Chapter 1826


    Only then did Adrienne realize that Jefferson had cold sweat all over his forehead. His face and lips


    were pale of color, which made her heart hurt so much that she almost couldn''t breathe. She


    commented, "It must have been excruciating... I''ll get you some glucose."


    "No!" Jefferson smiled as he noticed the tears in the corner of her eyes. He raised his hand and


    rubbed her head. "Little Specky, I''m really fine. Don''t..."


    Before he could finish his words, Adrienne interrupted him, "Although the wounds have been


    bandaged, you have lost too much blood, so you shouldn''t move around. Please lie down and I''ll


    ask the doctor about your situation."


    However, as soon as Adrienne stood up, Jefferson reached out and pulled her back. "Why are you


    crying?"


    She had just told him to lie down, but he had sat up again. Adrienne was afraid that he would tear


    his wound, therefore she did not dare to struggle. "I told you to lie down and not move, didn''t you


    hear me?"


    Jefferson did not care about his injury at all.

    All he could see was her tears. "I asked you why you were crying. Are your wounds hurting you?"


    "Why would I cry? When did you see me crying? My injury is nothingpared to yours." Adrienne


    was also someone with an ego. She didn''t want him to see her shed tears, nor did she want him to


    know why she shed tears. She definitely didn''t want him to know how nervous she was when she


    was taking the bullet out.


    She was afraid that if she made a slight tremble, she would sever a nerve in his leg, which would


    make him unable to walk normally for the rest of his life.


    "Little Specky..." Jefferson called her name with a low voice. He touched the corner of her eye with


    his thumb and gently wiped the tears from her eyes. "I''m all right now. Really. Just rx."


    Jefferson was happy that she was so worried about him.


    But at the same time he felt bad when she cried over him.


    She was his Little Specky, a little idiot who only knew how to work. How could she cry over him?


    Earlier on, he had already thought of ways to distract her attention, but none of them


    worked. She still ended up crying from worry.


    "You look horrible, but you''re still insisting you''re fine. Do you think I am really that stupid?"


    Adrienne scolded him angrily with a nasal voice.


    "The bullet has been sessfully removed. I''m fine now, you little fool." Jefferson exined


    patiently, "You really don''t have to worry about me anymore."


    "The fool here is you!" Adrienne sniffed. She didn''t want to let him see her sad face, hence she


    forced a smile and questioned, "What''s so good about me? Am I worth hurting yourself over?"


    "I don''t know," Jefferson answered truthfully. He didn''t know what was so good about her, but he


    knew he wanted to be with her. He wanted to marry her and take care of her for the rest of her life.


    He had thought this way for a long time.


    "You are a huge idiot. You don''t know even know what''s good about me, yet you took bullets for


    me." Adrienne wanted to hold back her tears. But for some reason, the more she tried to hold her


    tears back, the more she felt like crying. Adrienne wailed, "You massive fool. Do you know how


    afraid I have been these two days? I was so scared that I might never see you again. I thought you


    might disappear from my life."


    Jefferson had no idea. He thought that his two-day disappearance would have no effect on her life


    at all. In fact, he thought she would be more rxed without him bothering her.


    "Little Specky, I..."


    "You don''t know! How could you know!" After umting so much fear for two days, she finally


    was able to vent it out. She erupted like an exploding volcano.


    Adrienne was full of snot and tears. "You just confessed to me and I had just started to believe you.


    Then, you left me alone and disappeared silently. I was so anxious. I didn''t even dare to go back to


    our home. I didn''t want to face an empty house without you in it. Without you, the house is not a


    home at all."


    "Don''t cry anymore, you idiot. I''m right in front of you. I knew all along about their ns and I was


    just out-scheming them." It turned out that he yed such an important role in her heart. Without


    him, their house was not home.


    Jefferson let out a long sigh of relief and felt delighted in his heart. It seemed that his love for her all


    these years was not wasted. He did not regret getting shot twice at all.


    "Why didn''t you tell me what you had nned? What if you hadn''t managed to


    escape? What if..." The more Adrienne thought about it, the more scared she became. She cried so


    hard that her body shook violently. Jefferson''s heart ached with worry. "Didn''t you say that I should


    get out of your life? Wouldn''t it be better for me to leave you?"


    Adrienne cried and yelled at him, "I just said those things out of anger. How could you take them


    seriously?"


    Jefferson felt a sudden warmth in his heart upon hearing her words. He wished to hear more about


    how much she cared for him. "So you''re actually anxious about me and reluctant to leave me."


    This time, Adrienne did not deny it and admitted boldly, "I just can''t live without you."


    "Little idiot, since you''ve said so, I''ll live forever. Not even the Grim Reaper himself can take my time


    with you away." For her, he would cherish his life. He would never risk his life by knowingly falling


    into an enemy''s trap again.


    "Who do you think you are? Do you think you''re invincible? That you won''t bleed? Your wounds


    won''t heal magically on their own. You are an ordinary man made of flesh and blood. You don''t have


    the ability to fight against the Grim Reaper. Do you get what I''m saying?" Adrienne knew that


    sometimes,


    Jefferson really overestimated himself.


    "As long as you are beside me, I can do it." He held Adrienne''s face and gently kissed away her


    tears. "Be good, don''t cry. Otherwise, if others see you like this, they will think that I am bullying


    you."


    Adrienne wiped her tears. "You''ve always bullied me. Don''t tell me I''m not allowed to cry."


    "I admit that I used to bully you, but today, it''s clearly you who bullied me."


    "If I say you''re the one who bullied me then you''re the one who bullied me. You''re not allowed to


    refute."


    "How overbearing!"


    "I learned it from you."


    "Okay, whatever you say. Can you stop crying now?" The sight of her crying was breaking his heart


    into pieces.


    Adrienne decided to take advantage of the situation. "Promise me that you won''t do such a silly


    thing like today ever again in the future."


    "Dumb*ss, I wasn''t doing anything stupid, I was just protecting the girl I like." Jefferson looked at


    her, his pale lips slightly raised. Although he was injured, his eyes were full of tenderness and love.


    Looking at his affectionate eyes, Adrienne felt a slight quiver in her heart. She couldn''t help but say,


    "When your legs are healed, let''s find some time to hold our wedding."
