Nội dung text A Wicked Husband [ENGLISH] 19+ (PART 2) COMPLETED
"...!" Eileen threw off her blanket and got up. She frantically looked around. Then, she hurriedly pulled up her pajama and checked her body. But there was no trace left on her body. Only the red mark on her wrist from the box seat customer's grip from last night was a very faint different color. Eileen, who had been blankly looking down at her wrist, got out of bed and checked her room. Nothing had changed from before she fell asleep. The papers and books on the table were still scattered just as they had been the night before. There was no scent of incense at all. Only the musty smell of dust hung in the air. Eileen looked at the ancient text and mumbled blankly, "Was it a dream?" It was a very strange dream. It wasn't a nightmare since Cesare was in it, but... Eileen ran her hand over her arm. She still felt as if the touch from last night lingered on her skin. *** Having been rescued safely without a single scratch, there is no other way to express it but as a miracle. It is clear that the hand of God protected the Grand Duchess of Erget. Asseff, the Duke of Farbelini, with a cold expression, put down the newspaper. He was displeased by the trashy article joyfully scribbled in La Verita. Ornella, who had been buried under the collapsed Pantheon, was seriously injured. Asseff immediately took his daughter to his residence and had his family doctor examine her, but he was told that she might have a permanent limp. Asseff roared, asking if the doctor dared to make the Duke of Farbelini's only daughter lame, and the doctor swore he would do whatever it took to cure Ornella. What angered Asseff was not just Ornella's injury. Unlike the severely injured Ornella, the Grand Duchess, who had also been trapped, was unharmed. It was as if God had truly protected the Grand Duchess. The Grand Duchess had even provided first aid to the severely injured Ornella. The House of Grand Duke Erget would not have missed that fact, and they didn't forget to widely publicize the Grand Duchess's good deed and print articles praising her medical knowledge. It seemed that Ornella was used to elevate the Grand Duchess's reputation. Asseff narrowed his eyes in displeasure and looked up. His daughter, lying in bed, was reading a newspaper just like him. Other newspapers and magazines besides La Verita were also loudly chattering about the miracle of the Pantheon. The Grand Duchess was receiving all the attention. Asseff thought that this must be infuriating Ornella, so he subtly offered words of comfort. "Don't worry. I won't let a single scar remain on your body."
