A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 1192

Kingsley was wearing a long, light blue trench coat and Sherman was lying in his arms. His breathing was ragged and rapid," Wake up! Wake up, Sherman!"

Finally, she managed to open her heavy eyelids with difficulty and saw Kingsley's face. His handsome face looked haggard and gloomy at that time. There was pale stubble on his chin. He looked very anxious. He kept patting Sherman's face.

Sherman felt her throat dry and sore. She coughed softly and reached out to take his hand. Then she said in a hoarse voice," You're hurting me, honey."

At once, Kingsley's tall, strong body tensed up. He didn’t speak or move. He just stared at her without blinking. His eyes were dark, peaceful, yet deep as pools of water.

He seemed calm, but his heaving chest gave away his emotions.

Sherman was a little uncomfortable with the way he looked at her. She felt a little nervous.

She looked down and noticed that her wounds had been dressed and she was wearing a jacket. Apparently, the doctor had already examined her.

His dark, deep eyes kept staring at her for a long time. Then Kingsley drew back his arm and got up and stepped aside. He didn't say anything to Sherman. He lit a cigarette and stood there in silence. The smoke rose slowly. Kingsley's face was in the smoke, and Sherman could not see his expression clearly.

Lee came over and brought a glass of water. "Ms. Holmes, Mr. Wright had been looking for you all night. Since he got your call last night, he had sent people looking for you. The entire woods were on fire, but Mr. Wright broke in, despite us all trying to stop him. Look at his clothes."

Sherman's gaze shifted down. Then she noticed that Kingsley’s light blue trench coat had been torn by branches and smoked black. His suit pants and leather shoes were all torn. The man looked like he had crawled out of a pile of ashes.

Also, on the side of his face and on his jaw, there were scratches from branches, light o r deep, even on the back of his hands. And his lips were dry.

Sherman stared at Kingsley. She couldn't imagine how he found her during the time she was missing.
