Chapter 11 Save Me!

  • Caleb's gaze narrowed as he spoke.
  • His words plunged the entire mansion into an abrupt hush.
  • "He stands as the sole disciple of Wonder Doctor.
  • "He represents an extraordinary medical prodigy of this era!
  • "His forthcoming achievements will exceed even those of Wonder Doctor!"
  • Lorrenvia's Wonder Doctor reigns supreme, astounding countless doctors at domestic and abroad. Yet how old is Gale? How can he be likened to Wonder Doctor?
  • And his future outshining that of Wonder Doctor?
  • How astounding is that?
  • If the Wheeler family aligns with such an individual, they will surely shine the brightest!
  • A market worth in the tens of billions?
  • That's merely a fraction of their potential!
  • ...
  • Gale pushed open the door and carefully laid the beautiful woman in his arms onto the spacious bed.
  • The room was impeccably neat.
  • Every object was meticulously organised, the table free of any unnecessary items, and not a trace of dust in sight. Crisp white sheets and neatly folded blankets adorned the bed.
  • Nora was overwhelmed with emotions, her right hand resting gently on her abdomen.
  • Yet, her heart churned with turmoil.
  • Thump, thump, thump!
  • A flurry of anxious palpitations, tangled with nerves and bewilderment.
  • Her delicate face flushed uncontrollably.
  • She hesitated, reluctant to act.
  • Everything hinged on Gale now.
  • His breath drew nearer.
  • A faint medicinal aroma emanated from him, discernible only up close, subtly intoxicating.
  • Gale lightly applied pressure to several acupoints on her body.
  • He alleviated some of the alcohol's effects on her.
  • "You can still change your decision now. If you don't want to, I won't insist," he said.
  • "If I change my mind, will you still stay?"
  • Nora lifted her captivating gaze and met his.
  • God had poured endless efforts into crafting that face, with rosy, charming lips that irresistibly tempted possession.
  • "Even if you don't reconsider, I might not stay."
  • Gale smiled.
  • "Why?"
  • This man appeared to disdain everything.
  • With her appearance, background, and circumstances, she still couldn't be the leverage to make him stay. A single sentence shattered her pride.
  • "Because in this vast world, I must seek out beauty for myself, don't I?"
  • Gale smiled with indifference.
  • With his remarkable skills, he envisioned traversing the globe akin to his master.
  • Should anyone tie down his heart, it would merely impede his journey.
  • "Then I will tie you to my side!"
  • Nora's drive to excel was stoked by his presence.
  • She extended her hands, tenderly enveloping Gale's collarbones.
  • "Let's test your capabilities."
  • Gale chuckled softly as the dress slid down, unveiling her bashful yet charming countenance.
  • A tender kiss sealed her crimson lips, savouring the most captivating sweetness imaginable.
  • But as he leaned in, she halted him abruptly.
  • "What's the matter? Second thoughts?" he asked.
  • "I need to bathe first," Nora replied.
  • "Why now? It's late. Can't it wait until after?"
  • "If you can't even wait a little, does that mean you can't handle it?" Nora countered.
  • "I ... "
  • Gale seethed and settled on the edge of the bed. "Go ahead, clean up! When you're finished, I'll teach you what's acceptable."
  • "Hmph!"
  • Nora regained her composure, wearing a triumphant smile as she rose from the bed and made her way to the bathroom.
  • He listened to the rushing water.
  • Then, he picked up Nora's cup and took a few sips, yet couldn't quell the turmoil in his heart.
  • D*mn it!
  • Is she deliberately teasing me by taking a bath at such a crucial moment?
  • Let's see if I won't have her begging for mercy later!
  • Nora allowed the water to envelop her body.
  • With Gale's assistance and the warmth of the hot water, Nora began to feel more alert.
  • Suddenly, a shiver ran through her body.
  • It was icy cold, sending chills down her spine.
  • She slumped against the wall, sinking weakly to the floor. Her face twisted in agony, her entire body engulfed in violent shivers. Even the hot water offered no relief from the biting cold.
  • In the past, whenever she fell ill, she would endure it alone, stubbornly making her way to the bathroom.
  • She didn't want her family to see her in pain.
  • But now, she was so cold that she couldn't even open her mouth.
  • Even if she wanted to ask Gale for help, she couldn't do it.
  • "Save me ...
  • "Gale ...
  • "Gale!"
  • She silently pleaded in her heart, her feeble voice lost amidst the rush of water.
  • Just when she felt all hope was lost, suddenly ...
  • Bang!
  • The bathroom door slammed open with force from the outside.
