The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 48
“Tsk.”
Neris clicked her tongue. She was both surprised and flustered.
She wasn’t entirely ignorant of wound treatment. But the injuries she had treated herself before were mostly minor ones caused by bullying—not something as severe as this, reeking of blood.
Cledwin’s eyes, which had just glared at her with all his remaining strength, now looked unfocused and dull. Neris struggled to make a calm judgment.
She had hidden the unknown, dangerously injured person from the boys not out of kindness, but simply because she refused to do anything that might please Nelusion or Abelus. Whoever they were sending their trusted subordinates to find must be someone they absolutely needed eliminated.
She had no reason to risk unknown danger just to save this stranger. In fact, if the figure in the bushes had been a corpse, she would have simply walked away.
But he was alive—moreover, Cledwin Maindlant. The only person at this school, aside from Diane, who might become a means to protect her mother in the future.
Her decision didn’t take long.
Rustle. Neris carefully crawled out of the bushes, only after confirming no one was around.
Then, relying on the moonlight, she plucked a few leaves from nearby shrubs and returned to where Cledwin lay.
“Chew on this. Can you chew? If not, I can’t do anything—I’ll just leave you here.”
Once she regained her senses and looked closer, the ground around Cledwin was damp. He seemed to have lost a great deal of blood.
Cledwin stared silently at the leaf Neris held to his lips for a moment. His eyes flickered between the leaf and her face several times.
Neris thought it understandable if he refused the herb out of suspicion—after all, there was no such trust between them.
Yet Cledwin soon opened his mouth, meeting her eyes directly. Neris pushed the herb inside.
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.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
