Chapter 485 Incompatible
Braden lay in the guest room of the Crimson Pawnshop. His eyes were closed and he was breathing slowly. He was still unconscious.
“How long has he been unconscious?”
Shirley asked worriedly. She rushed to Braden’s bed with her weak body.
Shirley’s eyes turned red the moment she saw Braden.
In her memory, she had never seen Braden so fragile, as if any person, even a threeor-four-year-old child, could take his life with just a slight movement of his finger.
“You guys were saved together. It’s been three days.”
Larry stood behind Shirley, his hands in his pockets as he answered truthfully.
“Didn’t you take him to the hospital? With his condition, he should be in a professional hospital, right?
“Why didn’t you take him to the hospital?”
Larry explained, “I took you two to the hospital right away, but the doctors couldn’t do anything and issued a notice of critical illness. I spent a lot of money finding a skillful doctor to save your lives in time. Now you are out of danger, but whether he can wake up depends on his luck.”
“Humph, from what you’re saying, we have to thank you for saving our lives.”
Shirley said with a cold smile.
Shirley blamed Larry for putting Braden and her in such a situation.
But Larry was Shirley’s brother. She couldn’t hate him. Shirley tormented herself with the thought.
Larry was not a fool. How could he not see Shirley’s mixed feelings? His handsome face became serious.
“What is so good about him? You love him so much. I remember he betrayed you. For a jerk, you chose to turn against your brother. Is it worth it?”
“I don’t love him, and I will not turn against you. I just think that he is not so bad. He can’t die here. Your way of doing things is too extreme, like a coldblooded monster!”
Shirley’s big eyes were filled with tears. Finally, she could not bear it and raised her head, staring coldly at Larry with dissatisfaction.
“Since the moment we got reunited, I have been sincere to you. After listening to your tragic experience, I felt distressed for you. I secretly made up my mind that I must make it up to you and make you feel the warmth of the family. So I believe in you, understand you, and even tolerate you…
“I understand your ruthlessness, cold-bloodedness, and madness. But I didn’t expect that you would bully me…”
“What are you talking about? When did I bully you? I also secretly made up my mind to protect you for the rest of my life.”
Larry defended himself emotionally. He was a little angry.
“I thought that you would take revenge after being hurt by this man as I did. I didn’t expect you to have such deep feelings for him. To save him, you didn’t even want your own life!”
Larry clenched his fists and said regretfully, “If I knew that you would also jump into the water prison, I wouldn’t have ordered to release those snakes, insects, rats, and ants…”
“Stop that. It’s useless to talk about this now. No matter what price I have to pay, nothing must happen to Braden, because…”
Shirley choked. “Because he is not only my former lover, he is also the father of my children. I can’t let my children lose their father.”
“What? Your children?”
Larry was surprised and excited. “So you have children. I didn’t know it. Great. Our family has descendants. It is great…”
“Is it great?”
Shirley was pessimistic. “I am afraid that from now on, my children will hate me for getting their father killed.”
“No, they won’t. Don’t worry. The doctor is skillful. He said that if Braden woke up in time, he would be fine. He must be fine.”
Larry did not intend to let Braden go, but since Braden was the father of his nephews, he would bury the hatchet and spare Braden’s life.
“I hope so…” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Shirley let out a long sigh. “My mind is in turmoil. I want some quiet time. I want to stay with him alone for a while.”
“Okay.”
Larry nodded and patted Shirley on the shoulder. He said apologetically, “Don’t worry. I was too impulsive. I will try to make it up.”
After Larry left the room, Shirley no longer pretended to be rational or cold. Shirley sat by Braden’s bed and reached out to hold his hand. She felt worried and sorry. “Braden, you have slept long enough. It’s time to wake up. Ben, Ally, and I are waiting for you to wake up.
“Could you please wake up?”
Braden still had his eyes closed, and there was no reaction.
“You are cold-blooded and heartless and always fool me. I should hate you forever, but I am naturally generous.
“As long as you wake up, all our grudges will be written off, okay?”
Braden was still lying quietly, without any reaction.
Shirley was a little desperate. She almost lost hope.
“Braden, that’s enough. What should I do to wake you up? Do you want me to leave you forever before you wake up?”
Shirley burst into tears and sobbed, “Alright, I promise as long as you wake up, I wont pester you anymore. I won’t appear in front of you anymore. I wish you, Alina, and
Amelie a happy life.
“Is that okay?”
It was amazing. After Shirley said this, Braden’s tightly closed eyelids moved slightly.
He seemed to have some reaction.
Shirley was shocked. She looked at Braden in a daze and felt bitter. Was this fate?
Shirley and Braden were destined not to be together. If they were together, they would lose their lives.
If this was fate, Shirley would leave.
“Well, Braden, listen up. As long as you wake up, I will no longer pester you. If I go back on my word, I will lose my life!”
Shirley put her palms together and made a vow sincerely.
Just then, Braden’s fingers moved.
“Guards!”
Shirley stumbled up and shouted to the guards outside the door, “Call the doctor. Braden, he… He’s awake!”
Indeed, many things in this world were incompatible, such as water and fire, night and day, and Shirley and Braden!
