Chapter 1436
"Oh no!"
Both Teagen''s and Tristan''s expressions suddenly changed.
"What''s wrong?"
Prisci was confused, and then she heard Teagan say, "The people outside blew up the house. We
didn''t think of this when we dug the passage, so once the house is blown up, we would not be able
to go through the passage. Urgh! This means that we''re trapped here!"
They were trapped, and there was nothing to eat. Furthermore, Tristan was even injured. If they
couldn''t get out, they would die of hunger or thirst or even by the cold. Moreover, Prisci knew that
even if they had gotten out, there would be many people outside waiting to get them.
What should they do now?
Prisci became anxious when she looked at Tristan''s increasingly pale face.
"I will go out! I don''t believe that Laborn would kill me in front of everyone! As long as he doesn''t kill
me, I will have ways to save you."
Prisci was about to get up when Tristan stopped her.
"Nah, it''s useless. If he cared about you, I wouldn''t have this injury in the first ce."
After all, he would not allow Prisci to go out and sacrifice herself no matter what.
On the other hand, Prisci looked at Tristan and felt very upset.
"Your wound needs to be treated, so you can''t stay here!"
This meant that she was willing to do anything to get them out of here.
Meanwhile, Tristan was delighted when he heard what Prisci had said.
"Let''s wait for a while. It''s all right. You can treat my wound, and I''ll teach you how."
Tristan then taught Prisci how to attend to his wounds.
Prisci did as he instructed.
Meanwhile, they could hear soundsing from above them clearly as the tunnel had copsed.
Hence, they didn''t dare speak loudly as they were afraid of attracting the soldiers'' attention.
Footsteps were heard one after another, and it sounded like there were quite a few people above
them.
Prisci believed that the soldiers had reported to Laborn that she was here as well. However,
Laborn still sent men and had even blown up the ce without mercy. s! He didn''t even consider
her safety. Well, even though Prisci knew that Laborn didn''t care about her, she still felt
heartbroken.
This meant that she had no home here and no family.
Only people who did not get along with their parents would understand what she was going through.
Although she looked like she had everything, her heart was empty.
Then, Tristan brought Prisci closer to him and whispered, "Let me lean against you for a while."
Prisci knew that he had done it on purpose. After all, he had sensed her sadness, so he was
trying to distract her.
Besides Nathaniel, Tristan was the only one who was unconditionally good to her.
In fact, she was quite lucky.
At this thought, Prisci put her arms around his shoulders with a faint smile and whispered,
"Honey."
She said it so sincerely that Tristan was stunned. He paused for a moment and then smiled slightly
before whispering, "Say it again."
"Honey."
Although both of them were married, Prisci had felt that their marriage was too sudden, so she
hadn''t been able to get used to this role. After all, she found it hard to think of Tristan as her
husband. However, she finally epted this role.
After hearing this pet name, Tristanughed foolishly and thought in his heart, "Call me honey, and I
will give you everything you want! Prissy, from now on, don''t ever think about leaving me."
He stretched out his arms and embraced Prisci tightly while saying this. When he felt the warmth
and fragrance from her body, he suddenly felt that it did not matter even if he was trapped here. It
was fine as long as she was around.
On the other hand, Teagan felt that he was the third wheel. If he had known that this would happen,
he would not havee back. If he was outside then, he could at least find a way to save Tristan.
But now, he was in an awkward situation.
He tried his best to reduce his presence but still felt a little awkward.
Prisci, on the other hand, didn''t think about it too much. After all, it was now time for her to think
about how they could leave.
Right now, Tristan''s face was getting paler. Although he insisted that he was okay, how could he be
fine after losing so much blood? Besides, the bullet was still in his body. What if he got a feverter?
At this thought, Prisci frowned, but she heard Tristan whisper, "Prisci, tell me a story."
"Huh? You want me to tell you a story?"
Prisci was somewhat astonished to hear his request.
"Don''t you know how to do that?"
Tristan raised his head and smiled at her while asking the question. At that moment, Prisci saw
how brightly his eyes twinkled, and they shone like stars.
"No. I only know some nursery rhymes."
"That''s fine. I just want to hear you speak."
Tristan lowered his head and moved closer to Prisci before whispering, "Maybe you can think
about it and practice on me first. Then, when we have children in the future, you can tell these
stories to them too."
Prisci stiffened when she heard him.
So Tristan didn''t know that she couldn''t bear children?
When Prisci thought about her body, she felt upset.
Back then, she didn''t regret anything, even though she had given up so much to save Nathaniel.
But at this moment, she felt apologetic towards Tristan.
Suddenly, he remembered how well Tristan had treated her and his feelings for her.
They had been together for more than two months. During the period, they were with each other
during the day, and they had slept together every night. However, she never cared about it because
she was sure she couldn''t get pregnant. Furthermore, she never thought about spending the rest of
her life with Tristan.
