I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 543 - 541 Oh it hurts, Wife! (5)
Lifting his gaze, Nathan Leafcastle saw Vera Wave facing Kris Cooper, looking at Krisโs face with deep concern. ๐ณ๐๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐๐ป๐ผ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฅ.๐๐๐ฆ
Kris Cooper feigned pain, all while shooting Nathan a look mixed with provocation and smugness.
Vera Wave stared intently at his face for a good while but found no signs of redness or swelling.
"Your face looks fine. Itโs not red or swollen. Where does it hurt?"
Kris Cooper frowned, pulling the young woman into his embrace.
"He must have given me internal injuries! Ouch... my heart aches so much!"
Hearing the tone of his voice, she knew he was perfectly fine. Annoyed, Vera Wave punched him on the chest.
"Youโre terrible! You scared me to death!"
Kris Cooper lowered his head and kissed her hair. "Mmm... much better now!"
Realizing Kris Cooper was doing all this deliberately, Nathan Leafcastle seethed with anger, yet felt utterly powerless.
From start to finish, Vera Wave hadnโt even glanced at him; in her eyes, there was only Kris Cooper. This realization pained him far more than Kris Cooperโs punch.
Just then, Vera Wave turned from Kris Cooperโs embrace and looked at Nathan Leafcastle with concern.
"Brother Nathan, are... are you okay?"
What man would willingly show weakness in front of the woman he loved?
Although his stomach was still cramping painfully, Nathan Leafcastle straightened up. Gritting his teeth against the pain, he managed a smile for her.
"Iโm fine!"
"Iโm not!" Kris Cooper gestured to Security with his chin. "Call the police and tell them someone assaulted me!"
The young woman had arrived too quickly. Heโd only landed one punch; it was far from satisfying!
"Kris!" Vera Wave turned back and shook his arm. "Just let it go."
"He hit me, and I should just let it go?"
"No... he didnโt actually hit you, did he? Besides... you punched him too, I saw it all!" Vera Wave shook his arm again, pleading in a low voice, "Please, darling, letโs just drop it, okay?"
Kris Cooper raised his right hand and extended one finger.
The young woman pouted and shot him a glare, but in the end, she rose on her tiptoes and gave him a light peck on the lips.
The two of them were already so in sync that she understood what he meant without him needing to say a word.
Kris Cooper put his arm around her shoulders. "Alright, since my dear wife is interceding, Iโll just consider myself bitten by a dog and not pursue it!"
Even though he wasnโt going to press charges, he still had to get in a sarcastic jab.
Vera Wave reached out and gave his waist a firm pinch.
"Honey, donโt touch me like that, it tickles!"
Her face flushed red with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance. She glanced at Nathan Leafcastle, then at Dr. Winson Summerton, and it suddenly dawned on her. She immediately pulled Kris Cooperโs hand off her shoulder.
"Dr. Summerton, Brother Nathan... Iโm sorry, my phone... itโs having some issues, I canโt use it."
"Thatโs quite alright." Dr. Winson Summerton was now smiling. "So, when can we talk?"
"Well..." Vera Wave glanced at Kris Cooper. "Doctor, I... Iโve given it serious thought, and I donโt want to continue with the treatment. Iโm truly sorry to have troubled you to come all this way."
Dr. Winson Summerton and Nathan Leafcastle both looked astonished.
"Why?" Dr. Winson Summerton immediately asked.
Of course, Vera Wave was too embarrassed to say that she had promised Kris Cooper. She merely shrugged. "Iโve been too busy lately. I donโt have the time!"
"Vera!" Nathan Leafcastle exclaimed, unable to accept it. "Why are you putting yourself through this?"
"Brother Nathan, I know you mean well." Vera Waveโs lips curved into a slight smile. "Iโm not suffering. I think Iโm doing perfectly fine right now."
"Thatโs nonsense!"
Nathan Leafcastle took a step forward and grabbed her arm.

Goodnight, princesses!
