Reborn on Wedding Night: Flirting the Cold Bigshot into Blushes-Chapter 282: She Cares About Me

It was as if Julius Shaw had been bewitched by a siren, moving closer and closer. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

She was his.

He wanted to keep her by his side forever; no one could take her away.

The darkness in Julius Shaw’s eyes grew deeper, and Nancy Allen let out a muffled groan.

Julius Shaw suddenly regained his senses, releasing his hand as if scalded; her wrist now bore a patch of bruises.

He had hurt her again.

He couldn’t control his errors at all.

Nancy’s current body was like a fragile porcelain doll, easily broken.

Julius Shaw pushed Nancy aside and got up to flee.

But Nancy grabbed Godfery Shaw’s hand firmly, resolutely saying, "Don’t go!"

Because of successive speech, the wound in her throat that had been torn started bleeding again, seeping from the corner of her mouth.

Julius Shaw was truly panicked.

He wanted to shake off Nancy and run away quickly, fearing he’d hurt her again.

Yet, the situation was such that her refusal meant his escape would also hurt her.

Julius Shaw didn’t know what to do.

After the greenhouse was broken five years ago, the two personalities were mutually aware; Godfery Shaw knew how poor Nancy’s health was, and so did Julius Shaw.

He was afraid; afraid that if he harmed Nancy today, he would regret it for a lifetime.

The Julius Shaw, who could pierce a target on the wall into riddled holes in a fit of rage, was gripped by her weak little hands.

He dared not break free, his voice suppressed to the extreme with a touch of pleading: "Don’t speak anymore, I won’t leave, I’ll get you the medicine."

Only then did Nancy let go.

She was a person who was harsh with others and harsh with herself.

She knew Godfery cared about her; this retreat wasn’t because of Webb, perhaps it was because she hurt Godfery and fell into self-blame.

If Godfery couldn’t come out of it, she’d forcibly pull him out.

Nancy sat quietly on the edge of the bed, waiting for Godfery to bring her medicine.

Julius Shaw ran out of the room; he’d hurt Nancy again. He wanted to stab himself but didn’t dare, because injury would only amplify his rage.

Oral sedatives weren’t effective; he injected himself with a sedative.

The dosage was already at its limit; increasing it further would create problems. If he had problems, no one else could take care of Nancy.

Julius Shaw took Nancy’s medication and returned to her room.

Nancy sat quietly on the edge of the bed, blood still at the corner of her lips.

Julius Shaw felt a twinge in his heart, took the medicine out, and placed it into Nancy’s palm.

Nancy put it directly into her mouth, and Julius Shaw couldn’t serve her hot water in time, so he quickly fed the hot water to Nancy’s lips.

After taking the medicine, Nancy sat stubbornly in place.

Only when Julius Shaw lay beside her did she lie down.

The two slept side by side.

She leaned on his shoulder.

Whether it was the effect of the sedative or being close to her, Julius Shaw surprisingly felt his agitation gradually subside.

Nancy was already tired today; after this repeated turmoil, she fell asleep leaning on his shoulder.

The room fell into a peaceful atmosphere, and Julius Shaw felt content for the first time.

Julius Shaw lay there for a long time, when suddenly his expression turned cold, and the personality belonging to Godfery Shaw spoke: "I said no appearances at night."

Julius Shaw’s face changed; he looked deeply at Nancy, placed a pillow where he had been lying, and quickly left the room.

Outside the room, he said with hostility: "It’s your uselessness that made that woman hurt her; that woman should have been dealt with long ago. Webb treats you like a monster, a bargaining chip for money; why are you soft-hearted! If you remain so indecisive, brother, why not let me protect her?"

Godfery Shaw spoke with a cold and calculating tone: "Ha, protect her? You, a personality who can’t control your emotions, you’d only hurt her. What gives you the right to say you’ll protect her."

Julius Shaw responded somewhat violently: "You’re talking nonsense! I won’t anymore; I can control myself."

Godfery Shaw said indifferently: "Even if you can control it, it doesn’t matter; it’s me she cares about!"

At this moment, it was like Godfery’s personality had seized control of the body.

He walked to the study, opened the computer, and retrieved earlier surveillance footage of the hall.

The hall had always been under surveillance; Godfery Shaw was used to having everything in sight.

He was skeptical and insecure, installing surveillance even at home, not allowing anyone to appear where he couldn’t see.

At this moment, the surveillance footage clearly showed how Webb entered, and what she did after coming in.

It also showed why Nancy spoke up.

Godfery Shaw’s eyes softened a little, saying: "Nancy was protecting me; she said someone like Webb, I should still show kindness towards. She was defending my kindness. Have you ever thought, what you thought was vulnerability is what she likes about you. She likes the me who always stands beside her; she cares about me, not the you who appears and hurts her every time!"

After Julius Shaw finished speaking, his gaze became clearer, the other personality receded.

Godfery Shaw turned off the computer, satisfiedly flexing his wrist.

Sometimes, in retrospect, it’s both funny and sad; he and Julius Shaw were the same person, yet they were mutually guarded and stimulated, each trying to be the dominant one.

The last time Julius Shaw had the upper hand, he offered terms of appearing at any time, Godfery Shaw could only agree, adding the condition that nighttime was not permitted, nor was it allowed when she didn’t want to see him.

This time, Godfery Shaw had the upper hand; he told Julius Shaw that Nancy liked him, Godfery Shaw, so Julius Shaw receded.

Returning to Godfery Shaw, he went to the bathroom to rinse with cold water, trying to calm down before returning to Nancy’s room.

In the room, she wasn’t sleeping very soundly.

Godfery Shaw moved quietly, slowly lying beside her.

He turned sideways, facing her.

Only when she was asleep, when she couldn’t see, did he dare to look at her so wantonly.

In her dreams, Nancy seemed to feel the familiar presence and instinctively leaned towards Godfery Shaw.

Godfery Shaw had just rinsed with cold water; his body was still a bit chilly, and Nancy shifted restlessly as she leaned towards him.

Godfery Shaw suddenly regretted showering with cold water earlier.

If he intended to get close to her, how could he let himself be cold!

He gently embraced Nancy, his body temperature gradually warming, and the furrowed brows of Nancy slowly relaxed.

Godfery Shaw’s insomnia was severe; when Nancy wasn’t there, he considered sleeping three hours a night with medication to be very good.

When Nancy returned to Imperial Garden that night, fell ill with a fever, he kept vigil all night.

These days, he basically hadn’t slept.

He thought that since he couldn’t sleep, simply quietly watching her would be good enough.

But at some point, Godfery Shaw actually fell asleep.

If Hailey Smith and Basil Smith were here, they would probably want to kowtow to their Young Madam; this wasn’t just sleeping, it was saving the life of the eldest.

Godfery Shaw slept deeply this time, the deepest sleep in five years.

When he awoke, morning sunlight squeezed through the gaps in the curtains, falling onto Nancy, it appeared as if Nancy was bathed in golden light.

Nancy couldn’t see, nor did she know Godfery Shaw awoke, she was secretly, quietly giving Godfery Shaw a peck on the cheek.

Godfery Shaw woke up completely surprised.
