Peter and I stayed close. Our bodies were still pressed against each other. Though they were slightly stiff, his hands still rested on my waist.

I stole a peek at him. His ears were bright red. When I saw that, I could not help but chuckle. He, however, grew so nervous that he began to stammer.

  • I Hurt Myself For Love   Chapter 8

    Peter and I stayed close. Our bodies were still pressed against each other. Though they were slightly stiff, his hands still rested on my waist.I stole a peek at him. His ears were bright red. When I saw that, I could not help but chuckle. He, however, grew so nervous that he began to stammer.“I heard you say you were married, so I just wanted to follow up and have your back. I didn’t really think about it. I didn’t mean to overstep.”I looked at him seriously.The professor arranged for us to have the cover identity of a married couple. To say there was no hidden motive would be an absolute lie. Back in our university days, the professor had always been subtly trying to set me up with Peter.However, at the time, I was arrogant and rebellious. Because of that, the professor’s persistent matchmaking and Peter’s gentle, eager-to-please demeanor only caused me to lean away.But at this moment, I saw things differently.The truth was, he only ever showed that eager-to-please side

  • I Hurt Myself For Love   Chapter 7

    At the airport, just as I was checking my ticket, someone forcefully grabbed me from behind and wrapped their arms tightly around my waist. As soon as I saw who it was, a wave of revulsion washed over me. I struggled with all my might.Benedict looked at me with tears of joy streaming down his face. The elation of having found me again surged through him. He said excitedly, “El, you’re alive! Thank God!”My wounds had barely begun to heal. His sudden movements tore the stitches open and caused blood to seep out.Benedict carefully released me, as if I were a fragile treasure.“El, where are you flying to?”I shook him off with a disgusted expression.“Mister, I don’t even know you. Back off, or I’m calling the police.”Benedict stared at me in disbelief.“El! What are you saying? It’s me, Benedict! I’m your husband, your lawfully wedded husband!”Desperate to prove it, he reached for my hand and accidentally knocked my ID card.Overjoyed, he snatched it up before I could.

    Benedict’s eyes lit up. He answered immediately.“El? Is that you? Where are you right now?”He did not even realize that he spoke in a hopeful and gentle tone.But the caller’s words doused him like a bucket of cold water.“Mr. Cole, my flight was delayed, and I just landed. Can you send me the address?”Benedict was stunned.“What flight? What are you talking about?!”The other person paused for a moment, then spoke clearly, “This is Dr. Tucker Walsh, the psychiatrist you reached out to online. Did I dial the wrong number?”Benedict’s head buzzed. He could no longer hear anything except a persistent, ringing silence. He suddenly remembered the desperate, pleading look on Ellora’s face as she had begged him for help.He recalled the glaring unprofessionalism of those two so-called doctors. He wanted to blame Tucker, but then he saw the chat history. Tucker had informed him of his travel plans long ago. He had just not seen it because he had been with Melissa the whole time.

    Helen could no longer hold back her tears. She thought about how she had treated Ellora like a real daughter all these years. Ellora would sometimes even go above and beyond what her own two sons had done.“The warehouse where you sent El for treatment caught fire. The firefighters just left. I sent people to search the place, but there wasn’t a single trace left.”This news shook Benedict to his core. An overwhelming sense of dread and loss washed over him. He forced a faint, bitter smile and waved his hand as if it were nothing.“Mom, my head is a mess right now. Don’t joke about this. I just called the doctors earlier. They said El was sleeping soundly.”As he said that, he desperately tried to find some signs that Helen was lying.But Helen did not give him what he wanted.“Why would I lie to you at a time like this?”She frowned deeply. In that instant, she seemed to have aged ten years.“I watched the security footage from the house. I’m so disappointed in you. You blam

    As Helen rushed anxiously into the venue, Benedict was already engulfed in rage.No matter who placed a bid, he outbid them by double. He looked like he was determined to burn through his entire fortune. However, for some reason, the other VIP section seemed determined to lock horns with Benedict. They kept raising the price relentlessly.Melissa was frantic with worry. When she spotted Helen’s arrival, she quickly hurried over.“Mom, you need to talk some sense into him! He’s about to spend our entire life savings on buying those naked photos of Ellora! That woman has no shame. Her husband is barely cold in the ground, and she’s already out finding other men to pleasure herself with. Why should we bother protecting the reputation of some loose woman like her?!”Helen, who was usually so mild-mannered, remained silent. She coldly brushed off Melissa’s hand, and her expression was terrifyingly stern. The oppressive authority of a matriarch radiated from her, carrying a ruthless inte

    In the hospital, Benedict studied Melissa’s report. After confirming that all her vital signs were normal, he let out a long, relieved sigh.Only then did he recall the pitiful state Ellora had been found in, locked inside that warehouse. A painful breath stuttered out of his chest at the memory. Then, another one flashed through his mind, and his heart softened. Ellora was speaking to him about their future, acting coy while mentioning having children and raising them together.After hesitating for a long while, he sent a message to the two doctors with a word of caution.[Don’t go too hard on the electroshock. It’s not good for her.]He felt reassured upon receiving their affirmative reply. Once things here were settled, once Melissa had given birth to the child, he would finally be able to return to his own little life with his true wife.Ellora might act upset at first, but he knew she loved him too much to hold it against him forever. He smiled as he imagined the days to come
