Chapter 487 Grand Finale VIII (End)
“Crazy!” Tess Baker’s voice was hoarse, “You’re crazy!”
Frank Duke but smiles and just looks at Bowen Carter.
“If I say yes, you let us go?” Bowen Carter’s face didn’t change.
Not waiting for Frank Duke to answer, Tess Baker tugged on his arm, her eyes bloodshot, “I disagree! We’re on his turf and he says what he wants, what if he has someone break your legs and won’t let us go?”
“Even if he does let us go, I won’t agree to it. Bowen Carter, don’t be a fool or I’ll never forgive you for the rest of my life. Mike and the others won’t recognize a cripple as a father!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
She wanted to get mad and threaten Bowen Carter, but somehow the tears wouldn’t stop falling down her face.
“Would you mind if I was a cripple?” Bowen Carter couldn’t wipe her tears enough and leaned down to kiss them, “Don’t cry, it hurts me.”
“Bowen Carter, you’ll be sorry when you break your leg!!!” Tess Baker shouted at the top of her lungs.
“No.” Bowen Carter cupped her face and whispered, “The only thing I regret in my life is not cherishing you.”
He kissed her in her direction, his eyes never more tender, “Tess Baker, I love you.”
Tears flowed down her cheeks and into Tess Baker’s mouth, flooding it with a bitter taste. She grabbed Bowen Carter’s hand with both of hers and shook her head desperately.
“Don’t look, it’ll be over in a minute.” Bowen Carter broke her hand a little and walked over to Frank Duke, “Get started and don’t forget what you said.”
“I’ll do what I say.” Frank Duke smiled and said to one of the bodyguards, “Go get my baseball bat.”
“Okay.” The bodyguard answered and left.
Within two or three minutes, however, he returned with a baseball bat and handed it to Frank Duke with both hands.
Tess Baker’s pupils crinkled as she tried to go up and grab the baseball bat, but was stopped by two bodyguards. She struggled with all her strength, but couldn’t break free.
“Don’t hurt her or I won’t let you go!” Bowen Carter turned his head and warned the two bodyguards stopping Tess Baker.
The two subconsciously stood upright and nodded.
“I’m going to start, it might hurt a little, Master Carter bear with me.” Frank Duke takes off his suit jacket, moves around a few times with his baseball bat, and slams it into Bowen Carter’s right leg.
Bowen Carter frowned a little, veins popping out of his neck, but still stood straight.
“Master Carter has had a good physical workout.” Frank Duke laughed and the baseball bat came down hard again.
The sound of clicking bones cracked extraordinarily clearly in the quiet dining room.
A cold sweat breaks out on Bowen Carter’s forehead, his fists clench, he doesn’t hold back, and he falls to the ground.
“Bowen Carter!” cried Tess Baker, tears coming to her eyes as she tore her heart out. She pushed herself away from the two bodyguards and rushed to Bowen Carter.
Frank Duke stood up straight and sighed, “Grandma Master Carter, it’s not good to hurt you when you’re so close.”
Lucy Kid winced, gritted her teeth, and took a step forward, but hesitated and stepped back.
If she can’t even protect herself, how is she qualified to protect others?
“Pull her away.” Bowen Carter’s handsome face paled as he ordered his bodyguard in a cold voice.
“I’m not leaving!” Tess Baker wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head on his chest, “Bowen Carter, I won’t owe you a favor!”
“Pull her off!” Bowen Carter repeated again, intensifying his voice.
Several bouncers stepped forward and it took a great deal of force to pull the frantic Tess Baker away.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The muffled sound of baseball bats and flesh colliding with each other rang through the dining room with an audible thud.
The blood flowed down the baseball bat, one by one, blooming enchanting blood lotuses on the ground.
Bowen Carter has long been unable to move on his right leg, and his entire pair of suit pants are stained a dark red, contrasting with the pallor of his handsome face.
Lucy Kid couldn’t even look at Bowen Carter and couldn’t stop her body from shaking in fear.
“Enough is enough!” Tess Baker shouted at the top of her lungs, “Bowen Carter’s leg is broken, stop fighting!”
Frank Duke stops moving, tosses the blood-stained baseball bat aside, and signals the bodyguards to let go of Tess Baker.
Tess Baker stumbled over to Bowen Carter and sat down on her knees, his blood instantly soaking her clothes. Tears barred down her cheeks and dripped to the ground, quickly blending into the blood and turning red as well.
She looked at his blood-covered right leg, and with trembling hands she wanted to touch it, but she didn’t dare.
“Bowen Carter …” Tess Baker mustered up the courage to lift up his suit pants, only to feel her head spin when she saw the large gash on his leg.
Snowy Cole didn’t know if she was stunned or if the tranquilizers were working, but she looked over at the side without blinking or saying a word.
“Gee, that’s touching.” Frank Duke walks over to a table in the dining room, pulls a gun out of a vase and loads it, “But I wouldn’t dare offend THE Carter family.”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
He pulled a gun on Bowen Carter.
Tess Baker looked incredulous, “What do you mean?”
“I’m sorry Grandma Master Carter, Master Carter won’t leave me alone when he gets back, you and he must die.” Frank Duke, with the mole of tears glowing seductively under his eyes, slowly pressed the wrench.
