Pain.
Excruciating pain.
In a daze, I somewhat heard a pleasant voice.
A clear pain was felt in her ankle. This was Britney's first sensation upon waking up.
In the blink of an eye, Britney seemed to see a man. However, the sudden brightness made Britney close her eyes again.
Recalling the terrifying scene before, Britney was still shaken. She almost thought she was going to have a car accident, but unexpectedly, the two cars collided and she narrowly escaped with her life
"Where am I?" Britney asked.
"Hospital!" a deep and magnetic voice resonated in Britney's ears.
Britney couldn't help but open her eyes, and in the backlight, a man dressed in green appeared before her eyes. It must be said that the man's appearance and the outstanding aura emanating from him were more than just a little impressive.
With a handsome and uncast appearance, graceful demeanor, and dignified and steady bearing, his words, like a gentle breeze in spring, are captivating. His voice is also pleasant to listen to, as rich as a cello.
It seemed as if everything around him became a backdrop because of his presence.
Britney suddenly remembered what her innocently sweet best friend had said to her.
In this lifetime, never marry a guardian!
Marrying a guardian! It's like becoming a widow, hardly seeing each other for a year, and in the end, having to maintain purity for him!
And the people in the training area were also very boring...
The man's deep eyes also gazed at Britney, fair skin, a straight and delicate nose, slightly parted lips, warm and full, a face so beautiful that it was beyond description.
Noticing his gaze, Britney looked up.
In a flash, four eyes met.
"Did you hit me?" Britney looked at him, questioning.
The man remained silent for two seconds and then said, "Yes!"
"How do you plan to compensate me?" Britney continued to scrutinize the man in front of her.
"Just name your price!" Still simple and short.
"I don't need money!"
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a woman walked in and disregardedly lifted Britney's hand, looking inside and outside.
"Are you okay?"
With the arrival of the girl, Britney recalled the phone call she vaguely heard, which was probably him asking Karsyn Melton to come over. Faced with the nervousness of her childhood best friend towards herself, tears welled up in her eyes, "Karsyn! I'm fine!"
"Speak up! What do you want?" The man remained indifferent.
"So you're the one who hit my Britney? Fortunately, I called you. Otherwise, this person would surely have fled to avoid punishment." Karsyn turned around and only then carefully examined the man in the room, and in that instant when she turned back, she was momentarily taken aback.
Britney grabbed Karsyn and, taking advantage of her distraction, said to the man, "Marry me!"
"Britney, did you lose your mind?" Karsyn snapped back to reality and pointed at the man in the room, raising her voice, "Did he knock some sense out of you? Are you going to marry him?"
"Although he was quite handsome... but you can't be deceived by looks!" Karsyn would never admit that when she saw this person, she was also amazed!
There was suddenly a sense of humor in the air. Britney looked up and met the man's cold gaze, feeling a strange sense of panic...
Britney adjusted her emotions. "Karsyn, believe me!"
Karsyn couldn't help but obediently listen every time her best friend spoke so seriously and sternly.
Britney turned to the man and said, "Marry me, I will support you!"
Without waiting for the man to respond, Karsyn couldn't help but get angry again. "Britney, did you hit your head or something? Have you forgotten that you're getting married in three days? And it's Conrad, the one you love the most. Is he threatening you... I'm calling the police!"
However, between the other two people, there was not the slightest tolerance for disturbance.
The man paused for a moment and asked in return, "Are you sure?"
Britney looked the man straight in the eye, without a hint of hesitation. "I'm not crazy, I'm sure."
"Okay! Wait for me..."
The man left with firm words and got up to leave.
Only a tall and slender figure was left behind.
"I...this..." Karsyn felt completely ignored and plopped down on the chair. "Britney, who is he?"
"I don't know!" Britney shrugged.
"What?" Karsyn was completely confused, "You don't know who it is, and you want to marry him? Do you realize that the person you want to marry is Conrad!"
"You hit the nail on the head!" Britney didn't answer, she shrugged and said helplessly.
Facing Karsyn's bewildered expression, Britney said directly, "I was cheated on!"
"That angelic b***h?"
Britney didn't deny it, nodding her head. 'Angelic b***h' is how Karsyn refers to Britney's so-called cousin. Karsyn had once warned Britney about Stephanie, but she chose to believe in Conrad...
Now... thinking about it is really ridiculous... to the extreme!
"He had the nerve to cheat! I’m going to teach him a lesson, damn it!" Karsyn said, grabbing her bag and standing up.
"Karsyn!" Britney exclaimed, putting a stop to it.
"My dear sister! At this moment, you wouldn't still be thinking about forgiving them and letting them off the hook, would you?" Karsyn was held back by Britney. With a face full of resentment, she was truly furious.
"Karsyn, I wanted to handle it myself!"
Britney smiled at Karsyn, reassuring her.
This matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface! However, she didn't want innocent Karsyn to know about these things. She clearly felt that the car had murderous intentions towards her...
Since this time, she was not killed by the collision! Then she must make the other party pay an equal price...
"But, you can't just marry someone you don't know! You knew nothing about him!"
Britney knew very well that Karsyn's got a lively personality and couldn't stand marrying a man who seemed so indifferent. However, it's different for her. She pulled Karsyn close and looked into her eyes, saying word by word, "He seems to have no interest in women!"
"Did he have any issues in that aspect?"
Britney knocked onher head and said, "What are you thinking? Have you been reading too many dirty books?"
On the other side, the man had just left the room, and was walking down the long corridor of the hospital, followed by a muscular man.
"The man had already died on the way to the hospital," the man lowered his head. "He had a criminal record and had just been released! I just received the test report, it was a case of drunk driving!"
Taking the report handed over by the man, his gaze paused for two seconds.
"Go back first!"
Looking back, Britney collapsed in his arms, and a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of the man's mouth.
"Now?"
The man did not speak, but the man seemed to understand.
Afterwards, the man followed the man and got in the elevator.
