Chapter 1541: Chapter 1541: Liver Pain
The more Cherry thought about it, the more she felt it was true.
Gavin Graves didn’t want her anymore!
Tears welled up in her eyes, finally overflowing uncontrollably.
Her heart was painfully sad, yet she stubbornly held back her sobs, lying in the hospital bed silently weeping, looking utterly pitiful.
When she was obedient, she was like honey, sweet and comforting.
But once she got emotional, she was a bee, always stinging at your heart!
Gavin Graves really couldn’t handle her, so he asked the nurse to bring another bed over and set it up against the wall.
“Alright, stop crying,” Gavin softly coaxed her, “I’ll rest here.”
She glanced at the bed and sniffed, “So far away!”
Gavin pushed the bed closer to her.
She still kept crying.
Gavin’s head was pounding with pain, and eventually, he pushed the two beds together nearly forming a double bed, which made her beam with delight!
Out of habit, she wanted him to hold her, stretching out her arm, seeing the thick bandage at the end, she then remembered she was missing a hand, awkwardly hiding that arm behind her back.
After hesitating for a moment, she brought her arm out again, and whined to him, “Gavin, my hand hurts.”
Gavin’s tone was indifferent, even a bit cold, “The hand’s gone, how can it still hurt?”
Cherry corrected herself, “My arm hurts.”
Gavin gazed at her arm wrapped thickly like a dumpling, his eyes deep and voice heavy, “Cherry, I’m not young anymore, can you please stop tormenting me like this in the future, okay?”
If this keeps happening, he seriously doubted he would suffer sudden death…
Even if not, he’d be prematurely middle-aged, right? He felt worn out recently.
Cherry’s eyes showed guilt, yet she muttered quietly, “I didn’t know before… having one less hand would be this inconvenient…”
“Enough,” Gavin said, clutching his abdomen, he felt a liver pain.
Though chastised, Cherry was still delighted that Gavin was willing to stay with her.
The two lay side by side to sleep.
Cherry, with an IV drip, insisted on leaning against Gavin, feeling the warmth of his body, inhaling his scent, she felt secure, cozy… and soon fell asleep.
In that state between sleep and wakefulness, she felt Gavin gently stroking her hair, running his fingers through it strand by strand, causing a ticklish sensation.
Thinking to herself: What’s so nice about hair? Touch my chest instead.
She twisted her body, instinctively rubbing her chest against him to make it easier for him, yet after waiting a while, there was no response from him.
Cherry was about to fall asleep again, feeling exhausted after being injured… Eh, why did her face feel wet?
Never mind… too sleepy…
…
The next day, Purple Summers came to the hospital to visit Cherry again.
Gavin went to the attending doctor’s office, and in the ward, Purple Summers and Cherry chatted about the captain.
“Remember the story of the fallen angel they talked about last time? The captain is the girl’s father.”
Cherry suddenly realized, “So he really came for revenge!”
“That man is a retired navy officer, after his wife’s suicide, he never stopped searching for his missing daughter, eventually learning about the Under The Rose organization, and then finding ways to infiltrate it.”
Purple Summers shook her head in amazement, “It’s hard to imagine, he planned this revenge for a full ten years… Throughout these years, he would encounter the Stan Brothers at every annual auction, even brushing past them, yet each time he held back, until the time was right to finally strike.”
Cherry couldn’t help but marvel, “Alexander Summers investigated this so quickly, it’s only been a day.”
“It’s because the captain turned himself in to his boss, and this information was bought by Alexander Summers from the ship, it shouldn’t be false.”
“Why turn himself in? Would his boss send him to the Stan Family?”
“I thought so initially, but unexpectedly the big boss pardoned him, not only not punishing him but allowing him to continue as captain,” Purple Summers remarked, “Originally alone in the world, now that he’s avenged himself, with no ties left, he should serve this big boss wholeheartedly in the future.”