Well, she admitted that she had yed with Tristan''s feelings in the beginning. After all, Nathaniel
had left her without saying goodbye, and she was miserable. She had no ce to vent her anger,
so when a man like Tristan who liked her appeared, she indulged in pleasure with him.
She thought that she could use another man to forget about Nathaniel, even for a short time.
In those two months, she didn''t think of Nathaniel, and she was happy with Tristan. She could
always get her way with him, and he spoiled her. He would have granted all her wishes if he could,
but he never managed to win over her heart.
Furthermore, she even forgot about himter!
Urgh! She was a jerk.
However, Tristan had always remembered her and had even taken care of her in secret over the
years. Therefore, how could she not be moved by his affections?
Well, rumors had said that both men and women could be heartless. But in fact, it was easy to touch
a woman''s heart. Therefore, they could all fall in love unknowingly.
After all, Prisci had longed for love for too long, but she didn''t expect a man to love her in secret
for so many years. Did she honestly have no feelings for Tristan?
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
Of course not!
She knew herself well. If she had no feelings for Tristan, she would not give herself to him, even if
she only wanted to indulge in pleasure.
So how could Tristan not know that she could not bear a child? He was there at that time.
At that thought, Prisci had mixed emotions when she said softly, "We won''t have children. You
know that too, Tristan."
"What are you saying? Don''t worry, with me around, we will definitely have children."
Tristan held Prisci''s hand tightly as his eyes sparkled when he said these words.
At this moment, Prisci seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
Tristan was a skilled doctor. So if he said they would have children, they would surely have them,
right?
After so many years, Prisci had long since epted the fact that she couldn''t have children. She
thought that she would not feel anything about this anymore. However, at this moment, she was
excited and was looking forward to it.
"Well, if you say so."
"Yeah, so you should practice your storytelling."
Tristan smiled faintly and lowered his head again.
He was feeling dizzy, and his vision was bleak. Since they wouldn''t be able to get out for a while, he
could even have a high feverter.
However, he didn''t know how to reduce Prisci''s worry and fear.
After all, Tristan didn''t want Prisci to worry about him, so the only feasible idea he had right now
was to ask her to tell him a story.
Meanwhile, Prisci lowered her head and pondered. What should she tell him?
After thinking for a long time, she still couldn''t figure it out.
She didn''t have a good childhood, and the stories that her mother used to tell her were only nursery
rhymes. After her mother''s death, she never read fairy tales or books because she didn''t want to
think about her mother. Hence, Tristan''s request was somewhat difficult for her.
However, since Tristan wanted to listen to a story, she would not reject him. After thinking for a
while, she said, "Why don''t I tell you a story that happened in the barracks?"
"Alright. I''ll listen to everything you say."
Tristan''s voice was unusually gentle.
Meanwhile, Teagan moved to the side again.
What the hell?!
He needed to find a hole to hide right no@
Both of them were disying their affections and did not care about his feelings at all. In fact, they
pretended as if he didn''t exist. Hence, he had to be careful not to make any noise as he was afraid
of disturbing them.
Over the years, Teagan knew everything that Tristan had done for Prisci. He thought that Prisci
was not good enough for Tristan. But when he saw how satisfied and gentle Tristan was at that
moment, Teagan knew that he was wrong.
After all, Prisci was the light in Tristan''s life. Hence, Tristan was full of enthusiasm and motivation
because of her!
He then nced at Prisci and noticed that there was also a glint in her eyes. Furthermore, he
knew that she had hope again because of Tristan.
At this thought, he suddenly felt relieved.
Teagan then closed his eyes to rest and took advantage of this opportunity to replenish his strength.
After all, they needed to break out of the siegeter.
Meanwhile, Prisci felt Tristan letting go of her waist and ying with her fingers instead.
She was slightly stunned, and her face was flushed. She suddenly forgot about the story that she
had thought about for him, but she didn''t stop him.
Prisci then took a deep breath and suppressed her panic.
In those years, she had been busy carrying out various missions with her men to maintain peace.
Therefore, many interesting things had happened. However, Prisci thought she would already
forget about those memories, but they were clearly etched in her mind now.
At this thought, she smiled lightly.
"Let me tell you a story about Remy."
Remy was her subordinate. He was a simple and honest man, but he was also humorous.
"Alright."
Tristan didn''t know who Remy was, but he liked listening to Prisci.
His head was already feeling dizzy. He was struggling to listen to Prisci and felt as if her voice
was distant and vague. Therefore, Tristan held her hand tightly to make sure that she was still
beside him.
"What''s wrong? Does the wound hurt?"
Prisci asked hastily.
"No, it''s just that your hand is really soft."
Tristan replied in a low voice.
Prisci immediately felt a little embarrassed when she heard this.
"Tristan, be serious! If not, I''ll forget about the story again."
"Haha! Alright."
Prisci''s unexpected bashfulness made Tristan chuckle. Then, he leaned his head against her
chest.
Prisci''s gentle voice brought him a hint of relief and warmth. Hence, Tristan couldn''t hold it
anymore and then passed out. Unfortunately, Prisci did not notice this.