Tess Baker’s pupils crinkled.
Bang!
Lucy Kid suddenly lunged and the bullet went into the small of her back, she crouched on the ground covering the small of her back.
At the same time, ASSISTANT came in with a large group of police officers, and the sound of sirens enveloped the area over the villa.
…
Hospitals.
ASSISTANT kept his head down, not daring to say a word.
“Master Carter has a cracked bone and will probably recover in three to four months.” The doctor said to a red-eyed Tess Baker as she put a cast on Bowen Carter.
Tess Baker, “I got it, go ahead and get out.”
She waited for the doctor to go out before she looked over at ASSISTANT and said with a hard look on her face, “If you and the police were early, why didn’t you come in earlier?”
If they had come in earlier, Bowen Carter’s leg wouldn’t have hurt so much, and he might not have even had to kneel down and learn to bark.
ASSISTANT sneaks a glance at Bowen Carter and mumbles, half-heartedly.
“I made him do it.” Bowen Carter said.
Tess Baker’s pupils crinkled, why would he do that?
Bowen Carter, lying in his hospital gown, said coldly, “Come here.”
“Why are you doing this? Do you realize how dangerous this is?” Tess Baker walked over to the hospital bed, her face hard, “Bowen Carter, do you realize that if the ASSISTANT and the police had come a little later, your life and mine would have been in Frank Duke’s hands …” The police are not the only ones who can help you.
Before she could finish her sentence, she was suddenly yanked into Bowen Carter’s arms.
She pressed herself against him, not daring to push hard for fear of pulling on his wound.
Four eyes, she actually found that his eyes were full of tenderness and deep love, straightforward and hot. His gaze seemed to be a heavenly net, encompassing her, her anger turned into a bewildered not knowing what to do, and her face burned a little.
“I’m sorry for putting you through this.” Bowen Carter hugged her tightly and kissed her lightly on the cheek, “I wouldn’t have let anything happen to you if they had come a little later, even if I had died, I wouldn’t have let them hurt you.”
If it were before, Tess Baker would have thought he was just lying to her, but everything that happened today convinced her that he would really do that.
She hugged him back with trembling hands, “But if they had arrived earlier, you wouldn’t have had to be beaten or kneel down to learn … learn …”
Barking was two words she just couldn’t say.
When has a domineering, brutal man like him ever suffered like this?
“I just want you to know,” Bowen Carter hugged her a little harder, still hard even when he was speaking amorally, “that I’d give up my dignity, even my life, for you.”
The thought of him lying in a pool of blood made Tess Baker’s tears, which had just stopped, come back with a vengeance, and her eyes hurt a little from probably crying for too long.
“But I can’t do it without you.” At that, Bowen Carter’s voice suddenly became soft with a touch of apprehension, “Tess Baker, can you give me another chance?”
Afraid of her refusal, he said with a few moments of urgency, “Give me one more chance, I’ll trust you and I’ll be good to you. Give me one more chance, okay?”
He went out of his way to get Frank Duke to break her legs just to get her to give him a chance, even if it wasn’t love, just gratitude.
A leg for a chance. It’s worth it. He really can’t leave her!
“… Good.” Tess Baker knew that she probably wouldn’t be able to leave this man for the rest of her life, not in body, not in heart.
Bang!
The door was suddenly pushed open.
Linda Mark took the lead and directed a few people behind her, “Come on, come on, flowers, balloons, nothing less!”
Several people immediately poured in, handing Bowen Carter a large bouquet of roses in a well-organized manner, then placing flowers and hanging balloons in various parts of the hospital room.
“Tess, not everyone is as lucky as you, going around in circles and still being with the person they’ve always loved.” Linda Mark had a flash of sadness in her eyes, “You have to be happy all the time, and remember to tell me if Master Carter bullies you!”
“Mommy, hey hey hey, happy birthday!” The little guy pushed his way out of the crowd and smiled with an arched brow, he was the one who wanted Mommy and Daddy to be together the most!
Elder Si was supported by Ben Si and stood at the end of the line, wanting to say some words of blessing but not knowing what to say, he ended up standing at the back and giggling.
Mark’s mother snuggled in Mark father’s arms, eyes a little red, but unfortunately their Linda and the Ford family boy did not have such a blessing ah, I do not know how the back will be with that Daniel.
“Master Carter, don’t just stand there, where’s the diamond ring?” Linda Mark crossed her arms, “There can’t be none, can there?”
Bowen Carter didn’t make a sound, just carefully pulled a necklace out of his shirt, and the pendant was clearly a diamond ring.
Tess Baker looked at this very familiar diamond ring and suddenly wanted to laugh a little, he threw it away and picked it back up himself, she threw it away and he picked it back up again, this was the third time he had given her this ring.
“Tess Baker, I love you.” Bowen Carter took her hand and reverently and tenderly helped her put it on.
Tess Baker smiled, her voice soft, “I love you too.”
With four eyes, he cupped her face and kissed her to the uproar of the crowd.

After all these years of going round and round, she still loves him and he loves her, and that might be the most wonderful thing in the world. (End of full text)
