Lahat ng Kabanata ng Jilted Heiress Strikes Back: Kabanata 111 - Kabanata 120

Raina raised her hand and gently rubbed Gale’s head. Forcing a smile, she said softly, “Alright, I’ll cooperate.”Gale nodded obediently and stepped aside. The two medical staff members came forward, and only after a thorough examination did they realize Raina had numerous wounds, some of them quite deep and still bleeding. Yet, despite this condition, she hadn’t let out a single cry of pain and had completed a surgery lasting several hours.The two medical staff were shocked and awed by her fortitude.One of them whispered, “Miss Carrington, these wounds are deep. If it hurts, you can cry out… it might make you feel better.”Raina smiled and replied, “It’s alright.”And it really was.Over the years, she’d suffered countless injuries—sometimes even broken limbs. She’d become so used to the pain that she’d grown numb to it. These injuries were truly nothing in comparison. She’d had arms and legs reattached before and still bounced back as if nothing had happened.Strangely, she though

After asking more than a dozen questions, aside from the fact that he couldn’t see and had mild head pain, there were no other obvious symptoms. This situation couldn’t be considered good, but it wasn’t exactly bad either.Once Leif woke up, Leo, Rael, and Gale all entered the room.As soon as they stepped into the ward, Leo rushed over, throwing himself at Leif, hugging him tightly, both laughing and crying at the same time, tears and snot all over his face, unable to speak clearly as he sobbed incoherently: “Bro… you scared me to death, I thought… Please don’t do this again, I was so scared… Bro, sobs…”By the end, he didn’t even know what he was saying, only that he wanted to cry while hugging Leif.Leif: “…”His expression turned faintly disgusted, and he slightly turned his head, saying to Rael beside him, “He got snot and tears all over me. Pull him off.”Leo jerked his head up and cried, “Bro, I was just worried about you, and you’re disgusted by me?”While crying, he expertly

Leo’s expression froze for a moment, the smile on his face abruptly halting. After a long pause, he gave a low chuckle, then turned his head to gaze at Rael. The corners of his mouth tugged slightly as he said, “How could I not be worried?”His voice was hoarse, ever so slightly — completely different from his usual carefree and unrestrained tone.Rael was stunned.Leo’s lips trembled, his eyes bloodshot, as if he had finally reached his breaking point. He buried his face in his hands and choked out, “...I just want him to live, that’s all. Really, Rael, do you know? I truly, just want my brother to live. Missing an arm, missing a leg, loving whoever he wants — none of that matters…”After a pause, he suddenly lifted his face, tears streaming uncontrollably down his cheeks.Amid the torrent of emotion, he spoke each word slowly and clearly, “As long as my brother is alive, that’s enough — that’s enough…”After a moment of silence, Rael reached out and wiped away the tears on his face,

Tessa leaned lazily against a pillar, a half-smile on her lips. “Just good friends?”After a pause, Rocky pressed a hand to his chest and said, “Honestly, we barely spoke back then. It was a long time ago. She even beat me up once… Maybe… maybe she’s already forgotten all about it. Maybe she wouldn’t even recognize me anymore.”Ever since he found out that Raina had returned to the country, he’d been fighting the urge to rush to her side and spill everything he’d held in for years—his happiness, his sorrows, the good and the bad. He wanted to tell her it all.But he couldn’t.Aside from that absurd encounter at Elaris Hall, where he watched her from afar, he didn’t dare appear before her. So many excuses, so many reasons—he’d delayed it again and again. But deep down, it was all because he was afraid.He knew in his heart that Raina might not remember him at all. But thinking about it was one thing. Hearing her say it aloud… was another.He was terrified.Tessa said, “Maybe… she does

Raina couldn’t help but glance again and asked, “A protective talisman?”She instinctively reached out to touch it, but recalling that Leif didn’t like being touched, she restrained herself and turned her gaze away... The charm hung just over his chest, the skin there unusually tan.So tan that it made one want to reach out and feel what it was like to touch it.While being supported as he walked, Leif answered, “Yes, it’s a small custom from my hometown.”“Oh,” Raina responded.After that “oh,” she said nothing more. Leif couldn’t help but glance sideways at her and asked, “Aren’t you curious what kind of custom it is?”Raina did want to ask, but she forced herself to stay silent.She didn’t quite understand why. When she first met Leif and moved into Wexford Lane, she hadn’t had all these complicated feelings. But somehow, the more she interacted with him, the more restrained and self-conscious she became. She could no longer act as carefree as before.She found herself quietly cari
