Even if Your Regret Holds Me Back (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
Ian tugged at the sleeve of his coat laid beneath Helena. Covering her bare shoulder once more with the jacket that had slipped off as she woke, he said,
“Let’s stay just until tonight and leave tomorrow. By then, I should be recovered enough to cut off all three heads of Cerberus—even while carrying you on my back.”
“Don’t push yourself unnecessarily.”
“If I were really overexerting myself, I’d have left already. But it’s nighttime, and the temperature has dropped significantly. It’s also hard to figure out the way back in the dark.”
Helena was slightly surprised.
‘So it’s already night.’
It was always dark inside the cave, making it impossible to guess the time. She must have been unconscious for a full day. She felt ashamed imagining how he must have looked at her all that time.
‘Just yesterday, I was like that.’
She must have been burned black enough to toss her own insides into the fire if the firewood ran out.
Suddenly, she remembered his pained groans. Helena pressed firmly against the hollow beneath his collarbone and asked,
“Do you have something you’re afraid of too?”
“…Plenty.”
He answered in a hoarse voice, then asked back as if something caught in his throat,
“Did I say anything in my sleep while you were awake?”
“…How would I know? Your sleep-talking was really intense.”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
