How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Chapter 180

Slowly, all of Morwenna's wounds were treated.

Her left arm was immobilized. A bandage was taped across her forehead.

The knife cuts on her body were all neatly wrapped up.

Her cleansed face, devoid of its usual flush, seemed unnaturally pale, making her appear even more vulnerable and delicate.

Despite being the type who should be protected, she had single-handedly taken down seven burly men just to keep Stuart safe.

After finishing up, Fletcher quietly left, giving the room to the two of them.

Stuart, without a word, started to clean the blood from Morwenna's body. He was now washing her feet, and Morwenna felt a bit panicked.

Stuart, always seeming so superior and unreachable, was now washing her feet. It was unsettling for her.

But her protests were futile. As Stuart's slender fingers gently scrubbed the traces of blood from her ankles, Morwenna curled her toes slightly in her anxiety.

Despite her nervousness, Morwenna noticed the faint blush on Stuart's cheeks as he knelt before her.

Seeing him like this, Morwenna's pale face flushed with color.

After drying her feet, Stuart brought over a fresh set of hospital clothes and reached towards Morwenna's gown.

Morwenna snapped out of her daze. "Stop! Please, stop! It's not proper for us. I can change myself," she protested.

Stuart looked up, "We're married, Morwenna."

Her face turned even redder. "Even so, I mean... Let's have a nurse help me, okay?"

She stuttered, adamant in her refusal. Though she harbored feelings for Stuart, the feelings weren't reciprocated. They weren't truly husband and wife in her eyes. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Frowning, concerned she might hurt herself, Stuart eventually agreed to call a nurse.

Once Morwenna was in clean clothes and her wounds were all treated, possibly due to blood loss or a concussion, she couldn't keep her eyes open any longer and fell asleep.

Stuart sat by her bed, still covered in blood, his expression indifferent, a trace of blood at the corner of his eye, giving him an almost demonic aura.

Meanwhile, Morwenna looked angelic, lying there in the hospital bed.

The devil watching over his angel...

Meanwhile, in the town of Rosefrost Hollow, strange things were happening at Hetfield's Homestead.

Normally absent family members were all present, including Phineas' eldest son, Reuben, who worked for the Hetfield Group like Stuart.

However, Reuben’s capabilities and tactics fell short of Stuart's.

Angrily, Reuben spoke to Norbert, "Grandfather, ever since you supported me a while ago, Stuart has been making things difficult for me. Now, he's neglecting a major client worth billions. No one

knows where he's gone."

Phineas chimed in, "Dad, I know you favored Stuart after my brother passed, but Reuben is also your grandson. It was lucky that Reuben managed to salvage the situation with the client, or the Hetfield Group could have faced significant losses."

Norbert frowned, "Where is Stuart? He wouldn’t just disappear without reason."

With a scoff, Reuben replied, "You know how Stuart is. He has always been reckless and irresponsible, never caring about the family business."

Sensing something was amiss, bodyguard Orson discreetly positioned himself behind Norbert. Morwenna had instructed that no matter what happened, they were to ensure Norbert's safety.
