

“I’m fine,” Allen held Stella’s hand and took a deep breath.

Stella noticed that his hands were drenched with sweat and said, “We are still half an hour away from the shore, and Vann has already called for support. Even if the ship is overturned, we will be fine as we have our life jackets on. Also, it will take some time for them to board the yacht and capture us, so we are more likely to be rescued.”

Allen smiled.

He would usually get anxious if something like this were to happen to him. He would be worried that he might not be able to see her again and in addition to the nerve-wracking situation, he would surely suffer an asthma attack.

However, she was there with him at that moment, so he was quite at peace. At the very least, he didn’t want to let her worry about him.

“I suddenly thought of a saying, ‘To live or to die, stay hand in hand’.” Allen said, “If we manage to go back safely this time, Stella, will you let me take care of you for the rest of your life?”

Stella smiled, “Are you sure that it’s you who’s going to take care of me for the rest of my life, not the other way around?”

“It’s going to be the other way around indeed,” Allen smiled as he looked at her with burning eyes.

“Allen, even as a friend, I will still take care of you forever. As long as you need me, I will always go to your side,” Stella said firmly.

“What if I want to become something more than a friend?” Allen asked with a smile.

“I want to stay single for a few more years. If you’re waiting for me, then you shouldn’t,” Stella said seriously.

A look of disappointment flitted across Allen’s eyes. He said, “Just pretend that I didn’t say anything then.”

“Alright,” Stella held Allen’s hand. It felt as though she was holding her own hand. She did not have much reaction to it.

However, she got flustered when Jasper grasped her hand before.

Was she interested in Black?

Another bang could be heard, and a cannon hit the back of the yacht and pulled Stella back to her train of thought.

She could feel that their yacht slowing down.

Another bang came from outside, but it was not from around their yacht. It sounded as though it came from far away.

She got up and opened the curtain a little. From the gap of the curtain, she saw two big ships coming over, and the American flag could be seen waving on both the ships. It should be official ships.

Stella called Jasper.

However, he didn’t pick up.

She had a bad feeling that something might have happened to him. She didn’t think much and ran straight out…
