Chapter 404 We Will Wait Inside
Yuliana felt pain, and her hand gripped his right shoulder tightly.
Christopher stopped and breathed heavily.
He raised his head slightly and was met with Yuliana’s cold eyes. He smiled and said in a hoarse voice, “Yu, are you planning to murder your own husband?”
Yuliana’s eyes became even colder, and the pressure on Christopher’s shoulders grew stronger.
“Get off me!”
It was as if Christopher didn’t feel any pain at all. He gently pushed away the hair on her face and smiled. “How can I get up when you’re holding on to me so tightly?”
Then, he lowered his head with the intent to kiss her on the lips again.
Yuliana turned her face away from him in disgust.
Christopher wasn’t going to give up so easily. And Yuliana kept avoiding. The two of them continued on like this before he finally lost patience.
He grabbed her jaw and kissed her full on the lips.
But the kiss wasn’t aggressive like before. Instead, Christopher gently sucked on the place where the blood had dried up until it started bleeding again.
While struggling, Yuliana moved her hand to Christopher’s wound and pressed hard on it.
Once again, it was as if Christopher was immune to the pain.
Yuliana could feel the warm blood gushing out of the wound and staining her fingers.
Weirdly enough, Christopher’s movement became even gentler as he kissed her lips again and again as if he was trying to comfort her.
He finally stopped when Yuliana’s lips stopped bleeding.
He stared at her broken lips intently before gently brushing his fingers against them.
“That’s better,” said Christopher with a satisfied smile.
He then looked into Yuliana’s eyes. “I’m sorry, Yu. I was in the wrong. Please don’t be angry with me anymore, okay?” he pleaded in a low and humble tone.
Yuliana’s heart skipped a beat at the way he was looking at her, and she unconsciously lessened the pressure she was putting on Christopher’s wound.
Christopher buried his head in her neck again, and his hot and heavy breath covered Yuliana’s skin once
more.
Yuliana felt some stinging sensation as if she had been scalded, while the area around her heart felt as if it was being torn apart.
Finally, she withdrew her hand from Christopher’s wound and gently patted his back, coaxing him as she would usually coax Rowan.
After a while, Christopher’s breathing relaxed. His hands, which were pinning her down before, had loosened their grip and were now hanging limply by his sides.
Yuliana gently pushed him away until he was lying flat on the bed. She checked her wound and wasn’t surprised that the thick dressing was soaked with fresh blood, so much so that it was dripping down.
She fetched the first aid kit and redressed Christopher’s wound after sterilizing the area, just like Wesley did. However, she wasn’t as skilled as Wesley, so it was understandable that she was fumbling her way through as she did that. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
But before Yuliana could finish dressing the wound, she heard a knock on the door, causing her to be startled. She looked at the messy room and then at herself, her emotions as disorganized as the room.
She quickly wiped her hands with wet wipes before opening the door to reveal two men standing on the other side
“So we meet again, Miss,” said Reynolds looking at Yuliana with a faint smirk on his face.
Once her eyes fell on them, Yuliana immediately recognized the two men from the previous night. She was actually expecting Wesley or Blake, who was staying next door and brought breakfast to the room at around the same time yesterday.
It never crossed Yuliana’s mind that the two men from the previous night would come to Christopher’s room. After a while, Yuliana smiled stiffly. “Is there anything I can help you with?”
Reynolds’ eyes were glinting dangerously, and his smirk became even wider. “Oh, we’re just here to visit your boyfriend.”
He glanced behind Yuliana and asked, “He should be up by now, right?”
Yuliana’s fingers tightened around the doorknob until her knuckles went white. Her mind was buzzing as she stiffly said, “Yeah, he’s up.”
She immediately realized something was wrong with what she had just said, so she quickly added, “But he went out and is not in the room now.”
“Oh? He went out?”
Yuliana nodded stiffly. “Yes.”
Reynolds was still smiling, but his smile sent chills down Yuliana’s back. “That’s fine. We’ll wait inside for him. to come back.”
After saying that, he was about to push his way in, but Yuliana instinctively blocked the entrance with her body.
Reynolds narrowed his eyes when he saw her doing that, but he kept his polite charade. “Miss, aren’t you going to invite us in for a drink?”
“I’m afraid that’s not possible.” Yuliana calmed down a little and quickly came up with a plan. “My boyfriend will be angry if he sees other men in the room. Why don’t you wait outside instead?”
There was no way Yuliana would let them into the room. She knew they were already suspicious of the whole thing for them to return like this.
Besides, they carried guns with them. It wasn’t like she could scream for help, even with Blake staying just next door. She was sure that bullets would fly before Blake would even manage to get out of his room.
The only thing Yuliana could do was buy herself some time and look for an opportunity to message Blake and Wesley.
There was only one other problem, her phone was in the room, and the two men outside the door didn’t seem like the type to give up so easily.
There seemed to be no way out of the situation.
“Don’t worry, Miss. There’s always a chance we might be good buddies with your boyfriend. We’ll explain to him what’s happening when’s he back,” said Reynolds in mock kindness.
Yuliana remained standing at the door and said sternly, “You say you’re good buddies of his, but I’ve never met the two of you before. I’ve already helped you and let you into the room before. What else do you want from me? Now that my boyfriend isn’t here, a lone woman like me can’t let two strangers into the room. The two of you can either wait outside or leave. If not, I’ll call for help right away.”
Reynolds stopped smiling, and his face darkened.
Reynolds’ sidekick, Georgie, went ballistic at what Yuliana said. “Why is Reynolds letting a mere woman talk to him like that? What a coward!” Georgie thought.
“Hey there, Missy. I suggest you know what’s good for you and let us in. We’ll leave right away if we find there’s no problem. But if you don’t, well. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.”
Then, he took out a folding knife from his pocket.
Yuliana’s heart tightened and her legs went weak when she saw the sharp glinting blade.
“Get out of the way now!” ordered Reynolds fiercely. He had stopped playing nice to Yuliana.
Yuliana shuddered in fear. However, she was still determined not to let the two men into the room. She had no choice but to put all her hopes on Blake
She made up her mind to shout for help and was about to open her mouth when someone called out her
“Yuliana.”
Yuliana’s eyes immediately filled with tears, and she turned to where the sound was coming from when she heard the familiar voice.
Wesley was walking toward her with breakfast in his hand. He looked at the two men standing at the door with Yuliana blocking the way and asked, “Who are you guys?”
Reynolds sized up Wesley. With his experience in reading people, he could easily tell that Wesley was good at fighting and that they were of the same level.
“Only those who are confident of their skills would dare to set foot in Lofbury now,” thought Reynolds. Reynolds immediately put on a smile and said, “It’s all a misunderstanding. You must be her boyfriend. My, you sure look handsome. The two of you make a beautiful couple. How shall I address you?”
