Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1056: Why Are You Shy?

Tanya Sullivan slowly curled her red lips and raised her hand to wipe her damp little face.

Just then, a rope suddenly swung from behind and wrapped around Tanya’s neck, immediately making her feel breathless.

It turned out to be Carney Shaw on the ground who hadn’t stopped breathing yet. Driven by an intense unwillingness and resentment, he intended to take Tanya down with him, even in death. With a grimace, he used his last breath to loop the rope around Tanya’s neck.

Tanya wanted to struggle, but her entire right shoulder had been pierced, and now the sharp weapon was still lodged in her bones and flesh. She had no strength left.

Her small oval face slowly turned red. Tanya felt her eyelids growing heavier. Was she about to die?

Was she really going to die just like this?

Tanya’s little hand slowly and weakly dropped down. She felt so sleepy and just wanted to fall asleep.

Tanya closed her eyes.

At this moment, with a "boom," the wooden door of the cabin was suddenly kicked open from outside.

The loud noise startled Tanya awake. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the tightly shut cabin door being pushed open. Bright sunlight poured in, and within the golden glow, a tall and upright figure slowly walked in.

He came against the light, forcefully breaking into her vision.

Who was that?

The person walked towards her with strong, firm steps, then knelt on one knee in front of her. Tanya saw clearly—it was... Cain Shaw!

Cain had come!

He had actually woken up.

At this moment, Cain reached out, and Tanya felt the rope around her neck instantly loosen. Caught off guard, the fresh air surged in, and she began to cough violently.

Cough, cough.

Tanya felt that she must look quite disheveled at the moment, with tears, sweat, and blood on her face, as dirty as a little flower cat.

Then she heard Cain’s voice above her. He had just awakened, and his deep, magnetic voice carried a hint of hoarseness and amusement, "Tanya Sullivan, are you tired of living, coming here to seek death?"

Tanya looked up at him. He was still handsome, but a layer of stubble on his jaw gave him a deep, mature, and story-like charm, even more manly.

"If I die, you don’t have to feel guilty because it’s none of your business. I must avenge my father," Tanya said, touching her reddened neck.

Cain raised an eyebrow and gave her a glance, then reached out and lifted her up horizontally.

Her body suddenly became weightless in mid-air. Tanya was so frightened that she wrapped her arms around his neck, a reaction that was almost instinctive, but she quickly realized this position was too intimate and highly inappropriate. "Put me down. I don’t need you to carry me. I can walk myself."

"Are you sure you can walk?" Cain touched her blood-soaked right shoulder.

Tanya instantly gasped in pain, nearly fainting.

But she was very stubborn and glared at him, cursing through clenched teeth, "Despicable!"

After saying this, her whole body slumped, her small face, barely the size of a palm, weakly pressed against his robust chest.

Cain knew how much pain she was in because the sharp weapon was still lodged in her shoulder, but she gritted her teeth and didn’t make a sound.

He wasn’t mistaken—she was wild, fierce, and resilient, like a wild horse. Any man who wanted to conquer her needed to have a pasture at home.

Carney Shaw was still lying on the ground. He had just missed taking Tanya with him by a hair’s breadth, and Cain had suddenly arrived. How could he not be furious?

Carney looked at Cain, "You... you..."

He couldn’t even speak a complete sentence.

Cain, holding Tanya in his arms, looked down at Carney, the girl of just over 80 pounds in his arms feeling like a doll. He curled his lips, "Carney Shaw, you know everything, can calculate anything, so how did you not think about how to keep yourself alive?"

"..." Carney was so furious he could have died again.

Cain carried Tanya away.

...

Hayden Crawford and Justin Xavier had rushed over, quickly taking care of Carney’s subordinates.

In the cabin, Serena Sterling frowned immediately at the weapon piercing Tanya’s shoulder. "I need to remove the weapon inside right away. Is there any anesthetic here, or even anesthetic herbs will do."

Leah Thorne, upon seeing Tanya’s wound, was so frightened that her legs went weak. She had always led a very privileged life and was most afraid of pain, already feeling the pain for Tanya. "Serena... Serena, the conditions here are rudimentary. The village doctor here was so scared he ran away, and there’s nothing anesthetic around."

Serena looked at Tanya and decisively said, "Tanya, I must operate immediately, but there’s no anesthesia. It will hurt a lot. Can you endure it?"

Leah gasped, "Operating without anesthesia, that... could be fatal..."

Tanya spoke up, uttering two words, "Go ahead."

Serena looked over at Cain Shaw, "Cain, come here. I need your help."

Cain walked over. "Tell me, what should I do?"

"Cain, help me hold down Tanya’s body. People tend to struggle when in severe pain."

"Okay." Cain nodded.

Serena took out her silver needles and started the operation.

Leah was dumbfounded on the side. So... this surgery was starting just like that?

"Wait a moment, Tanya, here’s a pillow for you. When the pain becomes unbearable, bite the pillow. Be careful not to bite your tongue off." Leah handed a pillow to Tanya.

Tanya reached out to take it.

At this moment, Leah quickly bent down, whispering in Cain’s ear, "Brother, when Tanya can’t bear the pain later, just give her a kiss."

What?

Cain gave Leah a look.

Leah playfully winked, meaning, Brother, I’m teaching you some flirting tricks. Take it, no thanks necessary.

Cain, "..."

Serena heated up the scalpel and instructed, "Cain, help take off Tanya’s outer garment."

Undress...

Cain raised his eyebrows, his gaze moving from Tanya’s little face to her collar.

Two blushes bloomed immediately on Tanya’s pale face. Her jacket buttons had long been fastened by her, so no one knew she was wearing an embroidered red bellyband underneath. If Cain took it off...

"I’ll do it myself."

Just as Tanya finished speaking, Cain had already raised his hand to her collar, "Tanya Sullivan, what are you shy about? There’s still another layer underneath, right? Or are you... commando?"

What did he say?

Commando... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Tanya felt an overwhelming urge to bite him.

Just then, with a ripping sound, Cain, with no patience to unbutton a woman’s clothing one by one, directly tore it open.

Tanya immediately felt the chill on her skin, and the bright red mandarin duck bellyband she wore appeared directly in Cain’s sight.

Cain paused, completely not expecting her to be wearing this.
