Feeling the pain conveyed through his hand, Aaron consoled.
“Just a little more, just endure a little longer.”
He stroked her trembling back, wanting to alleviate her pain even a little, but Delia’s suffering only grew.
A military doctor burst roughly through the tent’s curtains.
“What on earth is going on?”
Even at a glance, he could sense that the situation inside the tent was not normal.
“She suddenly fell ill.”
As the military doctor listened to Aaron’s explanation, he swiftly approached Delia.
Delia was clutching her stomach with one hand and letting out moans of pain.
Her other hand was desperately gripping Aaron’s.
As if it was her only salvation.
“She has been continuously vomiting. She’s disoriented.”
The military doctor checked Delia’s focus by lifting her eyelids and confirmed her temperature.
He probed beneath the hand that Delia was clutching her stomach with and pressed hard.
“Ah.”
At the touch of the military doctor’s hand, Delia screamed.
Her face was so pale that it had lost all color.
“What on earth is happening?”
“Did you eat something wrong?”
“We ate the usual stuff. Together.”
Aaron started to say, but he could not finish his sentence.
He slowly turned his head to gaze at Delia.
A chilling sensation passed right through Aaron’s spine.
“Flowers.”
“Huh?”
Aaron recalled the time he spent with Delia earlier in the day.
Delia’s smiling face.
The way she unusually insisted on it and even explained the meaning of the flowers in detail.
All aspects of Delia, who was exceptionally dazzling that day, flashed past like a slide show.
“She ate flowers, Hellebore flowers.”
At Aaron’s words, the military doctor swallowed hard.
“That seems to be poisoning. Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain.”
While the military doctor was listing the symptoms, Delia was gasping for breath.
“And difficulty breathing.”
The military doctor looked at Aaron with a deeply furrowed brow, a serious expression on his face.
“What to do? Treat her immediately.”
“But.”
At the sight of the hesitant military doctor, Aaron’s eyes flared.
“But?”
“I specialize in trauma. Moreover, we do not have the medical equipment necessary to analyze through bloodletting, nor any antidote at present.”
At the military doctor’s words, Aaron’s words twisted ominously.
Force unconsciously filled the hand holding Delia’s.
“No way? She’s suffering like that?”
“If it was a simple stomach ailment, I wouldn’t know. But if it’s due to a poisonous plant, there is nothing I can do now.”
The military doctor started desperately trying to convince Aaron.
“You should make her vomit out what she ate and find a doctor who can treat poisoning symptoms due to poisonous plants as quickly as possible for an examination. Commander.”
For a moment, Aaron felt numb.
He felt like the words of the military doctor and Delia were overlapping.
[I will create a situation where I cannot escape unless you let me go.]From then on, she was preparing for her last moment.
There is no way to hold her back from death.
At the thought that suddenly brushed by, Aaron let out a deep moan.
“No. She can’t be let out. Treat her here now.”
“But in cases like this, time is of the essence.”
“No. I can’t let her go.”
“If it’s too late, it might be irreversible.”
“How can I let her go when I know what she’s up to?”
“But.”
Ugh.
Even while they were talking, Delia’s stomach pain was getting worse.
It felt as if the withered kelp was stuck on a rock, like the petals were stuck in Delia’s stomach.
There was nothing coming out, even though she was throwing up painfully enough to hurt the observer.
Wretched prisoner.
Damn princess.
Damned Del.
Cursing inwardly, Aaron gathered up her disheveled golden hair.
When he pushed back her hair, Delia’s face, tainted by pain, was reflected in Aaron’s eyes.
Her clear, transparent blue eyes were not visible, covered by her eyelids.
How did I catch her.
How did I save her.
How did I take care of her.
Aaron felt his vision darken due to the despairing thoughts.
Aaron already knew.
At this moment, holding her, he would never face that blue light again.
There were no options for Aaron to choose.
As if mocking Aaron’s arrogance of thinking he could grasp everything.
Delia took away all his options.
Even while throwing away her own body, Delia created a situation where Aaron had to let go.
Cruel Delia.
Aaron gripped the ends of Delia’s hair tightly.
Even in this gloomy situation where nothing could be seen, Delia’s hair was dazzlingly bright.
To have to let go of something that shone so brilliantly.
His voice came out raspy as his heart was crushed by the feeling.
“Dyke. Arrange a ceasefire.”
Aaron’s deeply suppressed voice echoed within the command tent.
The pupils of Dyke, who had been quietly observing the situation inside the tent, trembled violently.
“Commander. But.”
A calm, yet chillingly eerie order fell on the hesitant Dyke.
“Now, immediately.”
“Yes, Commander.”
Swallowing a deep silence, Dyke hastily went out of the tent.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
