Marrying My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin Chapter 504
When Isolde woke and opened her eyes, a familiar ceiling came into view.'Crestmont Estate…' Her heart settled at once.She turned her head and, as expected, saw Bruce.He wore a suit, but his tie was missing and his collar hung rumpled, creased from being tugged at who knew how many times.His handsome face was deathly pale. Dark circles weighed under his eyes, and stubble shadowed his chin, clear signs he had not slept for a long time. Red veins webbed his eyes.Isolde spoke with a pang of heartache, her voice dry. "Hubby..."Bruce's brow drew tight as he looked at her with intense worry. "You're awake? How do you feel? Is there anywhere you're uncomfortable?"Isolde checked herself and shook her head. "Just a slight headache. It's probably from sleeping too long."The knot in Bruce's throat finally loosened. Even so, his expression stayed grim.He fixed her with a hard, piercing stare, each word edged with restrained anger. "Why did you let Alan take you away on purpose?"

But with more than a dozen medicine bottles in hand, it felt like a lottery, and the odds of finding the right one were despairingly low."Mr. Princeton, there's no time left..." Nash urged in a low, steady whisper, "If she dies without treatment, Ms. Vancrest's death will only leave you with more regret."'So the solution is to risk the wrong medicine to avoid regret…' Alan's heart ached, but logic forced his hand. He chose a blue bottle, her favorite color."Isolde... this is your lucky color... You'll still be lucky today, right?"He opened it, and a bitter medicinal scent drifted out.Alan gritted his teeth, made his decision, and poured the contents into his own mouth."Mr. Princeton?!" Nash cried out, his face draining of color. "Why did you take it yourself? That could be poison!"Alan's throat worked as he swallowed. Then he doubled over and vomited a large mouthful of fresh blood. Pain tore through his stomach, twisting his features as his body shook uncontrollably."T

"Let go." Viper's voice turned cold.Alan did not comply. He jerked his head up and drove his forehead into Viper's face.The strike came at close range. Viper failed to evade it completely. His head snapped to the side, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.His eyes hardened.In the next instant, Alan flew backward and crashed into a table across the room.The table shattered. He hit the floor and spat out another mouthful of blood.Viper walked over and looked down at him. "For someone who doesn't love you, is it worth it?"Alan lay on the floor, his entire body aching as if it might come apart. He struggled to lift his head and spotted a black medical kit on a low coffee table near Viper's feet.That was the medical kit that could save Isolde.He did not answer. He braced himself against the floor and forced himself upright, swaying as he stood.Viper raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. Few people could still stand after taking one of his critical bl

Nash kicked the door open.It slammed wide.The room was large and well positioned for natural light, but the curtains were drawn, leaving it dim.Viper stood by the window in a dark robe, his face devoid of expression, like a statue."Mr. Princeton, did you come to die?" Viper asked flatly.Alan said nothing. He only waved a hand backward.The bodyguards surged in.The first five men through the door were thrown back out before they could even register how Viper moved. They slammed into the wall with dull thuds and slid to the floor, unable to rise.Alan's pupils tightened. 'Too fast!'"Keep going!" he said through gritted teeth.The second group rushed in.This time, Alan saw it clearly. Viper's hands left afterimages. A palm struck the lead man in the chest, and the crack of breaking bones rang out.At the same time, Viper stepped aside to avoid two machetes, then drove his knee into another man's abdomen. The man doubled over and flew back, knocking down three others be

"Shut up!" Alan lashed out with a violent kick.Sandra, caught off guard, was thrown to the floor. She lay there, vomiting fresh blood, yet she kept laughing. The sound was frantic, her tears blurring her face. "Alan Princeton, Isolde is going to die... You killed her... Hahaha...""No... No..." Alan stumbled back to the bedside, his hands trembling as he reached for Isolde.Warm, sticky blood still poured from Isolde's mouth, staining his hands, his sleeves, and his chest red."Isolde... Isolde!" he screamed, his voice turning hoarse as panic pushed him to the edge of reason.Isolde struggled to open her eyes. When she saw his pained expression, she felt only deep disgust. 'If he had not been so foolish, why would I be suffering like this? Crocodile tears.'"Hospital… Quick, take me... to the hospital..."Alan snapped out of his daze, as if waking from a dream. He unlocked her chains in haste, lifted her into his arms, and turned toward the door."It's useless." Sandra could n

Alan gave a calm, bitter smile. "Saying all this is useless. No matter what I say or do, it won't change your decision. You don't want me anymore."I know you're stalling for time, waiting for Bruce to come save you. But am I not also waiting for you to save my life?"Isolde, just this once, forgive my selfishness. I'll make it up to you properly in the future."He reached out and pinched Isolde's chin. His grip was so strong that she could not break free. "Be good. Drink it, and love and hate will both start over.""Mmph!" The cold mouth of the bottle pressed against her lips, and the bitter liquid was forced down.Isolde struggled desperately. The chains clattered loudly.Still, the liquid slid down her throat.Alan withdrew his hand and looked at her with anticipation."Wifey, have a good sleep." He spoke softly, his face filled with an almost pious joy. "When you wake up, the first person you see will be me. We'll start over, and this time everything will be fine."Isolde

"Ludwig! How dare you! After all the trust I placed in you, you turned out to be a traitor?" Atlas barked.Ludwig Princeton grinned smugly. "No. Atlas, the wise adapt to the times. We simply made the most sensible choice.""You! You!" Atlas' fingers shook with rage as he pointed at those who had s

"Isolde!" Alan sounded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He hissed sharply, trying to mask his embarrassment with anger. "I know I was wrong. I apologized, and I am trying to make it right. Can't you stop clinging to the past?"Isolde looked at him expressionlessly. Her eyes were terrifyin

Isolde was a rational yet soft hearted person.Alan slowly loosened his grip and said, "Send Grandpa off properly."Isolde walked to the bedside and slowly crouched down, speaking softly. "Grandpa.""Isolde…" Cheron's voice was as faint as a mosquito's hum."Grandpa, what did you say? I can't he

"It's Bruce!" Sandra looked heartbroken and furious. "I checked. It was Bruce who sent people. He hates you. He couldn't take the Princetons' inheritance, so he wanted you to lose your mother just like him…"Alan's fingers clenched until his knuckles whitened. His eyes burned red, flooded with grie
