Chapter 126 Are You Here to Fight?<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
I stared at the woman on the hospital bed and forced my voice to sound calm. \u201cA few days ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the phone, I had heard Deanna say she was waiting for me to come home.<\/p>\n
I cut a week\u2019s trip down to three days just so I could surprise her.<\/p>\n
From the moment I boarded the plane to the moment I landed, I didn\u2019t rest. I had the driver take me straight to Zedowood.<\/p>\n
But when I reached her place, she wasn\u2019t there. I called her hundreds of times\u2013no answer.<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t believe it. To see my girlfriend, I had to send my men to track her down.<\/p>\n
What a joke!<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you tell me?\u201d I took a step closer.<\/p>\n
Deanna lowered her head. \u201cMy phone broke.\u201d<\/p>\n
I gave a sharp laugh, eyes locked on her face. \u201cDeanna, you were rescued and woke up a whole week ago. Your phone was broken for a week? And after you woke up, you never thought to tell me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna lifted her head. \u201cThis isn\u2019t a big deal. I didn\u2019t want to bother you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot a big deal?\u201d My face darkened. The force of my alpha presence burst out, no longer controlled.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou were kidnapped. You fell off a cliff and almost died. And you call that not a big deal?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you so upset?\u201d Deanna frowned at me. \u201cJust because I didn\u2019t tell you right away that I was kidnapped?\u201d<\/p>\n
I almost laughed from rage.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I don\u2019t matter at all? I don\u2019t deserve to know? Not even when you\u2019re hurt?\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
Yes, my phone had broken. Kathryn had someone send me a new one the very next day.<\/p>\n
Why didn\u2019t I tell him?<\/p>\n
Because it wasn\u2019t necessary.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t know if he was back in the country.<\/p>\n
I have no idea if another woman might pick up his call this time.<\/p>\n
And honestly, I was about to break up with him. What was the point of saying anything?<\/p>\n
Still, when he snapped at me, my eyes burned and filled with tears. My chest tightened with hurt, and those tears rolled down from my face.<\/p>\n
1\/3<\/p>\n
I sniffed and said, \u201cI didn\u2019t say that. But if you\u2019re here just to pick a fight, then come back another day. I\u2019m not in the mood today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
Haha!<\/p>\n
She thinks I came here to fight?<\/p>\n
When I heard she\u2019d been kidnapped and fallen off a cliff, I panicked for the first time in my life.<\/p>\n
I rushed straight to the hospital.<\/p>\n
Even when I heard Jake was the one who saved her, I didn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n
I just wanted her safe. Nothing else mattered.<\/p>\n
And now she told me I came here to fight with her?<\/p>\n
A crushing weight pressed against my chest, stealing my breath.<\/p>\n
I wanted to grab her by the chin and shake some sense into her\u2013but I stopped.<\/p>\n
Because right then, I realized how pathetic I must look.<\/p>\n
The mix of anger and frustration burned in my chest, but I couldn\u2019t get a single word out. So I turned and walked toward the door.<\/p>\n
Just as I reached it, a soft cough came from behind me. I froze. My lips pressed into a hard line, veins popping on my hand as I clenched my fist.<\/p>\n
Fuck my pride. Forget about control.<\/p>\n
The next second, I spun around and crossed the room in two long strides.<\/p>\n
I grabbed the back of her head. Then, I lowered my head and kissed her fiercely.<\/p>\n
All the fear, anger, and relief of getting her back alive poured into that kiss.<\/p>\n
I bit her lip, my breath uneven, desperate, almost wild\u2013like I could pull her into my very bones.<\/p>\n
Deanna sat on the bed, her head tilted back, breath catching. Her hands pressed weakly against my chest, but her touch was so light it felt like a kitten\u2019s pawing. Her resistance made me want her more.<\/p>\n
Just as I started unbuttoning her gray hospital gown with practiced ease, there came a sharp knock at the door.<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Wiley, it\u2019s time for your injection.\u201d<\/p>\n
The door was pushed open. Instead of letting go, I pressed even closer and deepened the kiss.<\/p>\n
Behind me came the sound of the nurses gasping.<\/p>\n
That finally snapped Deanna out of it. She shoved me away, her face turning crimson, even her ears glowing red.<\/p>\n
I looked at how flustered she looked. Reluctantly, I pulled back and used my thumb to wipe the moisture from the corner of her lips.<\/p>\n

Her big, glassy eyes glared at me. Her entire neck was red.<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t help it\u2013I smirked, but I hurriedly pushed that down.<\/p>\n
The nurses stood frozen at the door, eyes darting everywhere except at us.<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Wiley, should we come back later?\u201d one stammered.<\/p>\n
Deanna blurted, \u201cN\u2013no need.\u201d<\/p>\n
The two nurses walked in slowly, pushing the medicine cart side by side like they were marching in sync.<\/p>\n
One started mixing the medicine.<\/p>\n
The other hung the IV bag above the bed, then picked up the needle, ready to find a vein.<\/p>\n
Deanna closed her eyes and shakily stretched out her hand.<\/p>\n
I snorted. \u201cScaredy\u2013cat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, I stepped forward, pulled her into my arms, and pressed her face against my chest. Then I patted her back\u2013clumsily, but firmly.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n
The nurse stared. She was speechless.<\/p>\n
Deanna froze. She was wordless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2209","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
