Chapter 123


    Chapter 123 Tina no longer cared about Samuel’s opinion of her. She wiped her tears away while


    continuing toment. “You might as well just kill me right now. Think of it as granting me a sweet release


    from this insufferable life! Since you hate me so much, you must be dreaming about this for a long time,


    right?”


    Samuel no longer spoke. Instead, he just stared at Tina coldly. Thetter also returned the gaze steadily,


    waiting for his answer. The next thing she knew, she felt her feet leaving the ground. To her surprise,


    Samuel had scooped her into his arms.


    Tina was so surprised that she let out a shriek while wrapping her arms around Samuel’s neck. “Put me


    down! Where are you taking me?!” “I thought you weren’t scared of death. Why are you scared of this?”


    Samuel mocked with a cold chuckle.


    He threw Tina carelessly onto the backseat and drove away. Several minutester, Tina was stunned to


    recognize the surroundings when she looked out of the car window. “Isn’t this your house?” Didn’t


    Samuel want to kill her? Why would he take her back to his house? He had no intention to reply to her.


    All he issued was a simplemand: “Get out.” Tina got out of the car in a daze and entered the hall


    with him.


    “Sit here and wait,” Samuel ordered before heading toward another direction. Tina was bristling with


    anxiety. Her heart kept hammering behind her ribcage. What was Samuel nning to do with her? Was


    she really going to die here?


    Soon, Samuel reappeared in front of her. This time, he was carrying a medical kit. Obviously, this


    surprised Tina a lot.


    “Weren’t you nning to kill me?” she asked dumbfoundedly.


    Samuel didn’t bother replying to her question. Instead, he grabbed her arm and started applying ointment


    to her wounds. It was only then that Tina realized she was covered in wounds due to the struggles


    earlier.


    Unable to regain her senses, she could only stare nkly as Samuel tended to her injuries and wrapped


    bandages around them. She was very sure that everything she had witnessed just now was a


    hallucination due to her drunken state.


    “Are you really not going to kill me?” she asked again.

    At that moment, Samuel’s phone rang loudly. Since he was busy with patching Tina up, he left the call on


    speaker mode. Sandy’s voice could be heard drifting from the speaker as he made his usual report.


    “Mr. Langford, I’ve already investigated everything. It turns out that the reporter from the local newsroom


    was bribed in advance. He exaggerated the article’s contents in order to achieve the goal of ndering


    Miss Lynd’s reputation. The other tforms have also lifted their ban on her name as per your order…”


    When Tina heard the report, she couldn’t believe her ears at all. She muttered to herself, “Why


    are you helping me? Don’t you hate me?” “Grandma needs your care right now,” Samuel replied coldly.


    “Also, you’re still my wife. I can’t just sit here without extending a helping hand.” Even though Tina had


    done so many things that disgusted him greatly in the past, he would still be patient and settle the final


    score with her in the end. Before the arrival of that day, he refused to let anyone interfere with the


    matters that concerned both of them. This was his bottom line.


    Despite Samuel’s icy tone, Tina couldn’t help but feel affected by the word ‘wife. She almost forgot that


    she was married to Samuel, but she would never expect to hear him saying that particr word.


    “Wife…” Tina mumbled softly. “But the woman that you’ll ever acknowledge to be your wife is Cindy,


    right?” As usual, Samuel didn’t bother exining himself. However, Tina looked incredibly vulnerable


    tonight. Besides, she had already lost her mind due to her drunken state, so he didn’t want to be so


    critical of her. He exined coldly, “My rtionship with her isn’t what you think it is. She saved my life


    before. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have existed in this world. That’s why I’ve decided to view her as my


    sister and take care of her forever.” Tina was suddenly reminded by the time when she had to hide under


    the table to avoid Samuel. Back then, she had eavesdropped on a conversation as a result. Cindy and


    Samuel’s first meeting took ce after the abduction incident urred ten years ago. “Is it because of


    the abduction?” she asked subconsciously.
