The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 877

Lillian’s heart trembled, thinking she was about to be enchanted by Callum’s voice. His embrace was so tight, even trembling slightly.

“If you don’t let go of me, I’ll hit you!” She bit her lips and said threateningly.

He chuckled and looked up. Suddenly, the handsome face was right up close to her. “If you really want to hit me, just do it.”

Lillian froze and looked blankly at the face that was so close to her. She could slap him just by raising her hand, but it felt like she could not.

The feeling when she slapped him once in the face seemed to linger in her palm. “Lillian, do you know how much pain I need to endure to hold you like this?” Callum asked as the humor on his face disappeared, leaving only a solemn expression.

Only then did she realize that his face had turned pale, and his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

“A-Are you okay?” she asked.

Instead of answering her question, he said, “I’m not afraid to endure pain. I’m only scared of not being able to be with you for the rest of my life. D-Do you understand?”

Lillian took a deep breath and said solemnly, “If what you fear most in your life is not being able to be with me, you wouldn’t have broken up with me in the first place. Callum, what you fear most is losing the wealth and power that you worked so hard to get.”

His eyes darkened as his face paled even more. “How can I protect you without wealth and power? Lillian, you don’t understand how important these things are!” Without them, Callum would only be a pushover anyone could bully. He would not even be able to protect himself, let alone protect Lillian.

Lillian smiled bitterly. “Protect me? So you broke up with me to protect me when I was seriously ill in the hospital?”

“I…” he started to say, but was quickly interrupted by her.
