The Ruined Bride of Velvet Nights by Brick Moving Ant

Chapter 65

  • Chapter 11

  • Joseph and I started dating, but our demanding jobs meant we rarely had time to see each other.

  • Most of our encounters took place in war–torn regions–he’d be rushing to treat the wounded, while I’d be in the operating room, fighting to save lives.

  • A fleeting touch as we brushed past each other was often the only connection we shared.

  • There, at the edge of the battlefield, lay a collapsed villager.

  • I knew he was right, and I knew it was his duty to save lives.

  • But when he returned covered in blood–so much blood I couldn’t tell which was his and which

  • wasn’t–my composure crumbled.
