Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1143: What She Fears Is Your Heart

"Don’t say it!" Dianna immediately refused, "I don’t want to hear it right now!"

"Dianna, I like you." Mort suddenly said.

Dianna shivered, immediately curled her red lips, "Really?"

"However, ever since you liked me, I realized I’m not that into you anymore. Your boring and clingy nature doesn’t interest me anymore." Mort added.

Dianna’s heart sank to the bottom, and at that moment, Mort pried her hand open and pushed her away mercilessly.

Dianna’s small, oval face turned pale, devoid of any color. She looked at Mort, her eyes red, and said, "Why are you saying this now? Why didn’t you say it when we were in bed before?"

"Cain, I hate you!"

With that, Dianna left.

Dianna left.

Kate Lee let out a big sigh of relief, stepped forward, and reached out to support Mort, "Mort, you..."

Mort immediately avoided her touch, and three words slipped out from his thin lips, "Don’t touch me!"

Kate’s hand froze in mid-air.

"Mort." Charles stepped forward.

"All of you go out, I want to be alone for a while." Mort drove both Charles and Kate out.

...

Dianna returned to her room just as Justin Xavier and Leah Thorne arrived.

"Dianna, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so pale? Did you not sleep well last night?" Leah asked with concern.

Dianna shook her head, "It’s nothing, Leah, I’ve found your brother."

"Really? Dianna, where is my brother now?" Leah was overjoyed, she didn’t expect Dianna to find her brother so quickly.

"Your brother is now in the East Wing District, you can go see him now."

"Great, Dianna, let’s go see my brother together." Leah held onto Dianna’s small hand.

But Dianna didn’t move.

"Dianna, what’s wrong? Did you have a fight with my brother?"

Dianna didn’t answer that question, "Leah, when is Sister Summer arriving?"

"She’ll be here tomorrow."

"Then I’ll leave here tomorrow when she arrives." With that, Dianna went into her room.

Leah was even more puzzled. She looked at Justin Xavier, "Honey, what’s wrong with Dianna?"

Justin Xavier shrugged with his hands in his pockets, "Go ask your brother and find out."

"Ridiculous, it must be my brother who upset Dianna! Dianna is such a good girl, my brother doesn’t know how lucky he is, I’m going to find him and make him explain!" Leah stormed off to confront Mort.

...

Leah knocked on Mort’s door with a "bang, bang, bang," "Brother, it’s me, open the door!"

Mort was in the room the whole time, his poison acted up, his head felt dizzy, and his body temperature was rising as if he were about to have a fever.

Hearing his sister’s voice, he didn’t open the door, just frowned and said, "Leah, why are you here, stop messing around, go back immediately!"

"Brother, we’re worried about you, that’s why we’re here. Let me ask you, did you upset Dianna?" Leah asked angrily.

Upon hearing Dianna’s name, Mort felt like his heart was gripped tightly, "Is she alright?"

"No, she’s not! Brother, do you know what Dianna has been through during your absence? Her mother forced her to marry Yuric Thatcher, and the Tang families secretly prepared the wedding without telling her, but on the wedding day, Dianna ran away, she came here to find you!"

What?

Mort froze, did she really run away from the wedding?

Earlier, he wanted so much to ask her about Yuric Thatcher, but he didn’t dare. He could only pretend to be heartless and pretend to be annoyed by her, pushing her away. He didn’t know she ran away from the wedding.

Which means, she didn’t marry Yuric Thatcher!

"Brother, I’m your sister, I know you’re not a jerk, you must like Dianna, but you have too many concerns, and with your identity and current health, you have every reason to unjustifiably push Dianna away. But brother, do you know what we women hate the most, it’s when men presumptuously think they are doing things for our good!"

"Haven’t you figured out Dianna’s personality? This runaway wedding has caused a huge scandal, she gave up everything and came all the way to the Miao region for you, she’s so courageous, loving someone without reservations, more than any of us."

"Dianna has never been afraid to face hardships with you, no matter how difficult or dangerous it may be, she’s not afraid. What she’s afraid of is your heart."

"Your heart is always so indecisive, three years ago you pushed her away, now you’re pushing her away again. When she’s finally disappointed enough, she’ll really leave."

"Brother, I won’t bother with you anymore, do whatever you like, Serena will arrive here tomorrow, Dianna said she’ll leave when she arrives."

With that, Leah also left.

The room was quiet again, but Leah’s words kept echoing in Mort’s mind, he didn’t know how much courage it took for Dianna to run away from the wedding, she always gave him her everything.

In comparison, he had too many concerns, always stopping and starting, loving him must be exhausting.

Mort mocked himself with a slight curve of his thin lips, the next second his vision went black, and the tall man of one meter ninety collapsed with a "boom."

He fainted.

Infection from the wound on Mort’s body led to a persistent high fever, Kate measured the temperature, it was already 42 degrees.

If this continues, he’s at risk of serious brain damage from the fever.

Charles was also by the bedside, he reached out to touch the man in the bed, his forehead was as hot as a fireball.

"Kiki, quickly get some fever reducers, I’ll make a wooden tub, fill it with cold water, and use it to physically cool Mort down," Charles said.

"Alright."

Charles and Kate left together.

...

No one was in the room, Mort lay on the bed alone. His lips were dry, to the point of peeling, in his feverish state, he kept dreaming.

Thirsty.

So thirsty.

At this moment, a soft and clear voice sounded near his ear, "Cain, are you thirsty? Want some water?"

His brush-like eyelashes trembled, he opened his eyes, and Dianna’s cold and stunning little face appeared in his vision.

Dianna had arrived.

He looked at her, without saying anything.

Dianna’s petite body pressed down, inch by inch approaching him, the light milky fragrance from the girl invaded his senses.

Thirsty.

Getting thirstier.

He swallowed hard.

At this moment, a softness landed on his dry lips, the girl’s small hands rested on his strong chest, she kissed him.

Her clear black and white eyes stared at him, dewy, "Cain, does it quench your thirst?"

He immediately reached out his large hand, weaving through her hair, held the back of her head, opened his mouth, and kissed her.

Flipping over, pinning her beneath him, he kissed her deeply, leaving her breathless.

He was like a small fish about to dry up, suddenly encountering a sweet spring, he was drinking eagerly from this sweet spring.
