Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
‘Ill go in then.’ Edith took the pole from Dennis, her suspicion of him not lessening even slightly. She always found the young man strange, especially his carrying a knife.
“Your housemaid looks at me like I’m a madman, Dennis commented, finding Edith’s retreating figure amusing. “So, where are we meeting tomorrow?”
‘til let you know once the time and place are confirmed.”
“Okay.”After hanging up, Mirabella explained the situation to Romeo and Clark.
Clark was surprised. “Carol has a biological brother?* “I only found out last night,” Mirabella explained gently. “According to Dennis, they recognized each other a few years ago, but they kept it from the organization.”
“No wonder Carol has been able to hide under the organization’s nose for so long. She has her brother’s help.” Clark glanced at the girl beside him, wondering how long it would be until she woke up.
“You said earlier that you have a plan to deal with those people?” Romeo asked Mirabella.
“What is it?”
Mirabella smirked and said, “When Inferno Clan gets news of our return tonight, they’ll surely send people to obstruct and assassinate us. I plan to lead some of them back to our country and deal with them there. Some of them will have to handle their own people due to their duties, isn’t it interesting?”
“You’re intentionally stoking their resentment, and they’ll try to trip us up. You plan to seize their mistakes and catch them all in one swoop?”
“Exactly. Mirabella gave a sly grin. “Tonight, I’ll arrange for our forces.”
‘I’ll have my people fully cooperate with you.”
Clark, standing nearby, was left speechless.
Did they forget something?
Although he was involved, it felt like he was not.
Chaper 966″I’ll take you back to your room to rest, Romeo knew Mirabella was still hurt, so he’s careful as he carried her. “Take a snooze, and when the plane arrives, we’ll head back.”
Mirabella wrapped her arms around him, “Clark when Carol wakes up, have someone inform me”
“Alright.”
Watching their intimate interaction, Clark suddenly felt a little lonely.
“I know it hurts,” Romeo murmured, carrying Mirabella upstairs, his lips brushing against her tenderly. “I wish I could rip those who hurt you limb from limb, grind their bones to dust”
How dare they hurt his girl!
He can’t even bear to say a harsh word to her, let alone see her treated so brutally.
Seeing the wounds on Mirabella’s arms and legs, Romeo’s heart ached. He wished he could bear the pain for her.
“Dr. Klein said he has some pain relief cream for you once you wake up. I’ll help you apply it,’ Romeo told her as they reached the second floor. “Where’s your room?”
He’s never been to her room, so he didn’t know which way to go.
“Over there.” Mirabella pointed with her chin, a faint smile on her lips as she looked at his chiseled jawline. “Those guys are like Chester. They’ve been pumped with all sorts of drugs since they were kids. It’s normal for them to be strong.”“That’s no excuse for them to hurt you,’ Romeo carried her in the direction of her room. “I’ve had a similar acupuncture mat made for you. I’ll give it to you when we get back home.”
Mirabella hadn’t expected him to be so thoughtful, even considering such a detail. “Acupuncture mat? I have plenty here.”
“But the one I’ve got for you is special.
Romeo remembered the patterns on it, so he had one made to match.
Although it might not be a perfect replica, it’s close enough.
Mirabella smiled softly at him, her eyes tender.
When Romeo carried her into her room, the housekeepers who had returned were stunned.
They can’t believe their eyes. Mr. McMillian was in the boss’s room, and the boss didn’t seem to mind.
They exchanged glances. The boss seemed to treat him differently!
Romeo gently set Mirabella on the bed, “Where’s the pain relief cream?”
“I’ll have someone help me apply it later.”
“No.” Romeo looked at her insistently. “Let me do something for you.”
Otherwise, he would feel terrible.
“The room at the front, the second drawer from the bottom on the left”
“Okay.”
When Romeo walked into that room, he realized it’s practically a “pharmacy”connected to the bedroom. There were at least a hundred drawers.
All were filled with medicines, a faint medicinal scent permeating the room.
Romeo opened the second drawer from the bottom. Inside were not just pain relief cream, but also pain relief capsules and tablets, all of them were not available on the market.
They must be concoctions of her own making.
Romeo picked up a jar of pain relief cream and headed back to Mirabella, “Did you get hurt often before?”
So she had stored so many medicines in this room, ready to treat her own wounds at any time?
“Just a bit when I first arrived.”
Arabelia’s reply was brief, but Romeo recalled what her subordinates had said, that she nearly lost her life when she first arrived, and it was Dennis who saved her.
So, how many times had she been injured? How many times had she hidden in this small pharmacy to treat her own wounds?
How much had she been through to become this strong?
Romeo’s heart ached. He sit down, his voice filled with worry, “Let me see the wound on your back.”
“It really doesn’t hurt.”
“But it’s split open.” Romeo had heard it from Jack, who had heard it from the doctor.
Chaper 967″Let me see. Romeo coaxed her for a while before she finally gave in with a sigh, allowing him to gently lift her shirt.
The sight of the long, bloody gash on her back made his eyes misty with a sudden surge of anger.
Damn it.
Those sons of a bitches!
How dare they hurt her like that!
Romeo’s rage was coupled with a tearing pain in his heart. His eyes became bloodshot, and he did not know what to do.
The wound on the girl’s fair and delicate skin was particularly shocking.
How much pain must she have been in when it happened?
Romeo was afraid to think about it but couldn’t help. In his rage, he wished he could uproot all of Inferno Clan, eliminating every last trace of it.
“Why are you silent?” Sitting on the bed, Mirabella turned her head to see his teary eyes. Was he crying??
“I’m fine,’ Mirabella laughed, “I’ll be okay in a couple of days.”
Romeo’s eyes were filled with a hot fog. The girl’s comforting words made his eyes even redder. In a hoarse voice, he asked, “How did you get hurt?””There were too many people, and I didn’t pay attention”
“Liar, with your skills, you can protect yourself. You must have been protecting Carol.” Romeo knew that the young girl was hurt because she had tried to save Carol.
“Carol’s injuries were also my fault” Mirabella explained, fearing he would blame Carol, “She told me to go ahead several times, even deliberately leading those people away.”
Carol was hurt as well.
Both of them were doing everything they could to protect each other.
“I don’t blame her.” Romeo knew that in such a situation, both of them would risk their lives to protect each other. What he was angry at was those people, that organization.
He would make sure all those involved paid a heavy price!
Anyone associated with Inferno Clan, he wouldn’t let a single one off!
Seeing that he was genuinely distressed, Mirabella softly said, “Come here.”
Romeo knelt before her, his face filled with grief and guilt. Their eyes met.
Mirabella reached out and touched his head, “It’s okay. We can get back at them later”
“I’m sorry, Bella” Romeo touched her lips, looking at her sadly, “I didn’t protect you. If I knew, I wouldn’t have let you go with him.”
If anyone were going, it would be together.
