Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Chapter 314

Kenneth appeared refined, yet the muscles he showed hinted at commanding presence.

Ophelia frowned deeply, watching as more and more blood leaked through the bandage. Just as she was about to speak, her lips were captured by his kiss.

His kiss had a slight metallic taste of blood and his unique fresh scent. It felt like magic. As he kissed her, she found herself barely able to breathe, her once chaotic mind now entirely blank

Even the heavy pressure in her chest gradually eased and vanished with the kiss.

Kenneth kissed her even more boldly, slowly lowering her straps

"Kenneth, you can't-" Her cheeks turned crimson as she worriedly glanced at his wound, but he pinned her beneath him so she couldn't see anything. He kissed her again, this time softly, as if to comfort her.

After a long while, he whispered against her ear, breathing deeply, "Don't overthink it. We can write our own fate," Those words struck deeply into her heart.

She felt like he could read her mind. She couldn't hide her feelings from him; he saw right through her. He knew that because of DarkHawk's funeral, her thoughts would be troubled and she would be burdened with pressures she couldn't handle.

Overthinking didn't help.

Kenneth got up, put on his black shirt, and fastened a button. "Go call the doctor to change the bandage," He was intentionally keeping it from her.

"It's really nothing," Kenneth reassured, planning to pat her head when he noticed a smear of blood on his fingertip.

"Kenneth, are you trying to act tough in front of me? You can tell me if you're in pain," She could admit it to him, so he could too.

His face was already so pale, and the wound had bled so much, yet he still tried to calm her by saying he was fine. For a moment, she couldn't quite understand how she felt inside.

Kenneth stepped forward and hugged her. Half of his weight leaned on her. "Don't be mad. I'm not pretending to be tough. It's just a little injury. It really doesn't hurt." "Ouch," Kenneth groaned, drawing in a sharp breath
