Chapter 130
“Your leg is injured, so you have to be careful. The doctor on the island already checked on your injury. It’s just a scratch, so it won’t be a major issue. The only problem was that an infection caused a fever, but now that the fever had broken and your injury was tended to, you can rest assured.”
“Did you just say this island belongs to Pierre?”
With a nod, the woman replied, “Yes. Mr. Fowler brought you here early in the morning. You were still in a coma, so you might not have much of a recollection.”
Selena knew they couldn’t possibly be on another island since they got to the mansion before dawn, so she realized instantly that they were still on the same island, which could only mean that Pierre had lied to her. “That rascal!” No wonder he knows about the existence of this island! It is in fact his private island! “Where is he?”
“Mr. Fowler is currently in a meeting with his subordinates.”
Lifting the duvet off herself, Selena yelled, “I’ll need to confront him about this!” How dare he even suggest marrying me under such circumstances! He was messing with me! Never have I ever met someone as shameless as that b*stard!
“Understood. You can come get me if you need me. By the way, I am Sandra Yaxley, so you can call me Mrs. Yaxley.”
“Sure!”
With her guidance, Selena arrived at the stairwell. Seeing that the living room was by the stairs as soon as she got down, she didn’t need Mrs. Yaxley to lead her there. The wound on her leg didn’t deter her movements, so she descended the stairs without hesitation. When she was about to reach the ground floor, a few people walked past her in front of her.
“I sure felt wronged! It was Mr. Fowler who told us to shoot, so he shouldn’t have blamed us for not aiming accurately in the dark!”
“You’re right, but you’d better keep quiet, or else he’ll kill you if he hears you!”
Quickly covering her mouth, Selena recognized that man when the man’s profile was shown to her while he turned to face his colleague. Coupled with their conversation, she was certain now that they were all Pierre’s men, and the incident was actually a show that he set up. It took a while before she regained her senses. What is he even planning to do? Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
After that, she slowly walked toward the living room. Pierre was still standing there while feeling vexed, but a smile bloomed on his face when he saw Selena. “You’re finally awake!”
“Why would you tell me this is a deserted island when it’s your private island? You even teased me about us living in the wilderness as a couple! Are you crazy?” Selena was irked that she was constantly being toyed with by the man; it made her feel like she was a pet monkey of his.
Abruptly, he reached out to hold her hand when Selena wasn’t expecting it. Initially, she assumed he wouldn’t be able to do anything to her when there was a sofa between them, but he had such commendable strength that he managed to flip her over from the other side of the sofa to make her land on him.
“Why do you seem disappointed about not being able to marry me then and there?”
Her face flushed a brilliant red when she heard that. “I’m not disappointed at all! Let go of me!” She struggled to get up, but she wasn’t able to move due to her awkward position.
“You’re right. I am sick in some measure.” There was a frown on his face.
“What?” Selena was startled by his revelation. Does he mean he is ill? What kind of illness does he have?
By the next instant, he whispered into her ear, “I am lovesick.”
“You b*stard!” Selena had a feeling that she was once again being toyed with.
As she struggled to get to her feet, he suddenly caught her limbs. “Do you know what the possible consequences are when you’re thrashing about in a man’s arms?”
Upon hearing that, she was startled, as she could distinctly feel that she had come into contact with something that was scorching hot, which caused her face to flush. “You b*stard!”
